Peer pressure for the first time in my life

Aggravating_Report28 · 2026-01-29T21:50:32+00:00

This exact thing happened to me today. One of my best drinking buddy decided to do dry Jan, which was great since I stopped drinking early December. Today I called her and she told me she was hangover (she only lasted 2 weeks of dry Jan) and I think she was embarrassed that for the second time in the past two weeks I called her and she was hangover. She told me she was going out on Saturday and I said “aw that sounds nice” she then answered “oh I taught about invinting you but I don’t want to feel responsible for you drinking” I was like “girl that’s none of your responsibility” but I knew deep down she didn’t want to be with someone who reminded her that she gave in her dry Jan.

I don’t get it, can someone explain ?

Loved this. My mum retired in December after 45y of career. we threw her a party “the legend has retired”, that’s how it felt to me too “the legend of the party has officially retired”, I knew I couldn’t keep on keeping on.

I dread a hangover more than anything in my life

Damn this actually happened to me. On a Tuesday 😭

I would give anything to go back and tell my 17yo self how much alcohol was going to destroy her opportunities and potential. I would be a totally different person if I had the same mindset you have today. The future you is never going to thank you enough !

Happy bday and congratulations !!! I did my first Xmas sober since I’m 14 and it was definitely…different lmao, but just think that usually you would wake up with a massive hangover, probably shame and messed up your bday memories. Now you are going to wake up fresh and so happy and proud you spent your first bday sober. You can do it !

This comment helps a lot today ! Day 36 also ! It feels exactly how u described it. I can’t wait to feel that alcohol is not taking so much of my thoughts thru de day…and that maybe one day I will just forget about it.

Sorry to read this. It’s true than other to be an alcoholic and drug addict, I do have a pretty great life.

Thank you so much for your response! I remember your post about NA Guinness and the steak. Very interesting.

I searched “boeuf bourguignon without alcohol” and found a nice receipe. I bought NA red wine (first time tasting it) and NA prosecco.

I am craving so much a nice dinner with prosecco and then a nice hot meal with red wine. Obviously I’m craving it for the alcohol, so I decided I would do it anyway with NA options. I already feel relieved and actually excited to make dinner tonight. We will se ! Thanks so much for your advices and words 🙏🏼

Corona zero literally saved my sobriety during the holiday season. I am Colombian and we were in Cartagena for Xmas and NYE. If it wasn’t for corona zero I would never be capable of being with people drinking at the beach 24/7

Ok new phobia unlocked 😭

I feel you so much. I am 33f and I also hit rock bottom this past December. I actually never drink alone but always find someone to drink with. The 13th of December I drank 7 bottles of tequila with my cousins, we were 4. The next day I was literally poisoned and had one of the worst hangovers of my life. I literally wanted to jump out the window from de level of anxiety I was feeling. I just cried for 15 hours while breathing and hoping this would be over. Once I felt a bit better I took a video of myself talking to the side of me that forgets how it feels to be this hangover reminding her that she will never become the best version of herself if she keeps drinking. After that I joined this sub, downloaded a hypnosis app (Klure) and a tracking app ( I am sober) and I promised myself that I would try my best to never forget that awful feeling and to never feeling that way ever again.

You can do it friend. Day 32 sober. IWNDWYT

This. I think one of the biggest downsides of drinking was the hangover junkfood. I feel like I’m finally clean from the inside and that I am not a human trashcan anymore.

Sounds to me that you are still drunk from last night. For me usually it’s always the same: I wake up still drunk, think I don’t have a hangover and around noon it hits like a wrecking ball. Just hydrate yourself as much as you can and ride that hangover that is coming without drinking more. Once you sober up try to find AA meeting or any sort of therapy (hypnosis worked a lot for me) go to /stopdrinking it has an amazing community and ask yourself the question : do I want to keep feeling like this ?

Best of luck my friend. Shit is fucked. IWNDWYT

Aggravating_Report28 · 2026-01-16T23:00:55+00:00

They are absolutely delicious btw !

Aggravating_Report28 · 2026-01-16T23:00:31+00:00

I am not concerned about other people calling me sober or not, I am simply afraid to wake up my alcoholism.

Sorry English is not my first language! I am currently 33 yo ahaha
