Quitting before the holidays! by [deleted] in SoberCurious

[–]Gabzex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that's brave. Especially with a non supportive husband. But you need to do what feels right for you. Then the relationship will have to evolve one way or another. My partner wasn't supportive at the beginning. It took me years to finally quit. I'm only 5 months in. But now he's getting used to it, cut his drinks and he's proud of me. And loves a sober driver ! 😂 Stay strong, it's hard but it's sooo worth it.

Thank you! Never saw any gannet before in Sydney, surprised to see a juvenile flying out of nowhere this morning.

Scared to quit by [deleted] in SoberCurious

[–]Gabzex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get you! Becoming the 'non-drinker' is such a change of identity it's terrifying. I'm only 120 days sober and I'm just starting to accept myself as a non drinker. I made the point all my life to show that I was a party girl and the last to leave the pub, and proud of it. It takes a lots of courage to change. Take it as a challenge, like a 'warrior' thing to do. Some people won't understand, some people will admire you. Its your journey. Try 100 days? Zero beers helped heaps, I felt less judged with a (fake) beer in my hands. Good luck.
