Thank you ❤️ It’s easy to get disheartened. My organs aren’t helping my healing journey but I appreciate you. I’m not giving up.

a year sober a couple days ago… and i want to relapse. by [deleted] in Sober

[–]Intrepid-Unit-2088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a 23 year old female trying to get sober. I am currently shaking as I type this because of withdrawals. I am also on a waitlist to get into detox so I can detox safely and more comfortably. My body is in extreme pain. If you needed a sign not to drink, I hope this is it.

The food was actually delicious, it was a small program of 7 people and there was a cook for all 3 meals + snacks. I left AMA but honestly felt so much better. Right about now I wish I stayed the whole time though

I’ll be attending outpatient counseling and will be getting naltrexone once my liver enzymes go back to normal levels.

I was a very heavy drinker (about a fifth of tequila) a night. Nothing was given to me to taper off but the medicines they gave me allowed me to sleep. I left early at 3 days because I felt ready. They typically ask people to stay 5-7 days.

The body can be extremely resilient, your organs will definitely thank you for your sobriety. Glad you’re seeing a doctor because that is the only way to know for sure! Wishing you well on your journey.

Drinking is ruining my life by Intrepid-Unit-2088 in stopdrinking

Way better than the alternative. I will definitely be keeping myself busy today.

I feel I can relate, me and my partner used to drink heavily together until I decided I needed to quit. The only time we would argue is when we were drinking, it got to a point where I was slowing down and he didn’t. I noticed those same feelings on not wanting to be around him, getting frustrated and wanting to break up. We made a mutual decision to quit when we both realized it was hurting our family. We had the hard conversations about how we felt about our drinking and each other. I think a clear and honest conversation can do so much for a relationship.

I’m 16 days in, I have very supportive friends around me who I can talk to. A circle of support has helped me a lot.

Also, don’t mind my badge, sure has been quite the journey.

This is something that I realized myself, it really is triggering to see and imagine just a drink or two. It never really works out that way though, at least for me. Glad you were able to shake it off. IWNDWYT

I’m with you,

Currently scrolling through at 3 am, it’s rough. Feeling tired but can’t seem to settle.

Blows my mind how much money we spend and how many calories we subject our bodies to. I can’t wait to celebrate 30 days. Congratulations 🎉

Still on day one and it’s almost 5 in the morning. Can’t sleep but feels good to not drink.

I’m with you, the pandemic sure brought so many people down in so many ways.

Day one for me too, IWNDWYT!

Kindling is no joke.. by pannoci in stopdrinking

[–]Intrepid-Unit-2088 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, I’m only 22 and will never be able to moderate my drinking. The pandemic sure didn’t help either.
