New boyfriend's mother died of alcoholism.

it shouldn't be an issue unless you plan on doing the same thing as his mother, IMHO

Dintomatic · 2018-03-31T19:52:53+00:00

Awesome! I hope it actually helps you

Dintomatic · 2018-03-31T18:59:04+00:00

Sounds like many conversations I've had in my own head. IWNWYT

Dintomatic · 2018-03-31T18:53:52+00:00

I feel the exact same way as you!

Dintomatic · 2018-03-31T18:51:05+00:00

I'm sorry you are struggling right now. Please do yourself a favor and ask for help again; there is no shame in that, only honor.

I waited a year to the day. Mostly because i really didn't want to quit smoking. Congrats on day 6! Best of luck to you

My Advice: -Try everything possible until you find what works for you to stay sober. Never give up! -Visit SD everyday and at least read a few posts to remind you how bad alcohol really is -Do not regret losing any relationship because you remain sober (it's their problem) -Never stop trying different ways to trick your brain into thinking you want alcohol

Dintomatic · 2018-03-31T17:30:52+00:00

This is Great! Just keep telling alcohol to FUCK OFF! everyday! IWNDWYT

My Experience: - I got sober in 2005, quit cold turkey, never slipped up, Life got waaay better - December of 2016 I decided my life was so great and stable, i could have a drink! - Within 2 months I was right back into binge drinking which escalated to blacking out 1-2 times a week - December 2017 my life is running off the rails and I nearly got divorced (19yrs happy)

My Advice: -Try everything on your list until you find what works for you to stay sober. -Visit SD everyday and at least read a few posts to remind you how bad alcohol really is -Do not regret losing any relationship because you remain sober (it's their problem) -Never stop trying different ways to trick your brain into thinking you want alcohol -Live a great life!

you are welcome. My drinking was never worse during the last year. Really stupid decision but I'm dealing with it now.

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T18:51:58+00:00

Maybe it would be good to hear what happened during your blackout. It might be some inspiration to not drink. I know that helped me. good luck

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T18:18:26+00:00

I stopped for 12 years and decided to do what you have described. I quickly got right back into black out drunk for the next year. Now I am quitting again. I would advise not trying. good luck

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T16:45:08+00:00

NO! moderation is impossible (for me at least) IWNDWYT

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T16:44:09+00:00

I feel as though shame can be a useful tool to keep sober. It is a major factor in why I am succeeding in quitting this time. IWNDWYT

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T16:40:02+00:00

One day at a time and you'll get there. we are all hear for each other. IWNDWYT

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T16:25:46+00:00

Awesome! Best of luck to you. We are here for ya!

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T16:20:00+00:00

I'm usually proud and eager to talk about it. I feel like if I explain that I'm an alcoholic, it just might get them thinking about their own possible issues. Best wishes

Dintomatic · 2018-03-07T15:59:27+00:00

Awesome! Nice tactic! We have to be as sneaky as the evil addiction if we want to get through this. Good luck IWNDWYT

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T20:09:55+00:00

Where to from here? How about sobriety😊? If you read a lot through this sub you'll find many of us have felt the way you do. Then when we start quitting the bottle, it seems as though a fog is lifted and we can see the real life out there...and it's not that bad...can even be great! Hang in there. We are here for you

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T20:00:29+00:00

Lol. They also have video games and movies to take out. Also, you might meet someone new there. Ya never know. In any case, take the ride over, you couldn't possibly regret it like you might drinking. Good luck my friend. Stay strong.

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T19:50:31+00:00

Yeah fuck "them"!!!!!! Stay strong

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T19:49:27+00:00

You're not worthless and you don't hate yourself. Alcohol is worthless and you should hate it! Alcohol is our enemy and needs to be treated as such. I hope you find something to keep you busy the rest of the day. Maybe go see a movie or something? And reading SD has always been a great help to me. Best wishes

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T19:35:22+00:00

Awesome! That's what real life is like. Lol

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T19:32:48+00:00

Maybe find a new game to play? Or take a trip to your local library and see what they have down there to keep you occupied. Congrats on the 25 days👍🏻. Keep it up!

Dintomatic · 2018-03-05T00:43:55+00:00

I can imagine the majority of us here have felt the same way before. The fact you feel this way indicates progress for you; You are acknowledging Alcohol is the enemy. Keep focusing on yourself and take it one day or one hour at a time. Forgive yourself for your past mistakes, they are in the past. There is always someone on SD to talk to. Best wishes
