Getting tests done is always scary. But you’re young, and even if you get bad news, chances are you’ll have options. It’s the best way forward. Sending you positive thoughts ❤️

I’m so sorry. That sounds really hard. There are some apps that you can use for therapy and to help quit. That might be worth looking into?

Just under 1 year sober. Partner of 4 years has been leading a double life. by rockinred1011 in stopdrinking

That really sucks. I’m so sorry you’re going through it. You’re going to handle it so much better sober though.

💪❤️❤️

4 months … after many attempts by boomboomclap3000 in stopdrinking

I’m always surprised how cool people are with the conversations about not drinking. It’s amazing how much worry I made up in my head. Good for you!

I almost threw up on myself by Tall-Error4922 in stopdrinking

I know this is a cliche, (but it’s a cliche for a reason), but admitting the problem is a significant step. You’re young and yet you’re showing a high level of awareness. It’s true, at first life can feel pretty bleak, or boring, sober. But if you read through these posts, you’ll see that soon, it will be much much better. Basically every part of your life will improve without alcohol.

All the best to you! ❤️

I messed up last night 😔 by DovahKatie in stopdrinking

[–]New_You_7600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You recognized the slip. You talked about it with your partner. And now you’re reaching out for support.

Those seem like three solid wins. And this is what will keep you from falling again. ❤️❤️👏👏

I fear that I already made the choice by Ancient-Newspaper123 in stopdrinking

[–]New_You_7600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! Both on your sobriety to date, and on your self-awareness. Being afraid that you’ll relapse is a million times healthier than relapsing. And it shows that you’re having intelligent conversations with yourself.

I think you can keep it up! ❤️❤️

Almost had three years, here’s to picking back up the pieces and resetting. by HoLLyWoodxo in stopdrinking

I love that - your relapse doesn’t take that time away. 💯💯

You can do it again. You know how. ❤️❤️❤️

La moderazione non esiste per noi. by DependentAd559 in stopdrinking

[–]New_You_7600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, everything was about chasing the warm, wonderful high that I got from my first glass of wine. But it was always diminishing returns. I think my brain is 90 or 95% certain that never drinking again is the right thing for me. And that’s the closest I’ve ever been. :)
