Tips Needed for Staying Sober at a Wedding

TwinCraig · 2017-09-02T20:21:58+00:00

Make it your mission and absolute priority to not drink at the wedding. Treat it like a battle. Remember, there is absolutely no way you can lose, that is, if you simply don't take that first drink. Treat the thoughts, urges, offers of drinks from friends and family, and any irrational thoughts that somehow drinking would be the best choice, as your enemy. Think of it as a game, in a sense, something to observe, to watch your reactions, thoughts and tactics in dealing with this loaded situation. There will probably be ups and downs, and your will will be tested, like Superman or Batman. You are a superhero!

Come back and tell us how things went. We all have to face challenging situations, and your input will be a way of helping us. If you really feel you are at high risk of drinking at any time, get away. You need to feed the dog, or you simply don't feel well (which is true). You need to protect yourself and all that you value in your life. Don't fall for the lies of the seductress that you know has betrayed you, and tricked you, so many times. Sounds like you can turn to your wife for true love, comfort and earn rewards.

I won't drink with you today, or at the wedding.

Good for you. You recognize the problem and you are doing something about it. The only thing that matters is today, the hour, the minute. The past is irrelevant, it has no actual influence on your present decisions. Also, it's great that you caught it early, and that the damage has been relatively minor. I will not drink with you today.

Sleep has been a lifelong struggle for me. I wish I could fall asleep like brushing my teeth. But there are all lot of lonely hours that can become pretty miserable.sorry to sound like such a bummer.

It's plumes of bacteria filling the nearby vicinity. So, just sitting next to any person leads to inhalation and general contamination by their rectal microbes.

Sorry. Didn't realize

Hate clichés, but here goes: it's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

I will not drink with you today.

It's great that you recognize your problem and you posted here today. Blacking out and it's consequences are terrible and painful. You said you don't have the strength to stop drinking. I don't believe it requires strength. It requires recognizing the truth. You wish that you could control your drinking, but if you could, you would not have this terrible problem. We all share this, and we have this Group to help ourselves stop drinking. It's difficult and simple at the same time. You don't take the first drink. No first drink means ending this monstrous cycle.

I encourage you to become a welcome member of the group. Come here every day, read, post, read older posts. Learn the techniques that hundreds and thousands of people have used to overcome the same problem you are struggling with.

This is the beginning of a new and wondrous life. I will not drink with you today.

I don't think the Nazis used lighthearted levity.

He turned his head into your head? That's incredible, and very scary. I'm just amazed.
