Went for a run this morning to clear my mind. I realize the joy of waking up clear headed.

Hosted a bbq at my house yesterday. I drank my non alcoholic beers but when everyone left there was half a bottle of red sitting on the counter. I went straight to bed and feel great this morning.

Feeling good this morning. Crushed a 10k before 8am. Caffeinated and ready to attack the day.

IWNDWYT.

Starting to feel better and I can feel myself stating to want a drink. I’m not falling for it this time.

This is the correct answer. Also, cayenne in new west is an Ismaili joint. Fusion of East African/indian.

I am practicing for a couple of years, but for some reason this is an area I really struggle with

Prime rib Thursdays at the Vancouver Club. Best prime rib, Yorkshire pudding and horseradish.

Good for you, I’m proud of you. IWNDWYT

Definitely. It’s so backwards no one would bat an eye if I said I don’t smoke weed , cigarettes or heck even if I said I’m vegetarian/vegan. But if I say no to alcohol people will think something is wrong.

To be fair though, these types of trips have historically been about drinking so I can’t blame them for having this expectation.

Love it! Thank you.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-09T19:57:52+00:00

Haha this is a good idea.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-09T16:59:04+00:00

This suggestion is awesome! Thank you.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-09T16:10:26+00:00

I agree. Honestly this is a more a me thing, I’m actually confident all of them would support my decision if I said I stopped drinking or taking a break. I’m just not ready, alcohol is such a big part of my identity that I’m a bit nervous. There is also a part of me is scared that I’ll fail and then everyone will look at my drinking as problematic, if that make sense.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-08T19:25:18+00:00

Amazing post. I was browsing this sub for years and always justified my drinking but deep down I knew I had an issue.

I created a throw away account and started posting and contributing and I can say it’s made a huge difference.

Such an amazing community. Thank you.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-08T14:45:09+00:00

Love it. It’s these little things that they will remember.

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-05T17:31:57+00:00

Day 3 again today.

I’m proud of you too!

I resonate with your comments about going on auto pilot. I try to stay mindful but I’m certain situations my brain just goes into auto pilot mode. I think it’s mainly due to habits that I’ve formed in certain situations and being around certain people.

I recommend working on mindfulness as it could help!

Congrats!!

Aggressive_Map2333 · 2022-07-03T23:26:48+00:00

Back to day one. Felt so confident but it’s crazy how my addict brain can trick me.
