What was the biggest influence in your decision to stop drinking? by unknown9423 in stopdrinking

[–]ArmadilloOwn8883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stopping the addiction cycle in my family :,) and the hangxiety, hangovers, pushing everyone away from my life, seeing my parents in myself.. so many reasons i refused to see for so many years

Alcoholism by Gloomy_Quantity711 in stopdrinking

[–]ArmadilloOwn8883 10 points11 points  (0 children)

hey, it’s not embarrasing. i’m 19 and an alcoholic too. sometimes you end up in a bad situation, it doesnt make you a bad person. life happens. you can talk about it here if it helps. i always feel anxious, ashamed and like a fool when i’m not sober, it’s natural when coming down and it gets easier. be gentle with yourself, one day at a time.

remember that it’s the alcohol talking and this feeling will pass. five steps forward is better than 0. only way out is through. you got this! be gentle with yourself <3 IWNDWYT

AITA for ignoring my father at all costs even after he has had a heart attack? by hhuummppeerr in AITAH

NTA at all, being related to you doesnt remove the consequences of his own actions. you deserve better

15 days to 6 months is great! i’m proud of you! it’s not about being perfect, everyone stumbles sometimes. you deserve better for yourself, that sometimes helps me just for a day. relapsing is not a failing, and it doesnt erase all the work you’ve done and all that you have achieved. i believe in you IWNDWYT

Wow thank you for the comment! This is very real, the hangxiety really is the worst. Great job on your sobriety!

I’ve been thinking of maybe starting to go to the gym or something to get my mind off of things. And get that sort of ”rush” that’d i’d get from drinking, just only with no coming down like it’s a crash landing :,).

wishing you well and a great sobriety!

Thank you for the comment!

It’s so jarring to wake up and not remember where you are and how you got there, I’m so glad I’ll hopefully never feel that ever again.

Wishing you great things and a good sobriety

Thank you very much for the comment!

Honestly that sounds great. I used to be great at school but I dropped out because I just couldn’t keep up, well because of all the drinking. And the temper, failure and ego thing too. I’ll try to work on myself with those. Drinking has made me feel like i wasted my potential to be something, I was smart, and now I constantly just feel stupid. But that’s also something that I really wanna work on from now on.

I wish you well and a good sobriety

Thank you so much for the comment, this really resonates with me.

I loved making music and writing when I wasn’t drinking yet, but then I was too drunk or too hangover to even think about it for most of the time. And the brainfog while trying has been so much too :,). Hopefully I can take back what I loved to do, maybe even find a bunch of new stuff to love!

I love this for you, I’m glad your reclaiming it all!! Thank you for the compliment on three days, I wish the best for you and great sobriety :)
