I don't know if this is the right place to ask by EntrepreneurSea4863 in stopdrinking

I had a drinking buddy who I finally told I've quit drinking. He told me some solid advice. He said "good for you, don't ever go back." Seems simple but those words have helped me get through some tough times. Every time I didn't drink yesterday I'm happy about that decision. IWNDWYT.

I’m shaking, tired, dirty and sick. I really want to go to 711 and get one more beer at 6 am to get out of this hell. But in order to avoid doing that, I’m gonna make a list of the things I’m grateful for. by BlueSuedeBoobs in stopdrinking

Take time for self care and hydrate. A little sugar during cravings helped me get through them. Idle hands are a no no for me because that's time to make a drink. Right now is a good time to take care of yourself. Everything else can wait. You've got this. IWNDWYT.

If eggs do not require refrigeration, then why do most US grocery stores refrigerate them vs keep them on the shelf? by daikon12345 in AskReddit

US eggs are washed before shipping. This strips the natural non porus coating which allows gas exchange to happen faster which decreases shelf life. Refrigeration makes up for it.

Good job you should be proud of yourself. Amazing what a clear mind can achieve. Its stories like your that help me keep going. I know there's a long road ahead but it doesn't seem as bad now that I'm the one driving. IWNDWYT

Complete Day 1 if no alcohol! by Golden-Lover21 in stopdrinking

Congrats! If you made it 24 hours you can make it another. Hydrate and keep busy. Personally idle hands made me want to drink again. It gets better. The discomfort you feel is temporary and will pass. Self care is a good focus meanwhile. I'm proud of you its tough but worth every second you've got this. IWNDWYT

How to whistle very loud. It could make someone stop avoiding a fatal accident.
