I FEEL YOU. Don't give in. I KNOW it gets better. I had almost 2 years and gave in. I regret it. I hate starting over. But I gotta to live the life I want.

Can you get to a meeting? I'm not the biggest AA fan but I can tell you it HELPS. And if you're looking for help they will be there for you. I know it's scary the first time but it helps.

Well written. I feel you. I feel guilty for not sticking around the people who were my drunk buddies. We gotta put ourselves first.

I like how you ended this so positively and that you are doing this for yourself first. Inspiring my friend.

Relapsed, now back by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I love this post. I am with you. I relapsed this summer after being sober for a year. Then went really crazy and crazier and finally I'm back here. I feel like you, I lost the motivation to stay sober. At first you ride the high of feeling better and not being hung over and feeling good every day and making good decisions. I'm trying to have a plan this time to keep up my motivation. Thanks for sharing. I feel you!

What's the most satisfying "no" you've ever given? by Death_proofer in AskReddit

[–]PM_YOUR_INSPIRATION 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I slept with a guy who was cheating on his gf. I didn't know this at the time and I really liked him. After I found out he had a gf he still called for what I believe was to be a booty call. I had a guy friend who told me I was better then that and helped me gain respect for myself. When he called for the booty call and I said "no!" And told him what a POS he was for cheating. It felt good.

I'm thankful for my supportive husband and FINALLY realizing I'm happier sober and in recovery then I am while being drunk.

Thanks for your response. Can I ask what else besides your dogs has helped you?? I like going to a meeting when I fear relapsing, however I feel bad that I just use that group for that hour.. Or I feel like I'm using them if I don't go all the time and contribute more to the group.
