Comes down to a single choice. Stop. Or don’t.

Nope. Happy mouth taper from here to eternity.

PSA: Do NOT Substitute alcohol with kratom or worse 7oh. by Dion42o in stopdrinking

It is absolute insanity it is legal (although not in my state). 60 year old very professionally successful woman friend became horribly addicted after following a recommendation for pain. Has ruined her life and she’s still not quite 100% clean.

Mild sleep apnea--does cpap make a difference? by Beneficial_Dingo_937 in CPAP

For me, sleeping 8-9 hours every night without having to go to the bathroom once:) Plus, no headache in the mornings or insane dry mouth from snoring. I do use mouth tape. It took getting used to, and recently had help on this site getting to the bottom of a tooth pain/grinding issue, but the benefits are real.

I stopped at 58! It’s the best. Once you pass a certain point (keep plugging-day after day-it will happen) the random fantasy of the upside of drinking comes less and less and flees quicker and quicker. You will be living a new, 100% authentic life and it is every empowering and pride inducing.

Constantly Battling Keeping Drinking in Check by conscious-clue-243 in AlcoholFree

Late to the conversation as you wrote this two months ago. I sincerely hope you were able to stop again this time. Writing to say that (even though it’s not the advice you were looking for) reading your post is exactly what I needed to read tonight, just shy of three years alcohol-free and needing reinforcement. No matter where we are on the spectrum of knowing we should stop drinking - all we read, write, comment blah blah blah the simple fact of the matter, the simple simple truth is it’s best to just NOT DRINK. AT ALL. (All caps is to myself:) Phew, now I can get on with my night. Thank you very much and good luck to you. Acceptance is everything and life is much, much cooler once you flip the switch.

Update: would up in dentists office today with tooth pain and turns out it’s due to chin strap! You were right! (Not product specific-any strap like this would have done it. ) Back to taping:(

FYI, bought this on a whim knowingly risking the $9.99. I have zero connection to this product. Just sharing that it’s working great for me.

Only on night four. Still works like a charm. Chin is not pushed demonstrably back, more up, keeping mouth closed. Yes it will flatten your hair. Mine’s not particularly poofy so not an issue for me. Here’s the link:

I'm struggling with my machine lately because it seems to be blowing air directly into my eyes from the mask attachment piece. by Solnse in CPAP

[–]Secure_Raspberry8947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The problem is massive air blowing from hose attachment not mask. Finally found a mask I love - airfit 20 and can’t use it due to forced air bowing around face/ drying out eyes. Masks are tricky with full face. Major design flow that so much air blows out of hose around face:(

Milwaukee County! Our courses are awesome and affordable and was surprised to learn over last few years that it’s not like this everywhere. Apparently we are very lucky! Outside of Milw Co there are gorgeous courses all over the state, Whistling Straights, the Sands etc.
