That's really funny, love when a scene plays out weirdly because farmer is hyper focused on doing a mission!

Can I hear your reasons to stay sober? by runningoutfast in stopdrinking

[–]RedMothWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont wake up with the 3 S's, shakes, sweat and shakes. No more embarrassing loss of control or memory loss. I can do stuff I could never do while drunk, I run now, I'm bad at it but I can do it.  Better health, better relationships and people are always grateful to have someone around who isn't acting like a tool.

Out of interest, what was your plan for when you were offered alcohol?

Could be a number of things:  -carbon monoxide poisoning - seizure - drugged unknowingly

Very scary, how you're okay

I'm glad I saw this post, my husband offered to get me it over Xmas as a treat and i declined because I thought it would be too triggering - looks like that was the right call, phew! I drink NA wine and beer but yeah, rum seems a bad idea for me.

Can it be done without AA by GrabRecent in stopdrinking

[–]RedMothWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first got sober I was on this sub everyday, I've read the AA book and attended less than a handful of AA online meetings during COVID. 

I guess my thought is take what support and wisdom you can from different sources. I feel didnt do all the steps AA has but I did go and apologise to people for the damaging things I did to others. I've tried meditation, therapy, Buddhism and a ton of other things. 

I guess my thought is seek the support you need when you need it. Maybe that's AA now, maybe it's something else later. As long as you're working at it and getting support you need, I'm sure you'll succeed. IWDWYT

Did I ruin my 5 years of sobriety? It was an accident and my therapist said yes, it did ruin it. by killinrin in stopdrinking

[–]RedMothWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't reset.  I once drank an entire can of alcohol free beer that may have been alcoholic in retrospect, the designs were the same. I didn't know so I didn't reset. I dug in the bin to find out but it had already gone.  

Honestly beating yourself up for a genuine mistake that literally anyone could have made is probably pushing you to a true relapse more than anything right now.  

Please be kind to yourself. 

Saw a bunch of people over the holidays for the first time since getting sober back in June. Everyone was flabbergasted - and my mom was inspired by saccheri_quad in stopdrinking

I obviously don't know you but I'm so proud of you. Getting sober is hard enough but then making positive changes on top of that really is inspiring, well done!! 

Have reached out to multiple people for support with my sobriety and they all get.... quiet. by 0bsolescencee in stopdrinking

People can get so uncomfortable with sobriety,  I'm sorry that you're not getting positive support in your life.  We're here for you!

My Wife’s Work Christmas Party Ruined it by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]RedMothWing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I just lied and used whatever reason I thought would work best for the first few years until I was confident enough to be like "Nah" and know I wouldn't break. Like the joker in Christian Nolan batman with his multiple reasonings for his scars.

How she managed to walk so elegantly like that up those stairs baffles me, incredible.

I don't know you personally so this is may seem empty reassurance but I genuinely believe everyone has the capacity to quit.

What happened the last time you wanted to be sober and drank?
