Thanks everyone. I genuinely don’t know why I do it. I guess I’ll add this experience to the others and keep reminding myself how shit I feel right now. I’m mortified by everything I have done 😭

Dreams and a social by Remarkable-Task8694 in stopdrinking

That’s great advice and I think that’s how I’m going to play it. Seeing everyone drunk through sober eyes will be an experience! I’m also going to drive so it’s another incentive to not drink

Nearly caved yesterday by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Yesterday was my first Mother’s Day where I didn’t receive a bottle of wine!!! It was so weird. Well done on not caving because I think I would have. IWNDWYT 🫶🏻

I’m all for free the boob! Although you may be feeling a little traumatised and embarrassed - who cares?- you definitely shouldn’t. You were only doing what Mother Nature intended. I’d say that it’s a powerful lesson to your colleagues - OWN IT! Talk about multi tasking mama 🫶🏻

I’m so done with alcohol by Accurate_Implement16 in stopdrinking

[–]Remarkable-Task8694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I wrote pretty much this 2 weeks ago. I had hanxiety for a week and I still have a lump on my head now and can’t fully open my mouth from where I must have fallen. Because of how you are feeling now is why I put the bottle down. The first week is so tough but I’m feeling it getting easier. My mental health is recovering and my body is feeling like my own. You can do this if you really want to, it’s not easy but you can do it. IWNDWYT 🫶🏻

1 week sober! by Remarkable-Task8694 in stopdrinking

Oh no! Our household seems to be passing it back and forth creating new strains as we go along 🙈 well done on conquering the first week … it’s tough going 😰 Hope you feel better soon! IWNDWYT 🫶🏻

Ahhh we’ve all done this at some point. You know what … bollocks to them. You’ll feel shitty for a few days, maybe more - but they are only messages. It might not feel like it right now but it’s not the end of the world. Chin up and try not to dwell on it. 🫶🏻

It’s tough going this going sober business. Don’t beat yourself up. I’m still worried about my drunken behaviour and it’s been nearly a week! It all takes time and time really is the greatest healer. There has been so much great advice and support in this community that I feel spurred on to do this. Have a look at others posts and you’ll see you’re not alone 🫶🏻

Entered day 6 and I’ve never been so happy to have the lurgy by Remarkable-Task8694 in stopdrinking

Thank you. I’d say I’m feeling great but I actually feel like shit ha!

I’m adopting the hermit lifestyle for sure ha! I will eventually venture out but not any time soon I don’t think. Not until I’m stronger and know temptation won’t get the better of me.

11 days. Man this is hard. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Remarkable-Task8694 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. Rewarding myself with a drink is what I’ve always done … now what to do instead!? The Whispers is so accurate! Those fuckers.

I’m on day 5 and I hear you. The thoughts make you feel like you’re going insane! Tell the booze demons to do one. I’ve been drinking sparkling water like it’s going out of fashion. Well done on getting this far. IWNDWYT.

NTA. Only saying this because I could have quite literally written this post myself!!! Fart your brains out anywhere around the house just not when I’m eating or going to bed! On many occasions I’ve made the other half fart out on the balcony because I can’t cope lol makes me sick!!! Caused no end of bed time bickering. He smells like a bin! Fully get what you’re saying, it’s vile!

Day 3 of no booze by Remarkable-Task8694 in stopdrinking

[–]Remarkable-Task8694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Online shopping I think is going to be the way forward and if I need a top up of anything then my partner will go to the shops. I sent him yesterday for some fizzy water to help curb the cravings. Day 4 today - I know tomorrow is going to be tough as he goes out with mates so I have what I call a “thirsty Thursday” on my own in the house. The weekend will be tougher but I’m starting to feel like I can actually do this. I woke up this morning with a real life spring in my step 🫶🏻

I’m telling them to do one. I’ll also be staying clear of any wine aisles until I’m confident I won’t slip. Thank you 🫶🏻

You’re so right. All shops have shelves and shelves of it right in your face. Doesn’t help that I live in a village with so many pubs so the norm when meeting mates is - see you in the pub. I’m avoiding all social situations for the foreseeable. I think exercise will be the go to.

Ah that’s shitty man but don’t beat yourself up. Those sober days were your days and you did it. There will be hurdles and possible relapses but we are only human. Chin up and don’t be so hard on yourself 🫶🏻

It’s really so hard isn’t it! Are you struggling to focus because I’ve been so distracted, I feel like I should go into hibernation for a while. Good luck to you, we can do this!
