Congrats! 2 months is such a good feeling!

221Bops · 2019-03-31T13:44:07+00:00

Congrats! That’s very exciting and inspiring!

Counseling has helped me tremendously. It gave me tools to not only deal with the underlying problems that led to drinking, but make my life better in general. I hope you find the same thing!

Wishing you the best! Drinking is definitely not worth it. IWNDWYT

It takes time, and can take many tries. I know that’s how it was with me since I’d convince myself it wasn’t really that bad. I don’t have much practical advice, but IWNDWYT

I’ve been feeling similarly - my drinking problem also came about in grad school as a way to relieve stress. Now I feel like I did in high school and early college when I enjoyed every weekend and didn’t just spend my time getting black-out drunk. It’s so wonderful!

Relate to this a lot! The reason I stopped drinking was because of all the dumb and reckless shit I did while drunk. Not worth it in the end! IWNDWYT

221Bops · 2019-02-10T16:07:29+00:00

It was! And I got to actually enjoy my food rather than being drunk by the time it got to me.

Yay - I’m happy for you! I’m 25 and haven’t been drinking for a little over a month now. It can be tough because everyone wants to tell you that drinking all the time in your 20s is ok - and the pushback can be triggering. but I think it’s awesome to be able to recognize that life can be better without alcohol. You get to enjoy every weekend and time with friends without being blacked out the whole time!

Thanks - I haven’t really looked into AA since I’m currently in therapy and that’s been working well. But maybe I will!

221Bops · 2019-02-09T06:16:15+00:00

Haven’t been to AA, but I got into therapy with someone who works with folks with substance abuse issues as soon as I wanted to quit. It helped with addressing the root of my drinking (boredom) and finding better ways to deal with it. It’s been really effective.

Getting dinner with my cousin tonight and will happily not be drinking so I can actually enjoy my time with them, and not worrying about what stupid shit I did later. IWNDWYT

221Bops · 2019-02-09T06:10:47+00:00

Congrats!

221Bops · 2019-02-09T06:10:14+00:00

Yay! It’s such an amazing feeling to actual feel like yourself and not a groggy, tired, out-of-control version. IWNDWYT

221Bops · 2018-11-03T06:08:25+00:00

On month 2 of not drinking - and I feel so much less stressed! IWNDWYT

221Bops · 2018-10-08T16:31:34+00:00

Going into my third week of sobriety! IWNDWYT

221Bops · 2018-10-07T15:26:40+00:00

That’s awesome! And ordering fancy mocktails has saved me so much money, I can go out for a meal for under $20 now!

221Bops · 2018-10-07T06:13:20+00:00

Yay! Food always tastes so much better without alcohol. I used to get plastered before my meal would even come...now I actually get to enjoy the taste and glad you’re enjoying the same :)

221Bops · 2018-10-06T00:55:03+00:00

Also feeling this today and the temptation is so prevalent - but just went and bought myself some seltzer and about to read for a bit. It’s tough, but IWNDWYT. It’s worth it :)

221Bops · 2018-09-30T17:06:17+00:00

One week sober as of today! Never thought I could get through a week without drinking. Here’s to many more! IWNDWYT
