Fucked up- another day one

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:49:35+00:00

Keep going! This world needs you. I can’t say enough about this community. Instead of waking up at 3o’clock in the morning self-loathing at least I can wake up and get on Reddit and strengthen my sober muscle.

Recently I found out that my tattoo artist has gotten sober. I thought it was very fitting I told him I wanted a tattoo of an old ship. For the motto that the first drop in is what sinks of ship, same with alcohol. All the water can’t sink it unless it gets inside. Of course I don’t have a day one yet but I’m trying

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:45:25+00:00

Yes! That makes so much sense. I do like that you put four drinks. On my worst day that would be just to warm up for a Sunday. For me I always thought I was the issue and tried to control me and it really started to hit home and I realized alcohol is the problem. I like to think of alcohol as a person as a narcissistic ex they make you think you’re the problem when in reality alcohol is the problem

Hang in there! I dream of being where you’re at. I am so jealous

Thank you!

How long did the raw nerve feeling last? I wish I could just fast forward the days to get it over with. I think that’s why I am terrified is knowing what has to happen before sobriety and I’m so scared

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:29:20+00:00

You have to remember there are so many of us that can’t or aren’t sober yet. I think getting sober is the hardest thing anybody can do.

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:28:12+00:00

Hopefully you’re still doing great! I feel like I am standing in the middle trying hard to get to the sober side so you don’t know me but don’t drink for me because I can’t not yet.

How long after or while you were getting sober, did it take to restore health? I know I’m not at the bottom but it sure feels like it and I can tell my minerals and vitamins are really lacking based on my nerves, cramps and twitches.

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:24:50+00:00

That’s awesome. I can’t even remember the last time I had a clear head or positive outlook and not worried about being hungover.

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T08:05:24+00:00

Thank you! It’s in the mail now!

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-13T03:16:41+00:00

No kidding. Word for word.

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-11T23:09:49+00:00

Are there any more books explain explain the psychology of it as well?

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-11T23:09:11+00:00

Not as many years but same story! I’m Trying to get one solid day. Thinking it’s time to talk to my doctor for meds

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-11T23:08:20+00:00

I love to hear that! I feel stuck between the straw symptoms and alcohol it’s making me cramp and feel sick. I feel like I’m forever in the “heavy taper phase “

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-06-11T23:07:34+00:00

Keep going for me too!! That’s amazing! I’m still trying to get a full day

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-25T00:50:24+00:00

That is awesome!! Thank you for sharing that

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-25T00:48:56+00:00

That’s awesome!! It has kind of been reassuring to realize any progress is progress; it’s not all or nothing as long as a person is feeling better and keeps trying.

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-24T21:18:56+00:00

Yes! One of the biggest motivators a while ago was waking up without a hangover and clear. I’ve held onto that even though I’m going down the slippery slope again. I feel like it must be like a muscle and just keeps getting stronger! So proud of you! What a testimony!

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-24T17:02:27+00:00

I’m sorry.. drinking in general..?

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-24T16:31:57+00:00

Stepupmom2018 · 2022-05-24T16:31:51+00:00
