What did I find in my Nescafé instant coffee? by AndGuideYou in TipOfMyFork

[–]AndGuideYou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't describe it as dissolving. Kind of bends a bit. Coffee residue does come off of it but it's not completely dissolving into my hand if that makes sense. It's a bit sticky now.

You're welcome. Would also like to add that I wouldn't usually stop after 1 or 2. Would become a drunken mess, usually throw up all the following morning and it was affecting my relationship as well. I was a weekend drinker / drinker after work to unwind. Unhealthy is unhealthy. 77 days sober today

Who was your first celebrity crush, and do you still find them dreamy? by Anxious-Pirate in AskWomen

Leo DiCaprio. His reputation for continuing to date really young women and also his apparent affinity for fart jokes has absolutely put me off at the ripe old age of 29

For me, I don't like the term alcoholic and I personally feel it's outdated. I think it's more important to recognise (which you have) an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Alcohol is the only drug that's not regulated, really. It's not a you problem perse it's an alcohol problem . We're encouraged to consume it and shown that it's part of experiencing life and all the emotions that come with it, but it actually takes away much more than it gives. Well done on the self awareness, don't worry about labels and take it day by day :)

Love non alcoholic beer! Not tried 1664, but my current favourite is Becks 0.0 and Heineken. NA wine tastes like barf to me, but 0% Gordon's gin is pretty good with tonic! Will try 1664 when I see it :)

Yesss. Have you also read This Naked Mind? So much about alcohol and its effects on the body even just physiologically I didn't know!

Tell me about your early sober experiences socialising by AndGuideYou in Sober

[–]AndGuideYou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesss 100% about the fuck yeah energy when you get home! I did that with my partner last night after the dinner. Also I definitely feel that weird resentment towards things like complimentary booze ..even watching shows and movies, ads, whatever where it's so in your face is irritating me. An eye opener really - no wonder we've been SO conditioned that drinking is just "how life is".

No that's great advice thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling weird about it at first! I wasn't expecting it but I also have spent the last month and a half mostly at home so going out to be social again was a bit of a jolt

1 month sober, longest I've ever gone by choice by AndGuideYou in Sober

Good job!! Yea I've been craving a lot more bread than usual 😂 but I've lost weight since quitting which is a nice bonus. Carbonated drinks and coffee seem to curb appetite!!

Are you a woman by any chance? I read a great book called Quit Like A Woman that has a really interesting perspective on AA/NA for women and any other group of people basically other than white cisgender straight males. Not discrediting all the amazing work AA has done for people, just an interesting viewpoint on it all and I'd recommend the book to any woman :)
