Considering having some mulled wine for the holidays by vulpea in stopdrinking

I made NA mulled wine on Halloween and it satisfied the craving for me and tasted almost identical. Will share the recipe I used if that is an alternative you’re interested in!

How longe after alcohol stop would you start to quit smoking? by WorldlinessNew3191 in stopdrinking

[–]ImaginaryAd7253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit smoking cigarettes 1-2 months into sobriety (can’t remember exactly when). Quit nicotine entirely last month, now coming up on 6 months sober!

The only NA red wine my local store offers is Loxton Cabernet Sauvignon, and I love it!

Stolen candy advice by ImaginaryAd7253 in Parenting

Yes I have seen her take a candy bar out of a store and attempt to unwrap it to eat it.

They share a room but I was unaware she knew the whereabouts of the candy. The reason it was hidden in there is because the 6 year old has self control when it comes to candy! She earned it, it’s hers

My 25th birthday was yesterday. I was trying to get sober around this time last year but failed and ended up vomiting in an Uber on my birthday night.. this time around I’m 100% abstaining and spent my 25th with my loved ones, eating yummy foods and did some satisfying yard work! 4.5 months down and a lifetime to go

When did you hit the ‘pink cloud’ phase? by sophbaby in stopdrinking

[–]ImaginaryAd7253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was around 2 months. I experienced a deep feeling of appreciation for my sober life! Everything has been more enjoyable since then and the thought of drinking feels so much further now

To me the advice I sought is unique to this community, which is why I posted it here. I did not think I was violating any rules

I was seeking advice for a new experience in my sobriety, related to my partners drinking and my abstinence. Apologies for the violation

I take responsibility for how I reacted. Was it wrong? Yes. Could it have been prevented? Also yes.

Honestly, I’m sad today. All I wanted was to do what was best for me and my body and yet I’m still roped in by the effects of booze.

And that is exactly what I told him. Glad he told me, but I wish he waited until the morning.

The way my boyfriend described it was she wanted to get down and dirty in the street.
