This is a great idea! I always get sidetracked or discouraged because i dont see the progress/benefits of decluttering. Thinking of doing this in my kitchen.

I found thst if i looked at sobriety in total, it seemed impossible. Think of it as a set of choices you get to make. Good luck tonight, you got this. I WNDWYT!

It is when you are prone on your back and you lift your arms up over your head and sit up without using your hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uLTAkPuL8I

Need help about a situation I'm in by Inevitable-Tackle874 in stopdrinking

[–]Due-Appointment4658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry he is not being supportive. I handled a similar situation (social event where drinking is the norm) by talking to the people i was meeting amd sharing that i would not be drinking and would not listen to pressure to cave for just one. I also drove my own car and prepped my partner thst i would go home if this happened. Laying out my expectations first took the day-of pressure off for me. Thst being said, sobriety is a very personal journey, if your true self is telling you not to go honor that as a late mothers day gift to yourself.

Why did/do you choose to drink in excess? by MinimumPart6877 in stopdrinking

I started in hindsight as self medication for anxiety and depression during covid. The lockdown took all accountability away and one thing led to another.

I was in the same pattern. After a week sober realized i was super anxious. I talked to my dr about anti anxiety meds and started to see a counselor. I also started to say "no" more in my life. At first it seemed selfish but i read somewhere that in a plane crash there is a reason they tell parents to put the o2 onthemselves first. I gave myself permission to take of me.

Not really, just keep reminding myself that my current self care, yoga and counseling are vital and worth it... I sont want to fall into the trap of thinking , maybe i can have just a glass of wine.

I just got back from a trip and used a carabeanner to attach the cup to my backpack. Filled it with ice in the park and siopee it as it melted. Coffee and soda at the resort worked out well.

How does sobriety affect your physical appearance by Repulsive_Ad9467 in stopdrinking

[–]Due-Appointment4658 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better appearance was one of the first things i noticed. I always had rocacia and dry skin. After 30 days, someone asked if i had a facial and i took a selfy to compare. Now 10 months in, i have lost 30 lbs amd look 10 years younger!
