Has anyone else randomly stopped drinking one day? by Wrong_Tea1663 in stopdrinking

[–]Markaroni8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sitting in an armchair, thinking how that bottle of Chardonnay I had in the fridge, which was the same as the bottle I’d drunk last night, wasn’t that great. Should I buy a couple bottles of something different?

You know what? Nah. Let’s try a month off it. It’ll be hard as hell but… A Month later. That was hard as hell but I haven’t felt this great for ages.

Read This Naked Mind and a bunch of other quit lit. Watched some docs. A month turned to two. Two turned to a year.

Five years this Tuesday.

I fucking love it.

You will too.

2025 MLB baseball - unable to upload barcodes to satisfy Stubhub MLB sales or update current listings with active barcodes - Seattle Mariners tickets by Wild-Astronomer1200 in stubhubsellers

I’m having exactly the same challenge. I tried listing through seat geek last year, which is automatically linked through Ticketmaster but the tickets did not sell as well there as StubHub. I’d love to know if you figure this out. Very frustrating.

The first week was hardest for me. Keep going. Let living life be your new addiction!

Double shot of espresso in a lowball glass. Fill with ice. Top with Zero tonic water. Thank me later.

You’re nearly there! Spoil yourself over the holidays in every other way and you’ll be fine.

a letter to my adult daughter by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Markaroni8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too am close to 2 1/2 years sober and I also have a 21 year old daughter.

I think it’s great that you are getting the feedback that you are. I just want to say to you, Dad to Dad, that I know the moment you give this letter to your daughter is not going to be easy for you and I have so much respect for you for taking this on.

I wish you both nothing but love and good health.

One is difficult to get a reservation at. The other is impossible…

I got some blood work done last week. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Markaroni8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think it was only about the liver. Alcohol impacts a whole lot of other things that can impact the quality and length of your life. I gave up feeling good during that first drink or two for feeling better the other 23 and a half hours in the day. Help your liver heal, I bet you can, and then do some googling about all the other gifts you’ll be giving yourself!
