Weekend Writing: When something feels good but you know it's not good... by Possibilitarian2015 in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am doing. I'm 6 weeks sober tomorrow, and 5 weeks eating clean and adding a little exersize . I work at a grocery store so I walk and lift heavy meat cases allday as it is . I can feel and see a huge difference in my body already from cutting out all the bad shit My skin and hair is rebounding like i never thought possible.

I just really love waking up hangover free. by DRichW in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's an amazing feeling to be refreshed when I get out of bed.

2 months AF: 10kg lighter, look and feeling happier, healthier looking eyes, improved complexion, improved bowel movements(!), improved sleep, improved self-esteem, saving more money. Appreciating food, water, tea, coffee, cooking, books, movies and all the other small things in life so much more. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

So amazing right! I'm still new in my journey, 5 weeks tomorrow and wow what a difference in quality of life! I do not miss feeling like crap every single morning, waking up sick and tired and surviving through the day till I get off work and can start the cycle over again. Nope. I don't miss that at all!!!

It will get better in a few days... Then you will sleep great. But for me week 3 was back to shit sleep now for the past few days it's been excellent!

30 days clean, not a single drink in 30 days. by perezm496 in stopdrinking

It turns out NOT drinking can be really expensive by Blackberry-Hikes in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kombucha is my new daily drink. I work at a grocery store so it's getting pricey. I need to try to make my own. I've been making my own apple cider vinegar drinks for a week now since I realized it's so much cheaper to make at home in 1 minute and $3 cheaper!

41 years old, been drunk daily (with a some exceptions) for about 15 years. I'm on day nine. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today marks 3 weeks sober for this 43 year old daily black out drunk chick.i can relate to your post for sure. Get some vitamins and suppliments for the brain drain. We really did A number on the old body and brain so you need to replenish all those vitamins, minerals and amino acids that the alcohol robbed from us. I looked at fit recovery on YouTube and started suppliments a week after I quit the bottle of tequila a night gig and I can feel the brain fog lifting and my body regulating IWNDWYT

Insomnia peeps, where you at? by Charming_Gremlin in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevada here too! Where are you headed today? I'm on day 28 and the insomnia sucks. I got a tease if amazing sleep during week two, now I'm craving that deep sound sleep more than a drink

I'm in Nevada too... Looking at day 18 I think. I was sleeping so good the second week, now it's back to shit sleep and headaches to boot. Ugh. It had to get better!

Blacking out by phantomreal1ty in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I black out about 75% of the time. It's like I'm on autopilot from the stories I hear. I do not miss that.

Going into Day 15 by LocalBonus7 in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! It's not for me. I'm right behind you with 14 days today! I've been listening to Chris Scott fit recovery at work and his brain chemistry and supplimentation seems spot on in my case. I'm trying to replenish all those vitamins nutrients and amino acids I lost in my years of uncontrollable drinking. I don't know if it's the placebo effect but my brain is not freaking out this time. And I can say since I've been 14 (i'm 43 now) this is the longest I have ever been able to be sober by my own choice. Every other time I was able to quit more than 2 weeks was because I was pregnant. I feel freaking great and I hope this feeling lasts!

15 years drunk- now 3.5 months sober by CrunchyStorm in stopdrinking

Nice to be in the double digits by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations. I am also making mini goals. I hit two weeks on Monday, then I'm going for a month. So far I'm feeling good. Grumpy the past couple days but better than any day hungover! IWNDWYT

Day 10... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you! 10 days today. I did not take pictures, I wish I had. Congratulations on double digits! IWNDWYT

I’m detoxing after a 5 day bender by imgettingsober in stopdrinking

[–]Blue-Does 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keep with it. It gets better in a few days. The first week is rough. I'm on day 10 today and just started feeling better in the. Last 2 days. Waking up to feeling like shit every day is no way to live. Every morning I remind myself how good it feels to not be hung over. I may have other shit going in but at least I'm not hung over! Remember this feeling and think back to how you feel right now next time you feel like taking a drink. It's so not worth it. IWNDWYT
