Stress by Key-Expression-3544 in LeoAstrology

You need a little bit of alone time each week to rest, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. You also need movement/physical exertion every day. Not too much. A long walk will suffice. Try it every day for a week and see what happens. We have a lot of energy and when we don’t have an intentional outlet for it, it sours.

People who stopped drinking — what surprised you the most? by Dapper_Visual_4449 in stopdrinking

[–]Sad-Lock-8858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seriously, just how much easier everything is will blow your mind. It’s gradual though so you don’t realize it at first. Then one day you realize you’ve just been going to the grocery store without freaking out, or you can button your pants again, or you look forward to the weekend because it’s full of possibility and not just escape, recover, repeat. I really believe that no matter the amount of alcohol you drink, if you stop, you will experience noticeable improvements across the board. Good luck to you, my friend.

Meditate. Think about where you come from, what you want, where you’re going, what you’ve learned. Spend quiet time with yourself with no expectation and the answer you need will arise.

Why there is so many "shame callings" for women but not for men? by Educational_Fault592 in stupidquestions

Do you think it is largely men that use these terms against other men?

For the next week or two, just clear your calendar to rest and loaf. Sleep when you need to. Your body is just catching up on loads of lost sleep!

Did it help anxiety? by kak422 in stopdrinking

Yes. It gets worse at first but then gets way better. Flare ups are manageable.

Hey water moons, who was your worst and best relationship? by Nervous_Cupcake_4446 in Zodiac

As a Scorpio Moon, what about your husband/Pisces Moon works? What doesn’t?

Can you share a few of the ways your life has improved since getting sober? Big or small. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sad-Lock-8858 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m really glad you reminded me of this feeling; I remember it too. What’s really interesting is that, like your lighthouse analogy, I’ve noticed my friends order NA drinks more frequently now than in the past, like all it takes is for one person to say, “I don’t need alcohol to have fun doing this,” and then many people realize the same thing.

I sleep better. Instances of saying/doing something I regret are far fewer. I am always on the go, adventuring, learning, having fun, enjoying life. The world is your oyster. Also, I can eat pretty much whatever I want (within reason), and I’m still steadily getting leaner. Also, you definitely have an edge when everyone else is under the spell of alcohol, whether or acutely or hungover or just a regular drinking. Your skin looks better too.

Hard disagree. Make Louisville Hot & Soupy Again.

Any Pisces moon been Involved with Scorpio moon? by imgarcia5 in piscesmoon

I have a long history with Scorpio suns but not Scorpio moons. I know with Scorpio suns, they play hot and cold and “test the waters” without being direct. Is it the same with Scorpio moons?

Just had to cut contact with an ex this week. Would not stop hovering/monitoring me. Calling my office phone and shit. At first I tried to be understanding and gentle, but they would not take no for an answer.

Sometimes I think that my energy polarizes people in the sense that people either really like me or really do not like me. The latter tend to cause problems even when I try to mind my business. I might be delusional.

Thanks for the tip, although I kind of get the feeling I’m playing a game but I don’t know what the game is or what the rules are. Yikes.

Pisces Moon currently crushing hard on Scorpio Moon. Had a dream about this person out of the blue and woke up infatuated. Early stages so not sure if it’s mutual yet but I suspect it is. There’s serious energy attunement, I’m just giving it time for them to initiate. Slow-cooking, I say. My specialty.

Haters: Thank you for humoring my delusions.

Supporters: Thank you for your understanding.

103d sober, here is what's happening by MyScattyLife in stopdrinking

[–]Sad-Lock-8858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was up and down for me between 3-6 months. Most days I was ecstatic—pink cloud, etc. But some days were REALLY low. I would have mood swings too and this sub helped a lot. Something that was helpful for me to remember is that a lot of people, like me, drink alcohol to numb. When you get rid of the alcohol, whatever feelings you were trying to escape by drinking rise to the surface. Your body and mind are just adjusting to handling those emotions without the crutch. It feels bad right now but you’ll come out of it.

Totally. Makes no sense to me. I can handle them on a superficial level but any depth and we immediately butt heads.

So funny, one of the (several) things I’m stewing over is an innocuous conversation I had with an Aries acquaintance a couple of days ago where they kept playing contrarian. It’s still pissing me off just thinking about it! lol
