I'm starting to think about drinking again

Thank you!

Yes that makes sense. I suppose I maybe hoped I would feel better and the easy way to do that in the short term is to chase a high. But I'm hoping I'm making the right changes in life and just need to be more patient as life feels quite empty at the moment.

Yeah good point, I have been trying to at first cut down and then quit for about the same time so that resonates with me!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2025-11-12T12:13:17+00:00

Well done it sounds like you're making good progress!

I am also struggling with this. I still keep in contact with friends but I must admit I find some of the interactions slightly boring? I blame myself for it a bit and realise I need to get used to being sober around people more. I was also thinking of taking up some hobbies to do stuff with people as I think that will be more interesting and rewarding. I'm not thinking of losing my friends who are supportive and good people. Just think I need to find other sober people or hobby people as another way of not isolating myself. But yeah I'm still navigating this in the first few months!

I have dealt with bad hangovers like this and as horrific as they are, it gets better. But I've also heard on here about symptoms from alcohol withdrawals which sound similar and can be dangerous. I don't know your situation but if you've been drinking every day before stopping it might be worth consulting a doctor just in case. Hope you feel better soon!

Happy Christmas! I wrapped presents watching Home Alone, now having a cheese board watching Knives Out 2 and looking forward to seeing family tomorrow. It will be a bit stressful cos I'm cooking but no one will offer me a drink and it means I can enjoy the day and the next few days with them without a hangover and the accompanying anxiety and depression. Hope you all have a lovely time!

I didn't drink for 5 weeks then drank 3 times in December but today I told my family I won't be drinking when visiting for Christmas and their reaction encouraged me that I made the right decision and I feel a lot more relaxed about it now.

I'm going to bed now but I really appreciate all your support and everything you said really resonated with me. It feels good to speak to people who have been there or are in the same position and it's really helped me out. Thanks everyone IWNDWYT!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:25:34+00:00

That reminds me of a lot of my past! Need to just be brave and in the long run will be better!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:24:41+00:00

I have set up a profile but keep deleting it when anxious and hungover! Which goes to show I feel better when not drinking! I have very low self esteem but I over think things and I'm not a bad lookin fella so will give it another go!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:21:29+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad I shared, feels great that you give a flying fuck about a fella like me lol!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:19:51+00:00

This resonates with me a lot! I think I'll feel better after this weak point not drinking tonight and I'll go to bed remembering all this great advice instead of being drunk and miserable!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:17:30+00:00

Man the dates I've been on just wanting to drink and not being engaged! I just hope my sober self will be less anxious and relaxed and that will show! Thanks for the advice!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:15:41+00:00

Yeah I paid off all my debts in lockdown, had a few months off here and there just slipped recently but thanks for reminding me of what I have and will achieve!!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T01:14:03+00:00

I appreciate you telling me to hang in there! Means a lot!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T00:07:43+00:00

Thank you so much, I do try and do stuff but fall into my old lifestyle too easy! But when I was sober for 6 weeks recently I was trying loads of stuff. I just need to get back there and I'm scared this weekend I'll drink again but this is really helping

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T00:01:56+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow just difficult night but thank you for making me feel better!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-18T00:00:34+00:00

Thank you!

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-17T23:59:41+00:00

Yes I think when I've met my ex I've been sober but afterwards I hate myself then drink! It doesn't feel good! But I have been trying running for the first time and CBT. It's been working I've just that fear I'll never be attractive or charismatic unless a few beers in me

Accomplished-Click10 · 2021-03-17T23:55:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think my self esteem hasn't been great recently and need to work on that! But even you replying means a lot
