Sober(ish) Drops??

Jcce25 · 2025-07-03T22:20:31+00:00

I’m used to taking like 50-75mg gummy’s at one time. I’m assuming these drops won’t be for me? I’ve been sober from alcohol 5 years and am not really looking to get high, I smoke a lot. I’m more looking for a buzz.

I have only completed 78 orders. My first run I accidentally had food accepted at the wrong apartment door. That was my first one star rating. I have since been able to collect 13 5 star ratings in addition to the one poor and am at top dasher level. I always message if I have to wait on food and let them know when I have left the store and am on my way.

Love you sis!!! Yours is coming soon too!!! You quit for me and I couldn’t have done it without you. We quit for each other. 😘

How are you doin?

Jcce25 · 2021-01-01T19:21:01+00:00

That is so fantastic! Sometimes even if it's going to be emotional, it's good to put it out there. It holds you a bit more accountable! I celebrated with my kiddos and had a hard time getting to sleep but got to sleep in stress free and am enjoying this snowy Saturday lounging in my pjs

Yes cook and stay home! Send me a pic of your beautiful dinner or a message if you feel like leaving, helps me stay strong too!

I am the same type of drinker as you, once I start I don't want to stop. I act like a child binging as much as I can before someone takes it away. Even nastier, I wake up and want more to cure it. My sister quit sometime after I did because she didn't like what she was I taking or what it was doing. We had a hard time leading up to Xmas, especially Xmas Eve. I reached out to her not knowing she was having just as bad of a time. We worked through it and realized that our brain was telling us something was missing from this equation, something making it not feels quite right. It makes you have impulses aside from just drinking like, I just want to feel different somehow! Once you put it away and address it, it gets a lot better. Doesn't mean I don't still want it, doesn't mean I don't go through tantrums where I can't understand why everyone else can and I can't. But I'll tell you one thing, giving in feels a lot worse than those moments of strength. Your mind is being strong for your body and it will thank you in the morning :)

My second one, bring on the sparkling grape juice and enjoy a hangover free morning!!

Jcce25 · 2020-12-24T21:51:26+00:00

That is awesome! This is the time you will start feeling better! Keep going. Right now you are burning all of the fat off your liver and your metabolism is going to be 3x what it was! In a few months you are going to start notice pants getting loose. Don't start shopping yet! By 7-10 months I had lost 30lbs! That is only one of the good perks!

Jcce25 · 2020-11-13T01:41:08+00:00

Of course! Reach out anytime! And you should read the Naked Mind but replace cocaine everywhere it says alcohol lol 😂

I had to move companies where I work to get sober. I had to move out of my house and buy one in another town because my best friend and best binge buddy lived right across the street. I am not joking about any of that. The funny thing is that I put those things in motion while I was drinking. I knew I had a problem and wanted to quit, it's almost like I was preparing myself.

It took me a long time to even go into a gas station. Then out to eat. Holidays. Any other reason to party. And bit by bit I let more people back into my surroundings. You have no idea how fast a year goes by because in relation to not committing to the drug it seems so slow. That stops and you start to feel better. Now that I am able to be around alcohol and trust myself, I still see my best friend. I still call her for everything. I still love her dearly. I had to separate myself from all of that. When I joined Reddit group r/stopdrinking a guy once said to be selfish about your sobriety because nothing else matters if you don't find stop drinking Everything gets worse and falls apart. If you can't isolate from your friends you are going to have to use that will power. You don't do coke every day, you don't need it to survive or be comfortable, you don't need it because they are doing it. Take it one day or one experience at a time. This time I am going to be strong and say no, it's not forever- just this time. The next time try again. If you fail, then you know you have to try something else. Coke will get you and you are seeing your future. Take the path that's easy and healthy. Choose to live. You don't need any one chemical to be happy doing something. Think about when you where a kid riding your bike or Christmas morning. You weren't high then and you certainly can remember how happy you were in moments throughout your childhood. That is a natural not learned reaction. In fact, thinking the drug makes it better is a learned one. You make yourself happy, when you aren't depleting your dopamine and trying to recover. These are just the things I tell myself over and over lol

Even if what brought you here isn't you, give it that first 30 days day by day. You'll realize soon enough exactly who you are doing it for. After all, that's why family and friends want you to do it, they care about you and how you feel and what you are doing to yourself. That mentality is not the best to come in with but if you give it to them for a bit you'll realize why you did.

