Hi Dix,

I'm a big believer that a lot of what ails us is due to diet. Have you considered having a review with a registered dietician? My concentration levels have increased dramatically after cutting way back on caffeine and eliminating processed sugar. Junk food is nonexistent in my diet and daily exercise is a must. We're all different and have to find what works for us. Good luck and keep stringing the days together.

Hi Allswell,
You are right that diet plays a great role for mood swings.
I found tremendous difference being a sober,now body and brains tell me what to eat,drink,do or don't do anything.Now my body doent like heavy eating,and now is telling to quit tobacco.
I think after quiting it my mind will feel peace and I will get concentration. I am doing of dieting myself and focusing to give up tobacco used products and see if go to dietician or not.
I agree with you on dieting.

Hi and well done dixon,Your achievements so far are truly inspirational to many here :-) When I first stopped drinking I could never imagine I would rather be at home with a good book then out my :friends: drinking. I now prefer it and enjoy the control and calm I have in my life.Yes the control over not drinking which I never had before because I thought I would miss the lifestyle that went along with it. It was the wrong choice for a lifestyle and it had taken over control of every aspect of my life.I have the control back . Not the control over alcohol but the control over the decision not to drink.
No thanks I don't drink do you have a water or herbal tea :-) Nobody I know can imagine how good it feels to me inside to say that.

Madmans welcome back , I hope you had some wonderful days !!

Yes , I am also trying to post in the column of Abstinence ,I am not sure either I am eligible or quite enough AF for this thread ??

Mario,
Its an almost universal truth and widely accepted thoughts that any mind altering substances are not good fit to the human body.Interestingly,While I was on my way back to home I met a friend ( not very close but socially connected ) , he purposed for a drink and I say no ,he became puzzled and asked me how will you going to be enjoying your future life then??.You will lose all of your friends ,do you have any health problems,or is it simply because of your family ,or for the sake of saving money and so on...
Really ,I also never could think a life about it before ,I was thought like you like my friend and now when think of it I really scare of my future ! what a difference.
I simply replied him, I would enjoy paying the bills of friends as usual but would do my best not to drink at all cause I am not well with my figure( fat )..I offered him for a drink and was looking at him very self-consciously to make me more stronger.

We are a winner now Mario,
Dix

Hi K9,
Of course it is a kind of record and reminding all the times !!
Actually I do the following for time pass and fun,
1. Research of different topics relating to economy.politics and mainly human beings in the internet and books.
2.Meditation- whenever I get a flexible time.
3. Finding out and preparation of healthy foods.
4. Light exercise at home.
5. Knowing the life of destitute people like us and their success story again.
6.Listening musics...
that's all to maintain the AF life and still hoping to carry on some productive/exemplary works later on.
How about you ?

Hi Wagon,
I think I have defeated AL now.
I am now focused to build up my future and regain the life.Thinking what to do if wouldn't be able to do so ...may be I have to regain my self esteem back yet ??

Well done Dix on 90 days! Life is not perfect without AL but we're able to make sound decisions and deal with things as they come. Aren't you in a much better position to address your family issues now instead of where you were 90 days ago? I'm glad to see the alcohol struggles are going away.

Allswell,

To be honest, I do not have any Al craving at all now .It was from the very beginning when I started my 90 days .May be its because of my huge losses like health,prestige,family( this happened in my life which I never think of it ),property etc.Now I feel energetic physically and find me younger,I don't eat or drink the stuff which I believe not good for my health.I am now more focused to rebuild my mental inventory.
I hope you are also doing well.Do you have any specific thread started by you that you would like refer to me ?
