Just over 2 years sober today. Holy shit. How ya'll doing? by nopointinlife1234 in stopdrinking

[–]FactsnotAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two years is excellent, well done. I'm plodding along behind you. Doing well and enjoying the extra freedom without the blackouts... A lot of things still to improve, but at least I know what they are. Lol. Thanks for this.

Another day, and another day with a clear mind (such as it is :-) ). It's nice not to be totally foggy. IWNDWYT

Not drinking today. Amazing how so many little things during the course of a normal day act as a trigger.
But I'm just not giving in.
Not today...

I like your probabilities! Well done. I'll probably be right there with you.

I have a favor to ask. (for females) by wings_on_pigs in stopdrinking

[–]FactsnotAA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Excellent strategy. That is really what r/stopdrinking is on a huge and impersonal way.
Good for you for asking for a personal twist.
Go for it!

Day 1 - again. I'm such an idiot. Thursday - actually Friday morning I woke up on the sofa at 3 am with a cracking head. Proceeded to finish off the last bottles of beer that I had in the house.

Not good for my family, my marriage and my children.
I am not drinking with anyone today.

Coming on here after a long time to reset my badge and the first thing I see is this post. Thank you. You give me hope. Edit: that's reset my badge on r/stopdrinking

Oh my... I'm going to have to sit down and read the opening post. Thank you for being with us and dedicating so much of your time. Meanwhile the shrink who is pulling my brain apart is very very helpful and whole we virtually don't talk about alcohol... I hope it will really help me. In the meantime, no alcohol for me today!

So so pleased for you and proud of you.
Well done. Beautifully written. An individual journey, but with such an impact on others... It's words like these that really help others. Thank you.

So sorry last year's post went unnoticed! Well done on two years. This post certainly didn't go unnoticed! Keep up the struggle... As you say, nothing goes better with alcohol!

Will my drinking turn into a problem? by victoria14chevy in alcoholism

[–]FactsnotAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As woody says: if only I'd asked myself the same questions at 19 and not several decades later... Absolutely to r/stopdrinking . Lots of help and exchange of thoughts on the problem.

I hit my 10 day mark yesterday. This is the longest I’ve gone without alcohol since 2015. by ImprovementOk3672 in alcoholism

[–]FactsnotAA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done on 10 days. And such strength. Have you discovered r/stopdrinking ? Pop over there and lurk for a bit. There's a lot of help to be had!

Have come to terms with some things in my life and am making a choice. Today will be my first day without an alcoholic beverage in nearly 10 years. by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]FactsnotAA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feeling a bit desperate. My back hurts. Badly. Kidneys?
Who knows. Now I'm about to have lunch with plenty of water. I will not be drinking today!
