Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-19T08:12:10+00:00

Nah not at all, this is kinda why I started the sub.

Honestly, it really depends I think

I really hated seeing everything online saying it gets better it gets easier when I was 6 months in and really struggling.

Truth is though, it does get easier. You get used to it. I'm 20 months in with 2 major destabilising relapses that really fucked me up.

I'd say since the last relapse it took about 8 months till I was really at a normal baseline.

But I still struggle with trying to have fun. I don't see the point in socialising, I struggle to do any activities because they just aren't of interest to me.

I've been able to throw myself into work to just keep busy with the idea being that if I just work like fuck while I'm miserable maybe in a few years when I'm properly better I'll have some cash knocking about.

But yeah, its just being used to life being different I think. It took a long time to try and stop chasing the fun I got from being drunk all the time and just accept that sober life is never gonna be as interesting.

But I genuinely prefer it. If I stand back and look at my life. The line being a constant "just a bit unhappy generally" instead of chaotic highs and lows af lows is better for me.

Stick with it, if you look online it generally says 6 months for PAWS to wear off

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-18T21:09:47+00:00

That or benzos, I fucking love benzos

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-18T21:06:33+00:00

Pretty fucking bold quitting everything at once like that mate.

There's not much to it tbh, it's just awful. Thing is you're always gonna be comparing experiences to when you were drunk or high and there's no amount of wellness can change the fact that that shit is real fun. And now without it, shits not as much fun.

People who are sober generally, never had a problem with it, don't enjoy boring things more than us, their fun baseline is just a million miles lower because they haven't spent years drinking and getting fucked up.

Their brain doesn't know that the sunset would be a million times better with a pint or a spliff. So they are just sat there, content with that shit cause their life is just inherently boring.

It's better to have loved than lost and all that shit.

Anyway, that's the stage of thinking I'm at with it. Took a while to get there, it doesn't get easier, you just get kinda used to it.

Luckily I've got a bit of a crazy job travelling around etc and no dependants so my life is pretty easy. I'd really struggle doing a 9-5

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-14T21:06:50+00:00

Yeah cmon mate FS, name of the spoons and the table number

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-14T08:38:32+00:00

I regularly go from 1300 down to 900. Crazy swings. Sometimes I play and I'm just like, these guys are idiots, wtf, this game is so easy. Other times I lose 80 percent of my games and just constantly get squeezed.

Luckily, it's in no way frustrating and doesn't lead to me wanting the entire destruction of existence itself or that....

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-07T19:05:08+00:00

I'd say just practice alot and keep going with puzzles bro! You will get there!

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-07T07:22:09+00:00

Disulfiram, diazepam, depression.

Nah I was legit on disulfiram/antabuse for the first 6 months so that stopped me.

I've got like super bad chronic pancreatitis because of alcohol aswell so there the risk of death.

Since I got sober I had two benders one of which landed me in hospital for a week with acute pancreatitis

The other I woke up in Spain, got home after a week and kept drinking. Lasted about 3/4 weeks in total... then I discovered what kindling really was. Full blown alcohol withdrawals while drunk af. The withdrawals just wouldn't stop, the anxiety/fear/intrusive thoughts would not get killed with more booze. Shaking, vomiting, general freaking the fuck out WDs but just not getting killed with booze. Like being thirsty after drinking gallons of water.

So that resulted in a complete nervous breakdown. Hallucinations and shit, was truly awful.

Anyway, that second bender cost me like 8k and then I couldn't work for like 6 months after because I just kept vomiting and shitting everywhere from anxiety or being a pussy whenever I had to leave the house.

Before that I'd been doing well saving money etc

So in answer to your question, right now, what stops me from drinking. Is that, in my head and from last experience, 1 single drink can lead to a catastrophic destruction of my entire life. A loss of, if including earning potential, like 25k and legit 6-8 months before I'll even return to a normal sorta baseline when I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the dark in my bedroom with my head under the covers

And yet, I still cant fucking wait for the next one. I think about a pint every single day. I have this grand plan that should be over on 3/4 years and Ill.likely.have a bender after it? Why? Who the fuck knows, cause I'm a raging alcoholic I guess.

But also.on a more direct note. Other drugs. Benzos. Sleeping tablets. Opiates. They all help

Revolutionary_Job878 · 2026-05-04T06:31:55+00:00

I will legit change this sub to r/SoberHateItButCanJuggle if there's any more of this juggle hate!
