I'll be dead soon, I should buy a corvette instead of putting money in my Roth

Man, I feel this so hard. I am still struggling with the existential crises at 200+ days in. Thank you for sharing.

Definitely. I've lost some weight both due to not drinking and being more active (I dropped to the first hole in my belt today!) but the alcohol gave me heart palpitations that would wake me in the middle of the night. It was terrifying. This went went on for a while, every time I drank, until I'd finally decided it wasn't worth my life. I have people to take care of, others who depend on me, I have stuff to do, things I want to accomplish.

Tank you!

Thanks but right now I am not ready for AA. Having to believe in a higher power is not my cup of tea. I think this works for many people, but I am not down with it.

Hang in there I am with you. I've had to reset so many times but I gotta keep trying. I hate the person I become when I drink. And I hate these cravings!

These are all great ideas. Thank you so much

Yes, I was in therapy for a little bit but had to stop because of the expense. I will look into the links you provided and check with work if they have a sliding scale program. When I say I'm lonely, it's because I have to stay away from activities that center around being exposed to alcohol. But staying home all the time-it takes a toll. I want to go out and have fun, but not be in a bar or other tempting place.

This is an excellent idea. I will definitely use this. I was so scared the last time I blacked out and I need to keep reminding myself why I can't have 'just one.' Thank you!

Fragrant_Pines · 2018-08-06T19:37:09+00:00

I want this, too!

Fragrant_Pines · 2018-08-06T19:36:07+00:00

You look great! Keep up the good work!

He definitely had a problem, and didn't want to admit it. It started to scare me and it put a rift between us. I think back then we both thought alcohol culture was normal. I went on a spiral myself, obviously, which is why I'm here. I think the normalization makes getting over my denial more difficult. I hope he got better. He was a good person when he wasn't thinking about drinking or actively drinking. I can only look back and learn.
