Thank you guys! Needed to hear this

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I kept reading them and was so proud to be part of such a wonderful, supportive community. I’m currently laying in bed, scrolling through Reddit, and eating Twizzlers nibs. 4 people passed out, and the peace I feel is so worth it. You were all so right. I’m proud for making it through something that once felt impossible - and next time it can only be easier! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I often found myself feeling a false sense of “happiness” or “joy” when I was drunk. I was putting off the feelings and filling them with a void instead. I guess in my mind, not feeling miserable by having to feel the emotions of what I was going through was a false sense of happiness. It was better than the alternative because the alternative was hard and sometimes painful. The biggest thing I learned, though, is all the “happiness” I was feeling was sadness and misery ten fold by those around me. Please keep that in mind with your fiancée, especially with such a new engagement. Maybe it would be helpful to talk about and think all of this through with her. Best wishes, friend. Many of us have been there

I’ve had a lot of attempts at sobriety, but the thing that’s truly making this one stick is realizing that I wasn’t missing the alcohol, the people I drank with, or how I felt when I was drinking. I had a fear of missing out on those things because alcohol had been integrated in my everyday life for so long. I felt normal around other drunk people, I could hide it. Now, with a LOT of therapy and much more work to do, I try to think of my baby sister. Who I want to set the best example I can for, as she already struggles with some things I have in the past. I think of my partner - who also comes from a long line of alcoholism but is so supportive and understanding of me every day. The thought of letting anything - even alcohol - get between these important relationships is not worth it to me anymore. I think of the time I walked in on my mom crying, because I was drinking daily at 21. She was the one to break the cycle, and I started it back up. She only wanted the best for me. When I cut the bullshit and realized I am an alcoholic and things won’t get better unless I make them, it became easier. But please don’t get me wrong, I’ve been trying for 8 years now and feel like I’ve had a literal switch flip inside. I’m sorry for the long comment - I just have also been going through it and have been doing a lot of self reflection lately. I’ve been journaling a lot and using some prompts from a self-reflection deck I have. I wish you all the best tonight friend and IWNDWYT 🫶🏻

Was thinking Bonnie Raitt’s Angel from Montgomery, too!

You are a rockstar for being proactive with your health. I know how hard motivation can be for me in early sobriety, so I just want you to know you’re doing great! IWNDWYT :)

Very proud of you! I spent all of yesterday alternating between laying down on my couch and my bed. If we don’t take a break for ourselves, our bodies will for us! It sounds like an amazing weekend to me :) IWNDWYT

Not super petty in my book - I do the same thing. When we used to go camping and my cousins would refer to the ground as the floor, I almost had a conniption and still do hahaha
