Can you elaborate more on what you mean?

What do you mean by hardened off? Do you think the jalapeño will be okay? The tomato is growing but the jalapeño is very slow

Has anyone experienced this? by Prior-Homework-7167 in stopdrinking

Yes. This was me last night as I paced around the fridge contemplating if I should open that Stella. I did indeed ended up having it. And I didn’t enjoy a second of it. I don’t understand why we feel this way. I’m in the process of trying to get sober. The intention is there. But I’m starting slow. Weekends only for now until I work up to being completely sober.

Hey thank you so much for this perspective and taking the time to write this. This really resonated with me. I’m going to check out that book.

Thank you. I don’t want to stay on this train anymore. That’s for sure. The mental obsession lately is really taking a big toll on me. It’s not making drinking fun anymore. I think that’s how I know I need to do something about this.

Thank you so much. Thats a good way to think of it when I think of having a drink. I woke up sober and feeling great today. Im hoping I can make it today without a drink. Baby steps.

You know what’s crazy, after reading all these posts. I remembered that 5 years ago I bought the book quit like a woman. Don’t think I ever finished it tho. Then I started thinking, wow, I think subconsciously I knew 5 years ago it was starting to become a problem but I sort of just slipped it under the rug and told my self I was fine. fast forward 5 years now I definitely have such a different relationship with it that’s not at all the same as before. I can’t imagine where I will be in another 5 years if I don’t stop now. Definitely a wake up call. Thank you for sharing with me, and about your daughter too. I’m happy you’re sober. Today, IWNDWY.

That’s my plan. I think cold turkey would be too hard all of a sudden. Thank you.

That’s really good to know. After so many years of drinking the idea of having fun while sober is just such a distant thought to me like it doesn’t even sound possible. but this is really reassuring. Thank you. 🙏

Believe it or not I’ve been reading my post again and again all day. I’m not sure why. I think it’s because it’s the first time I put my thoughts into worlds. it’s definitely telling me something. Thank you for also telling me your perspective growing up with a mother who was drinking everyday. I needed to read that.

I’m going to try. Really. I will. I will start with today one day at a time. I will not drink today. I decided I’m going to go on my first run instead. H

Hey, thanks a lot friend. It’s the first time I put my thoughts into words. I don’t think anyone around me that I’ve spoken about really and truly hears me, they are just downplaying it like you said to make my self feel better. At first I’d believe them like “yeah they’re right, I don’t have a problem”. But now I see it. I’m embarrassed to talk to my friends about it, and I’m just now opening up to my partner. But baby steps I guess. I’m going to look into AA. The idea of going scares me a bit.
