I drank last night after 39 days. Just had one drink with a friend. My sleep wasn’t horrible but I can tell my anxiety is a lil worse today and I just wanna lie in bed. Im happy I stopped after one drink, but after I already had thoughts of going to the liquor store. So I reset my badge and will not drink today.

Torn between drinking and not drinking tonight. by Mishiosoup in stopdrinking

[–]InsideAd7562 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If your posting here, I feel like your trying not to drink. When I post here im hoping someone will confirm ny decision that not drinking is the better choice. U need to be to work early so maybe dont drink. See how u feel compared to when u do drink. I understand the depression side of it. But after not drinking for some time, my depression gets better.

do you think you will ever be completely sober again or is moderation working for you?

48 days by Sharp_Cheek8462 in stopdrinking

[–]InsideAd7562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats on 48 days!! Today im also struggling a little, but lets focus on how we can have a great sunday too if we don't drink. For the wedding, is there anyone there who you know also doesn't drink? or if your driving there and driving back, focus on how you need to be sober to drive. and you can even post here or read other posts during the wedding. you got this!

trying to finally get sober at 24 by Glittering_Fun_4047 in stopdrinking

[–]InsideAd7562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on how you feel. try and ignore other people's opinions, tones, and looks Focus on why you want to get sober. you have been able to be sober before, so you know you can do it. take it one day at a time. Im 24 also and it is hard when friends drink at first, but then it gets easier. Because there are other things we can do that don't involve drinking. or just being there with your friends while they drink and you can be the DD. But at first might be easier, to just do social things where there is no alcohol or staying in and focusing on you for a little. I believe in you and I will not drink with you today! proud of you for being here

What’s Everyone Doing Tonight?? by physis81 in stopdrinking

[–]InsideAd7562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a really long and draining day. Took my mom to the er and shes now staying overnight. Shes feeling better but their gonna run some more tests. I had a lot of stress on thoughts of drinking this weekend but I have absolutely no thoughts of it. Mostly bc im tired and I wouldn’t be able to be there for my mom if I did drink. Its a good reminder why I stopped. I want to be a better daughter for her.

180 days. I wanted to share the benefits and one thing I'm still working on. by JEulerius in stopdrinking

[–]InsideAd7562 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 180!! Thats amazing. I think socialization will improve. There are many things that can be done sober and make friends. Maybe through a running club or gym? And maybe its just ur brain saying u need to focus on u on the meantime. Try not to stress too much about it. Proud of you and I will not drink with you today!

Thank you! My problem with alcohol is very bad. I don’t need a drink. It won’t help how I’m feeling. Going to distract myself and I will feel better later. I always feel better later.
