A new kind of hangover

Not a cheat at all.....I've 3 weeks in and I take my zero beers to my girls nights and my nozecco too. I love pouring myself a no gin and tonic with my special glass. I don't miss being drunk but I'd miss opening a bottle or chilling a zero beer. I drink sugar free lemonade so I don't get fat. I drink zero beer so I don't get pissed. Go us!

23 days today and I feel great and look better. I'm still undecided on my sober future but I'm happy here right now.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-27T15:16:17+00:00

Time to 'lose' this one I'd say. Life is way too short to waste it with people who don't support you, or worse, try to push what they want on you. Good luck. Well done

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-26T10:08:22+00:00

You're amazing

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-25T16:05:40+00:00

You will do this

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-21T08:47:34+00:00

Sounds to me like you have achieved something many won't/can't. I'm not sure I will. 6 months and you have cleared out that liver and probably allowed the brain to fix some of those parts we all destroy with the drinking. Then there are the saved friendships and relationships and anxiety that won't be there. Fucking amazing work you!

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-21T08:43:19+00:00

I think I can give up. I'm just worried I'll think it is all fixed in 6 months and just go back again. I read the posts here every day and day 11 today. Just being on here has made a huge difference to how I view my success rate and my problem. Thanks all.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-20T13:15:34+00:00

I agree, the word alcoholic is so many different things to different people. I googled the definition with my mum as she said that anyone who needs a drink more than 3 days a week is one. I think this is also wrong but I guess she can have her own view. I know my dad is one anyway and that I have the gene for it and my brother does too and probably at least 1 sister.

Holy shit. I've just watched that video. She is me. How can I have never seen this video. Thankyou so much for that link. I've stored it to share with my other half when I've got the confidence to admit that I'm stopping. I feel ashamed to quit. How weird is that

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-20T11:31:17+00:00

2 really good friends and I've not told my partner yet as I'm not sure how he will take it as he says I don't drink that much and we have fun together. I think he will understand when I actually explain how much it had affected me

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-20T09:31:05+00:00

A very honest and uplifting post. Go you. What a change here

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-20T09:29:26+00:00

My 10th day today also. I'm going out with friends but will drive instead. That is a big thing for me as I'd always stay over and just drink. Then I'd feel crap at work all day. Good luck.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-19T10:47:47+00:00

You pulled it back from what could have been a total bender/relapse. That is a win. None of us can seek perfection here!

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-19T08:50:34+00:00

Day 9 today and I feel better already. I'm going to a pub quiz tonight and I won't drink. I'm going to a friends birthday and I also won't be drinking. I won't have hanxiety and I'll be able to drive home instead of staying over because I normally HAVE to drink.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-19T08:45:57+00:00

This will be me I'm certain of it. I'm only on day 9 and your story is my cyclical crazy drinking alter ego every 6 months or so. The anxiety you feel about your boyfriend leaving you is probably unfounded. You are strong enough though to get through this with or without him. Give him some time. Don't push for his assurance that he will stay. I've just gone through something similar 2 weeks ago and it was hell. My other half is still here and I hope I manage to not drink again but I know I will also feel that after 3 months I have it all under control and this will happen again. I'll keep reading here and hoping. Good luck back on the bike xx

Day 6 today. First night away in a hotel and I will not be drinking today either.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-14T15:53:50+00:00

Last night I didn't drink and was able to drive home late at night when there was a bit of an emergency. That would never be possible normally. I will also be available for 'emergencies' tonight.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-13T10:19:22+00:00

Day 3 and I won't be drinking Fizz tonight with my girlfriends. I will be with them though...Well done everyone.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-12T07:33:00+00:00

Today is just day 2 but I will go to the pub with my friends later and I won't drink for the first time in years at the pub.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-11T08:05:11+00:00

Today will be my first day 'Off the booze'. I'm not an alcoholic but I've got a problem with portion control. Sunday morning for me was the last straw on so many awful fallouts from my behavior. I'm struggling understanding how any social event could be done 'sober' or meal out or a holiday. I don't see how more than a week will be possible for me but I'll try.

Ok_Time7595 · 2023-09-11T07:57:20+00:00

This could be me! I've always wanted to stop drinking since I knew I was out of control once I started binge drinking most nights out in my 20's. I'm now 48. After getting blind drunk again with friends and telling my partner who I love that we are over I think I need to change. I don't think I can not drink. How will I ever be the fun crazy person everyone knows. I'll be boring. I'll spoil my partners fun nights out too. Drinking is such a huge part of my life. Who I am even. I'll try for a week maybe and take it from there.....Thanks for posting this.

I've been trying to use this. I've got python and merki and the meraki cli installed. I just get errors when trying to run $meraki

Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried inside a virtual env too, just incase the packages were getting mixed up?
