I'm down 18 pounds. My usual blood pressure, even on BP medicine was ~160/high 90's. I've not taken BP meds for a couple months and just checked my BP for the first time in a while. ... 125/ 72 . I'll take this as a win! Hell yes!!!!👏 Cutting out beer will be tough but I’ll at least cut down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 27 minutes ago, JW75 said: Awesome! Wish I could eliminate at least 1 of my 2 meds for BP. Non Smoker. Non drinker. Exercise regularly and still fight the 140/low 90s battle. We always have done our 6 month wellness for health insurance and never had issues until Covid about wiped me out. Coincidence ? Maybe. Just getting older? Maybe. Frustrating though. Congrats on yours! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) So I started my fast. Started out, almost made 72 hours all water but I caved hard after going to the y for an hour. Came home, fed the boys and ravaged the fridge. Still no sugar or alcohol. Doing a 16 off 8 on type of deal. Not trying to lose weight just get right spiritually and mentally. Keep up the good work guys. Edited January 11 by NotIThatLives 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you said you spent 20? I can't imagine. The last couple years have been a lot of up and down. Decided 2024 was the year I quit for good. I think I've had 8 sober days so far but I'm at day 4 right now. Almost went out Friday night but I thought about this thread, you, and the others that are doing it. It definitely helps knowing I want to keep up with you guys. Also down 3 more lbs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Been a sober 24 so far, but yesterday went off rails?! Today visited a friend, owner of a liquor store. He’s from Iraq, we share more life experiences than most Americans and I do! Today we talked about our experiences of riding on trains in Russia! Not sure how I can continue when some of my best friends are at the liquor store! Maybe I can just go in and say hi! Give me strength Lord! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronkonagurski Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Well boys, I just found out my job of 18 years is being eliminated. Glad I've been doing my healthy things so my mental state is strong. The drinking version of myself would be going through an entire case of beer tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
