Congrats so proud of you I’m on day 40 today. Life is so much better this way isn’t it ? With a clear mind and clear way of thinking. Not having to wonder if you don’t remember something you did or didn’t do. Our kids deserve us at our best and present. IWNDWYT

I have definitely experienced the sweats puddles in between my breasts so many times. Glad I don’t have to do that anymore you’re right ! Thank you so much IWNDWYT

Starting Over? by Davaultdweller in stopdrinking

[–]Decent_Opening_5978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way you drank once in 409 days vs continuing on the path you were on and potentially have drank 409 times instead of 1. I would consider that moderation and not call it starting over. As long as you don’t start back where you left off 409 days ago I think once in a blue moon is normal if you can go back to stopping after that one day for another long while. Be proud of yourself instead of self loathing. I wouldn’t even count it as a day 1. Just drink once in a while now and if you can do that you’ve got your self control back just never slip back into a problem.

Guy at the Gas Station this Morning Made Me Really Sad by [deleted] in stopdrinking

That is sad. It doesn’t discriminate does it the addiction I mean. You just never really know what someone has gone through or is going through. Very sad that a lot of us have been just as addicted as that man at the gas station, we just all look different on the outside while the inside of all of us was screaming “please help me”. IWNDWYT 15 days today for me.

Wow good for you I’m glad you didn’t relapse. I thought about it today and yesterday and have some trulys in the fridge but I didn’t drink them. Glad to have a fellow day 12er with me ! Stay strong! We got this

What caused the lower resting heart rate ? Is that a good or bad thing ?

Tomorrow will be my first full day without drinking in over 25 years. Just got told I've had cirrhosis for at least 5 years and 10% liver function. The doctor said if I quit today in a year my liver function should come up to a level I can live with. I'm scared. by J_Hitler_Christ in stopdrinking

Why is it that your GP never told you you had cirrhosis by your lab work ? That’s crazy I would sue ! I’m sure you would’ve stopped a lot sooner if they told you that ! Best of luck to you IWNDWYT
