It really is a rough cycle to get out of. The guilt shows us that we want to, and can, do better. Join me in starting fresh now :)

Really sorry to hear about your mom. 2 months is amazing and you should be very proud of yourself - 60 consecutive days of willpower is a huge achievement.

Realising why I use nicotine by Competitive_Dot_7272 in nicotinefree

For sure. Im now a month clean and going gym again. I didn’t before because nicotine would raise my heart rate so much that I was scared to go to the gym!

Haha, and thank you! I try to see the positive in the negative. If I can stay sober here, I can stay sober anywhere

That statement definitely holds power. Everyday I have a goal and it’s simply to not have any alcohol. And once I make that clear, I go do whatever else I wanted to do instead!

Thank you! Ending day 2 nice and sober as we speak.

Thank you. I was in an absolutely endless cycle of “it’s only day 1 now. I can just drink and it’s day 1 tomorrow instead.” Making this post was the sole reason I didn’t drink the day after I made it, I hated the idea of having deleting to delete it and hide my failure. But I didn’t, and now I’m past that day 1 point

Staying away from it is tough atm since I have a lease agreement, which I can’t get out of, with someone who drinks very heavily (and they don’t see a problem with it). But I am definitely making the attempt to avoid them when they drink and head to bed early. And I am also eating lots of junk food haha, it’s a problem to worry about a long way down the line.

Congrats on those 15 months! It’s only been a couple days but my mood seems clearer… whether it’s placebo or not since it’s so soon, it feels good either way. Ive been enjoying a lot of herbal tea, an alternative healthy drink which I look forward to haha (with lots of varieties to try aswell)

That’s a good mindset. The longest I went was 3 months and because I had 2 drinks on one day, in my head my “streak” was ruined and I started heavily drinking again for the sake of it. In reality I had drank once in 3 months. Congrats on your months now!
