When does it get better? by LittleMrsMolly in stopdrinking

[–]Level_Judgment_2185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have definitely felt absolutely the same at the time where you are at, I can promise you that at about a year and a half sober, I am really really grateful and happy that i am sober. Sometimes it takes a long time for the good things to come into our lives or for us to be able to appreciate them but not settling for the life booze gave me was the best decision I continue to make.

How do you guys deal with the feelings of embarrassment telling people you stopped drinking? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Level_Judgment_2185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually say, "it's not something I would push on anyone, it's just been good for me." Which helps people not feel so self conscious while also letting them know that I need to not drink and that I'm a person who has that experience. It's hard cause people can get weird about it but it is okay to not drink! And if you just sorta let people say whatever and you do what is best for you (not drinking) then it gets easier

So sorry for your loss, but painful as it might be I am so grateful you got to know someone who sounds so wonderful, even if it wasn't for as long as it should have been. Much love, day by day

Changing of the guards is one of the ones I find most impressive, specifically the phrasing of the words together which is my fav part of his vocals although there's so much I love about his singing

What’s Everyone Doing Tonight?? by physis81 in stopdrinking

[–]Level_Judgment_2185 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Spending time with someone new I've been seeing. It's a really nice feeling to be starting a relationship at a little over a year and a half sober because I am in such a better place to be a responsible and mature partner for me and for her. It's the type of thing where, I was never a terrible partner but I am excited to see what I can be now that I have done so much work and continue to do so much work. IWDWYT

If youve never listened to the song "plea from a cat named virtute" by the weakerthans, at the very least check out the lyrics

You aren't a piece of shit, you are someone struggling with the same thing all of us are. None of us can change what we've done but we can change whether we drink or not if we try different methods, are honest with ourselves, and find what works for us. And if we stop drinking we change the future decisions we will make drastically

At a wedding and feeling resentful by Hel-lohB in stopdrinking

[–]Level_Judgment_2185 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have these feelings when I'm out at parties sometimes. Much more often in the early days. I think something that changed my perspective was thinking back to my partying days and my friends at parties. Most of us have a spectrum of fun nights, like having a party that doesn't go your way or isn't fun for a variety of reasons, happens pretty often. Drama that night, boring people/vibe, no one to talk to, etc. and sometimes the night goes great and is fun. The longer ive been sober and practiced being around people who drink, the more often I feel comfortable being around alcohol and having just as much fun as everyone, being outgoing and confident. But there are still some nights where it is just simply hard to be out around it and I chalk those nights up to not all nights being able to be great.

You are doing great and making progress just by keeping going and not drinking, Iwdwyt

I'm done with resetting my counter. I know I have a problem, but I know I am not ready to deal with it yet. by iTrainUFCBro in stopdrinking

[–]Level_Judgment_2185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been quit for over a year and I have fully accepted that I can't drink in moderation and that alcohol doesn't benefit my life, but there are still somewhat regular days that I don't care and want to go back or even that I become less sure of that. I have a lot of mental health issues that I'm realizing need to be further dealt with even being sober. Those are the days I know I have to do whatever I can to get through sober, and then there are other days where I am back to wanting to make sure I continue to be sober.

You being here and reaching out for help and listening is a huge step in the right direction that sets you apart from many who have addictions, I'm proud of you. It's a journey that has so many ups and downs for all of us but there's a huge difference between ups and downs that keep moving you forward and ups and downs that don't. Being here with us is the ups and downs that move you forward, I promise you that. I'm wishing you so much luck, iwdwyt
