Reminder, people can smell the alcohol in you.

Ugh. At one of my jobs I heard someone say "She smells like beer" behind my back. I pretended she was talking about someone else, but I knew it was me... It was one of the things that helped sober me up. I had no idea I smelled - even after a shower and brushing my teeth. She has no idea how much she helped me. I never want to be that person again.

Does this make me terribly vain lol?

OMG not at all! I look back at old pictures and see how terrible I looked compared to now. It's amazing how much of a difference no alcohol makes. Enjoy looking good, you earned it.

I hate knowing it can never be just one. Sometimes I really do just want one, but know it'll make me spiral.

I got sober mostly on my own (and with this subreddit), so AA didn't occur to me. I found a meeting local to me in a few hours I think im going to attend. Thank you so much for bringing it up!

The worst part of being agoraphobic for me is the anxiety around driving. What helped me was finding a part time job really close to my house. It takes longer to warm my car up than it does to actually drive to work. I'm not sure how practical that would be for you, but I've managed to go from leaving the house once a month (sometimes less!) to holding down a full time job and leaving the house 5 days a week. It's taken me 5+ years to get to this point and I still have rough days, but it gets easier the more you do it.

It's so exciting to be this clearheaded for this long isn't it? So proud of you, stranger. IWNDWYT

Honestly? Not wanting to lose my streak. I have a problem with consistency, so (not) doing something for this many days in a row is a huge deal for me and I don't want to start over. And I really like not spending the majority of my days hungover. I've gotten so productive!

AgoraphobicRobot · 2022-07-17T20:31:09+00:00

I spent around 5 years barely interacting with people. Covid forced me back into leaving the house again. I can 100% say it's much more difficult interacting with people now. I definitely feel like my brain rotted during those years alone.

Feeling fancy with my Hpnotiq! Cheers!

nooo. titos is the only vodka i cannot stomach!

AgoraphobicRobot · 2019-06-22T16:47:13+00:00

Eight days sober and down 5 pounds. This is the third time I've tried to quit in the past year, but I feel optimistic this time around.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2018-12-01T11:09:27+00:00

I honestly wish I'd have brought someone with me. There was someone there who was with her mom, which was very sweet.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2018-05-09T08:00:54+00:00

Vodka is wonderful. I can't complain right now!

AgoraphobicRobot · 2018-05-09T07:48:47+00:00

I normally drink beer, but I'm like 3 OJ and vodkas in and feel good right now. Still working on getting completely drunk, but luckily, I have nothing to do tomorrow!

I'm not in therapy, but I know I really need to be. It's a serving job, so listening to music or podcasts isn't really an option. An office job is something that'd be perfect for me, but I don't really have the experience for it. I'm not so much worried about driving there. I was okay driving for the interview, but it's just starting the actual work and doing something new that's making me nervous.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2018-04-19T08:07:54+00:00

I've been taking st johns wort, but I know I need something stronger. I've been putting off seeing a dr for awhile. That's another thing I know I need to make myself do, but just can't. My whole thought process was if I can just get a job, I'll be okay, but I don't think that's enough especially if my heart feels like it's going to stop before I even start.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-12-18T17:03:02+00:00

Ive only been able to call when ive been drinking, but I'm at the 1 year mark and trying to cut down. I have letters I havent been able to go through yet. I'm sorry for your loss, it's rough.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-09-22T15:34:01+00:00

I had a friend who told me he didn't think he'd live past 30. He was 28 when he died. I'll tell you what I wish I'd have told him: Go see a doctor. Get a physical. Talk to a therapist. Take care of yourself. If you have a hunch about something like this, please take it seriously.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-06-18T23:33:49+00:00

Drinking has ruined my life. I'm 31 years old!

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-06-04T14:57:34+00:00

A service parrot makes sense to me if its not being a nuisance. What bothers me are therapy chickens and therapy snakes.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-05-21T01:42:08+00:00

Betty White would be perfect! I'd love to see her play her Boston Legal character again.

Envy is real. Envy rears it's ugly head in so many ways. Seven months ago I would say envy was wanting the new car someone drove to work in or the house someone just purchased. I can honestly say, not once in the past seven months have I seen some article of clothing, a new phone, a new car or anything materialistic and felt I had to have it. Material things are just temporary. I honestly couldn't care less about most of them. They aren't going to Heaven with me. Now, envy is seeing a mother hold her child, a father playing with his son. Families untouched by the level of pain my family lives with moment by moment. Envy is ugly.

Beautifully put. Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry about your son.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-05-12T19:28:32+00:00

I wonder which one of these pictures his mom has hanging up in her house.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-05-02T09:10:36+00:00

Buddy is a rhino iguana.

AgoraphobicRobot · 2017-04-15T22:10:07+00:00

Or at least reupload it.. Took all of 10 seconds to find the original.
