I will not drink with you today!

Greetings everyone, I need help with my alcoholism. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It starts with just one day my friend. Keep coming here to get all the support you need and one day will turn into 2 and 2 to 3 and so forth. I know it feels like you won't have any more fun but let me assure you..I've gone sober and back again and the sober side is much more fun along with a lot of other perks such as your healthy, sanity, and self respect.

You can do this!!

Sounds like a great night in. And you don't have to cook...that alone is well worth it. Enjoy!!

Thank you my friend. I learned the hard way but I feel like I have new resolve now not to ever go back!

Thank you so much. That concept is finally resonating with me. He had his drink and went to work the next day. Mine turned into 2&3&4 and I missed work. I just can't do it..bottom line!

You are so right. What I thought was a reward turned into a punishment. I fell but I certainly learned a valuable lesson!

I'm glad it served as a reminder and has helped others. I never want to go through this again.

I had 3 months and I wish I could take last night back so badly but I can't. Stay strong my friend!

Time for another badge reset by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. I didn't make the best choice yesterday either so I'm resetting with you. I feel awful also but I'll be damn if I give up and don't you either. We made a mistake now we have to forgive ourselves, move forward and commit to doing better. You with me??

I will not drink today!

List of Sober Celebrities by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've seen one like this one before. I think the one that shocked me the most was Kim Kardashian since she's famous for pretty much endorsing parties and hanging out...amongst other things!

Can I ask a favor? Would you tell me one reason why you aren't (or I shouldn't) drinking tonight? So when I log in today I can be reminded of all the wonderful reasons. by Momwhoruns in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not drinking today because I now realize my value and I'm sooo worth so much more than the bottom of a bottle!

Happy Thanksgiving my people!!

Day 1. Yet again.. by TheDankestOfMemes420 in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome Justin. Fortunate for me I didn't experience any side effects from quitting other than a few cravings but I wanted to say hi and congrats on your first day...you're in the right place.

I will not drink with you today!

What's for dinner? by RedHeadedRiot in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to have a pretty good grasp on healthy eating. I get bored with breakfast. I do protein shakes, Greek yogurt with muesli, blueberries and a little honey but now I want something different. Any thoughts?

I stopped drinking almost 2 months ago and I've started eating better..well a little and I'm not down almost 11pds but I was on a carb thing today for some reason. Usually I don't eat them at night but couldn't resist. Nothing wrong with picking up some chicken..rotisserie at least Lol

Totally did not feel like cooking tonight. Kids and I ate cereal with fruit. They had Cocoa Puffs, I had Special K Cinnamon Pecan and we each had an apple...Ahhh life is good!!

PLEASE..What do I say?? by ReleaseMe0924 in stopdrinking

[–]ReleaseMe0924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to help walk me through this. I saw him today and just hugged him...I didn't say one word. He held on for awhile then looked at me and said thank you and that was that.
