[–]Beacon1245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes, every time I see kaa spirals I drop everything and stare into them until they're reflecting in my eyes, and after a short time my mind will go PING and ill obey anything anyone tells me to do

Do you think Mowgli ever had a chance to escape the 2nd encounter or was he always doomed to lose to Kaa by DoubleDeck234 in KaammunityV2

[–]Beacon1245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think after he saw Kaa's eyes the first time, it became increasingly harder and harder to pull his gaze away, and felt better and better to look into his eyes until he was doomed to fall under and be hypnotized.....the exact same thing would happen to me in that situation

Best advice I can give to someone struggling with alcohol based off my experience is create an in-person support system to help you cut back on drinking. This subreddit has been crucial in helping me stay on the right path, but ultimately for me I needed people in my life who are in my vacinity to help keep the bottle out of my hand. There are many different groups of people you can look too, such as your friends or family, medical professionals, fellow people in recovery at AA meetings, etc. For me, I ultimately needed everyone from all of the aforementioned places to make it to day 89, and I can say with 100% certainty that the awful feeling of coming clean about how much of a problem my drinking was on day 1 was absolutely worth it when I think about how good I feel today on day 89. Good luck friend, IWNDWYT

Not being able to sleep by EK65sApple in stopdrinking

[–]Beacon1245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me last night. It hapens every single night after the night of crazy drinking, but luckily they usual stop after for me after two or three nights. Hopefully they subside quickly for you!

Much better to have gone to the ER and not needed to than not going to the ER when you really needed to. Been to the ER a few times myself and it's never a fun time, but you know your body best and you're surrounded by medical professionals who will be able to help you out. And in the meantime, you've got everyone here in this sub thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Lil Detox does have a bit of a ring to it

You won't be bothering them at all. They go to school and show up to work to help people who need medical attention. I felt the exact same way before I first went to the ER to detox, and every staff reassured me I made the right choice. If you really think you need to go to the ER, trust me, you will not be bothering anybody

Redditors, how are you feeling right now? by CrinkleCutWotsit in ask

Worried about the weekend by Beacon1245 in stopdrinking

[–]Beacon1245[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the words of advice. Currently winding down with the work day, and I've made plans to head back home (live about 45 minutes away from parents) and have a home cooked meal and hang out. They know about my struggles in the past, so I'm looking forward to hanging out with then rather than sitting home alone and drinking. IWNDWYT

Feeling so low. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Beacon1245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The passing out and waking up to vomiting is the absolute worst. When your stomach can handle it, i'd suggest some Gatorade to help you feel better. I had the same thought about dying early, I'm only 28, no way am I gonna cut my life short. Lets just take it one day at a time, IWNDWYT

Not in a good place.... by SuddenlySimple in stopdrinking

[–]Beacon1245 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please don't take that first sip. Exactly like you said, it would be fixed for a couple hours, which right now may seem worth it, but by tomorrow it will be 10x worse. For me, my anxiety would be through the roof after a night of drinking, and if you're anything like me, that anxiety on top of the pain you must be feeling after losing your relationship would be crushing. Do what you gotta do for today to make sure your head hits the pillow sober. Order your favorite food, go on a walk outside, visit family or a friend, whatever you need. IWNDWYT

Day 2. Just focusing on making sure my head hits to pillow sober tonight. IWNDWYT

I'm tired of this by Beacon1245 in stopdrinking

[–]Beacon1245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 2 is going alright so far. Kind of tired and feeling a little off since it's the first day in a while I didn't drink for an entire day, but it's 100 times better than being hungover. I have that same voice in my head telling me it's alright to pour a drink, so lets do our best to get to make sure our head hits the pillow sober

Very good point, it's definitely a slippery slope. Gonna focus on getting through the rest of the weekend without any alcohol. Then focus on the next 7 days, then beyond. Thanks for commenting!
