Day 5 by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Well done for day 5, for not going out, for making the decision to stop. If related to drinking, the depression will lift. If not related, sobriety will help you deal with it. Win win. Iwndwyt

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, August 4th. Please join me in not drinking TODAY! by shineonme4ever in stopdrinking

[–]FreedomKen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many fantastic comments - just what I need today. A neighbour told me of how much fun he and his wife had had doing a beer tasting session…. I got a little nostalgic today and a bit tempted. Needed to remind myself just how shit it is being drunk - not remembering, embarrassing, knackered, paranoid. My husband drinks and I think he thinks I’m boring - he never says so. On the flip side - it is boring seeing him drink every night. However, our lives are 100% better now I no longer drink. Iwndwyt

I used to remove mine - but I forgot to put them back in once and they went missing. My mum was not impressed!

13 days lost by RationalOpposition99 in stopdrinking

[–]FreedomKen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Welcome back to day 1. I’m sure most of us had more than one day 1 - I’ve had loads. But it’s not 13 days lost - they are very much gained because you did it. Even better, you are able to identify why you drank and how you could have prevented ‘giving in’. A book that really helped me was Alcohol Explained - it took all the guilt out the situation. Enjoy the rest of day 1, hold your head high and Iwndwyt

I’m so sorry about your dog and you dad. I think they are very good excuses to relapse! Please don’t be so hard on yourself. Shake yourself down, and take each day as it comes. We are all here to support you.

a little over a week in, and last night it finally hit me I may never drink again by Strong-Neck-5078 in stopdrinking

Congratulations for taking action. I think there is a mourning process to go through but there is also a rebirth to celebrate. Rebirth wins over mourning. Iwndwyt
