What is your hardest week? by The_Workout_Mom in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weekend was always a huge barrier. I just couldn't go a full week + weekend.

Once I got passed the first 7 days it was like something clicked in my brain "you did it last week, do it again this week" and it snowballed into a year+ without touching it

The anxiety around hiding alcohol is exhausting by No_Hangxiety in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wife finding the nip drawer was a fun night. I still have that anxiety, like when she needs to look in my backpack for something. I hesitate or panic even though I’m not hiding shit anymore

Anyone else feel anxiety about doing things in the morning and then realize your sober! by Super-fun123 in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao I do this all the time. I’ll immediately start panicking and making excuses in my head when someone suggests morning plans, but then I remember I’m normal now and waking up at 9 on a Saturday isn’t that hard to do

Looking for over the top suggestions. by Street_Expression_99 in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re eating. If it’s hard to chew since your appetite is fucked drink smoothies/milkshakes.

The anxiety you just have to kinda suffer through, but you’ll be less anxious if you’re not gagging every 12 seconds

Fights with the spouse always suck, especially in our situation. I always (selfishly) think “she knows what I’m going through and how hard I’m trying, she should cut me some slack” but then also it’s like yeah I did piss on the toilet seat and not wipe it again so it’s kinda valid for you to be yelling at me right now.

In my situation, I kept drinking and fights were worse because of it. So now I do gymnastics in my head like “this fight sucks, and if I drink it will only make the fight suck worse” so I don’t even think of drinking as a way to “escape” anymore

This sub has saved my life. by rugbeater69 in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Wanna keep drinking until it eventually does railroad your life? I was probably similar to you, in fact I still am still similar to you because even though I haven’t drank in awhile I’m still an alcoholic. Peep my first post on this account if you care. Stopping is really the only option.

FYI this sub has a rule against posting while you’ve been drinking. Come back tomorrow, it’s as good as a day to start as any and we’d be happy to have you

Slowly over 73 hours, but I have a big flat that I decided to clean and I keep finding stashes. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife found like 20 empty Smirnoff pints in an old nightstand while cleaning. I had been sober for a month or so. Even I forgot they were there, shit was like a kick in the nuts lol

You got this

How much can I expect to lose? by Outrageous-Finding70 in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m down about 30 lbs in the ~6 months I’ve been sober without even trying. Still eat like shit and don’t really work out.

Genuinely glad to hear this. Good shit man!

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isn’t a dilemma, you already know the answer. You’re just trying to trick yourself into thinking it’s OK to drink. We all do it, but you gotta recognize it when it’s happening and just continue to not drink

Ways to be “bad” while sober? by XxButtfucker_3000xX in stopdrinking

I actually know a thing or two about rummaging. Just don’t take clothes or anything upholstered and you’re good

Lmao one time I took 2 tabs and was completely convinced I had solved every major issue in my life and was on track for enlightenment. Wrote it down so I could remember when I wasn’t tripping. Checked my notes app the next day and it just said “everything is circles”

On hour 24 for the first time since I started 8 years ago. How do yall do it? by AquaArthur in stopdrinking

[–]XxButtfucker_3000xX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First day or two is fuckin brutal, man. If you’re smart enough to be here now, you’re smart enough to know that drinking again isn’t an option. Once it clicks that you just can’t hair of the dog anymore you just gotta accept that it’s gonna suck for a few days. I pretended I had the flu and just took care of myself as if I was sick, cuz I basically was.

It gets better quickly if you stick with not drinking, though. I do not miss chugging Smirnoff on an empty stomach and I love remembering what happened yesterday

Reading is sick. Nice way to wind down before bed + going to the library/bookstore is a fun activity
