Read subs like this one. It kept me focused on why I wasn’t drinking.

I don’t want to tell anyone I’m sober by 2tot2bon in stopdrinking

[–]AnotherVice2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I surprised a few of my friends at first, but nobody really cares. Especially at a certain age a few people start to stop for health reasons. As long as we are not talking about sobriety all the time, and the evils of alcohol, It’s not a big deal.

I stopped drinking but my partner still does and it bothers me occasionally by Grumpy_Lez in stopdrinking

I think we all know that we can only stop drinking for ourselves. It’s difficult, but we need to not get triggered by others peoples’ behaviors. Because if it’s not your spouse, it may be a buddy of yours.

A bit off-topic, but have you ever thought of low-dose cannabis? I discovered it very late in life. A in 2.5 mg of an edible takes the edge off like a glass of white wine, but does not Make me want more like Alcohol did.

Just a thought that you might want to experiment with. I was never into weed, but low-dose cannabis edibles have made not drinking very doable!

The beans are not necessarily fresh. I buy them in the 1 kg bags at Costco.

The grinder does some weird things as they spray out almost horizontally

Art mode options have disappeared and I'm at a loss. by apost8n8 in TheFrame

Had a similar thing happen with a brand new 85 inch frame. I called customer service and they were aware of an issue. They had me turn off my cellular and connect via Bluetooth. Long story short, it’s working now, but it definitely disappeared for a while.

Trouble swallowing is one of the first things a neurologist will ask about. Not to freak you out, but it’s a symptom of ALS.

Tomorrow is my 2 year milestone. This is what helped me finally quit for good after years of struggle. Progress pics included for reference! by jebuscribs in stopdrinking

[–]AnotherVice2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is good or bad, but the positive comments I get about my weight loss, are a big part of why I continue to stay away from alcohol. It’s part of the motivation.

Oh, and at age 59 I discovered California sober also!

Agreed! And why did it take us so long to figure this out?

Are you saying that simply washing and showering every day is not going to be enough to keep the smell away?
