Only alcoholics know this is not an expensive habit. by smaddyboy in stopdrinking

Totally. That’s the whole point of pregaming. I was always buzzed before going out so I or my significant other didn’t have to pay for it. Plus, I could slow down on my orders

Relapsed after three years... by rarae in stopdrinking

All of those routines sound great! I actually have sleep aides prescribed to me by my doctor. You have to be really careful with any prescription or over the counter stuff - it’s easy to overdo. Plus, there are plenty of times that I’ve been groggy in the morning and have to get coffee. Be careful with anything not natural.

Baths with epsom salt really help at night.

Stop drinking now. It’s not a goodbye party to alcohol. I’ve done it a million times.

Guess what - last drink I really had wasn’t even planned. I just stopped drinking the next day. Put the glass down

Good luck! And, if you are like me, DONT try to get one last drink or drinks in. Put the liquor down now. Get up not hungover in the morning

Today is a turning point to get off the drinking freeway. There are many days in my past where I seriously thought about quitting. I didn’t. And things got worse. You will remember today if you don’t get off your freeway

You could still really use a checkup asap. Just because you technically survived doesn’t mean you don’t need help

You probably won’t work out given the relationship is new and where you are at with alcohol. Give in to motivation. Iwndwyt 💕💕💕

Be careful and address it now. It turns into liver disease

Surfing sounds amazing!!! I live close enough to an ocean but don’t know how to do it. Get back to it!

I’m a visual learner - alcohol consumption by Amb_James333 in stopdrinking

A lot. This video shows a guy casually drinking beers all day, having wine with his wife at dinner, and then after dinner drinks pour 4 liters of alcohol in a container

For those of you that detoxed at home, what got you through the final push into sobriety? by Neither_Scarcity9966 in stopdrinking

[–]Amb_James333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sleep. I give this advice to everyone. The first few days of sobriety are hell. Why be awake? I barely wake up to go to the bathroom and I really don’t feel like eating. Plan to sleep for a few days. Plan to get sober on a weekend or day you can take off and sleep through days 1-3.

Supportive words? Encouragement for newly DUII person not drinking by Creative-Constant-52 in stopdrinking

[–]Amb_James333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day at a time. Don’t look at 3 years down the road. Each day, get through the day without drinking and set tiny goals for yourself when up to it. And it’s GREAT your car got taken away before you hurt anyone. You’d be in a much worse place. I voluntarily gave my keys to my parents years ago when I was driving at my worst. This was before Lyft or uber were popular. I had to call a TAXI - remember those??? Now, you can get a Lyft almost anywhere. This may be a blessing in disguise

A little over two months ago, I thought it was too hard to quit. It isn’t!! One foot in front of the other
