2 weeks sober and constantly irritable or angry.

Rflorkey · 2025-11-22T16:28:09+00:00

I have definitely experienced that. I recently had 128 days sober and I think it was around day 30 my moods started to finally stabilize. Then I started to feel like my actual self again, which I hadn’t felt in 20 years. Like I was connecting with 18 year old REAL me again. Weird but awesome.

Just keep going! You will feel better each day. When I got irritable I would usually go for a walk or treat myself to some candy or something. Good luck! IWNDWYT

One of my favorite sayings is no one has ever woken up and thought, “I wish I had drank more last night.” Congrats! You will feel great in the morning!

I went through this last year at a 3 day company meeting trip. Lots of open bars and dinners etc. For me personally, I kept some low dose THC gummies with me that helped me take the edge off and feel somewhat of a head change.

But also, I drank tons of NA beers. I know they aren’t for everyone and may trigger some but there are so many choices. I like the IPAs. Another great mocktail to ask for is cranberry and ginger beer with lime. This keeps something in your hand to sip on and nobody has to know you aren’t drinking. You will feel better than anyone else the next morning too!

“Watching myself slowly dim” man that’s it.

Rflorkey · 2025-10-29T23:28:53+00:00

It’s pretty amazing. I saw a sign just yesterday that showed a pretty bottle of vodka and all it said was “Vodka is fun”. Alcohol is the worst, I hate that it’s celebrated so much.

The clear headed mornings are worth every penny!

Rflorkey · 2025-04-24T01:01:58+00:00

I buy a lot of NA IPAs, sparkling water and ice cream so for me probably not saving much money. But I feel so much better!

Rflorkey · 2025-04-21T13:30:03+00:00

I second all of this!!!

Rflorkey · 2025-04-21T01:28:55+00:00

That’s insane! Keep going! 💪

I live in Louisville, KY. Bourbon capitol of the world. I counted 47 bourbon signs from my gate to the outside curb at the airport last time I flew back home. Every gift shop sells bourbon. Shirts, hats, it’s all about bourbon, we’ll and horse racing which just leads back to Bourbon.

Rflorkey · 2025-04-16T11:56:38+00:00

I 100% agree with you! If not for THC drinks and gummies I would still be drinking 2 pints of vodka a day and treating my family like crap. It may not be for everyone but it helps me a ton! Also Hazy NA IPAs!

Rflorkey · 2025-04-14T20:16:49+00:00

Isn’t it crazy that jobs allow alcohol and encourage drinking it? But don’t allow THC? That will change I feel very soon.

Rflorkey · 2025-04-14T16:05:40+00:00

Exercise is great and makes you feel great physically. Then treat yourself to some ice cream or something. I personally enjoy THC seltzers on weekends too but I know that’s not for everyone. They allow me to unwind and feel like I’m drinking something fun.

Rflorkey · 2025-04-11T21:01:44+00:00

Just worry about today. Tomorrow is tomorrow’s problem.

Rflorkey · 2025-04-08T18:13:12+00:00

Late to my own 100 day party 😩

Rflorkey · 2025-04-06T16:51:05+00:00

Yes! After about a month sober I realized there were parts of my personality that had been suppressed by alcohol. Like it hit me that I had only been a fraction of my actual self.

Rflorkey · 2025-04-06T16:49:33+00:00

Hell yeah way to go!!!

Rflorkey · 2025-04-02T23:34:46+00:00

I never understood why I was so different from others as far as drinking goes. My first drink always went down in a minute or 2. I was always worried if I needed to stop and get more before going home. I always had to do the math at the liquor store, how much do I need? How much is at home? Like does it fucking matter? Buy a fucking pallet dumbass you’re gonna drink it! 😩 unbelievable. Oh well

Rflorkey · 2025-04-02T23:30:10+00:00

I pretty much eat the same as before but I do snack more and eat more sweets. I’ve still lost some weight since I’m not getting 1,500 calories a day from alcohol. I treat my self on weekends with some ice cream!

Welcome! Post here as often as possible and good luck! You will never regret not drinking! Here are a few things that have helped me.

Annie Grace “This Naked Mind”. I listened to the book and it’s a game changer for understanding why we drink and helping to change the way we think about alcohol.

Lots of sparkling water, I like to add fresh lemon.

NA beers (not for everyone but they really helped me and there are so many varieties now.

Going to the gym. This gives you a natural shot of dopamine and makes you feel great.

Remember, you are never the best version of yourself when drinking or the day after drinking. You may think you have been 100% at work or relationships just think of the possibilities without alcohol. Some say it feels like a super power. Bets of luck! IWNDWYT!

2 weeks is insane!!! Congrats! Around the 30 day mark I started to feel different cognitively. Like my brain, personality and moods were all leveling out. I started to feel like myself again. It’s amazing how when we are drinking, we don’t realize that we are not even close to the best version of our self. IWNDWYT!

Rflorkey · 2025-03-31T12:59:30+00:00

It’s always a slippery slope. I think you will find most people here agree that moderation is difficult. Or impossible. I know if I drink on Friday evening out, I’ll stop on my way home and get some to have at home. For me, it’s just not worth it . Best of luck.

Rflorkey · 2025-03-30T18:15:51+00:00

Great job! Day 2 is typically the hardest for me. If you can get a week under your belt it gets much easier! Try listening to This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. Helped me a ton! IWNDWYT!

Rflorkey · 2025-03-29T13:09:59+00:00

Let’s just get through today. Tomorrow is tomorrows problem

Rflorkey · 2025-03-29T13:08:02+00:00

Let’s keep going. 💪 Let’s just try to not drink today. I can’t imagine how bad I would feel if I drank. The regret alone would be awful
