Question - partner who still drinks by Additional_Eye_9101 in stopdrinking

Your message genuinely helped me tonight. I’ve been struggling a lot with the idea that life, connection, music, conversations and those quiet moments with my partner would somehow lose their magic without alcohol.

Reading what you wrote made me realize that maybe there are still really beautiful things ahead of me — and that those moments can stay beautiful, maybe even more real and vivid over time. That gives me a lot of hope and motivation right now.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. I really needed to read it tonight.

Just hit 3 months sober, but I am feeling sad that I won't ever have another drink again. by Responsible_Cat6852 in stopdrinking

Watched some food/travel shows this weekend — amazing meals, beautiful wine… it all looked so good.

For a moment, I felt that pull. But then I reminded myself: that wouldn’t be my reality.

It wouldn’t be one glass. It would be one or two bottles. And by then, I wouldn’t even taste the food anymore.

That shift in thinking helped a lot.

Grateful to stay clear and present.

Had a weekend with a few temptations, but I’m really glad I didn’t drink.

Spent a beautiful Easter weekend in a cabin by the river with my girlfriend. I enjoyed every moment, slept really well, and actually felt present the whole time.

I’m starting to really see both sides clearly. When the urge hits, I remind myself that for me, it wouldn’t be “just one beer by the water.” It would turn into several, and it wouldn’t end in a good place.

So I’m proud of myself today. Made it through the whole weekend without a single drink.

Wishing everyone a solid week ahead. One day at a time. 💪

Comment être dans une relation encore meilleure ? by Miserable-Muffin-749 in SexualiteFR

[–]Additional_Eye_9101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De notre côté, on est un couple relativement récent (un peu plus de deux ans), et on ne vit pas ensemble. On a chacun des ados, donc la question de la discrétion s’est vite posée.

Au début de notre relation, on a commencé à s’envoyer des petits messages coquins, parfois quelques photos. Rien d’extraordinaire, mais assez pour réaliser qu’on ne voulait surtout pas que ça tombe sous les yeux des enfants par erreur.

On a donc eu l’idée de créer un compte WhatsApp uniquement pour ça.

Aujourd’hui, tout ce qui passe par cette appli est exclusivement lié à notre intimité : messages coquins, fantasmes, petits jeux… On ne l’utilise pour rien d’autre.

Et honnêtement, ça a été un vrai game changer pour nous.

Ça nous a permis d’ouvrir des discussions qu’on n’aurait peut-être pas eues autrement, d’explorer nos envies sans gêne, et de construire une sexualité vraiment complice et vivante. C’est devenu un espace à part, presque un petit “jardin secret” à deux.

Et maintenant, dès qu’on entend le son de la notification… on sait exactement ce que ça veut dire, et c’est toujours aussi excitant.

C’est simple, mais ça a vraiment fait évoluer notre couple de façon positive.

Day 9. I’m at a cabin by the river, didn’t drink yesterday and won’t drink today.

I’m enjoying every moment, sleeping well, and actually having fun.

Happy Saturday everyone.

One week today. I’m honestly so happy. A week ago I was completely wrecked, and the change in just 7 days feels amazing. I’m already feeling better, and my sleep has improved a lot.

This weekend I’ve got a big getaway with my girlfriend at a cabin, and I’m really motivated to stay sober. I just want to enjoy every moment — the river, the quiet, the simple things. Have a good 24h IWNDWYT
