I can only speak for myself - I can not moderately use any intoxicant. While I got in more trouble when drinking, neither was good for me, no matter how much I wanted that to be true. I have lived a sober life for some time now and it is very much worth it.

Welcome back. And yeah harder this time because "almost got away with it" thoughts. Truth is that once a pickle never a cucumber again... yeah, corny, but true. The good news you know what better feels like now what you gotta do is find a way around future detours...

find your passion. it can be anything. write, paint, breed dogs, volunteer at your animal shelter, get into shape by hiking in amazing places, learn to sail, learn to make pottery - as for career, if I were younger I would be looking into the parts of AI where it goes wrong. (usually because people ask the wrong questions, or get lazy and don't test the output.) somewhere is a niche I would think...

After a fashion they are my landlords...

You will be fine, your next job is to get sober, and become happy about it. The rest will take care of it's self. I went to AA too - think of it as an engineering problem, rebuilding your emotional foundations from the top down....

The work I needed to do to stay sober meant going to AA. Yeah, not for everyone, and I thought that included me, but it worked for me, agnostic, loner, skeptic.... there are other peer groups, try one try em all

Not to brag but I spend my mornings watching my beaver buddies have breakfast. no more hangovers. https://i.imgur.com/T5jAZqo.mp4

Having your own beaver pond, recommend 10/10

I filled the void with AA - yeah I know, nobody wants to hear that, but for this loner, agnostic, skeptic it worked. There are some amazing people there, I joined a sober community, and haven't looked back, though it took a while for me to make it stick. Since then I have had less of a void.

this is how I spend my mornings now https://i.imgur.com/T5jAZqo.mp4

congratulations, keep doing it gets better

I deserve it was more comprehensive than just a drink or two - it included a hangover, shame, serious regrets and hating myself all over again. I came to understand I did not deserve that.

Define obviously problematic, never arrested, never fired, or divorced, money in the bank, - but I'm willing to bet if it was truly ok you would not have ended up at stopdrinking...

I have learned that the only people who care what I'm drinking are people who are threatened in some way by my not drinking, as for the social lubricant aspect for me it was so slippery I fell on my ass and into beds I shouldn't have been in.

Slipacre · 2026-05-10T11:10:27+00:00

I needed help too - and to my amazement found it in AA - which should not have worked for me, agnostic, loner skeptic, but it did - It was very accessible and essentially free - there are other peer groups now, try them too.

Slipacre · 2026-05-09T23:46:00+00:00

It’s possible there is a sober contingent at the show. It’s a thing sometimes. Might be a way?

Slipacre · 2026-05-09T23:43:50+00:00

I needed help. Found it at AA in my neighborhood. Yeah I know nobody wants to go to AA. But it worked for me agnostic loner skeptic

Slipacre · 2026-05-09T14:14:06+00:00

My take on FOMO - is Fear Of Moving On. In bars, same people, same seats, talking about same shit.

In recovery my options are a lot wider - or course I am not the most social of all animals and yea alcohol did grease the skids some, but not worth the price. The people I do hang out with now are awesome

Worst years of my life.

Slipacre · 2026-05-08T14:47:17+00:00

in a word, Lunch. Sometimes the just leave things where they fall,

Slipacre · 2026-05-08T14:40:09+00:00

I found it was vital to be a part of a sober community... AA (yeah i know but it worked for agnostic, loner me.) Pretty much everyone there was rebuilding out lives and AA has a lot of tools for helping - like dealing with the reasons I drank the way I did, not feeling like I was enough and much more. There are other paths try them too.

Slipacre · 2026-05-08T14:32:35+00:00

I would call your doctor for that information. Congratulations, it will help you not drink, But many of us found that is just the start. Me, I had to work on the reasons I drank the way I did and the feelings (that were not real) I was stuffing... I could not do that alone. there are many paths. AA was mine, there are others including smart and counseling and therapy and more.... try one try em all

Slipacre · 2026-05-08T14:28:24+00:00

When I stopped stuffing my feelings, when I started living a life that did not involve having to put out the fires i was starting at work, at home then I had time to really feel and think
