I'm so grateful for this space, thanks to everyone for this community! Woke up rested and happy after a sober DnD session. I find myself waking with the sunrise, even on my days off. Applying for an online professor position today, fingers crossed, this has been a dream goal for 4 years now. No poisonous alcohol in my system today, I make this promise to myself and all of you fine folks!

Years ago my family tried to do a DnD like game and I couldn't focus enough to do it. I wonder if I would be any better at it now....

294 days since I last drank! Went out to dinner last night with my wife's friends - all drinking. Again. My wife finally said we need to get some friends who do more than just drink.
Congrats on 294!!!
Congrats, almost 300!!! Iwndwyt.
I haven't had a drink for about 5 weeks now. I'm not filled with a desire to drink everyday when I get home, but every once in a while there are moments where I get a craving. I'm sleeping better and my skin looks great. I don't look as tired as I used to. While I did lose some weight... it seems to have hit a speed bump and slowed down. I really need to put in effort to lose weight now.
I hope you all stay sober today and wish you luck! IWNDWYT
Good on you!
Don't worry about the weight loss. Just stay sober. If you get a craving, sugar may help as well. The weight loss can come later, you're already much healthier than before.
Are you exercising? I started fitness when I quit drinking and now have a home gym. Super convenient. It's a good stress reliever.
I walk the doggo a fair amount and also have a home gym (recumbent stationary bike, steam link + tv to game with). I'm down about 8 pounds over the past month, which is great. I just need to put the work in and I'm sure some more will come off.

The sleep quality is a game changer!

Mine does that too LOL. BETA times. :)
I've got 5 apps at the moment. Everyone with its own flaws. But they get so many updates, it will get better.
