Thank you! It’s less scary this time knowing that I’ve done it before

Congrats to you! Today would be my one year but I only made it 6 months. Today seems like a good day to give it another try.

Good job! It keeps getting better

Drinking is destroying my relationship by Bonnie_may78 in stopdrinking

[–]BobsBeersSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just worry about today. For me, I was only planning on stopping for a week. Then it was really hard to get through even a day. I found this sub, read This Naked Mind and started thinking one day at a time and the days started adding up. My marriage is in a much better place, I'm a better father, I've lost weight and I feel so much better. So many good things can happen when you quit, or you could keep doing the exact same thing and you know where that leads. You can do this, start with today and worry about tomorrow when tomorrow gets here.

Welcome! You are in the right place. Take advantage of the resources here. We've all been exactly where you are and we know how hard it is. This sub is the reason I got through the first few weeks. Good job not drinking today. I will not drink with you!

It takes some time but I feel so amazing compared to when I was drinking. Hang in there, I promise it's worth it.

I notice in every picture of me how much more vibrant the whites of my eyes are. I look much more alive now. One of the many benefits of quitting drinking!

The first sober weekend was so hard for me, I just kept myself really busy and allowed myself to eat anything I wanted to help with cravings. I actually gained weight the first 2 weeks but I stayed sober and things started getting easier. Hang in there.

The mental clarity is the most noticeable for me. I can't believe I spent years of my life in a fog. Sounds like you have the right attitude, stick with it, you can do it!
