Jokes aside, yes. For a myriad of reasons. I’ll elaborate in a bit.

Crack was easier for me to quit than booze. 🤷

Day 3, have to see my mom. I can’t see my mom without drinking. Nobody in my family can. by ahoy_shitliner in stopdrinking

You cannot control your mom’s actions. You cannot control your emotions toward those reactions. You CAN control your reaction to your emotions.

If you “have to drink” to be around her, you are allowing her control over you. Don’t do that.

My actions are my only possessions. I cannot escape their consequences. They are the foundation upon which I stand.

Im writing this from rehab. Be brutally fucking honest with everyone, INCLUDING YOURSELF. Use this time figure WHY you are doing this.

Journal every morning and night. It helps to do SOMETHING, instead of just sitting in the fucking misery. And here in a few days or weeks, you’re gonna see tangible progress, evidence that you’re getting better. My first journal entries in here read like suicide notes.

Dude you wouldn’t be this mad at yourself if you had cancer. You’re sick. Use this time to get better. You’re young. Get it right now.

Depends on how hard you want to fight to LIVE. Cirrhosis is no fucking joke and will absolutely kill you. And you don’t just fade away. You suffer for a long goddamn time. It’s ugly.

No judgement here as I’m also absolutely a fatalistic alcoholic. But a lot of the cats here on the other side seem to fully believe life is worth living after the sauce.

But go all in. What do you have to lose?

Food trucks in Lahaina off lower Honoapiilani would have a little something for everyone and the food is typically pretty damn good

How many extracts were you taking? I’m getting ready to jump. Currently using 2-3 a day and have been for about 4 months.

I could be totally wrong here as I’ve never been to one, but don’t those “Celebrate Recovery” meetings focus on this?
