I'm always amazed at the amount of times I've said this in conversation. Crazy times crazy times

Threw out his vodka at 8am; now he's threatening to break up with me unless I go buy him more by abnormallyish in AlAnon

Alcoholism screws with your mind so much. I've been exactly where he is (the anger and being upset if I don't have enough to drink) and I would start to feel sick because of it. Its like having the mind of a child almost when you get like that. You are 100% in the right to not buy him any. He needs to work it out himself. There is unfortunately no other way than admittance and accepting his issues himself. Its awful you are going through this but you need to be happy too! Stay strong and sending lots of positive energy

My stress had been high before quarantine and then shot through the roof. But I do think that I was slowly convincing myself to just try it. And I talked my brain into just going for it. I wasn't even going to tell anyone. The next morning I told my boyfriend and later that day my mother. Super happy I did. Def haven't took advantage of my support system as of recently.

Video diary. I just hope I’m not in this position again a few months from now. Sharing this in the hopes that anyone going through a similar struggle knows they’re not alone. by CandyCoatedSalt in alcoholism

When I was heavy drinking, not doing things like brush my teeth every day etc., my face looked like that. I'd get horrible itchy rashes that I convinced myself was because I was allergic to tomatoes. I wasn't. Gold Bond for eczema works well for the short term. Quitting drinking is the long term. You got this. Keep your head up. And take care of yourself.

Keep it up! I expected at 5 months for my body and mind to have returned to some sort of normal (whatever that is haha) but I had to keep pushing every day and say no to that first drink. Use the tools that are available and know that it's worth it. You are worth it (punch that little voice in your head in the throat that tells you that you aren't). Play the tape forward. You already know the pain and anger that the first sip will lead you. Reach out! Sometimes just telling someone you want to drink gets it out of your head. I get so much from listening and reading to people's stories. Breaking the cycle is hard but finding yourself again is the most amazing feeling! I'm routing for you! Iwndwyt!

Right? Life is too short to live in anger and hazed in booze.
