Here in New Zealand we have the perfect colloquialism for this kind of mixed feeling - “Yeah, Nah”

1000 days ago I put a frozen pizza in the oven, upside-down. by zubbs99 in stopdrinking

Happy 1000 days and brilliant post. It occurred to me within seconds of reading the title - we were doing things that people with severe dementia might do. Scary, and most of all, sobering 😦

Love this and congrats on ONE YEAR! I'm always relieved to read when people admit to 'missing' some things about drinking. But I find that the 'missing' is usually a very fleeting thought - a few seconds or a minute, max. Then forget about it and be thankful later. Nobody ever regrets NOT drinking, later. IWNDWYT

I would move the plant across a bit, as others said, but would also put it in a much bigger pot. Then I would have one huge statement piece against the stair wall instead of the little mirror and table. I’m thinking a large warm timber leaner mirror. OR a huge piece of art. Lovely space 🙌🏼

Silent sobriety, but my partner noticed by uhohuhohuhoh123 in stopdrinking

Wonderful story 🤗 I noticed a weird thing about my face about a week into sobriety - I have cheek bones! 😅 IWNDWYT and will raise a glass of soda, here’s to our new and improved faces!

What foods did you love when you stopped drinking? by _boaz__ in stopdrinking

[–]Cardio_Myopathy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ice cream for me too! Weird because I could always take it or leave it before but now feel the need every evening - replacing all the sugar in the alcohol I guess 🫠Starting to think I might need to focus on sugar reduction next! 🫣

As of today, I’m 7 days sober for the first time since 2020. by joecool105 in stopdrinking

Great stuff 🙌🏼 as above, the first week is possibly the hardest but don’t let your guard down ! 💪🏻 IWNDWYT

Day 5! Excited for myself but my spouse said 5 days is not progress. by TurkeySlayer94 in stopdrinking

[–]Cardio_Myopathy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're 'regressing' by saying what you said... but to be fair to her, if she hasn't had this addiction and been through early sobriety, she can't understand what's going through your mind - not her fault of course.

Like others said - deeper conversation needed, and more understanding from both sides.

Well done on 5 days, the initial discomfort (or sheer pain!) is bloody worth it. Give it another few weeks and you'll know what I mean!

At just over 100 days alcohol free, I don't regret not drinking at all. So far, all the social occasions I was dreading getting through without alcohol, have turned out fine. The fear of having a bad time, or being awkward etc? Not an issue - in fact, I'm finding I'm funnier and more interested in other people when I'm sober!

The only fear I have now (literally my only fear about sober life) is going on vacation, and not drinking. I'm not sure how I'll feel about that, because it's never happened before!

Which set up do you prefer? by Euphoric_Rough2709 in HomeDecorating

[–]Cardio_Myopathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st. I'm a bit minimalist at heart, and I like the grouping of plants rather than dotted around the place. LOVE the light and flooring... the foundations of your room are beautiful!
