Focused on a healthier pathway

I never thought I would be overweight, but here I am eating all kinds of snacks and putting on weight. I think I am substituting sweets etc to get a euphoric feeling. Well I am an alcoholic but at least my I have been sober since May 31, 1998. I am highly critical of myself and others. I also am a caregiver for my partner/boyfriend. I have recently been able to cut back on a lot of work I do but am still not getting involved in what I want to do. I want to be more focused on a healthier pathway, ie taking walks, getting more exercise and sleep. I also want to get back into lap swimming. I have had a lot of grief in my life having lost one daughter to ALS and a granddaughter to accidental death. So that's my story.
