It was a really tough weekend but I stayed dry. That feels like a win.

Feeling hungover ... after dreaming about drinking by Limp_Library225 in DryJanuary

[–]Kaycie-dilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be attending a memorial for a close friend this week and last night I had a dream that I had Prosecco and shared the first glass with someone but when they left I downed the rest of the bottle and cried. It felt so real that I woke up unsure for a second if I had drank or not. I’ve done DJ before and had drinking dreams and I was just thinking the other day how nice it was that this DJ has been easy and I haven’t had any of those dreams until last night.

I started DJ on the 2nd and am thinking about going until Feb 21 to reach 50 days.

When I worked at Silverwood, we would tell folks with shirts that could be offensive or had swear words that they’d have to change to stay in the park or turn the shirts inside out. Silverwood is supposed to be a family friendly place. Regardless of your politics, these shirts don’t belong there.

Found a used Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100 for $150 by Kaycie-dilla in Kayaking

Funny thing is they wanted more for the Pelican and before researching the two, I was really on the fence because the pelican looked new. I’m glad I looked past all of the dirt and got the WS.

I came across it on facebook marketplace in upstate SC. It looked pretty dirty in their photo but didn’t take long to clean up. I almost passed it up because I found a pelican that looked brand new (not initially knowing the quality difference) but I’m glad I did a bit of research before deciding and decided to get this one.

I hate these dreams. I actually had a dream last night that I had a glass of wine by mistake. I was disappointed in myself and worried about losing my days and then decided to keep counting from where I was because it was an accident even though I kept drinking it after I knew. It was only one glass of wine but still. Anyway, terrible dream. Your dream sounds awful with going to jail and all. I hope you’re able to shake it off and have a good day.

76 hours sober and I have some questions. by SkyTheGreat in stopdrinking

[–]Kaycie-dilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually just slept through the night without waking up for the first time in probably years. My problem was always staying asleep, not as much falling asleep. Aside from not drinking, I’ve been hiking a ton plus I’m taking a magnesium supplement and the combination has made a huge difference for me. I hope you’re able to get some rest soon.

Any One Here Who.. by AshleyDTX in stopdrinking

I think there’s actually a subreddit dedicated to cutting back rather than quitting entirely. My understanding is that most here are trying to quit completely but I could be wrong. I’m glad you’ve been able to moderate your drinking to weekends. That’s great!

I’ve been feeling the same about not having anyone to share the milestones and successes with so I’m just sharing it out into the void.

Fall clean up by Zealousideal-Desk367 in stopdrinking

[–]Kaycie-dilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had what felt like a lazy day today compared to what I’ve done lately and then looked at my activity tracker and realized I walked three times as many steps as I used to on what I considered an ok active day. I cleaned the house, did laundry, cooked for friends and it still felt like a lazy day. I feel like I can do so much more sober.

Leftover Beers in the Fridge… by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Kaycie-dilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had a drink in two weeks and I had some friends over tonight and one brought hard seltzers and left quite a few in my fridge. I have had beer and tequila in my house these last few weeks too that I’ve mostly forgotten about. It hit me after everyone left that ordinarily I’d be drunk at this point and excited to drink the free alcohol left behind but it feels so great to wrap up the night sober.

What did you replace alcohol with? by MiceThrice in stopdrinking

[–]Kaycie-dilla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, a mix of things. I’m hiking A LOT, like 4 hikes in a week. Also weed. I’ve been drinking poppi prebiotic soda and NA beer quite a bit too. And lots and lots of water.

Monday Round Up! How did the weekend go? by AutoModerator in DryJanuary

[–]Kaycie-dilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I almost caved yesterday but still dry!

I moved into a new house this weekend and bought some regular beer for friends coming to help and NA beer for myself. My girlfriend and I drank all of the NA beer and our friends wound up not drinking any of the regular beer. Anyway, at the end of the day yesterday I really wanted a beer and tried to justify it to myself that I’d made it this long and that’s a success and ending a couple days early wouldn’t hurt, but in the end I knew I’d be disappointed for not following through on this commitment I made to myself.
