Functioning alcoholic ... an update

  • Popular Post

Five weeks and two days since my last drink and back at the gym three days a week.

I went to the rehab support group, which was rubbish. I have decided to do private counselling, one on one.

Fifteen pounds down.... That’s 15!!!!!!!

Omg Amazing!


Good for you. Taking care of yourself is what this journey is all about. Good for you getting a counselor. I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to continue one day at a time- like all of us must- whether the addiction is food or booze- or both. Good luck!


I will hit my two year mark in a month and can say sobriety is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself to date. Next is WLS on Thursday. With sobriety there will be good days and bad but always remember that booze never makes anything better in the end. Praying for you! If you ever need support, please reach out.


Keep doing this Kate, have faith in the recovery.

Congrats Kate!!! You're one strong lady. Respect!

Congrats on being sober. My dad is 8 years and I am 2 this year July from opiods

Every single day is a struggle but even after such a short time I feel so much better. Thank you x

Congratulations !!! ?

Kate you are my hero. Congratulations!!

Before committing to this surgery, I was a daily drinker. A relaxing cocktail after work was just part of my routine. I had to come to terms with letting go of that lifestyle. I am feeling much better for it, not to mention a little richer:)

Also, my mother is a recovering alcoholic 29 years sober.

Keep putting you first, one day at a time!
