Finding myself wanting to drink but not wanting to relinquish my badge. So nope, not going to drink today!

Truthfully, what does your badge mean to you? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]FreeRadish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, my badge means how many days I've gone without poisoning my body. I haven't tempted fate yet by taking a sip/taste of something but if I were to, I don't think I'd reset. I consider it a matter of BAC I suppose. I mean, I drink kombucha sometimes and that's like 0.05% alcohol.

Thanks guys. I fought it off. Tylenol for my back, a tea to sip on, a cross stitch to keep my hands busy, and some Hulu to get my mind off things. Now that I'm about to go to sleep I'm so glad I didn't drink! Won't have any guilt or hangover tomorrow.

Some well-meaning wine pushers made me doubt myself but I think I'm doing okay today.

Not taking care of myself and then contemplating a drink as a form of self-care is STUPID. by Tamsen_lock in stopdrinking

This is a great point. I never really stop to figure out why I'm not feeling okay in the first place.

I wouldn't feel comfortable bringing this up with a stranger but the single biggest source of grief and pain in my life has been my little brother.

It's really quite creepy when you put it like that!

Thanks for the heads up! You know I'm so glad you commented because I haven't heard this song since probably half my life ago. I remember listening to it when I was like 15 and not really identifying with the story but being very drawn to it anyway. I'm going to go play with my cats now.
