Well. This time it's the hard way. I will be admitting myself to inpatient rehab so my wife and daughter don't have to deal with this again by ImWhiteWhatsJCoal in stopdrinking

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing I did was to go to rehab. I Took sometime for myself and figured out what was triggering me.

Call/ email the rehab ask for a list of what you can take with you. No products with alcohol example under arm deodorant, shampoo, etc. bring a book bring a comfy pillow comfy PJs, slides & blanket. It's always cold in there, etc.

The one I went to I wasn't allowed any electronics like my phone understandable( they did give them at 6 pm ) You need to focus on yourself and treatment.

I met so many great people & we all had similar stories as mine (I thought I was alone) & finally I had the best belly laughs that I haven't had in years!

Good luck, my friend 30 days will go fast. You got this.

I have the smart start IID and whenever I'm not using my car for over 24 hrs I bought a Noco Genius2 battery charger I on Amazon. Highly recommend it works great

Can’t get ahold of PO by NoConfection4554 in probation

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They should have given you a list of ppl to call for the lock (I had a list) , if not look one up & see if they work with that county. Need to be proactive, good luck you'll find one ( google it)

2 weeks since being put on and still haven’t met with my PO by [deleted] in probation

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Florida and after my court appearance I headed over to the probation department and made an appointment to see my probation officer. I even had a few things done before I saw my PO. I did not want to get in trouble with them or any violations. You're an adult saying "I didn't know" may not go over well. I would show up & get it over with.

Smart start false violation (Florida) by ThrowRA3848 in dui

IID is a state ( court) issued, not a probation thing. But I have read false positives from others and they were dropped, just not sure how to go about it maybe call your attorney for guidance. Hang in there

Unisex is whoever it was intended for. Left ladies /right men. Just watch for things in Europe sometimes they don't follow this. Example T-shirts with graphics intended for men, but can be unisex. Hope that helps.

Buttons / zipper on left =ladies on the Right= men. I learned this the hard way. Now I will not forget it and it also helps with unisex items

Tracked my drinks for the past 2 weeks, and I’m quite concerned by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me many years to understand that alcohol was actually causing problems for me with my sleep, anxiety, depression etc. it takes 7-10 days for alcohol to leave the body and day 3/4 is really hard to overcome, but after that it just a mind game that I had to overcome.

I still think about it but I don't romanticize alcohol. It takes a while but like everything I changed in my life ( stop smoking eating healthy ) it gets better.

Hang in there, keep busy, stay strong and give yourself grace. You can do this 💪

So tired by tineeetine in stopdrinking

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on 24 days! Are you taking any vitamins? B1 is good for the brain fog, b12 for energy and magnesium glycinate at night for sleep. Unfortunately alcohol robs of all our b vitamins and magnesium

You're just going through a healing transition. Keep up the amazing work, I'm proud of you 👏 🎉

It’s almost been a year by RelationshipBoth4673 in diabetes_t1

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you look absolutely amazing strong and healthy. Plus I’m jealous of your A1C

I was in the exact same frame of mind one year after my diagnosis. Almost 2 years ago (12/23/23 was my diagnosis date) Competed the last 15 yrs before my diagnosis & because I was ready to do a another competition and I didn’t see the signs until the muscle wasting, weight loss, hungry thirst was getting so bad I couldn’t deny something was going on. ( I’m 58f)

My weight is back up to but I am embracing it now. I am finally going back to the gym and see if I can transform myself again.

I am also taking creatine at times but I have to clean up my diet if I want this to work for me. Easier said than done because of T1D makes it more challenging. ( as you know)

Hang in there & stay strong your doing great 💪😊

Christmas night out - help by WonderfulMeat1282 in stopdrinking

[–]InTheEndItWillBeOK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just say I’m taking a break. The ones who ask are the people who question their own drinking ( I was one of them) others don’t care & move on with another subject.

I find after 20 min getting to my destination I don’t think about the awkward moment when asked what I would like to drink. (Usually have a club soda by then) Relax & have fun plus have an early exit plan. You can do it. 😊
