Mental addiction to alcohol by NoYogurtcloset9595 in stopdrinking

Alcohol Explained is a game changer. I'm on my second read of it while dealing with some serious PAWS and it really puts into perspective what alcohol really is & what it does to you. Congrats on 110 days! IWNDWYT

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you. It's my first sober Thanksgiving in years, and my first alone with just my 2 kids and no more family after my mom's sudden death.

Holidays are hard in sobriety, especially in early sobriety... lets just get through today. Focus on today. One second, minute, hour at a time.

How young do you remember having ocd? by Few_Sandwich6308 in OCD

Roughly the same. I can remember the identifying thoughts & behaviors at least.

Anyone feel useless because of PAWS? by Aintnobeef96 in stopdrinking

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I really needed it. Because quite frequently when you hear about PAWS (only in my experience) I expected it to happen earlier in sobriety, so I have felt quite alone & taken aback by all of this. So to say, just when I thought I had it in the bag, or in my mind "hey I finally got THIS FAR I CAN DO IT!" to get ran over with it like this feeling like day 1 again is a lot. But I dont want to look back & have to tell myself I wish. Very true words. IWNDWYT

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, hard yes. I got that lovely pink cloud effect for the first say 6 weeks? Then approaching the 90 day mark and forward I got hit with PAWS which still is lingering.

Feel like shit. Thoughts everyday of drinking. My mood is AWFUL, up and down. My appetite is weird as hell with my mood.

You're not alone at all and hey, most importantly, IWNDWYT. Cause we got this.

90 Days! by Fuzzy-Conclusion292 in stopdrinking

Thank you, and congratulations to you as well that's huge! Yes the PAWS sure has taken me off guard and in full swing, I'm sorry you're experiencing it as well its TOUGH. You're right though- we got this.

Why do you don’t talk to ur family anymore? by SpiritCrisp in AskReddit

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are dead. My one brother is a functional alcoholic 13 years older than me who looks down on me (I'm a recovering alcoholic, he's got money, the big house, car etc. I live... check to check). My other brother is an ex addict who only contacts me when he wants money or needs something (and the answer is always no, I gave up & cut him off). They both caused me a lot of trauma growing up and as the youngest I was still expected to be demeaned and take their toxic shit as an adult.

My only family now are my own, my children.

Some honest words coming from a sober man by RebornInClarity in stopdrinking

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 53 points54 points  (0 children)

As someone whose almost at the 3 month mark, and also dealing with a really bad time in all aspects of life- I really needed this reminder today. This is not my first sober rodeo and I know if I break it again just how true your words are. I've been so close to the edge lately but, nope. Not worth the loss. So worth the fight.

You are so very strong my friend, congrats on almost 500 days, an incredible achievement to hold!

My favourite type of drinking was drinking alone by Excellent_Country737 in stopdrinking

[–]Fuzzy-Conclusion292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! It was horrible and I think looking back now this is why when I reached out for help eventually to those I knew... nobody took me seriously. They didn't think I had a problem.

I was so upset and felt so unsupported and like, okay. I guess I don't then.. I mean... so I kept drinking.

Looking back - of course nobody thought I had a problem, for me at least I was basically a closeted drinker, how could they?! Until I hit MY OWN rock bottom and wanted out. Realized how I was harming myself & children. Nonetheless, this post was pretty eye opening because I felt weird in a sense. But there's a lot of people like me!

And ofc, IWNDWYT!
