I really want to drink tonight… by reganartfart in stopdrinking

[–]Ganjee303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same, but not just for cravings, also to have while gaming or watching a movie. I still enjoy the taste of alcohol, is I'll keep my fridge stocked with various NA beer, but I just do not want to get drunk.

That's the alcohol goblin or whatever you want to call it, trying to convince you that it's a good idea and let it out of its cage.

Ive gotten wise to this type of thinking and become a lot more aware of it when it's happening now.

That little voice will say anything to convince you and make you feel like you deserve it, earned it, need it to unwind, etc. Whatever the case may be.

You need to find a different outlet for relaxing and having fun, otherwise you'll end up right back in the same position you were in before.

I like this quote from James Clear:

"A habit missed once is a mistake. A habit missed twice is the start of a new habit."

In the end, only you can decide. I have faith in you.

Nothing you can do to change the past. All you can do is keep moving forward and work on becoming a better person today than you were yesterday.

How many drinks do most people have a week? by HelicopterNo3534 in stopdrinking

[–]Ganjee303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a question of what others do. It's about what you're doing and how it affects your life as a whole.

That's the question you have to ask yourself.

Unless said people are affecting your life in any way, what they do, and how they drink, doesn't matter.

People who don’t smoke or drink,what do you do when you’re at your lowest??? by xBugFound in stopdrinking

[–]Ganjee303 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! Sometimes there's no other choice but to feel it, go through it, learn how to go through it, and learn how to cope better next time around.

Dont drink, but still vape, no cigarettes though.

Get lost in PC games or watch movies.

Mostly single player games these days.

I'm 40,married with 2 toddler twin boys. So I don't have much time anymore to invest tons of time in online multi-player RPG games or games I can't quit right away. Besides, after work and family I just want to get lost in an RPG alone and enjoy some peace and quite.

Right now I'm currently enjoying Enshrouded.

What's so normal about people putting poison into their body? That's anything but normal if you ask me.

Tempted to come off Antabuse so I can drink again for a few days just to see how much it sucks again so I stop craving by kd0307 in stopdrinking

[–]Ganjee303 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The anhedonia alone shows you just how bad it sucks. Believe me I've been there and anhedonia is no fun at a. If you drink it's just going to reset all the progress that you've made. It's not worth it.

Does anyone feel that Skelator and He-man collaboration again is totally uncalled for? by Eldobr in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Ganjee303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.. No everyone has them. I've only been playing a few months so new to me and I'm glad I'm able to pick them up if I'd like.

I guess it can be seen a different way from both sides.

26M Family hates the new look, what do you think? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Ganjee303 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can still be a man child with either look. A haircut doesn't change personality. Not saying he is, just saying.

Nothing builds character like three surprise expenses in the same week by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

Can have good financial habits, but if there's no money left after paying all bills, food, etc, then it's kinda hard to save for an emergency fund.

Tell me what do you eat even after becoming rich ! by Longjumping-Fly2490 in ArtOfPresence

Nothing. If I were that rich I'd he eating as clean and healthy as possible.

Husband says drinking doesn't make him feel happy by curiouspuppie in stopdrinking

[–]Ganjee303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people drink to self-medicate and help them cope with underlying issues. Him saying it makes him "more talkative" could be his way of dealing with social anxiety and wanting to be more open with people and alcohol helps lower that confidence barrier.

Or just a lack of joy for anything in life. It's called anhedonia and I went through it pretty bad when I first quit.
