I recently tried quitting everything last Sunday, with drew all last week and then relapsed Friday, Saturday and Sunday worst withdrawals I ever had (cold sweats, shaking, wasn’t sure I would survive). I’m through the worst of it now but any advice? Thought about rehab but can’t stop work. This is probably my 9th time trying to go sober during the pandemic. I live alone so the isolation with the pandemic has extremely escalated my usage to the point of about a bottle of a day on weekdays

Has anyone in here lost a fairly significant amount of weight? Like more than 70 lbs?

Can you tell me about that experience if you have?
I have 80lbs to lose and I’m feeling overwhelmed. I just want to hear that real people have done it, especially working professionals who have busy lives.

11/4 check-in: Happy Friday, friends! What are everyone’s workout plans for today?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

My confession for now is that sometimes the thought of sleep paralysis is stressful enough to deter me from going to sleep to the point that I stay awake until I physically can’t stay awake any longer

Have any of you folks experienced sleep paralysis? Tell me some of the horrors you’ve seen at night.. I know I’m gonna regret this 🥲

Based on the recent Supreme Court update is it illegal for a company to mandate getting a booster? Does your company require getting a booster?

I don't think ppl would care as much about non vaxxed if they would just wear their damn masks and socially distance. One of my best friends is unvaxxed because of extreme fear of needles/medical stuff and i have no qualms w him bcos he masks, distances, is honest about his status if someone asks, and isn't trying to turn it into martyrdom

My husband and I are going through our 2nd cycle. He initially asked me to allow his sister to administer my injections because she’s a nurse and I refused. I don’t like depending on people when I am capable of doing things myself. This is taking an emotional toll on me already, but I don’t want him to feel like I’m refusing his help and excluding him from the process, because I won’t take his suggestion. How do I get him to understand?

Wife (29) and I (27) have been trying for just 2 months. She has PCOS. Does anyone have experience seeing a fertility specialist prior to a year of trying? Would it be worth doing sooner rather than later given the PCOS?

If your company has miscarriage leave, what are the downsides of sharing your pregnancy before your 2nd trimester? I always assumed it was because you wouldn’t want to share the loss but with companies that make accommodations it seems like it could be a safe place to share.

Anyone else super tired / drained / exhausted after work with no desire or energy to do anything ? :/ why is this happening I feel So sluggish and like I’m just not even participating in my life

So, recently seen a lot of (great) posts about weight loss and plateauing, but genuinely surprised to see that many are relying on cutting out food, but not focused on exercising. Why is this the case? There are SO many benefits to health from exercising, beyond just weight loss...

I keep binge eating at night. How can I stop this?

I have mild PCOS. My period is regular (28 to 32 days). We have recently started trying and are using the clear blue ovulation sticks to try to pindown ovulation days. Any success stories?

If you are feeling anxious and depressed these days, just know that you are not alone.

Please put a note and I would love to pray for you. God bless you all!

Anyone had luck finding a good therapist who actually understands ADHD? Getting advice like "try taking a walk every day" and "practice these breathing exercises" is driving me crazy. I need actual solutions and shit, not just platitudes and internet worksheets.

Starting on my journey to sobriety today from sex addiction. I’ve been clean from alcohol for several years but my therapist has pushed me to start attending AA meetings in addition to SAA meetings. I know I can’t overcome this alone.

Sibling is 52 days sober from heroin/cocaine, but I just found a syringe and alcohol wipes under their pillow.

They have been passing observed urine tests, how is it possible that they’re using? Any ideas?

I could like to cut down my coffee consumption. Can we have that discussion here?
Has anyone successfully stopped consuming completely? Any side effects? How do you tay focused?

I have been alcohol free for 2 months but I use MMJ to focus. My dr prescribed MMJ because I don’t want pharma drugs like Adderall. Is there a place for me in AA or is it all (sobriety) or nothing?

Any DFW folks here? Need to freshen up my meeting routine.

How long does it take after I quick alcohol to start feeling good? For reference - I have been drinking about 3-5 drinks per evening, for about 20 years.

Where to start. Sitting here contemplating life after a sixer and wondering why I keep getting to this place. I make my family scared of me and push my wife and kids farther away while I think everything is ok.I can stop drinking when I need to focus on work, but when things get out of control I just drink it away. Tired of this cycle but unsure where to turn, but I know if I continue down this path it won’t be good. I am a vet and think I have PTSD, but turn to the bottle when needed

4+ months sober. I do zoom AA every day but this was the first time I shared as a newcomer. I have some phone numbers from the group and hoping to get a sponsor soon. I plan to be sober 1 year before I can think of doing the steps. I read Living Sober and The Big Book every day in addition to prayer and mindful meditation. But would love to chat with someone “telephone therapy” can be something like Discord or WhatsApp.
