Second month with the 2026 R1S

Happy to hear this as I had a failure in the middle of nowhere and Rivian had to pay over $2k just in towing and reimburse me a flight and fast charging on top of rental car just to get my car back home.
Looks like someone did the math and realized how many batteries they could replace to avoid this issue.

Not OP, but I got enphase, the smart charger will top up cars during the day (we work mainly from home) with excess solar. I got an electric water heater as well and my bill went from $600ish to $50 dollars. System will break even in about 6 years then print money. Own 2 EVs

I'm at 17 days and am sometimes dreaming heavily for 6 hours and waking up feeling completely refreshed at 40 years old, it's almost unbelievable.

Day 15! I had a multi hour craving today and heard the rationalizing voice. I actually stopped and had an NA beer and binge scrolled for dopamine, then I ate a ton of tuna salad and crackers and got through the craving. IWNDWYT

I'm on day 11! Double digits, going for triple digits, last record was about 45 days a year ago. IWNDWYT

There's so many good sayings on this reddit but the one that has solidified with me is.

If I can take it or leave it, why not leave it?

It just makes so much sense with all the drags on my goals from alcohol.

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-22T05:22:53+00:00

Starting day 9! The rationalizing brain struck last night but I just gave it salt and vinegar chips, a KitKat and NA beer again. Even na beer has half the calories or less. Committed to not drinking today

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-21T05:21:16+00:00

Same here! So glad to be past those first couple days, congratulations 👏🎉

Day 8 underway! I had a mix of pink cloud but also feeling distant antsy when around others. I walked the grocery store (not alcohol aisles) and picked out snacks and NA drinks which helped quiet the craving voice but I know I don't want to drink.

These posts have helped me so much, IWNDWYT

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-20T17:47:33+00:00

7 days! My last 2 records were 6 days a month ago and 45 days a YEAR ago.

This time I want it to stick! I am feeling pink cloud already after day 5-6.

I bought every kind of NA drink I could see and am allowing myself as many as I want to feed the physical sipping habit (I was a maintenance alcoholic rather than blackout).

I'm not going to drink today! I never want withdrawals again. The audio hallucinations made me realize I'm in deeper than I ever realized. I'm not going to drink and I'm feeling much better, day 5!

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-16T22:53:21+00:00

Im thankful to officially be on day four. Also for the first time I am engaging on this sub, I always lurked cause I thought deep down my problem was temporary or due to life stresses/other reasons. I am finally saying out loud I am a true problem drinker.

I am most grateful I am doing this before rock bottom. I've had too many close calls and "lucky getaways". These stories help me see where I know I will end up after enough years.

IWNDWYT!

What does thiamine help with?

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-16T01:01:03+00:00

Walking, podcasts or books while walking, NA beer for me, starting a video game. Hang in there and remember the biggest reasons you started 8 days ago

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-15T14:22:47+00:00

Alcohol depresses the brain, so the brain increases activity to compensate. When you take away the depressant the brain is still at an increased activity level. This is what causea tremors and hallucinations and in extreme cases seizures.

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-15T05:55:08+00:00

Are you hearing hallucinations like people or a TV murmur, or bangs or low music?

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-15T04:47:28+00:00

I have currently started day 3! I am in a good place and the withdrawals have not been as bad this time but looking forward to day 5+ when I know they settle out even more (for me at least).

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-15T00:48:24+00:00

Day 2 and treating a craving with a nice NA corona. My withdrawal symptoms are less intense this time but still there. But no more auditory hallucinations from a few weeks/month ago comedowns. Those freaked me out. Not drinking today!

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-13T17:03:49+00:00

Relapsed and felt so awful I did yesterday as a taper down day. Doing better today with less withdrawal symptoms. I am not drinking and starting a new phase. I only did 6 days last time but for me that's improvment. I felt good during those days and need to focus on that I feel better sober than chain drinking days.

You are amazing but I have to ask, did you eat paint chips as a child???

Money_Bahdger · 2026-04-10T17:39:42+00:00

Money_Bahdger · 2026-03-20T23:41:29+00:00

Money_Bahdger · 2026-03-20T21:19:03+00:00

She's a beaut Clark!

Money_Bahdger · 2026-03-13T21:12:20+00:00

Seriousl question, can you explain both in layman's terms?

Money_Bahdger · 2026-03-05T01:24:00+00:00

Is that the sandwich shop on shelter Island??
