SRS Five months sober

[mestizo]

Sucks trying to find social things to do that don't involve drinking. Work is going great, night school is still kicking my ass.

I've also been smoke free during that time, quit both cold turkey.

I've been tempted a few times, but am still sober.

have you made any attempts at a group type thing? AA, NA, something like that?

I actually gained weight when I quit drinking. I wouldn't eat very much on the days I would drink though. I went from fluctuating 180-190lbs to 195-205lbs

 

[more off]

i gained nearly 40lbs in my first month off of opiates

lost 20 of that now, feeling healthy

My weight hasn't really change although I'm only 55 days sober.
