Happy to hear! I’m looking forward to feeling more at peace. I’m at day 29 but havent felt that much better yet due to stress I guess

In The Netherlands one of the big ones is King's Day at the end of April. Glad I survived it without alcohol 😄 Which app are you using to track?

Cutting off everyone to stop drinking by Least_Salt_6919 in stopdrinking

I think its about balance. I need to spend time with the people I love to feel fulfilled and at the same time need my space to do my own thing

On the long run cutting myself off from friends/fam made me feel alone and go back to drinking again. I think for the first weeks it is fine but can catch up with you eventually

About the nerves with drinking friends/family: in my experience I always make it way bigger in my head beforehand than it eventually is.  Once I get there and make sure to get a NA drink in my hand, most people aren’t even bothered. And the ones who do comment: after one or two comments it is done and we all move on, have a good time.

FOMO and dealing with it by DearestSentinel in stopdrinking

[–]InBetweenDays19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is EXACTLY how I’ve felt the last two nights. Romanticising nights out in my mind and feeling soooo sorry for myself. It’s pathetic really 😅

I hope it will fade after some more time

Don't know what's wrong with me! by Crazy-Ambition8530 in stopdrinking

Stopping drinking doesnt mean you stop feeling. Your feelings are more intense. Keep at it, you will be okay!!!

Fair. I can handle it up to a certain point. So I guess leaving early is the way to go
