7 Days Sober

[Aoife]

I might be 7lbs heavier too but who care. I can talk, laugh and no guilt. The last couple of days I have been flying high. I am sure if I had wings I would be flying to keep up with myself. This worries me a wee bit. Not much is normal in our household. I am sober, the house is getting a good dung out. I can stay up late and still talk normally. I buy boxes of chocolates instead of wine. I am eating for all the years I didn;t when I was drinking. There is sometimes a funny taste in my mouth. I am sleeping like a log but struggle to settle initially, legs arms all over the show.
Normally Sunday is my favourite excuse for drinking all day after church!! can you believe that!! As soon as I think of drink I immediately start eating and it does pass.
So helpful and healthy to pop in and know I am not alone.

Way to go Aoife!
I've been eating my cravings also! I'd rather be chubby than hungover

What's it all about why do we want to eat and eat and eat??

7 Days Sober

Hey Aoife :h

Your first seven days sound like a blast!! Are there peanut m&ms anywhere in that repast? :H

I was eating non stop,and without a guilty molecule in any calorie. I think i eat like this to make up for all the empty calories I consumed all those years. Plus it replaced the mechanics of opening a bottle, cutting up limes, pouring in tonic....that sort of thing.

I'm 36 days and take Topa and I have backed off a bit. One thing which I am crazy doing is drinking a ton of water & ice tea with slices and slices of lemons. I am thirsty ALL THE TIME!
jeez, maybe I'm a diabetic..no, I doubt it. I also read on another thread that lemons ave been shown to have fantastic cancer fighting qualities and as I have had 2 of my dearest most bestest girlfriends fight both breast and cervical, I am all in for the lemons! :h

KEEP up the good fight and Happy munching:l

Way to go!! I am on Day 7 as well and know I gained some weight for sure. I am eating like a madwoman, but like you don't care right now. It is only temporary and as BB said, I'd rathre be chubby than hungover. It feels amazing to have a clear head on a Sunday morning and not be waiting for the clock to strike drinking time.

We are on the same days, let's be long term MWO success stories.

Hey Aoife! Congrats on your 7+ days! Hope you're still going strong!

I saw in another thread that you were asking about where to find the Tool Box. It's the first thread under "Monthly Abstinence." It's also a "sticky" so it will always be the first thread under that section. It kept me busy many a night in the early "sober school" days.

Let us know if you can't find it.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks munching on snacks and Soda water. Really felt like a brandy, went to the effort of opening the bottle sniffed the smell and put it away again. Ok again. Relaxing with my soda.
