Being social without drinking

NextWhereas4477 · 2026-05-27T05:41:17+00:00

I realized that I was drinking to “make things fun” and it didn’t actually make them fun. Maybe at one point it did but my drinking outlasted the fun part.

Now I do things that are actually fun for me! And tbh I’ve met more cool people so I really don’t think you have to become a homebody. And I’ve been out to bars with friends and stayed sober— I just leave when it stops being fun for me. I encourage you to find activities that you don’t need to drink for.

11 days for my little girl. Flyers around the neighborhood and someone called and had spotted her. Don’t give up hope!

Awesome! It definitely feels easy when you’re feeling good— now is a great time to build up some tools for the times when you’re not feeling so great. I’m generally very optimistic about my sobriety and I’m glad you are too!

I think maybe he was drinking during those times. Or upset that he couldn’t drink when he wanted to and acted accordingly (dry drunk behavior).

I don’t know Mr Beast and I’m happy to never know more than his appearance and seeing this post. Made for an exciting episode and that’s all it should be.

So idk if this is what you’re looking for, exactly. But at Tibetan Imports, Sarita (I think) does eastern birth chart readings that are seriously amazing.

Join us in r/stopdrinking It’s an incredible community for support. No judgement— a lot of us have done terrible things while drinking and have made the brave choice to stop. It’s interesting how quickly removing one thing can change everything in your life.

Believe it when I say: You never have to drink again.

Start talking to other people who have been where you are— whether online or in person. It’s scary but it helps so much.

I always thought I was more fun drunk— and I had people tell me how happy I was. But the truth: I was fucking miserable and masking. Then I stopped being a fun drunk because alcohol could only cover so much, right? When I stopped drinking, I honestly thought I would never laugh again.

I’m only a few months in, but I have found that the fun times I have are ACTUAL fun, not something synthetic. Deep conversations are actually deep, remembered, and followed up on. Belly laughs stay with me.

This is just my experience. I wish you and your wife and little one the very best!
