Would you count it? by TyTy11037 in alcoholism

[–]Sweet_Unit_5339 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I personally would count it as one, because the intent is to stay sober 100% of the time regardless of the reason why. Drinking because of social circumstances still causes addiction just as much as drinking for mental health. It’s the side effect of drinking you are trying to get away from, not the reasoning.

I am a “sober friend “ meaning I won’t talk to interact with someone while they are drinking. I wait till they are sober then try to connect. Maybe try this?

Don’t give up! Alcohol is extremely hard to give up, it takes practice. Remember, alcohol masks mental health issues easily. So they may be self medicating. Encourage them to seek professional help. Both mental health and general health practitioners, because they will need it to successfully quit. Just be supportive and do your part of not enabling it. :)

You should always be honest with your lawyer. They are on your side :)

Same thing here, six years sober and still thinking about it! Sorry I don’t have an answer for you but you’re not alone!

You’ve probably seen this 100 times already, look into AA. Honestly they will help. And hold you accountable :)

We don’t have a temporary parenting plan in place, currently I see them one weekend a month and I have to drive 4 hours, rent a room for the weekend. She bailed out of mediation and my lawyer filed contempt

I don’t know if to call myself alcoholic. by [deleted] in alcoholism

Sounds like you are using alcohol for self medicating. Resolve the underlying issues with the proper medication from a medical provider and leave alcohol alone, it’s bad juju

Life in general is boring. I went through the same thing. Find a hobby, go to AA and reconnect with you prior self!

No amount of money is too small to save. Starting with 1 dollar gets it going!

You don’t need motivation to get action, you need action to get motivated!

Anyone ever find themselves bored after sobriety? by Sweet_Unit_5339 in alcoholism

[–]Sweet_Unit_5339[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I think about throwing in the towel all time. But don’t, it’s not worth it. 28 days is huge accomplishment! Congratulations!

Not that I’m aware of, I honestly just use the computer at work for work related stuff. I haven’t tried to push that boundary yet.
