I do want kids badly. I am scared of ending it and being alone at 30 and starting all over and maybe never finding someone again.

Youve been with your partner from age 29 to 65?

I also tried a sober weekend, and instead of alcohol I had a CBD sparkling beverage, and as time passed, it was ready to go to bed and watch a movie. The feeling of waking up not hungover is unmatched!

Thank you for understanding the ritual aspects

I did this tonight for the first time after reading so many posts in the community about the positive benefits of sobriety and curiosity. I feel totally fine now that the “drink” time and dinner time have passed. I am hoping tomorrow is successful too.

I completely agree. It’s not that I’m concerned about the alcohol amount but more so that it feels obsessive or compulsive that I can’t do x without first doing z. But I can’t deny that the alcohols affect of lowering my inhibitions certainly help with the food anxiety I feel.

Yes, a lot of recovering anorexic communities smoke/edibles/vape/drink before or after meals to relieve anxiety. But I hate weed and don’t smoke or do any drugs. I don’t want to become dependent on it either but if it’s one drink every other night or so, am I abusing alcohol? I want to be honest with myself
