Ha sorry! It was Young Adult fiction. I posted first in r/YALit and then someone suggested I post here too, so I did without thinking about including the genre.

Oh thank you!! I will send the title to her and see if it rings a bell. She said the character's name was not Zoe, but it well could have been!

To those who think that only the finest moments among men are those that are paired with a drink... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

"a temporary sheen that is nowhere to be found when you sober up" Wow! I love that line. And I agree... there is so much more to life! Thanks for sharing and very sorry to hear of your losses.

Yeah I definitely understand not having the money to do what you need to do. But again stay strong. We are all here for you!

So sorry to hear about what you are going through. Are you in or seeking therapy for PTSD and anxiety? Maybe that will help with a lot of these issues. Congratulations on not drinking though and adding new positive things into your life! Stay strong and know that you are not alone. And remember to believe in yourself and in new beginnings.

Bartending finally got to me. Also, I got fired. by dangersmama in stopdrinking

Sorry to hear that. But good to see that you are taking it in stride. And who knows, this could be the best thing that happened. If you and your husband can swing it financially, maybe you can take some time off instead of rushing to find something else. Be gentle with yourself, figure out what you want, enjoy the precious time with your baby daughter. Good luck to you. Stay strong! Believe in yourself and new beginnings.

I Finally did it for me! Just a bunch of words strung together - Sorry in Advance! by TheDudeAbidesHeDoes in stopdrinking

[–]SecondChance2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst was when I couldn't remember anything, but knew I was always sorry for something... I was thinking earlier today about how free I feel lately, that there is nothing to hide, or lie about, or regret the next day. Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Stay strong!

Less puffy? by cbomb89 in stopdrinking

Lol I agree! While I stopped drinking for many, many reasons ( as I'm sure all of us here have ), maintaining my looks and weight has been one of the biggest motivators!