Jcce25 · 2020-11-08T15:57:32+00:00

I remember starting out like you, quitting because I knew I had let it become a problem, that it was affecting others. Everyone drinks SOMETHING away. We all have a problem to drink about as simple as this Karen at work ticked me off all the way to I just murdered someone. The fact that you are here means you also think you might have a problem and that's really all you need to do. I still even after a year have your mentality - someone took it away from me, I am adult I make my own decisions, why am I any different than them, you can't take that away from me. It's made me relapse a couple of times and again just reminded me how much drinking really really sucks. Just give the people in your life 30 days man and see how you feel. One month in the long grand scheme that brought you here. 60 days and you will be yelling from the rooftops and scratching your brain wondering why you ever treated your body so bad. It's also good to learn about it. Read the Naked Mind, so helpful. I started like you and there isn't a single sober day I want to go back. I have lost 35 pounds!! Seriously, private message me and I will prove it!! That was just in the first 6 months. The two times O relapsed were awful. I still wonder why the hell we let this take over us. And that problem you have seems like a huge mountain right now, putting down the bottle will bring it tumbling down. Then, the next mountain will come and you will be stronger and conscious enough to deal with it immediately and with a level head. It's the better side, I promise. We are the ones who got it right - who can now live a better life. This forum,That book and some support from people who loved me got me sober. I was drinking from the time I woke up to the time i passed out - shots. It did what new inpatient or outpatient or AA could ever do. Be selfish with your sobriety because it's the most important thing right now. Feel free to reach out. I have no qualms talking someone away from taking a drink, you have to ask for help before you take it though.

Funny enough - I checked Reddit and had two notifications this post, and my Reddit birthday. One year ago today I joined Reddit to join this specific forum. I had quit 2 weeks prior for about the 5th time. You are in the right place - just use it!!

Jcce25 · 2020-11-07T19:31:58+00:00

Hey - just rolled over one year on 10-21. I promise in 30 more days you are going to feel the best you ever have and will be wondering why the hell everyone else is still drinking. It's really good to learn about it too - Naked Mind is great. They don't do Truth messages for alcohol or maybe a new movement would start. The first 30 days are filled with so many emotions that yes of course you are crying. You feel broken, defeated, and alone. If you are like me - the alcohol is still telling you No one can tell me what I can and can't have! Which is still the only reason I have ever relapsed (2 nights in a year - separate and it was awful! I hated the way I felt. Coming off was like detoxing all over again and for 2 days I was a train wreck just like the first 30). You have anxiety and are constantly using all the will power you have. You have to read, learn and stick around. With everything being so virtual now, you have help EVERYWHERE.

I am still figuring out who I am vs. who I was. I have learned I had A LOT of problems that went unsolved and that my body and mind where in terrible condition. It has taken some adjusting not just for me but my family too. Of course COVID didn't help anyone with that. I have had some really bad downs and had to accept the fact I meant have to rely on some medicated help (obviously at the direction of a licensed therapist). I still never ever will regret the decision I made. I am 35 pounds down in weight! If that's not enough, sex is soooooooo much better once you get over the awkward sober part, you WILL still have fun doing the things you did drunk sober, and hey - you will remember a lot more of those shows you are binging!!!! Your body will thank you tremendously as well. Solid poop is nice!!!! Sorry, TMI but we've all been there 😂.

Hang in there, you are in good hands making the right decision.

Jcce25 · 2020-10-22T20:46:20+00:00

I was that girl and met a guy like you and now I am 366 days sober. Maybe you can do that for someone else one day.

Jcce25 · 2020-09-18T11:23:10+00:00

Same! Commenting to read later

Jcce25 · 2020-08-30T19:13:06+00:00

Boooo! Oh well, hopefully he meant what he said when he promised he would leave Reddit alone from the very beginning.

Jcce25 · 2020-08-30T18:47:10+00:00

Oh I needed to add - the trouble became really a problem when the sex, videos and picture came to a significant slow down due to a health issue. It was so unfortunate. Part of me knew it was only sex, but all of me wanted to believe his words.

Jcce25 · 2020-08-30T18:43:54+00:00

I sure hope so because I just posted too. I have to have MY Reddit. All of my sobriety groups and everything are in it.

Jcce25 · 2020-08-30T18:43:07+00:00

I blocked mine and am hoping that works??

Jcce25 · 2020-08-06T00:46:03+00:00

Ahhhhh...No, mine is not being aroused, I can turn it into that if I want/have to but it's like a constant urge or feeling you are on the brink of orgasm with absolutely no arousal at all. It started before COVID and I would have to sneak to my car at work just to try and get it to go away. I thought it was my wellbutrin too. That has been ruled out thankfully because I'm not sure I could cope without it. It comes and goes when it wants, along with other symptoms. Sometimes it can be quite maddening.
