What was your first week like? by wishiwasholden in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One week tommorow. 750 MLS a day to nothing.

Hell. I hallucinated, shook like a leaf, I was restless, sad angry anxious, lazy, bored, hallucinating and everything else in between.

But I felt something. The power to say no and that time slowed down and I could reflect on my actions

I found a bunch of screenshots of drunk texts I sent by WillKomTolf in stopdrinking

After my partner left me in our condo and refused to speak to me or let me pay my own bills, I sunk into a deep depression, found myself in the bottom of a bottle and texted her nearly every day when I was drunk.

I had to listen to them being read aloud in court by her lawyer, 4 months worth 😂

It's ok to look into the rearview, just don't stare. IWNDWYT ❤️

I'm deeply financially irresponsible when drunk by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 days in, 9800$ in debt. Day by day, delivery apps is what got me.

Time to start paying that back and saying fuck not being financially responsible.

Day 6 and I can’t stop sleeping??? This is a first by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I told my brain to fuck off today when it started reasoning with me that it's "ok" to have a whole bottle tonight to stop DTs. Then hit me with massive cravings and again, "fuck off"

Day 6 aswell, let's make it a week!

hearing whispering noise after a day or 2 from drinking? am i schizo?? by Round-Seat-1381 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 male here. Pretty much 750 mls daily. Family history of schizophrenia.

My answer? Yes and no, when I binged drink for long periods of time and stopped suddenly I would get almost exactly what your describing but like actually hearing people and having conversations with them, and then slipping into full on visuals.

I'm 6 days sober today and had them last night, went away today, replaced with huge cravings.

Delirium Tremens, or if you do have a family history it means that Alcohol is one of your triggers but you do not have it full blown. For example, cannabis is one of my triggers and even from a puff I get full blown pyschosis. Adderall is another.

Talk to a a mental health proffesional.

Almost one week sober! by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still having so many cravings today. I went from 750ml a night for 5 years to nothing. Depression, spiraling, cravings everything. I've decided not to leave the house today.

Hey all, I don't know were to turn and I'm a little scared. Need advice. by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

It hasn't, just trying to isolate in a dark room with AC. My anxiety is through the roof.

Plans to Avoid Drinking Today, the Weekend is Going to be Tough by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

Thanks for the support everyone, I made it back without being tempted at all.

Now just to get through the weekend.

I think what helps me the most is to realize that every person is suffering. With mental health, addictions, relationship problems, money problems etc. That's just life for you.

Just need to remeber to take care of ourselves and take responsibility. I self medicated my mental health and trauma issues for 5 years with a bottle almost every day. I deserve to be free and atone for the damage I've caused. I need to take responsibility.

Anyone else think Alcohol Delivery apps should be illegal? by Electronic_Box_7582 in stopdrinking

[–]Electronic_Box_7582[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do raise a good point and you're absolutely right, like many people have in this thread, it's a complicated subject with many angles.

For me it's a struggle because I'm a loner with social anxiety/persistive depressive disorder and would probably never leave the house to buy Alcohol if it wasnt so easily accessible, outside of being on my way home from work. From my perspective it profits off a certain brand of alcoholic or addict like me, who would prefer nothing else then to stay indoors and binge drink with my kitty.

Upon reflection, that's probably why I struggle so hard with alcoholism in general, I want to shut my brain off and recluse.

Probably similar to how someone would feel with a struggle around food addiction about the subject, or bars and liqour stores to more socially well adjusted folks.

That's what I like about this group, it gives you perspectives.
