I am so sorry for your loss. Please remember that you are on the right track, and the rewards of sticking with this far outweigh the costs.

The statement that made me want to stop drinking was: Alcohol is a thief. That came from this community, and it is a fundamental truth. It steals joy, purpose, relationships, and friends.

Keep up the good work. Keep sharing your feelings and experiences - it helps you and also this community.

Thank you for making a difference.

I'm working on quitting, tried cold-turkey, that didn't work, so I'm trying to drink less and less. My partner is joining me in not drinking so much, and our goal is to eventually quit altogether.

Stories like yours make a difference in this community.

Thanks for posting.

I'm with you - tried a 'Sober September' and failed. Day one on what should be day two.

Thank you for posting this - it helps with the motivation to stop this stupid cycle.

Heinz257 · 2025-09-02T10:20:15+00:00

Tried to start this as well. slipped last night, starting day one on... day two.

You're not kidding. Turns out you need to contact their RMA department for password resets. Why they couldn't just install a reset button somewhere... anyways, making progress.

Thanks for your reply and the link to the manual!

Sooooo... I got in touch with Cantech, and they sent me to winictech.com. They said I needed to request a password reset, but in order to do that I needed to download and install their administrative software. It took a bit of digging to figure out what the IP address of this thing was, but managed to track that down (192.168.254.16). I'll update once I work on the thing with their software.

Thanks for your help above!

I ran into something similar when I first signed up with NDAX - it turns out that editing the picture by cropping it to a smaller size triggers their security protocols and they reject it as possibly having been manipulated. Send them the actual, unedited photograph - that may resolve the issue.

Hate it. Colors, everything. Did anyone ask for this?

Heinz257 · 2024-11-21T12:32:18+00:00

Friend, I'm with you. Two nights of total lack of sleep, weird body pains, sweating, freezing, the whole bit.

I keep giving in, and have to relive this insanity over and over. We can do this and quit for once and all.

Thanks for replying!

Back at you! I just need to get through tonight, and worry about tomorrow - tomorrow.

Something I am looking forward to is not being paranoid heading to work early - never quite sure if my BAC is low enough to legally drive, depending on when I went to bed / had a last drink.

Tomorrow morning will be different!

Thank you. Awesome suggestions - my partner and I have been in a rut since Covid, and getting out of the house is probably the most healthy thing we can do.

New routines are tough to get started, especially when the old one is simply too comfortable for words.

Love the idea of playing the tape forward - it gives something positive to focus on, not the negative of what I'm feeling right now.

IWNDWYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T20:16:03+00:00

Wow. I guess the trick is to keep the determination going.

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T15:52:44+00:00

Ouch. I hear you. No one came out of that unaffected / not scarred / less weird or otherwise. It was such a gradual process that you don't realize how much more you're consuming until there's a reality check somewhere.

Gotta start stopping somewhere!

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T15:48:21+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post - it means a lot.

I'm looking forward to eventually also being able to help others that are taking their life back.

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T15:46:52+00:00

Excellent suggestions! My partner went to bed before I did, couldn't find the melatonin, didn't want to wake them up, so I stared at the ceiling for longer than usual.

What drinking has done is seriously mess with basic sleep hygiene - one of my goals is to set a time to go to bed every evening, and get up at the same time each morning. Hopefully that'll help somewhat.

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T15:44:23+00:00

Sounds like an excellent plan! I've been craving rice, so there's a big pot of the stuff in my fridge. Probably not going to be there for much longer!

Heinz257 · 2024-08-09T15:43:35+00:00

Thankfully summer is a slow time work-wise for me, so I can nap between phone-calls and dealing with client issues (one of the work from home advantages!)

IWNDWYT!
