Congratulations on the sobriety. I haven’t been 7 days sober for several months now.

Has your mental health improved or is it worse now?

I was recently sober for 5 days. I went on 10 mile walks a day while my voices were ranting like criminally insane people like I was in some twilight zone boot camp alternative reality. I started feeling really strange and went back on it again.
It has effected my appetite? I am not eating much.
I guess I have better focus too - and much more grounded.
My sleep has improved
When I was sober my voices were driving me crazy and wouldn’t shut up and I kept getting thought insertion so I kept going out in nature running in the sun to distract myself.
you don’t have voices when you drink?
I do, but the thing is the only thing that really motivates me to be sober is some kind of mental break down in the first place, so getting sober is especially harsh.
my motivation was weight loss because I don’t eat a lot just drink a lot.
Yeah that’s a harsh way to live when all your calories come from alcohol pretty much. I try to eat more now.

I’ve started going to the gym everyday! 
If I could just get my diet under control I could lose weight in no time. Very difficult when the food that is easiest to get and most available is all quite unhealthy. I rarely have access to healthy foods nowadays.

My goal at New Year’s was to lose another 10-15 lbs and, um, hasn’t been happening. I’m currently at the same weight, though, so at least I’m not gaining any back. I’ve had to chill out a bit on the cardio after wrecking my back last fall, plus I haven’t been feeling as much motivation to go to the gym. I should have gone today, I have the day off, just don’t care enough to get up and go anywhere. I suppose I could still go later tonight. I eat quite a bit, not a fan of dieting, so I’m working on weight loss primarily through exercise. It had been working, I went from 200 lbs in August to 178 at New Year’s, but I’m just holding steady now, fluctuating some between 175 and 180.

I think I lose 3 pounds after Xmas. I intend to walk 1 hr everyday. I’ll keep doing this until Easter. If I can keep this daily habit for 3 months, it is likely that I can walk for a whole year. I intend to lose weight thru exercising moderately. I like to walk on steep slope. My heart pounds and I breath.
I lost weight with Topirmate but also Tae Bo exercises, eating light salads, fruits and cheerio cereal. I lost 58 lbs. I probably gained some back during the holidays but still fit a size 5.
