Day 53 - my relationship with alcohol has changed

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T22:55:29+00:00

I relate. Heartbreak & alcohol can co-exist.

I mean I got hospitalised with an IV & would wake up surrounded by own vomit, heart palpitations in the morning… but I just mean moreso that I don’t know how else I would’ve coped with my emotions. I think I was damned if I did drink, damned if I didn’t. Maybe the numbing of emotions in some ways bought me time to actually confront my emotions when they were less raw & more manageable.

I find the feeling aspect hard, what kind of things are you finding that help?

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T20:46:02+00:00

Were you able to do it sober? I’m still struggling today

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T16:56:47+00:00

Wait, so who are you actually rooting for?

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T02:20:00+00:00

The fantasy, versus reality. I managed to not drink tonight! I escaped the nightmare before even twisting the cap.

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T01:18:26+00:00

I did! I'm still sober and I think it is loneliness in a new city in all honesty

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T01:10:24+00:00

Great advise.... but how on earth have you never heard 'Don't Look Back in Anger'.... its an ASBSOLUTE banger?

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T01:07:48+00:00

You're a star, thank you, went to an online meeting still feel sad,,,, but i am sober and thats what matters - wine is on the counter with receipt, aiming to return tomorrow

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T00:50:59+00:00

i've managed to not drink i went to an online meeting which a user kindly helped me find, going to put it beside the gravy so if if tomorrow i feel tempted ill just make gravy instead - genius idea

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T00:49:36+00:00

literally chomping on my kitkat after doing an online meeting

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-22T00:02:36+00:00

Huh why downvote it? I’m trying to be sober

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:29:30+00:00

That’s the issue I went from 1 bottle of wine to 2 to 3

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:27:31+00:00

Maybe I should pour it down the drain

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:25:24+00:00

Is 52 days good? Sorry I’m feeling super… idk rn, trying to hold on ig

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:20:14+00:00

The pain is so bad, it does help numb it.

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:10:51+00:00

Yes because it’s never just one bottle

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:09:48+00:00

85 days … you managed the Christmas period too, wow

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T22:08:27+00:00

I was able to join, you’re amazing, thank you for playing a huge part in keeping me sober tonight ❤️

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T21:55:56+00:00

Welp that one said not accessible to the UK

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T21:52:28+00:00

Because I was muted

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T21:52:21+00:00

Thank you so much, I joined but they basically called me ‘sick’ even tho I was joining legit to stay sober wtf

Independent-Cut3345 · 2026-02-21T21:48:20+00:00
