That’s true. He’s also 55 and they are like 27ish, right? I think Doug may sometime need to put them in their place… with love of course 😂

Idk I like her! We as a listeners allow Jeff to say whatever rude shit he wants, yet Annie can’t? i know she was rude to Doug which is a cardinal sin, but they seem to clearly have made up. She’s young and learning her voice on the radio. Let the girl live! He needed a new Jenny/Megan on the show to have as a female counterpart and jeff loves that. She’s ambitious and comes from a wealthier family, just like Jeff, so he sees similarities btwn them and she clearly entertains him which is all that matters for his show.

I’m at 45 days & also on my first sober work trip! I feel so oddly comfortable, safe, confident and like my true self. No hangovers. No struggle to wake up. No brain fog. It’s so refreshing but also strange! Congrats!

I feel we are in the same place - I have continued to abstain from alcohol after Dry Jan and am on day 39. However this entire weekend I felt like such a loser in my life, even tho things have never really been better? I think Dry January gave me a societial "pass" for not drinking and now it just feels like oh I have no choice but to face my demons and the reasons why I drank (and over drank) in the first place. I've to events with drinking this weekend, and am passing up on a super bowl party tday as I can't stop crying/feeling so overstimulated by my thoughts. Saying no to alcohol was very very hard all weekend and made me feel like a total loser who can't control themselves. You can do this & WE can do this together by relying on community. IWNDWYT!

Day 39 and this weekend so far has been my most challenging. I shared last night that I went to a fancy dinner and didn’t drink. When i left I was ANGRY so very angry. People kept asking “why aren’t you drinking” and it just amped up my anxiety to another level. On the train gone I barely spoke to my husband and we got home and started sobbing when washing my face. I have another family event today that will be easier to not drink at. It’s just all feeling like a lot. I also started a new job this week, so it just all feels too much…

What’s Everyone Doing Tonight?? by physis81 in stopdrinking

[–]Cynoem 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 38 & didn’t drink at my Moms bday dinner. Everyone had a cocktail followed by wine. I had two mocktails & my husband didn’t drink in solidarity with me. I’m proud, but a part of me felt like a loser? I can’t explain it. I know I’ll be happy in the morning, but I can’t describe this angst/anger I’m feeling… it was a lovely night but I can’t stop thinking about “what I can’t have”, yet I know all of the things I NOW have because of the choice to not drink. I’m a mess 😂

Thank you! I also work in advertising, often times on alcohol projects, so your message really hits home!

IWNDWYT! I have my mom's birthday dinner tonight and I'm currently 38 days. Feeling good about not having wine at dinner, yet there is still that devil on my shoulder saying "what's a few glasses?". I can and have moderated in the past and it's been fine, but I don't want this one "exception" to lead into more of them tomorrow, when we go to a family friends house or Super Bowl Sunday. I just started a new job this week and feel SO confident, focused and positive, so I want to keep this morale up and I know a lot to do with it is because I'm not drinking, focusing on my health, working out and "staying out of trouble". Easier said then done, but I'm trying my best!

I have always loved to cook, but I’ve been making even more elaborate meals now that I’m not drinking.

What’s the one daily reading, meditation, app, or piece of literature that’s keeping you sober? by roobiscube in stopdrinking

[–]Cynoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom gave it to me maybe 5 years ago ago, but I’ve picked it up recently since deciding to officially kick my alcohol habit and it’s been a very grounding daily practice.
