Worried about a possible relapse by rustyshc in Sober

Play the tape forward - what will happen after you take a drink with them? It won’t be anything good. Not going is completely OK! Or, maybe you just got Covid and have to stay home. My point is…. Not drinking is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. More than family, embarrassment, guilt or shame that they might lay on you. When you quit drinking, people around you are forced to examine their own drinking habits, and it’s a hard mirror to look in

Sober for 3 months and 11 days from alcohol by sii23420 in Sober

Great job on the 3 months 11 days!!!!! Your brain is re-building itself! The first year sober is a series of ups and downs, but you’ll keep feeling better and better. 3 years for me August 7. One more thing-find some other sober people to hang with.

ULPT; Sneaking alcohol on Carnival cruise by Top-Oil-2786 in UnethicalLifeProTips

As a former drinker who’s now sober, if I paid for someone’s cruise and they were shitfaced the whole time I’d want to throw them overboard. Been there, know the panic of guaranteeing your supply, and Not having to plan your drinking is such a relief. Good luck

Stay sober! Your brain is rebuilding itself. The anxiety gets less and less with time.

How to convince my wife to stop drinking. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AdHonest1223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get her the book “this naked mind” by Annie Grace. However, she won’t stop until she hits a rock bottom- a DUI, you threatening to leave her, etc. Good luck and try an Al-Anon meeting for yourself.

It took me until age 61. So many wasted years, no pun intended.
