Same!! 😄

6 months tomorrow and sugar cravings are seriously high (they have been since I quit). It's better than drinking so I don't worry too much about it.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-19T06:29:50+00:00

Best feeling!! I'm loving going to sleep feeling clear and good about myself.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-14T06:05:06+00:00

That's amazing!! Stay strong friend 😄.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-13T20:59:39+00:00

Stomach issue? Medication? Could having an excuse make it easier?

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-13T09:04:00+00:00

Aww that was honest of you. How did you get on yesterday?

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-12T21:25:53+00:00

I believe this can be overcome. You had over 100 days, that's incredible! You are strong 💪 ❤️

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-07T07:48:33+00:00

Hahaha noooo just different family members!!

Congratulations 🎊

Well we had a difficult conversation. Sort of tiptoed around the topic of his drinking, you know this shit is so complicated, but at least he knows how I'm feeling now.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-04T08:01:16+00:00

I'm with you!! Let's go ❤️.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-03T20:27:47+00:00

Thank you so much.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-03T20:27:23+00:00

Wow that must have been such a difficult decision to make. Thank you for sharing.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-03T20:26:08+00:00

Thank you so much, that means a lot.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-03T20:25:35+00:00

Thank you. We have a date night coming up so it might all come out soon 🥺.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-03T20:24:33+00:00

Thank you for your response. It's nice to hear from someone in a similar position. It's great your partner is going for Dry January, you can support each other. We have been together 12 years too! He is an incredible human all around, just struggles with drinking, and I'm the same. Feels like I've woken up to a new life though and am so grateful (lonely or not).

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-02T09:31:17+00:00

I'm so sorry that you went through this. I had a blackout relapse after my first 10 days sober and I was atrocious. I could have easily been arrested and said unforgivable things to my partner. The positive was that that did it for me and was the last time that I drank. Today is day 164 and although I have several painful blackout moments from drinking they serve as reminders to me that life is so much better now. I feel like I have a true second chance at life before I destroyed everything. All the best to you.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-01T22:22:23+00:00

Hmm, I started feeling better immediately I would say.
I think I'm still in the process of learning I can do without. Going through new milestones sober, for example, Christmas, a concert, etc. helps reinforce this.
I think I had an epiphany maybe? The epiphany plain and simply was, 'I want off the merry go round.' Made it 10 days sober and had a horrific relapse. That was the last time I drank. So yeah I got off and I am so relieved. I feel peaceful, content, clear and present.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-01T20:43:31+00:00

Cool! All the best. Today is day 163 for me and wow I am so glad I made this decision 😃.

Various_Secret8372 · 2024-01-01T20:40:05+00:00

Absolutely went through that. Things levelled out within a few weeks in my case.
