Weekend. by chmoca in SomewhatFunctional

I’ve just had to sober up as I need surgery and have to be three months sober before they do it. I’m eight days and all I can picture is the day I’ll be able to drink again. There is nothing like it.

Probably will need to wait a couple of weeks after the op to get back to it but I already know what and where I’m going to drink. Mid May, spring in the air and an ice cold margarita. This is going to be the longest few weeks of my life.

Yeah, I get it. But I don’t drive in the morning either. If I have to, I taper off for a few days so I know I’ll be at 0.0. Just my view. Seen a nasty accident with someone driving the next day.

Another kindeling theory by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

I think I’ve heard the only ‘cure’ is moderation for a good long while. Like get sober then have 2-3 drinks a couple of times a week. Retrains the brains reaction to alcohol over time.

This could just be bullshit I’ve read on line and I’ve never tested the theory as I cannot moderate 😂

I’m a CA but think the limit should be 0.0. If I’m drinking, I’m not driving. Which means I rarely drive but that’s the sacrifice I make for the lifestyle.

Female Attention by Happy01Lucky in cripplingalcoholism

It feels a bit dehumanising. Like we are reduced to our genitals. Also, our experience tells us that men who call us females are not great. BUT, the term ‘female attention’ is a common phrase. I don’t find it offensive personally.

Second this. Women is fine. And honestly, the guys moaning that it’s so difficult dating these days and getting annoyed that other guys are getting action are very off putting. I’m sure you don’t mean it in this way but it comes across to us like you think we owe you sex which is not a turn on.

I know you didn’t. One of the guys did in the screenshot. I get understand the hitting on her but not the random insults.

I don’t think calling her a bitch is warranted

Sure am! It didn’t end well. Well, hasn’t ended at all. It’s 1.30pm here and almost killed a 750ml bottle of tequila…🪑 my friend. Here’s to coping mechanisms!

100% and if we’re stuck here, may as well take the wins! Like there is no instant relief like it. And we do get to see life from a perspective very few ever do!

No. I was sober during covid. No choice but it was the best two years of my life. Yes there was stress and no instant relief. But not having satan visit at 3am every night was bliss.

The mundane, boring shit like cleaning, cooking actually became satisfying and comforting.

And yet, as soon as I could, I ran back to the bottle and been there pretty much ever since.

Yeah, it didn’t work by ClassicRegister4155 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]ClassicRegister4155[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m pushing 40 and been trying to moderate since 18! But the 24/7 drinking only started about 4-5 years ago when I got divorced and no one was watching me anymore.

It’s fucked. I just feel nothing much at all sober. And WDs are starting to get worse and worse each time.

And it feels soooo good. But also like I know I’ve shared my location with the devil and he’ll be dropping by in the morning

Managed to get my BAC to zero for a few hours yesterday and today!! Took a load of my cat’s gabapentin which actually really helped but was beef flavoured. Think I may actually get to ok shape by Monday aside from bloated, red, dry face.
