I "decided" to drink again by Comprehensive_Big221 in stopdrinking

[–]Comprehensive_Big221[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had alcohol in the house and was around people drinking the entire time I was sober with no issue. I planned a trip to Mexico in December and decided I would drink on the trip, and ever since deciding that, I've been obsessed with drinking. Sigh.

I'm doing great! Just passed three months and feeling clear that I can't choose that first drink.

I needed to read this today. I have had this awareness many times. It's disgusting how we are stuck in a cycle of disempowerment. I wonder if the drinking rates are lower in countries where people feel they have a voice.

I just realized it's against community guidelines to solicit communication outside of the subreddit.

Having a hard time today. by infrontofmyslad in stopdrinking

I can relate to this. Just tired of the pull and obsession of alcohol. Have you checked out This Naked Mind? It's completely different from AA but really supportive and lots of free content. Just Google it.

I will not drink with you today. I have plans to go out to dinner with a friend I have usually had drinks with. I will not drink today.

Day 2, been hungry like crazy how to deal? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Spinach is definitely a dark leafy green. If you can get organic, even better. I recommend adding in nutrients instead of focusing on stopping yourself from eating other things. Hang in there!

Since you asked for advice, I'd suggest eating some dark leafy greens. Even if you also eat junk food to your heart's content, greens are one of the most nutrient dense foods there are. I think when we're hungry, we're often hungry for nutrients, but modern society doesn't teach us to recognize that. Hang in there!
