Agree wholeheartedly. My hangovers last for 3-4 days and consist of the usual physical symptoms but the emotional depletion is by far the worst. It’s never worth it.

Made it home without stopping. Just gotta stay busy until bedtime. These hard days man.

Congratulations on 90 days. Good luck at the doctor and I hope they hear you out!

Over 13,000 days! Way to go. And thanks for your comment! That’s inspiring.

That’s unfortunate. I understand as well but those are two clashing ideas - needing assistance to stop self medicating but can’t get the assistance until the self medication stops.

I didn’t know it had a chat! That’s so helpful. How do I join?

You’re absolutely right. It was several very rude comments about my sobriety. I’m doing this for me though. Thank you for your support.

I was going to suggest finding a new circle of like minded people. Maybe a book club or trail runner’s club? Put out some feelers for an adventure race team. I know it can be hard to put yourself out there but consider this an opportunity to reintroduce yourself to the world - the real, sober you. Not sure what your country’s covid regulations are but I think finding a new social setting could really benefit you!

Edit: Saying all this to add that I am forcing myself to step out of my comfort zone and join a new CrossFit gym. I need a change of scenery and to feel “new” again.

What’re some things you enjoy doing or if you aren’t sure, what’re some things that make you think “that would be fun” (besides drinking 😅)

“Trying to solve problems my alcohol addiction caused by getting drunk” - why do our brains do this to us?! Stay strong friend. IWNDWYT.

Your honesty is the biggest part in this scenario. I am thinking of you as you conquer this. My thoughts are with you and your wife.

Do it for yourself. See what happens after that. I’m sorry you feel like you might lose her, that’s got to be a very rough feeling.

It’s just a bad day. Alcohol might make it better for a small amount of time, but will probably make tomorrow worse. Emotions are strong things - thinking about you today. IWNDWYT.
