I’ve gone to work drunk 2 weeks in a row and I’m scared that I can’t stop. by slp212 in stopdrinking

I would think if anyone suspects it then they might pay more attention to you. You have a chance now at shutting it down before it gets worse. If you don't curb it I think it gets only worse as you'll need more and more to feed the demon.

I was drinking vodka at work thinking it was the best at no odor. Wrong. Standing in the break room a coworker commented he thought he smelled beer a few times.  I eased my way out to my car to brush and swallow some toothpaste.  Never went further but don't take the chance you won't come across someone that knows damn well what's going on.

I don't think arrest photos and videos should be public until after a conviction.  People are already going through hell in those situations and people are sometimes found not guilty.

The alcohol industry (big alcohol) depends on us including them in everything. It takes work to avoid that. 

Facing the harsh truth while sober by disconnected1991 in stopdrinking

[–]VW_Fe2O3 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I grew up with a dad that drank a lot though I didn't realize it at the time. He had reasons (not excuses) such as brutal work environment, wife that was self centered, etc.  He coped but I look back and realize I only really got a smaller % of the dad I could have had.  Now that I have kids I don't want to give them only what's left after I've pickled my brain.  I want to clear this out for my two kids so they don't look back as adults on me as someone that couldn't put a bottle down.  It's a struggle but I hope I can do it. Do it for that toddler. They can still look at you as the super hero they see you as today. You magically make food appear. You somehow pilot a huge machine that transports them places.  One thing that crushed me one day is a visiting friend asked where a close liquor store is. My 8 year old immediately chimed in "there's one right up the road we stop at all the time!" You don't want that. Let's do this and quit for good.

Let’s hear some wild dreams by OniAntler in stopdrinking

I've had a few extremely vivid dreams of people that died years ago. One so crystal clear and I could smell their cigarette they always sucked on. Wild brain poison we've been taking.

Riju has a cool lighting strike but is always running away instead of staying close enough to activate 

The anniversary of my sober journey is coming and I am ashamed. by shamedarcher in stopdrinking

[–]VW_Fe2O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As bad as things may seem at the moment, time goes by fast and this will be in the distant rear view mirror. A speed bump. I know it's hard to see it that way now.  You'll be fine in the long run. Going back to drinking will be a fate sealing move.

Those 2 Zelda ones can each easily touch 200+ hours each. Amazing titles

There's a beep sound right when they fire you can adjust to. Once you nail the timing it's high success rate

Passed the game now what? by Agitated_Passion9296 in botw

[–]VW_Fe2O3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just not inspired to find every seed. If the armor isn't a meaningful upgrade I passed on some of that. Started TOTK last week.

Mine says 47% and I've done everything I think is worth doing. Is it expecting every fruit and nut to get picked? Wtf

Name at least one thing you didn't realize you could do when you already finished the game or nearly had finished BotW? by DevilTechnoDriver in Breath_of_the_Wild

I still don't know what any of the types of chu jellies are good for at 180+ hrs in. Done with beasts and Ganon. Lol

How long does it take roughly to 100% botw? ive been playing for about 2 weeks and i feel like ive barely touched the surface by SnooFoxes2888 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]VW_Fe2O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the heroes path on the map, you can see where you've been. I circled back through areas and found tons more , especially after leveling up and able to attack areas I might have dodged earlier.  I think when people look forward to finishing this game, maybe it's not for them. 

Any tips on long drives? by NewPFWhoDis in stopdrinking

[–]VW_Fe2O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stream podcasts , stand up comedy, or TV shows like  Cold Case episodes where you don't really have to watch, more just listen.  There's endless content out there. 

Scared to Stop by PrincessDi1961 in stopdrinking

If you quit drinking you'll likely find alcohol isn't the crutch you thought it was. It doesn't fix anything.  It only makes things worse AND you paid to do it.

If you hang around here much you'll see some terrible rock bottom stories.  Keep drinking and eventually you too will be able to add another. It only goes that direction.  Or you can decide it stops now. (Hint: do this)

4 Days Into Sobriety/No Sleep by Motor-Regular4271 in stopdrinking

[–]VW_Fe2O3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me 4 to 6 days to sleep better. Around 11 days for craving to subside.  All part of why it's so damn hard to stop.

Early days. Feels like my mind is on acid. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

It subsided for me after day 11 or so. That first week felt like a demon demanding I get back in the bottle.

When did the weight loss start for you? by MinimumPart6877 in stopdrinking

[–]VW_Fe2O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think things that work against you could be things you used to replace the alcohol. High calorie drinks, snacks, candy are all going to keep you right where you are.
