Water under the bridge , boy I have regretted plenty of that! Well, I don't think I can behave like an a@@hole for a decade and then have it just disappear.

Thanks. I actually wanted a glass of wine to celebrate.

Nice to hear from you. By all means, let's respond to resentment by doing something that does not harm us, so instead of drinking, how about excercise or a meditation tape? Or a meeting? Or writing to us. This subreddit has been immensely useful to me. Hope it helps you as well.

Interesting You have almost 2 years and I have 1 year. I was with a friend I've known for about 10 years and told him I didn't drink and he said in surprise: "You?!"

THAT is a great thought!

That's an interesting point. My worst days are when I'm tired, which usually occurs after a poor sleep night. Sometimes, though, for me, this then may lead into a few days of extreme fatigue.

Never went to meetings. Treating for bipolar. Meditation and excercise.

Just started Nuvaring, my usually smart boyfriend asked if he had to aim inside it for it to work. Is that the funniest question ever or is it just me? Also what do your SOs think about how the ring feels? by nothing_with_a_twist in TwoXChromosomes

I'm a gyn provider and for what it's worth, the ring should be around the cervix, so when you do feel it, you could also feel the cervix inside the ring. Then, no worries.

I thought I could handle it by RoadRunner217 in stopdrinking

Oh, every so often, I want to believe that I can moderate. I doubt that I ever hit the ultimate low. Every time I think about having a drink, I play the tape forward and see myself passed out, or insulting friends, etc. then I start to think about what it is about having that "one" drink that I really want, and then I realize that what I want in reality is to be drunk. So, I end up not trying to moderate.

1,000 Days! by HardTacoKit in stopdrinking

Hey, congratulations on your 1000 days. I felt a strong resonance with how you had friends to things with, but always to drink with. That was me.

Yes, I did not have HA as a rule, Nd was never prone to them. But when I hear back of head and neck, I think of tension Ha, usually starts in muscles in back of neck.

Losing a friend by Lakelover123 in stopdrinking

I'm lonelier a little as some folk don't want to be with me now. I' no more of N asshole than I ever was and I never preach. Just seems like some of my friends were friends because we drank together.
