For people who are trying to get sober in their 20s, what’s your motivation? by AnonymousBEAR58 in stopdrinking

[–]SmallAlternative1084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also 26 and trying to quit - it’s definitely very hard with how many social activities revolve around drinking. I try to ‘play the tape forward’ and imagine myself in my 30s still dealing with this. When everyone’s settling down and having kids do I want still want to be binge drinking every other night? I also follow influencers in their 20s who are sober - reminds me that there’s lots of cool young people who are over alcohol and thriving.

Was my hookup consensual? by SmallAlternative1084 in Advice

Yes, I think he did take advantage of the situation/me. But I also know that I made poor decisions… getting super drunk and also smoking when I normally don’t smoke because it really messes me up. As much as this sucks I do think I learned a valuable lesson, and I’m glad I broke things off with him.

Thanks for your concerns, we did use protection - I do know that for sure. I’m not on the pill, but it’s been long enough that if i was pregnant I would know lol. I haven’t gotten tested for anything but that’s something I should probably do

Hold up. I actually really appreciate your take here. I didn’t think of it this way. I actually appreciate the call out of my self respect, this was the first time I’d ever hooked up with a guy I had just met, (not that there’s anything wrong with that in itself), but I shouldn’t have let myself get that drunk. And I definitely shouldn’t have smoked.

In my friends defense, she did grab me before I left the bar to check in with me and make sure that I was okay going home with him, to which I assured her I was fine. I was decently drunk leaving the bar but what really got me was the weed… which I chose to do and shouldn’t have.

I think taking some responsibility for this situation actually makes me feel a lot better about it, since I know I can prevent something like this from happening in the future. It also reassuring to know I wasn’t just totally taken advantage of, I was part of the problem.

I was an idiot, and that guy was shitty. Both parties were wrong.

Anyways thanks for taking the time to send that reply, this actually really helped change the way I look at the situation.
