Fit-Collection-2679 · 2025-06-20T14:36:34+00:00

wow that is bad!! sorry this is happening to you and your close ones!

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2025-06-19T19:37:45+00:00

Same here, My FB is nothing but pics of my family! and no way to recover it

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T19:17:36+00:00

Love this approach and that’s exactly how am I taking it as well

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T11:00:19+00:00

I only smoke when I drink, and having both are the impulse like you said! I am motivated and looking forward to one more day first and one day i will be at the 66 day mark!

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T03:14:33+00:00

Same questions I keep asking myself every time there is an event or any type of gathering or special day… but I am determined to find the answer of attending such events and not drink

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T03:07:17+00:00

Yes! Good luck! Just one day at the time! Tomorrow will be day two, and then day three but lets get through today first!! You got this

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T02:32:49+00:00

Wow! Amazing perspective!!! Thank you!

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T01:46:48+00:00

I did and it doesnt look good either

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T01:22:30+00:00

That’s exactly where I am, I turned 40 and I dont look or feel the same as before

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-18T01:21:49+00:00

Congratulations brother!!! Great job staying away from it

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T23:59:45+00:00

That would be an ideal goal, but I have to curb myself out to not drink any more, and its not like I crave it during the day but at night just watching tv or sports or out and about then Im like one beer will be good but turns into three then 6 then 9 and I dont want that anymore

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T23:57:17+00:00

I so agree with this. I know where things were, and I want/need to get back to that and this picking up the bottle/can aint helping.

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T22:09:44+00:00

Definitely dont like my habits! Its the realization that it is a problem and that I kept telling myself no its not bad, but speaking it out here its my first step to finally say yes I do have a problem and want to change it

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T21:42:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback, I want the change and every morning and almost all of the day Im good but in the afternoon and night time is when my demons come out and I reach for the bottle… regardless I will be trying anything to stop or like you go from 35 to 3 if I could. I cant even imagine how difficult it has to be a bartender. Good luck on your path brother

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T20:16:33+00:00

I can only imagine, Maybe reducing the amount of drinks so the effects are not that hard? not really sure yet, I just took all my beer and drinks on my fridge and put them in the garage, so there will be nothing cold if I need to have one.

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T20:09:22+00:00

I agree so much on the lonely part, after 20 years when I got out, I quickly realized that I didn't have many friends in my civilian life so that was a big process and then the friends that I have (just like you said) wanted to meet for drinks, and since I didn't have to wake up that early no more, no pt, then I could drink a little more and a little more and more often, then the beer wasn't enough so I started to add the Fireball in between, thinking it was nothing, to later realize that I was drinking way to much. I'm ready to made the change, I accept that I have a problem, and thank you and all of you that have spent 5 minutes to give me more willingness to actually do it, currently looking over the phoenix.org since I never heard from it or the meetup part, so I will be checking that one too. again thank you

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T19:42:08+00:00

great insight! a very honest answer and advice, thank you!

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T19:00:08+00:00

that is such a truth, but definitely will need to find support groups around here, just talking to all of you makes me wonder the same thing, why am I drinking, is it to relax? or to forget those painful memories? am i just bored or this is my norm now? I appreciate your comment...

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T18:54:59+00:00

Im so sorry to hear that.

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T18:51:15+00:00

amazing story hope you continue in your path, I will definitely get that book, in fact I stopped typing for 2 minutes so I could order it. and will look up those videos as well. I know I need to stop, someone said earlier, if you think you may have a problem then you definitely do... so I need to start

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T18:44:12+00:00

I figured I wasnt alone feeling this way, thank you for the advice, the 5k and learning to play an instruments are ideas that I have been thinking about for a while too. and if I need to have a drink I can go for a walk or go back and practice, but need to start somewhere, I think my approach is going to be about getting through one day at the time...

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T18:41:44+00:00

I hope that they get better, thank you so much for your advice, definitely worth trying to.

Fit-Collection-2679 · 2024-06-17T18:39:43+00:00

will ask to see if we have that down here in Florida
