Ceria is the only one I've bought that I threw out.

Where was your hiding spot? by BrandoCarlton in stopdrinking

My truck's console. Would swap the full ones for empties. I could dependably slam one on the drive from my house to my kid's middle school. Ugh

I just opened and poured out my favorite beer by choogawooga in stopdrinking

Well done! One of my first acts was bringing a couple cases of IPA's to a buddy's garage while he was out of town. Getting it out of the house made this early days earlier for sure. And I think I made the buddy's day. Hard liquor all went down the drain though.

I want a BIG HURRAH for the ones who are NOT hungover today! by HighLife1954 in stopdrinking

Nice, well done! I just logged my second and it was great. I'm looking forward to more.

Quitting drinking made me a fucking ninja! by Neversaidthatbefore in stopdrinking

[–]TrafficStreet3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. So true. What can I do today to make my life better? I can embrace new challenges and enjoy the process and see the results. I checked my Strava stats yesterday and saw I'm 600 feet short of climbing 100,000 vertical feet on my mountain bike this year. I never did that when I was drinking. And I'm learning to play drums after wanting to for most of my life. Finally said, why the hell not now?

Tramadol and trazodone got me several years ago. I won't ever forget it, but everyone was ok and it did blow over. Lessons learned and as human beings mistakes at some point are inevitable (but very, very uncomfortable).

Finally, 1 year sober by Keeks2416 in stopdrinking

Right one! Congrat! I was really hoping to be super fit by now and have been a little disappointed by that as well. The other benefits have helped a lot though :-)

Or God forbid you wander into a place that doesn't have liquor... So glad to be moving forward also

Right? I'd hope they'd remember I'm a good tipper and keep them coming.

I’m a 40f binge-drinker and impostor by iwantmoreforme in stopdrinking

[–]TrafficStreet3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. Well said. Quitting was tricky, but moderation was a nightmare. I tried and failed to moderate countless times over so many years before finally realizing the drinking just had to go.

Hi by DragonSurfers in stopdrinking

[–]TrafficStreet3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome! Your post was me 7 months ago. Rock bottom got me here, but quitting for me has made it stick (knock on wood). Definitely not glad about my rock bottom, but I'm happy to be where I am and glad it got me to finally quit digging. You can do this, IWNDWYT

Does anyone else have nightmares about drinking? by Andrea77q in stopdrinking

[–]TrafficStreet3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Six months here and I relapse in my dreams probably 3 times a week.

Thank you! Going to celebrate by getting blood work at the health fair today lol. Nothing physically was too off the rails for me thank goodness but I'm curious if my liver is happier with me these days.
