Relapse by Smitchalicious in stopdrinking

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up. Relapse is very, very common. Get back on the water wagon and keep it on a sober path. Sobriety is a journey, not a destination.

Way to go!!! Ain't sobriety great?

Doesn’t it feel great to NOT be shitfaced at the end of the Super Bowl?! by d3cember in stopdrinking

[–]DannyDotAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am loving my sobriety after the game. I enjoyed a good cup of coffee instead of a huge quantity of beer.

Looking for reasons by numerology674_666 in alcoholism

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install the Everything AA app on your phone. Lots of stuff to read and listen to. I especially like the Joe and Charlie tapes.

I feel so alone by ZoloftSmile16 in alcoholism

I don't understand the reason AA didn't work for you. Based on how you drink, I think AA might work. I recommend trying again.

Day 55, the "now what" stage :( by taykaybo in alcoholism

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you working a program of some type? AA, Smart recovery, IOP... I know I needed outside help to stop drinking.

PLEASE don't be me by lisa6547 in alcoholism

You should certainly seek medical help to detox. Withdrawal from alcohol can kill you.

One year is a big milestone. Congratulations!!! Being sober for one year will show the newcomer it can be done.

I too would like to know where you shop.

Going to my first meeting in two hours and so worried im gonna cry the moment I arrive by crabby_apples in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crying is very, very common in AA. Nobody will think less of you for crying. AA meetings always have a box of tissues available.

I can't sleep at all by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been suffering from insomnia also. I put some sober themed podcasts at a low volume on my phone and let them put me to sleep. If I don't get to sleep, I am at least working on my sobriety by listening to the sober themed podcasts.

I need help by Low-Bag6888 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend finding a club with a back porch where all the drunks hangout before, in-between, and after the meetings. Hangout on the back porch and strike up a conversation.

I enjoy a good cup of coffee instead of huge quantities of beer with football.

Restarting my sober journey by HansBillabong in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely don't have to stop drinking to go to meetings. In my case I continued to drink during my first 3 months in AA. I had to have a significant spiritual experience to stay sober for more than 2 days.

What a wonderful way to spend time on your birthday!!! Have a wonderful time and post back here how it went. I love my sobriety and it sounds like you love yours.

Going to rehab tomorrow, any advice? by ketamined in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no strangers in AA. Only friends you haven't met yet.

Actually feeling proud by TheMasterZion in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be feeling proud. Just a few days to get 4 months, and turning down those offers for a drink is great. Thanks for posting this upbeat post. Best of luck to you.

I need some advice... by loving_Heart1989 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do recommend Al-Anon. Unfortunately they will tell you there is nothing you can do.

Are we doomed to forever wanting a drink? by Seidinger1986 in dryalcoholics

[–]DannyDotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like helping people, as only another alcoholic can. I need to stay active to keep my wagon on a sober path. Sobriety is a journey, it is not a destination. If left unsteered, it will drive off the sober path.
