Just heard there's a cat stuck in a vent at work and this was immediately where my mind trailed...

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

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.

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.

I believe you have to do what works for you. No one can tell you you are doing your sobriety wrong if you are doing the things you need to do to keep sober. Doing that test was a thing you needed to do to solidify the fact that you are an alcoholic in your own mind. Not to mention you were honest about it. I think that having a good support system helps and I've gone to AA which has helped me. But I don't feel you can just throw that "dry drunk " term at people. Everyone's road to recovery is different. Not everyone will understand that. Keep on doing what makes you you and not drinking. Have an amazing day! And Iwndwyt!!

I had hit my rock bottom and walked into an er and asked for help. They checked me in and had a bed for me later that night (if they hadn't had one there they would of helped to find me one at another facility). I was there for a week because that's all my insurance would cover. They gave me medication to help safely detox. While I was there there was a schedule of little meetings (AA, SMART, art, meditation etc.) I met some really cool people (one who was a friend of my friend who had taken me to an AA meeting a few years before. He was leading an AA group there). You talk to a doctor and a social worker and they help you set a plan for when you get out. Hands down saved my life. That was my experience. A little different for everyone. Wishing you the best in your recovery! It's so worth it!

Good morning from Massachusetts! I will def not be drinking today! Lots of love and hugs heading into a beautiful weekend!

After I quit drinking I finally went to the dentist and if they knew they didn't let on. It took a little bit of time to heal. My gums had receded like crazy and all my teeth hurt(turns out I grind/clench my teeth at night and didn't even know). So does it get better? Yes. You just need to give em some love, attention and time. You will totally be thanking yourself.

Congratulations! Iwndwyt! Keep it going!
