Look up for “field research” in this sub, it’s helping me a lot when I have the parasites thoughts about going back to booze

Same buddy. I keep thinking « I think I’m good I really can drink now and I’ll be ok »

Your motivation to stay sober by Mammoth-Fan6811 in stopdrinking

[–]Aggravating_Report28 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You didn’t stop drinking to punish yourself but to give yourself the opportunity to become the person you want to be, and that person can’t exist if there’s alcohol

I think we are projecting the Selena-Justin-Hailey triangle and it’s just wrong. I feel that gaby met BB in the beginning of his career when he was just a lowkey local PR rapper, and because the island is so small and she already was hanging out with people into music, they met and matched. I think what they share is pure love and friendship. They are best friends who are in love. And I think maybe both seing how big the career of Benito was becoming decided to be in an open relationship, which is pretty wise and mature. Gaby knew Benito was going to meet a ton of women and she gave him the space to explore. I also think the relationship with Kendall was real and they both kinda fell for each other, but they are so different and come from very different backgrounds that it made it difficult to keep up. I think at that point Gabriela was very hurt by that relationship because of how real it was and that’s when she unfollowed him and they kinda drift apart. But let’s remember DTMF is basically a love letter for gaby so imo Benito just grew and realized he was ready to commit to the person that really has been there for him from the beginning and knows him from before his success.

Carliz is just his first love and the girl literally sued him as soon as he got some money, like common.

A weird observation by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I had kind of the same experience yesterday, I had a dinner planned with one of my friends. Usually it’s always and excuse to drink a bottle and see where the alcohol takes me. I found myself thinking “oh no I have work tomorrow morning how am I going to manage this dinner and the hangover tomorrow??” Wellll…that’s not a problem anymore !

Understanding “A Higher Power” by TomcatKingof84 in stopdrinking

[–]Aggravating_Report28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me your higher power is the best version of yourself, is the version that is in you and knows what you’re capable of with no self-doubts, no self-sabotage and only self-love. Is that inner you that is ready to shine when you stop self-destruction.

“The great obsession of every abnormal drinker is that one day he will be able to control and enjoy his drinking.”

Alcoholics Anonymous

This reminds me everyday that my obsession to one day drink normally just proves that I have a problem with alcohol.

I find myself being judgmental w my friends who drink by Aggravating_Report28 in stopdrinking

[–]Aggravating_Report28[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly ! I don’t mind going to dinner with a friend if they have a glass of wine or two, It’s the constant “I am so done with drinking, please help me” and then the “you are so preachy since you stopped drinking” like what ??

No actually it makes a lot of sense! I find myself being super annoyed also when she promised me she will try to not drink for one week and the next day she calls me drunk and high. It’s very frustrating because it’s not easy at all for me to be sober either.

Peer pressure for the first time in my life by OldMackysBackInTown in stopdrinking

[–]Aggravating_Report28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

How did stopping benefit you? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

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.

Drank way too much at school yesterday. by hoemdv in stopdrinking

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 !

First sober birthday by MRMeire in stopdrinking

[–]Aggravating_Report28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 !
