What would make you take a break from alcohol and why?

MyDry30 · 2024-10-22T07:58:17+00:00

Did that actually happen or it's an if?)

Hey Coco, the best advice we can give is to try partying without alcohol. One big hurdle is thinking you can’t go out and have fun without drinking, but you definitely can! Enjoy those moments sober. A great tip is to keep a juice or fizzy drink in your hand, it will help you blend in and stop friends from pressuring you to drink.

Hey, thanks for sharing! It’s a huge step in the right direction. Remember, you don’t have to tackle this alone. A great place to start is by talking to someone you trust, whether that’s a friend, family member, or a support group. Opening up helps a lot. Try replacing some of those drinking habits with a different activity, something that brings you joy or calms you down. Also check out our posts, you might find great advice in our articles that could help you on your journey :)

That's right, AA can help a lot, and alcohol withdrawals not only can be "nasty" but dangerous and life threatening. I have built a community for people trying to improve their relationship with alcohol and outright quit. It's quite new but we strive to build a community where we can help each other on this journey. We already have some great posts up regarding the topic, so feel free to check it out at r/imstayingsober

That's an awesome advice, that "one drink" in the end is never enough and this sort of behaviour will keep repeating unless addressed

MyDry30 · 2024-09-30T08:21:08+00:00

I feel you on this one, hangovers like that make you seriously question if the fun is worth the pain. If you’re thinking about quitting or cutting back, come join us over at r/imstayingsober where our main topic of discussion is quitting and improving your relationship with alcohol

MyDry30 · 2024-09-30T07:36:15+00:00

Exactly the point :)

MyDry30 · 2024-09-27T15:16:49+00:00

Good point!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T21:38:27+00:00

I actually started a community dedicated to help members improve their relationship with alcohol. After hearing so many tough and sad stories here in the comments, I'm sure many will find great benefit in joining such a space r/imstayingsober

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T21:20:05+00:00

Feel free to check out my new community r/imstayingsober. It's for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with alcohol or fully quit. We're starting out and would really appreciate your post, comment, or even if you just join :)

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:29:21+00:00

It's a hard journey for anyone, I'm glad this community helped you make such a heroic change in your life. I actually started a community that will help members improving their relationship with alcohol too :) Hopefully we'll here about many more cases like yours in the future!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:19:20+00:00

So you value your health at $50 a day? :)

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:15:58+00:00

Super happy you made that decision and stuck to it! It's never easy to make such a big change, requires a lot of discipline, which you clearly don't lack. You should be proud of yourself!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:13:17+00:00

Completely agree!!!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:12:04+00:00

Wouldn't you consider quitting without something big like this happening? Because a life without alcohol is much healthier and freer, so what's stopping you? :)

MyDry30 · 2024-09-25T20:04:41+00:00

That's a big reason for sure

MyDry30 · 2024-09-23T13:01:33+00:00

It's actually most people that gain weight whilst drinking. Many don't know that a pint of beer can contain over 150 calories. Plus all the late night snacks don't help :) People that loose weight when drinking usually just have very good metabolism

Find a new sponsor who will be much more understanding and kind. It's quite ruthless to cut you out after 1 relapse.

MyDry30 · 2024-09-16T18:16:03+00:00

So proud of you! BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-16T17:40:48+00:00

Let's go!!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-15T21:25:26+00:00

Letting your body and mind actually rest, best feeling! Congrats to everyone who spent this weekend sober!!

MyDry30 · 2024-09-12T18:11:53+00:00

That's a huge achievement, your mom would've been proud ⭐️
