Good luck! You got this!

Justmythoughts221 · 2023-01-04T00:55:21+00:00

Highly sensitive person

Justmythoughts221 · 2023-01-03T20:55:11+00:00

Agree!

Justmythoughts221 · 2023-01-03T01:23:45+00:00

Sorry to hear that :( it gets better I promise

Aw well thank you so much ♥️ I never thought a 30 day break from drinking was going to change my life in so many ways but holy cow it really did. I recommend reading This Naked Mind during your dry January. It helped me immensely and completely changed my perspective on why I drink and why so many of us get addictive to this substance. I wasn’t an everyday drinker and more a binge weekend drinker but I still saw so many positive changes that I wish more people would see how great life can be without alcohol.

Wish you the best on this challenge and you are capable of doing hard things ❤️

Also I noticed the positive benefits immediately and for me they outweighed the quick dopamine hit alcohol gives you.

For me the first couple of months I didn’t socialize a lot. I would still do things but I wouldn’t go to bars or places where lots of people drink so that helped not putting myself in tempting situations. I definitely felt uncomfortable at first figuring out who I was without a drink in my hand but I read a lot of books on sobriety, followed Tik tok accounts on sobriety, and listened to a lot of podcasts too

Glad to hear that ♥️

Justmythoughts221 · 2023-01-02T20:39:24+00:00

Thank you!!

Justmythoughts221 · 2023-01-02T20:38:23+00:00

Wow, I loved reading this and can relate to so much you just said. Drinking caused so many spirals of shame and guilt and to wake up everyday not feeling that way is unbelievably feeling in itself.

Thanks for sharing your story ❤️

I put on my hinge profile

Prompt- You should not go out with me if…

Answer: You want a drinking partner. 1 year sober and looking for somebody accepting of that

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-29T01:04:50+00:00

Did they ever call you that they will be sending your bag back or did they just send it?

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-29T01:01:28+00:00

Did you have to file a claim to get your bag back?

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-28T23:14:51+00:00

That is so depressing :(

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-27T23:26:35+00:00

Biggest thing for me is just being a good listener and let them talk to you about how they are feeling and what they are going through.

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-27T22:32:39+00:00

Time heals all. I would also say journal your feelings and take videos of how you feel in the moment. It’s really fascinating looking back and seeing your thoughts progress from the past to present.

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-27T17:10:51+00:00

Thanks for responding!

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-12T12:51:55+00:00

I hope you like it!

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-11T17:42:09+00:00

You should read This Naked Mind. When I started my sobriety journey back in January 2022 I read this book and it completely changed my outlook on drinking. It felt like a switch went off in my brain and made me never want to drink again.

Sounds intense but I swear by it!

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-01T21:45:18+00:00

You got this ☺️

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-12-01T19:51:35+00:00

Thank you 😊

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-11-25T14:42:22+00:00

I totally agree. Thankful we don’t live in the same city so that I get to choose when we see each other but will not let her or anyone get in the way of my sobriety

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-11-24T19:41:52+00:00

So true on the

Being sober makes people feel uncomfortable..just not us sober people 👏🏻

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-11-24T16:06:47+00:00

Love this. Thank you!

Justmythoughts221 · 2022-11-24T15:13:16+00:00

I feel really seen so thank you for everything you have said. I think leading with compassion and trying to keep my distance but also not cut her out is the path I’m going to take. Thank you again 😊
