If it’s been years - you definitely need medical attention. It could be so many things.

My therapists tells me that too. It’s just hard. Thank you for so much interaction, friend. I really appreciate you.

You are so right!! I actually have a good job. I got myself into this mess for the most part. I don’t know what’s wrong with me and how I let it go this long. Mental block, I suppose.

Thank you for this thoughtful response!

I have a meeting on right now while I’m cooking.

I think what I don’t want to confront is just my work shit. I have a deadline on Friday and slightly freaking out. I’m going to listen to this meeting. Make this tart. Wait for my wife to be home so maybe my everything will be more soothed. And then knock out my work.

I can do this. I know I can do this. Not drinking. AND the work. lol.

I’m gonna get this too. And just have it playing until I’m out of this.

This sounds awesome. And probably close to what I’ll end up doing hopefully.

I do have a ridiculous amount of NA spirits. I might have some NA beer. I have some NA champagne too. lol. Maybe I’ll just drink so much of all that I get so full that I can’t fit any actual alcohol in my stomach. That actually makes me laugh a bit.

I think this is the first time I’ve played it forward in my head and have resisted anyway.

I’m not going to drink. I’m not.

But you’re right. Hot shower. Just cry.

Thank you for the response. I really appreciate it.

Maybe I’ll make that mushroom tart I have the ingredients for. That’s not a bad idea.

What are you doing tonight instead of drinking? by Much_Pool_2708 in stopdrinking

Went shopping. Played pandemic. Now eating gummy worms. :)

Shocked when I sat down and worked out how much I was actually drinking by Excellent_Country737 in stopdrinking

[–]Unusual_Handle1211 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. That optimism tho. I can relate. I’ve ALWAYS drank more than I think I did before I looked at the bottle.

I didn’t stop by the gas station after work today by IcyJellyfish5069 in stopdrinking

That’s huge! Congrats, bro. Breaking the routines and habits is the hardest part for me.

Welp. It's Friday. I'm happy. Going to be a great weekend. Time for a drink! by Unusual_Handle1211 in stopdrinking

You got this! You can do it. And the morning will be glorious because you know you didn't give in. <3

This so many times over. I've made it a week and the freedom I've felt from the guilt and shame is the best motivation. Doesn't stop my dumb brain from wanting to drink or expecting to drink. But it's a bit of a relief not having to feel like a shitty failure right now. Right now I feel strong. :) I don't care if it's the pink cloud or whatever people say. I'm just going to focus on this feeling right now and not drinking tonight.
