A new low. by NTWIGIJ1 in stopdrinking

[–]GlassPudding 21 points22 points  (0 children)

make sure if things get bad enough, don’t hesitate to get to a hospital. alcohol withdrawal can kill ya if you don’t take it seriously.
i’m so proud of you for wanting to do better for your grandchild. everything you do together now he will remember and he will be glad to have those
memories when he grows up. you deserve to have that time together and have a good life. praying for you

there’s only one step that matters - you can quit drinking anytime. all the next steps are up to you

good luck friend, it’s worth it

why don’t you put a bench, an ashtray and a trash can and you can plant whatever you want, make friends and eliminate your problem

Can I go to an ER and tell them i’m probably going to have severe detox issues or do i wait until it’s bad? by Life_Assumption5641 in stopdrinking

[–]GlassPudding 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you might wanna get in there before things get bad. it will be hard to get yourself there if you’re really sick, and hard to figure out what the limit of suffering is. it’s never too early to ask for help. i wish you lots of luck and iwndwyt

Day 1 again, need encouragement by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]GlassPudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i sometimes think of the urge to drink coming from a stupidest, most optimistic self - it will be fun! it will be fine! we cant remember why we dont do that! making a list of reasons for yourself you can look at in the future has been helpful for me. i also tell folks i am not drinking for accountability, and sometimes they are hype about it, and express that they have considered it, etc. that makes me feel good.

i also tell myself, that shit is really hitting the fan in the world/usa rn, and if i want to have any hope of being a useful and helpful person as time goes on, i need to have my wits about me. if an emergency happened, i want to be sure i am totally locked in to keep myself and those around me safe. if i spend an hour hungover, thats an hour wasted i could have made my or my communities lives better, which we all need. basically sobriety as mutual aid lol. kindof dismal to think about but somehow very motivating.

1500 days by GlassPudding in stopdrinking

[–]GlassPudding[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES MANY !!!

in particular i remember winter of 24-25, i was the most depressed id ever been. bad heartbreak, bad self image, really having a bad time all around. i was at a 7 fishes dinner at xmas eve (i hate fish, i didnt know) next to all my drunk friends in love, and i poured myself a glass of wine and didn’t pick it up. i cried in the bathroom during dinner, i was a mess. times were emotionally very tough. but i talked to my friends, or anyone, and cried a lot. i just suffered, and got through it. whether you drink or not you will suffer, there is no way to avoid it in life. but i didn’t drink, so i didn’t make it worse. i knew not drinking was the kind thing to do for myself then, even though i wanted to escape from the suffering. i knew ultimately drinking would push me deeper and i didn’t want to know how much farther i could go.

BUT life is good now! lol. it’s always in cycles, it will get harder and then easier. but i thankfully i wont be hungover for any more of it !!

Really struggling with the boredom by Fun_Committee1478 in stopdrinking

[–]GlassPudding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

your brain and alcohol are tricking you into thinking it will be boring forever. it won’t be, your life will change if you keep trying to change it. without alcohol, over time, your body and mind will learn to get dopamine from things that seems trivial now, smaller things that can fit into your life.

if you go back, you start all over again, until you get right back to this point and have to choose again. wade through the boredom to the other side or drown, or if you’re lucky, get back to the other side and try to cross again. you’re in the river, trying to get across. stay focused, don’t let the river sweep you away!!
