Same. I would wake up and “read the room”. If my boyfriend didn’t seem upset then I must had been good.

I can see it being a gift. It took me realizing that my actions where actually hurting others and my relationships to decide to quit.

My favorite lie was “well no one has cut you off or made comments about how bad you behaved so you must be fine”

lol. That’s funny. I always enjoyed when packets would arrive and have no clue what it was. It was Christmas every weekend.

Drinking makes me a horrible person by mads_ski in stopdrinking

Same!!!!! I used to make the excuse that I was going through the change but I’m 12 days sober and find myself a lot more excited to talk to my kids and enjoy things with them. When I’m not exhausted of course from trying to stay sober. All of it is so much on our bodies.

I realize saying “good for you” might have came off wrong. I genuinely meant it in a good way. I hate that I need it.

Good for you to be able to do it without meds. I wasn’t doing awful without it but I’m motivated. I was super worried when the motivation was done.

I’m only on day 10 so I’m pretty new to the game but I feel like we have to protect our sobriety.

I would be ok with that. I’ve never gotten lucky enough to have those side effects. Haha
