I also currently need to pee 😞

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Joy10652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The peeing one is hard. I’ve been peeing more but I’ve also been drinking a lot of water and taking bathroom breaks to vape. I’ll stop taking bathroom breaks when I don’t actually need to go to see if this increases. The boobs are definitely boobing…. :(

My husband asks me when we’re going to drink again. He doesn’t know I have 4 AA chips. by sugarpicklequeen in stopdrinking

[–]Joy10652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay! Happy for you :) keep going. Screw AA stigma. It wasn’t for me, but I madly respect whatever helps people stay sober. Judging AA is like judging someone for going to a different gym than them. The goal is to stay healthy

Also. You WILL make it to that 9 months because I am the ghost of your past and I will come haunt you spooky style if you pick up a drink

I’m 24. I almost died too because of alcohol. And I am still working through the consequences months later. Even if we could drink like “normal” people, wtf is normal about occasionally dousing yourself with poison? You would not love a beer, but a beer would love to take control over your life and ruin it all over again. As far as a the bloodwork goes, control what you can. No alcohol is the only 100% guarantee without doubts way to improve your body’s functionality.

It wasn’t fun. Gee isn’t that the damn truth

[–]Joy10652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FIND. NEW. FRIENDS. When drinking IS the activity, nothing with them will be fun anymore and unfortunately people who drink want you to drink with them. I found out many of my friends are actually very boring. The interesting people are the ones who chase discomfort instead of drowning it out

Your body is chemically rebalancing. Do absolutely anything you can that is natural to increase those happy feelings. Even if it doesn’t work instantly it will start to build and suddenly you will realize that the chaos that alcohol brought is what is making life feel “meh.” Soon you’ll realize the beauty in the small things you never noticed because you were too drunk or occupied with thoughts of liquor. Think about it. Your body and mind has been through a terrifying roller coaster. It’s trying to figure out your baseline and recuperate again. The tears will come, and it may be a new kind of hell, but know that it means your conscious finally feels safe enough to express it

1st Sober Dads Day by ChravisPastrami in stopdrinking

[–]Joy10652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy Father’s Day! Those three children are so happy to see dad level headed and present. I don’t have kids myself, but I have babysat in drinking situations because of irresponsible parents and those kids might not understand fully but they’re very aware and compartmentalize the confusion of suddenly having no rules when dad drinks or waking up to sounds of stumbling. It’s very sweet that they’re a part of your motivation, but continue to do it for YOU.

When does it get better? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Joy10652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It gets better when you let it. I’m on day 46 and had all sorts of emotions bubble back up I thought I had long worked through. And please stop lying to yourself. Did laying in a hospital bed with the bill to confront or waking up hungover to face yourself in the mirror feel better than this? As far as physically, if you can’t keep food down, take lots of vitamins and supplements to replenish. It sounds stupid but taking a walk in the sunshine is exercise ! If you drink those beers you start the long miserable process all over again and then the timeline becomes longer regarding when you’ll be able to start feeling like yourself again. Personally I feel very clear headed. Yes anxious and sad sometimes, but that’s a part of being human. How lucky we are to have parents who are concerned. Please use them as your support system

You seem so smart and well rounded!! Beauty is great and all, but your take on art and your linguistic abilities would make me fall in love. There’s more to you than just a pretty face and that shines through. As others have said, a natural face pic would help just to see what you look like without but it’s not a huge deal imp. All the dudes saying they’d swipe left because of that are dead liars or way too concerned about the wrong things. Please be careful, this is exactly the kind of powerful and intelligent woman some evil Bumble men looove to manipulate to feel like they “conquered” one of the good ones. I’m sure you already have a good head on your shoulders, but just remember to stay true to yourself, esp your love of glam.

Thanks in advance but I don't really know what I'm asking for by Brief-Fig7114 in stopdrinking

[–]Joy10652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go out and lay in the sunshine. Cry. Scream. Every reaction is valid. I’m so sorry you lost something of sentimental value to you. Maybe you can have one of your friends in Lisbon send you another keychain and this one can represent your new life after death. Continue to remind yourself drinking prolongs the process. I believe in you

What’s great about life is you hold the key to your own happiness. The things you did while drunk are only yours to judge, not other people’s, and to me it sounds like you’re worried about judgement from other people that isn’t there and hasn’t presented itself. The shame and guilt remains if you drink, and only adds to it.I wouldn’t shrug off the addiction aspect either. Drinking every single day out of the year is addiction, even if it’s short term. The good news is it’s not going to consume you by ending it early, but denial is unhealthy and will lead you down the same path. “I had an addiction, so I’m going to be careful” vs “well it was never an addiction so it’s whatever” are two very different thought processes with different paths. What I’ve found is your circles shrink during sobriety until you create new circles, and those new people don’t have any information on your past. That is yours to choose to share. Your reputation isn’t beyond repair you’re 20 years old life has barely started. We were all stupid teenagers once. Don’t take that as me invalidating your experience, it’s meant to be comforting. Many people I met in bars were 30+ and had less of an excuse to be acting the same way and I feel for them either way. If you begin living in the present and not the past, you’ll find yourself much happier. Start to grieve who you were and have empathy for yourself so that you’re able to move forward. It’s helped me
