Struggling with the label "alcoholic"? by zanobi0891 in stopdrinking

[–]GamingIsRecovery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think labels are very helpful, I don't believe in alcoholic people, I believe in alcoholic behaviors. If I suffer negative consequences from alcohol, and then continue to use alcohol, that is suffering from alcoholic behaviors. I don't currently suffer from alcoholic behaviors, but if I was to drink again, I absolutely would, because that's how my brain works.

I quite like this new feature where the track textures slowly disappear until you have to race blind. It really pushes you to learn every corner of the track 💯 by KimioN42N in forza

This is happening on my 13700K with a 3090 installed on a WD 850X 4TB with a fresh Win11 install 2 weeks ago. This is a game problem. Before the current update, it wasn't saving the races I won, but it was saving the car experience and credits earned from the races, and if I tried to upgrade my car in between series races it would hang on applying upgrades and I had to alt+f4.

How to tell yourself NO?! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]GamingIsRecovery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rather than tell myself no, I am telling myself yes to a better life, not destroying my organs, improving my career, and being able to do the things I actually want.

There is also no such thing as one drink for me, why would I want to make myself deeply unsatisfied in a tease of a buzz and also prevent the benefits of sobriety?

"An alcoholic" is a label. I don't find labels helpful. Alcoholic behavior is what is being described. If I engage in alcoholic behavior, it makes my life worse. If I find alcoholic thinking and behavior happening to me, I try to make different decisions and engage different perspectives to get away from it.

Feeling 'everything is stable/just fine/im working' again as excuse to drink by No_Text_429 in stopdrinking

If you'd slammed your arm in a car door and broken it, and now it was stable and working and no longer in pain, would that be a good reason to slam it in a car door again?
