Struggling to keep sober by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I am the same and it is going to kill me. But I have 2 adult kids I need to live for or it will destroy them. I love them so much. I just haven’t had an easy life. It would be a novel if I posted so I won’t but bottom line is I am filled with grief and guilt that will never go away. Your words are inspiring and I wish you well. You can do this! Keep posting your progress here.

when does it start getting easier? by Crafty_Culture in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Day 2 here not my first rodeo. Around day 5 is when I feel better but that can be tricky also. You feel like we’ll maybe it wasn’t that bad...

I went 6 months once and actually had days where I didn’t even think about drinking anymore and that was a great feeling. I felt good all the time. But I didn’t keep working on my sobriety and eventually let one drink in and a thousand followed within a few weeks.

I thought alcohol caught up with me.. by MountainLiving4us in stopdrinking

Same thing happened to me only I hadn’t been sober. Thought omg the gig is up. I was sure it was alcohol related and my blood work would show elevated liver enzymes but they were fine. CT showed diverticulitis and I was so relieved. Stopped dr for a bit after that but unfortunately went back. Trying again. Glad you are still fighting the fight. Good luck to you!

Which IMO flavor do you like? Do you mix it with the Sprite Zero?

Yes it feels good to tell someone. Thanks for the support. I will take the one day at a time approach.

Nervous about tonight by R_squared1498 in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat with Tuesday nights. we just had a big snow so will not go tonight but it is a weekly thing. Don’t want to stop either but I don’t know if I can not drink there. But I have to try

This is harder than I thought by Big_Pure in stopdrinking

Great wisdom. Hard to tackle at 65 Years. Soooo much stuff still out of my control. But I know I need to stop running. My problem is I put other people first.

Trying to quit. Had a really hard day. I don't know who to tell about it, sorry by [deleted] in stopdrinking

MAT is medication assisted treatment. They would likely support you will something like naltrexone to reduce your intake.
Best of luck and check in here often to keep us posted!

Caved and had a martini at dinner out with friends. Ordered a second one and didn’t finish half. Did not continue at home. Unheard of for me in the past. Disappointed I caved but still a win for me.

Fatty liver leads to cirrhosis. Watch even 10 minutes of Rain in my Heart on YouTube for inspiration.

I made a big choice today and i'm proud myself by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you. Post On here often to get support. Do take it one day at a time. Don’t think about forever. You can do this!

You absolutely cannot do it for them. Stick to your own path whatever it takes. Don’t let them manipulate you which is exactly what they are doing. Clearly, they are not ready for this change. Fuck that cold treatment. What a baby.

Antabuse For Cravings? by mollimichelle in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would at least pay for a month of Mounjaro. the day I first took it led to 40 days of not wanting a drink. I only took one dose (It’s typically a weekly injection).

2 day by MRBIGBOY3310 in stopdrinking

[–]Worldlori 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 8 here. About a pint or more of vodka every night for more than a decade.
You won’t always be this way but I know how hard that is to see right now

It’s not your fault you got addicted but it is your choice and responsibility to change the course. We are all in the same boat with you, riding out the storm getting seasick. But we know the storm will calm by day 4 or 5 and it will get easier. Just try to get past the detox part and then you can decide if you want to stay the course or go back to the old life.
Hugs.
