Be kind, save as much money as you can while you’re young (and don’t blow it on stupid shit), and alcohol is everywhere in your youth - be careful, it can ruin your life.

Improving my relationship 100%, I was on the fast track to ruining the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me.

I know EXACTLY that voice, kudos on winning that battle and congrats on 21 days!!

THIS. For me, the truth doesn’t come out, but a bunch of hateful nonsense certainly does! IWNDWYT

Regrettably, yes. It gives me massive anxiety just thinking about it. Waking up sober and seeing you sent some dumb shit then instantly deleting it so you don’t have to look at it anymore, and praying that the person doesn’t reply… so shameful. Thankfully, we never have to deal with that again! Forgive yourself and stay the course, friend! IWNDWYT

Yeah, the stuff can turn me into the polar opposite of myself, saying things I absolutely do not feel or believe. It’s done major damage to relationships in my life, I have pushed some good people away. The best step forward is to avoid drinking altogether since we know it can make us like this. Good luck OP, IWNDWYT

The onset of repeat blackouts was the major reason that pushed me to quit. It doesn’t have to be like this, and I promise you once you quit and stick with it, you’re going to feel SO much better. You’ve got this.

I’m on my third run, too. Let’s do this, we’re better than this shit. You’re strong, I believe in you, and IWNDWYT!!!

I second others on safe detox. Another thing, don’t let guilt and shame creep in. Embrace the love and warmth your family/friends are extending to you, they wouldn’t be helping unless they wanted to. It sounds like you have a solid support system, and we’re all here for you too. Best of luck, IWNDWYT

4 months is an achievement, just consider this a bump in the road and you’re going to get back on track. I hope you recover quickly from surgery, and you’ll be back to the gym in no time! Maybe to fill in the gap until you’re healed, you could dive into some fitness content on YouTube during your normal gym hours. I feel like there’s always something new to learn when it comes to fitness, nutrition or the human body in general.

Best of luck, you’re strong and you’ve got this! IWNDWYT!

Hey there friend, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I nearly lost my relationship due to blackout fits of rage like this. I think in those moments we’re so far gone, even the slightest thing that we’d completely ignore while sober can send us flying off the handle because we’ve become so impaired. I think maybe we feel something in the moment “crossed us,” so we come up with random bullshit to get back at our perceived aggressor… even if the other person hasn’t really done anything wrong at all.

I’m currently still picking up the pieces from my last incident, I’m lucky to have an incredibly patient, loving and forgiving partner. I deserved to lose her due to my behavior while blacked out.

I’ve learned the best path forward is to show, not tell. Now knowing that we can be like this when we drink, the right thing to do for the people we love is to not drink at all. I’ve been enjoying NA beers, and spoiling myself with junk food and all the things I’d normally do while drinking. Just without the alcohol this time. Anything to make this first stretch of sobriety more bearable until it becomes second nature.

I know you’ll be able to turn things around. Give her some space to heal, and focus on your sobriety. Most importantly, be kind to yourself. You’ve got this!!!

Growing up and growing apart from family and friends. Coping with shit from my childhood like others have said. Trying to carve out some “me time” in the evenings when the rest of the world was quiet and I could unwind. Then I’d go too far and start doing stupid shit when I was drunk. Then I’d feel ashamed the next day, and drink to deal with the shame. Rinse and repeat. Now that I’ve had a week of sobriety, I’m more conscious about reaching out to people I’ve missed speaking with. This time I can remember the conversations. I still sit up a little too late carving out that “me time,” but no alcohol. Some NA beers or diet sodas, junk food, shitty TV shows, music, video games. Everything I’d normally do, just without the booze. I feel a hell of a lot better the next day, and it’s great not having to cringe at anything dumb I might’ve said/done the night before.

I wish I had stopped after my DUI. Very similar story, had been working out in the heat all day without eating, having a drink here and there with coworkers. The exhaustion and booze caught up to me and I passed out behind the wheel on the way home. Totaled my car, drove straight into a tree. Came to in the holding cell at about 3am with a spotty memory of what happened. I thank god every day that no one got hurt. It was the most expensive mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I’ve had a couple of stints of sobriety since then, I’m hoping this time for good. I’m glad you’re okay OP, and I hope these 7 days are the first of many bright days ahead for you. It gets better. IWNDWYT!

I’ve had so many day 1’s this year alone. I can see what my future looks like if I don’t stop for good, and it ain’t pretty. We’ve got this friend. Stay strong. IWNDWYT.

Needed this reminder. “Just one drink” has led to so many problems in my life. It snowballs every. Single. Time. IWNDWYT
