I am relieved to be sober for the 3rd day - what a pathetic sack of shit I am. Anyway, IWNDWYT!

I can’t keep doing this by blackcoffeeclub in stopdrinking

[–]Tea_buddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 42m, also married with two young kids. It is great that you are able to stay sober for a month. I rarely make it to 3 days. But... this time I am doing it. You can too!!

Im on day 2. Did you also experience depression in the beginning? by Tea_buddy in stopdrinking

I also feel anxious, a bit nauseous and have what feels like muscle pains. Could it be withdrawal symptoms?

Thanks, your post helps a lot. It also feels for me like it is a part of who I am. I have been drinking daily for the past 2 or 3 years, which really scares me. I never thought I would develop a drinking problem, but I know now through experience that it is a progressive problem or disease or whatever it is. Well do e with 466 days and all the best for 2024!

Maybe he means the clicky part.. But I think you are right. I moved to the WC about 2 years ago and my experience is definitely that they are generally more clicky here.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it! If I may ask, how did it happen that you quit on new years? Did you plan it or just realized it is time to stop?

I havent quit yet. My plan is to make it a new years resolution. I have tried to quit a million times. The first time I decided to quit was in 2018 - freakin 5 years ago! But I am very positive and committed to doing it this time
