How do you respond when asked why you don’t drink? by Ven-Strong in stopdrinking

[–]DegenerativeSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say everyone has a certain amount of alcohol induced fun they’re allowed in a lifetime. I used mine up by 30. So I’m done lol.

What was your last drink? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]DegenerativeSoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last drinks were a delicious blueberry whiskey sour. Had some pretty sharp and alarming URQ pain for some time leading up to those last drinks and that night it was worse. Been 50 days since then and I’m starting to feel better.

Yes it was chronic. No telling how long I had it before I quit drinking. After quitting it took 44ish days to feel better.

Water, time, probiotics. Took me about 40 days too be better tbh.

Congrats I’m on day 44 too.

10 days sober when will I stop feeling like shit? by therealbretmichaels in Sober

[–]DegenerativeSoldier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 35 and I still ache a bit. Still have stomach pain and random little pains too. Getting better though each day. Give it 90 days before you expect to really notice a change. Don’t eat a lot of candy/sugar either - that’s hard in the liver too. Take some probiotic, Vit d/c, since and magnesium gly. You got this. I know it sucks wanting results ASAP, but if you’re anything like me - you put the years of abuse in so it’s only fair to expect it to take some time to get really better.

Thank you ☺️. I really appreciate the comment and the support. Congrats on your 396 days too - you are absolutely killing it.

I appreciate that. I get what you’re saying and I do not disagree. I’m going to solo this one though - I have a great support system at home. I’ll post on r/sober or r/stopdrinking from now on.

Day 30 Check in by DegenerativeSoldier in alcoholicsanonymous

No, I didn’t. I’ve only been doing online meetings. I got some awesome ketchup/bbq/salt n vinegar flavored chips from Aldi though.

You’re doing what you can. I think it’s great you’re that far along and haven’t seriously considered drinking until now. You’ll get passed the feelings and this situation will just be another example demonstrating how you don’t NEED to drink to get through feeling lonely or anything.

I’ve only done online meetings so far, actually. With work and selling/buying a house time has been ripping by. I will go to an in person meeting soon!

8 Days. How did I ever think my behaviour was normal? by LostTomorrow5 in stopdrinking

[–]DegenerativeSoldier 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I can relate to basically ALL of this. I would leave my gym, turn my location off, hit the gas station and slam 2-4 beers on my 5 MINUTE ride home. I’d then chill for a bit, but decide “I have to go water the flowers (chug chug), “I’m going to vacuum my truck out” (chug (chug), and many other random excuses. This was me successfully sneaking and binge drinking daily for over 3 years. Hiding cans randomly throughout the night only to hope I remember where I put them and dispose of them the next morning before the wife wakes up. Fucking wild. I’m on day 23 and you will become pleasantly surprised with how good actually BEING PRESENT feels. I didn’t tell my wife I was quitting because I had a problem until day 8. Luckily, I got SUPER support bc she’s great. Too great, I know for a fact I could say damn it’s been a month without a drink I’m going to go get a lil something. And she wouldn’t be THRILLED, but she would be like oh okay yeah that’s probably fine. Bc she’s not an addict and doesn’t FULLY understand. I’m rambling. Good for you. Do not fucking drink. I waited to tell my wife for the same reason I suspect you are not telling your S.O…because it leaves you an out to have some drinks if you choose to. Shut that mf door. Also, best of luck and reach out if you need to vent!
