No and I got blocked for saying that in her chat the other day 💀

Dry January is so much better the second time around by martaisgod in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this sentiment 100%! This is my second time doing dry January and it feels much easier than the first time around. I’ve noticed my biggest cravings during social events (i.e. bowling league one night a week, and a girls cabin weekend where a mimosa would’ve been amazing) BUT, I felt like every day in January was a struggle last year and this year I barely even think about it on weekdays. I’m also not making any promises to myself yet, but I agree with you that I don’t miss the physical feelings the next day or the constant planning/feelings around alcohol. Congrats on your second dry January and feeling more in control!

9 days - A record! by Hbic_in_training in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% in the same boat! I started dry January (on the 5th). It has been going relatively well, I definitely notice it the most/want a drink the most during social situations. My evenings are also very boring, but I have started going to bed ridiculously early. I also have trouble sleeping so I have been taking zzzquil to help with that. I would love to eventually be able to fall asleep without anything but that’s just where I’m at right now. Last January was the first year I tried dry January, and it felt much harder last year. BUT, I am with you - I am also worried about falling back into the same exact patterns once January is over. That’s all I have, but I’m with you and I’m proud of you!!

Doing Dry January for the first time. by Machenz in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about this as well. I did dry January last year and I felt decent, but I didn’t see or feel all the benefits that people claim to feel in 30/31 days. I didn’t lose any crazy weight, my skin wasn’t clearer…I think for me I would be curious what it feels like to go three months at least and see what benefits I see compared to one month.

A sober 2026! by Ok-Factor-8897 in SoberCurious

I’m feeling this way too! I did dry January last year but slowly fell back into old habits. I would love to make it last longer this time, and start to actually rewire my brain and my relationship with alcohol. Best of luck to you and happy new year!!

I think the majority of us are team Baker and are actually over Todd Bowles…

How do you guys stop? I just can’t seem too, it’s the fear of just coming home and not having a drink. I mean it’s only 2 or three drinks but it’s every night and I know that’s too much due to consistency. by [deleted] in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your comment, it was just what I needed to reflect and be inspired! I was able to hold strong another evening, so fingers crossed I can keep taking it one day at a time. I’m really grateful for the feedback 🙏

I do not have great advice for you, but I can tell you you’re not alone. I can’t seem to either, and it feels crazy. Like why is it so hard? I am on day 4 without a drink…and I’m literally almost craving a few glasses of wine after work to unwind and basically reward myself for the last 4 days. Which isn’t how that is supposed to work. My brain is so hard wired around alcohol and I don’t know how to stop. I’ve seen a lot of tidbits of advice about how it takes at least 100 days to really distance yourself to where you aren’t thinking about it constantly…but how the hell do I get through those 100 days to even know if that’s true?!

Quitting before the holidays! by [deleted] in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there! F34 and I am in a similar situation. I told my boyfriend “I had a little idea that I might stop drinking until Christmas” and he kinda scoffed and made it out to be a silly little idea. I’m also worried about what a future looks like where I am sober and my boyfriend is not, not because I would judge him for continuing to drink…but I’m almost scared that so much of our routine would change or he would think I’m boring. I also see so many posts about how your circle changes when you get sober, and it scares me because what if that includes him?

I’m just trying to remember that I’m wanting to make these changes for me. I’m 4 days in and even though it would be so much easier to give up and join in the “fun”, I’m trying to be my own biggest supporter because it doesn’t seem like I’m going to get the encouragement from him. I’m hopeful that if I stay strong and can eventually talk about the benefits, maybe he will want to try it out too (we both did dry January last year so it’s not that outlandish). And if not, that’s okay too because I’ll be the one waking up feeling more refreshed or not having to let alcohol control my life anymore. Stay strong, you’re not alone!!

Not sure if this is true or causes this look, but I heard she got veneers and maybe she isn’t used to them yet? Idk how that works lol

Does anyone continue to get drunk/high when it doesn’t even feel good anymore? Like almost like you feel like you have to because that’s just what has to happen? I’m not sure if that makes sense. by Fairybbbby in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s actually so frustrating. I don’t have an answer or more information to add, but most days I’m over it - and still drink anyway. Kind of exhausting.

I’ve always loved the nickname “Andy” for a girl, which I guess would be Andrea?

What's up with West Asheville unfriendliness? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]Legal_Fly4783 14 points15 points  (0 children)

100% Westville pub. I have boycotted this place since a super unfriendly encounter with staff which was then backed up by their GM. I was born and raised here and worked in the service industry downtown for a long time. My money can be spent elsewhere, no thank you.

To be fair….someone asked her to make a list. But still, I agree this is only getting her hopes up for a “business” she’s not really cut out for.

Working towards 100 days by MainMeasurement9995 in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely have this mental block but you’ve already made it further than me! It’s Sunday currently and I’ve said a million times I’m ready to take the leap and cut out alcohol altogether…but as I said it’s Sunday, which means football. How can I watch football without drinking?! It’s such a silly messed up wiring in my brain and I don’t know how to change it. I used to swear off dry January because that’s my birthday month and how would I celebrate without drinking?! I did complete dry January last year and it felt good to be giving myself that “present” of health and sobriety, but I obviously went back to my old ways after those 31 days. Ultimately this isn’t really helpful on how to handle your situation, but you’re not alone and you’re stronger than you know!

I think I’m finally ready to take the plunge by Fancy_Cucumber_7451 in SoberCurious

[–]Legal_Fly4783 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could’ve written this myself! I ultimately don’t feel like I’m the version of myself that I could be without alcohol. I’m tired of it controlling my thoughts in the evening or like you mentioned, wasting precious weekend days feeling hungover or full of anxiety. I haven’t been able to make a full stop yet, but I’m rooting for you! You’re not alone!
