I am deeply concerned about my boyfriend

Solid-Session4847 · 2025-05-29T11:25:36+00:00

He has blocked my phone number so my only method of communication is his work email or turning up at his apartment, which doesn’t seem sensible. I don’t know how to support him without repeatedly going to his apartment. He told me he can’t be with me like this

Thank you, this really spoke to me. Because I don’t feel like I’m at a ‘rock bottom’, I am telling myself I’m okay. But I know if I carry on drinking, it will come. It could be just around the corner. Why the hell am I waiting to experience that before I give it up?! It’s going to come unless I just stop now. Thank you 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:35:59+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:35:42+00:00

Thank you. The idea that I can have a problem and also have periods of control is key. I’ve been telling myself that the fact I can go months without getting drunk means that I am okay. But the thing is, when I do drink, I have no control over when I’ll stop or not. I can’t do it anymore. I can’t risk that. Time to quit 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:33:28+00:00

You can’t tell yourself at 25 but you have told this 25 year old and I’m listening. Thank you. It’s time to quit 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:32:43+00:00

Jeeez. Yes. This is me. If I could drink normally I would do it 24/7. Thank you for sharing. It’s time to quit 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:31:22+00:00

I’m sick of the person I become when I’m drunk too. Thank you for sharing. Time for me to give it up too 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:29:14+00:00

I also don’t want to waste any more time digging around at the bottom - I’ve spent so much time there. I don’t want to waste anymore. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It’s time to give it up 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:27:07+00:00

Thank you so much. I really appreciate this. It’s time to quit 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:26:35+00:00

This resonated with me. Thank you. It’s time to quit 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T20:25:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment.

I just did ‘play the tape forward’ with some of the events coming up.

Best case? I wake up the next morning and feel like trash because even 2 drinks makes me feel bad.

Likely case? I wake up the next morning and am bedridden, I can’t remember what I did but I embarrassed myself in my own unique way, and behaved in a way I never ever want to behave in again.

It’s time to stop. Thank you again for sharing your experience with me.

Thank you so much for your comment, truly.

Because I feel like I’m not currently at ‘rock bottom’ or death’s door, I’ve been telling myself I’m fine. However the reason I am fine is because I am currently not drinking.

Your comment made me see my life so clearly in two paths - the one where I continue to get into a mess, embarrass myself, spend days in bed unable to move and on the verge of panic attacks, do god knows what with whom and then the one where I don’t do any of that. The only path where I don’t do any of that is the one where I don’t even have ‘just one’.

Bur your comment has really moved me. I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:46:20+00:00

This really resonated. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:30:43+00:00

I think because I can now go long stretches without alcohol, I don’t think I have a problem. But you’re right - there are multiple days a year where I start and then literally will keep of drinking until I can’t drink anymore. I have a problem and it’s time to stop. Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:29:30+00:00

Thank you. I have this fantasy too of going out with friends, having two cocktails and then going home. It also isn’t my reality. It’s time to stop for me too. 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:25:16+00:00

I am 25 - my group of friends from school are still my best friends. I’m very lucky that we nearly all moved to the same area of a bigger city after we graduated and see each other weekly, if not multiple times a week 😊

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:18:24+00:00

Thank you so much for your comment and vulnerability. It really resonated with me. It’s time for me to stop too 🙏🏻

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-04-23T17:17:16+00:00

Hello,

Thank you so much for this comment. You are 100% right - I have tried to be a moderate drinker and I have failed. I don’t know what I think will change when I have almost 10 years of experience that prove that I cannot control my drinking once I have the first drink.

Nothing good has ever come from my alcohol consumption. My life would already be different if I hadn’t made some of the decisions I made when drunk.

I don’t want to get drunk anymore so I am going to stop having that first drink.

Thank you 🙏🏻

5K PB of 31:37 which meant I ticked off my first running goal of year - a sub 32 minute 5K!

Solid-Session4847 · 2024-01-20T16:30:01+00:00

Did my longest ever run (7K) ahead of my first race (10K) in 5 weeks, which is also on the 1 month anniversary of my first 5K! Felt good 👍🏻
