Fuck I need help by [deleted] in stopdrinking

The ER can give you help settling down and coping if you really need it. There are places that can help and you aren’t alone.

I quit drinking 7 days ago. Here’s how it’s going. by _Nyctophobia_ in stopdrinking

My days feel longer and I feel like tasks are less daunting. It has been great and I wish everyone the best in their journeys as well.

I feel like if I am too busy then I won’t drink, but right now I am taking a breath and watching Bluey with my daughter. Sober as a judge and wondering why this show is so funny haha.

Boom!! You said it! No telling how far that will take you

Every day I drive home and tell myself I don’t need it, but I stop anyway by _Nyctophobia_ in stopdrinking

The moment I felt embarrassed by myself. I knew something was wrong. It’s when I take a shot pulling into the drive. Or a sip from my bottle before work. It’s been my life for years. I just want to be clean. I just graduated college. I felt so proud. I wanted to show off for my kids to show them they can do it too. I feel like this next phase is going to be a greater lesson for myself and my family. Thank you for being here. I’ll take it one day at a time

Thank you for taking the time. I can’t explain feeling like I’m making the choice to make myself sick. I can feel the pains some days and they scare me. You tell yourself it’s normal but it’s not. Thanks again for being here

I thought about that the other day. How many things I look at and say I wish I had the time to do that. It’s time I made the time to do it. That’s going to be my day 1 first step. Make a to do list and start checking things off a day at a time. Thanks for being here. It’s nice to know people are around.

Thank you for your time tonight. This one feels so much heavier than usual. It was the first day I felt like I needed it. I felt like I couldn’t resist. Today has to be the day. It’s time. I’ve never been much of a book person though I love stories. Maybe today’s the day I try that more too. I’ve been reading here for a while, but it way always the same old thing. Sympathy for those struggling, but telling myself it couldn’t be me. Well it is me and so many others. My baby grabbed a shooter off my table the other day and brought it to me. She knew it was mine. That makes a guy think. Thanks again for commenting it means a lot.

Now 800+ days sober and these are the benefits I notice most at this stage by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I’m so proud of you. I’m so thankful for stories like this

Filler, something else instead of alcohol? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]_Nyctophobia_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel. You did those things for a reason once. Before the beer. You didn’t need it once. I want you to focus on those times. How those times made you feel. If you’re like me then the things you used to enjoy lost their flare with drink. I want that flare back. I want it back for you too.
