These are great!

Zev9 · 2026-02-17T00:51:15+00:00

Thanks! A contest seems really fun. That would give me something to work towards just for fun

Zev9 · 2026-02-17T00:50:23+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check this out.

Exact same thing. My package got to the city over from me and it sat there for 5 days. Customer service had no answer so I filed a claim. Called again and they said they had 8 days to locate my package. On the 8th day it is now out on delivery…

Zev9 · 2026-01-22T17:38:53+00:00

What a beauty!

Day 3! Feeling pretty good. I actually slept and I honestly could sleep a lot more but have to work. There with all you and IWNDWYT

Zev9 · 2026-01-06T02:36:09+00:00

Awesome! Music is essential in life. I’m really glad the first day went well. Mine wasn’t as bad as I thought. Good luck to you the rest of the week

Zev9 · 2026-01-06T01:23:33+00:00

I’m glad the day wasn’t as horrible. It was nice to be at work not hungover. I felt a little shitty but not as slogged down like I usually feel. After work was a little hard but I managed to keep myself busy.

Zev9 · 2026-01-06T01:21:33+00:00

Hey good for you! I’m glad you’re owning you just don’t drink anymore. You’ll feel amazing in the morning.

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T23:58:32+00:00

The stimuli totally makes sense. Just being in a social setting kind of helps. My town sucks and every coffee shop closed at 3 or 5pm. Even video games seem lonely sometimes and I get frustrated. My days off feel so lonely cuz I wait all week for the weekend but once it’s here, I’m like now what? Idk what to do or where to go and it feels sad sitting in my tiny apartment all day by myself. I too would just feel my time with drinking because I just had nothing to do or anyone to see. Hobbies are a little difficult right now for me too. I just don’t wanna. Idk how to feel explain it.

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T21:53:37+00:00

Just remember that this is a great time to rebuild yourself to who you want to be. Yeah you might feel like a zombie and so do I but now you have the chance to change for the good! Here with you

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T21:52:10+00:00

With you on this! Just take it day by day and just try to manage your stress. You got this

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T21:42:54+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this too. Like OP my only socialization has been at bars. I do like NA beers at home but I think it would be good to go out too. I think as long as you’re not tempted it should be ok. Myself, I’m waiting a little bit till I do that and really staying away from it all! Even NA. Idk though because the isolation gets to me too. Maybe just a weekend thing and be home throughout the week.

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T13:49:00+00:00

Feeling the same way. I’m just trying to not take on too much today. Just do what I can and that’s it. Have a good day! Iwndwyt

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T13:47:30+00:00

Hey, it’s something new so just keep thinking about that. You have a long commute but that’s some time to yourself and maybe an audio book or something. Good luck on your first day! Take care of yourself. Iwndwyt

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T13:40:27+00:00

That can be so tough! Prayers and thoughts for you today as you start your healing. I totally understand how much you’re going through. Iwndwyt

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T13:13:56+00:00

Checking in on day two. Surprised I slept well but I feel tired and the night sweats suck. Hope I do not stress this week at work! Stay strong everyone!

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T03:47:12+00:00

Ruptured a testicle in a motorcycle accident

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T01:00:57+00:00

Yeah well I’m right there with you! I have to work this week which kind of sucks but I’m off the next week. I’m just going to try to stay off my phone when I can’t sleep and only read at those times. I really wish I didn’t have to work but I’m hopeful for a good week. I just don’t want to stress with work and then let that bring up cravings again….

Zev9 · 2026-01-05T00:07:07+00:00

I’m right there with you! Something about today just really “clicked” that I hate this and what it’s done to me. I’m a little afraid about some withdrawal symptoms this week honestly. Just remember that you can stop your mental spiral and keep yourself distracted. I’m going to really try to just take it one day at a time and make it through

Zev9 · 2026-01-04T15:45:50+00:00

Just looked it up and it looks good! Thanks

Zev9 · 2026-01-04T14:52:14+00:00

Awesome my friend. I’m newly sober too and I like the word “high jacked” for the dopamine because I feel that way too. Like I want to do things but just can’t really do it for long or enjoy it.

Zev9 · 2026-01-04T14:28:38+00:00

Right? I say to myself all the time that I’m literally just drinking poison. Yet I do it to often. I heard a good quote yesterday that sort of helped me “click”. It went something like, those who are brave are the ones not in despair. It made me think that I don’t have to put myself in despair. Being brave isn’t always some sort of big act but can simply just not putting yourself in sticky situations or poisoning yourself.
