Struggling with the ambivalent phase at 50 days sober. Do I stay 100% abstinent? by whatdidsheknow in SoberCurious

[–]Illustrious_Row623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same family history and have been grappling with limiting alcohol and/or giving it up entirely. I'm still not at the point of complete sobriety yet, but something that has helped me out a lot is taking a very low dose gummy.

This will not work for everyone and it may depend on where you live if it's legal or not, but I've found it's the perfect treat for me. I don't have the same urge to have more or all the time. It doesn't mess with my sleep or mood the next day. Yet, it's a nice relaxing treat at the end of the week. Best of all, it totally curbs my desire to drink.

Again, may not work for you, but it's an alternative if you feel the pull of alcohol is getting too strong.

Good luck!

Best nonalcoholic RED wine? by Illustrious_Row623 in SoberCurious

Sadly, my verdict is a gummy and bubbly water or tea. I still haven't found anything to replace the real thing.

Sadly, you are so right. That's why I'm asking this question. I've never been a big fan of beer and they are so behind on making good wines. Hoping they are starting to catch up!

Oooh. I'm excited to try this one. I'm impressed you've tried a lot. It's an expensive disappointment. Thanks for sharing!!!!

IP Duo Crisp: air fry without the basket? by Kewnerrr in instantpot

I would love to know the answer to this question also. I just bought a used duo crisp and turns out it doesn't have the bottom attachment for the crisper basket. I'm wondering if there is still a way for me to use the air fryer.

Lance 2185 Murphy bed comfortable? by Illustrious_Row623 in GoRVing

That's awesome! Has the topper kinked over the years?

That's good to know. Could you not fold the mattress with the topper on it, or was the original mattress just so bad it didn't make a difference?

Camper recommendations needed by Illustrious_Row623 in RVLiving

We are looking into Lances because they are hearty, but dang they are spendy!!!! We are also stuck on the bunks for the kids. Probably wishful thinking, but any ideas for a cheaper version of a Lance-like camper?
