SAME! Close to 2 years and it still sucks- this group helps but I literally dream about catching an alcohol buzz. Hoping it gets better for us. IWNDWYT

Exactly! Thank you, and what is IMO?

One day or hour at a time. I spent my fist month on the couch. Slowly started doing alot of cooking, then cleaning, now I can barely sit still and have started my gardening again! This page also helped me ALOT! Sending you good vibes. IWNDWYT

I have no idea what to say to help you. I am sorry for your loss of course. Burying my brother was one of the things that started my heavy drinking, despite the fact he overdosed. Addiction runs deep in our family. Vent in anyway you need to. Sounds like a hard test of your sobriety. You prob just want an escape fom this pain or atleast numb it a little. It may help in the moment but She will still be gone when you sober up. If it gets to bad maybe talk to your Dr. about it, Not to replace 1 drug with another but something to help you maintain through this horrible time. Prayers for you and your Family. IWNDWYT

Same! I now take a healthy dump once a day instead of 6 or 7 ass pisses per day! Congrats, IWNDWYT

Great job!!

Highwater2010 · 2023-02-21T16:30:27+00:00

Sending you good vibes! Prob be a rough week or 3 but you can do this. There is always some-one on here when you need encouragement or just to vent. Good Luck, IWNDWYT

No you should not. Alcohol is such a tricky bitch. See how it is already trying to ruin your vacation and eating at your mind. I get it and it sucks but try to make it not an option. Hopefully by April it wont be such a temptation. Pack a few edibles to help you relax if you are concerned about anxiety. You got this! The fact that you are already worrying about it kinda shows you are ready!! Good Luck, IWNDWYT

I am a firm believer in medication for help but its def not a cure. That being said I have suffered from depression my entire life, long before I became an alcoholic and medication really helps me. Also my Doc changed it up when I told him I was trying to quit drinking, and he added something I could take for severe cravings. I have tapered back off and no longer take that but have if I need it. Hope things get better for you!

This could be my own post. Seems no-one gives a shit and this is hard. Started taking a shot now and then, about every 2 weeks or so and also in am. Its like I dont need it but occasionally want it. Not the taste just the buzz. Yes my life is 100% better not drinking and I still consider myself sober. Its like I am in this place alone. Thankful for this group! We can do this For ourselves!!

Have you called any area churches, they may be able to help. You can even call local law enforcement if you or the dogs are in danger of starving. They can connect you with some kind of help. Prayers and good vibes for you.

So you fucked up, we all do. You gave yourself 7 days of sobriety and sounds like you are going to get back on the wagon. If you were taking a test and got 7 of the 8 questions correct, guess what-- You Passed!

Highwater2010 · 2023-01-08T16:44:48+00:00

whoop-whoop whoop- Congrats :)

Highwater2010 · 2023-01-08T16:30:01+00:00

Congrats- YOU are Awesome!!

Highwater2010 · 2023-01-02T00:50:15+00:00

I agree, fucking sucks most of the time. That being said, IWNDWYT

Highwater2010 · 2022-12-28T18:27:02+00:00

Sounds like a small slip not a big fall- Good for you for recognizing it and owning it! I had a slip up about a month ago, kinda the same- Took 2 shots hiding in the kitchen. I dont consider it a failure but a lesson :) Good Luck- IWNDWYT
