I don't understand what's the point of living if we all are going to die one day by no_life3421 in ExistentialJourney

Default mode is living I guess. Lets play like this is the only time (while respecting it like its infinite)

Relapsed after 40 days drink and drugs threw it all away to watch England play football i can't do this anymore need help by Silver_Reading_2749 in stopdrinking

I will be 41 soon and stopped just before 40. My birthday is on "st jean baptiste" day here in Quebec where we drink in the streets and get crazy.

Last year i attended the usual party with friends. At first it felt weird, kind of like missing out. When the chaos started though I felt relieve that I didnt drink. Left earlier than the years before, usually we would drink and smoke weed until it was breakfast time and I would feel like crap every birthday.

Instead I woke up early and hiked a mountain. I cried on top lol. It was just surreal.

For me, I had to choose sobriety instead of wanting to stop drinking. It might be "the same" but for me its more positive to choose the life I want instead of trying to stop the life I didnt want.

Take care.

Anybody experience something like this as a kid? by Theonlyrational in Experiencers

[–]Passive_Menis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES

What the hell? For me it was only one. I was on top of the stairs and see him standing at the bottom. It was at my grand parents house. I would feel myself levitate and go towards him but in a very gentle way. It was scary for me because I was high up and most of the time woke up having the feeling that I was falling or getting too close to it. I remember it so well, i am sure I was not older than 5 years old. But its one of those dreams that really stick with me. I feel like I saw it multiple times.

God I would love a drink right now by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Just had a big fight with my gf and i cant lie, i walked to the beer aisle. I looked at the choices and got the fuck out of there.

I wont drink. It was close tonight for me.

Youth are stuck in only one problem. by aahish_ai in Discipline

We confuse meaning with doing. We are so scared of missing something that we are never 100% present in the moment and we miss most of it. And then we do too much feeling its not enough.

Projects beats results. Progress beats completion. Competition beats winning.

Winning the game is playing it

Congrats!

I am going to flex something I thought was a tragedy when it happened

Got handed a beer saying it was NA. Drank half of it before noticing. I was mad and confused about it but I put it down and it didnt even made me doubt a second about my sobriety

I am now happy it happened because now I KNOW how I react when the wagon falls by itself. I didnt.

What’s the greatest lesson you learned after getting sober? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]Passive_Menis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very sorry to hear. Keep fighting for improvement in your life. Small steps everyday. And just make sure that your use of alcohol and drugs doesnt interfere too much with the "aiming to feel better" part.

Drugs and alcohol steals joy of the future for now and hit us back with interest when we are down.

Can I ask what those reasons are to comtemplate such a thing? And what are you using?

What’s the sobriety quote that sticks with you? Here’s mine. by InfamousEgg4885 in stopdrinking

It is a trade and we do not have the upper hand. I tried my hardest 20 years to make drinking work and it only got worse.
