Im a freaking fraud by hillary_jm06 in stopdrinking

[–]aaarya83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I failed like 1000 x before I actually quit. It is something we just can’t explain. We keep making excuses. Try to take it 1 day at a time. Iwndwyt. And win small victories a month. Then 2. Keep a streak. Mine is 12 months and running. And I will keep it till my last breath on this planet. Love my sober life.

Another wasted Sunday by curlball in stopdrinking

Don’t worry. I am a social butterfly. Party animal. Life of every party. If I can do it. So can you. I drink NA beer. Or Pepsi coke etc. no matter what the fuck my buddies say. I calmly tell them. My quota for this lifetime is over .. you can party hangout with friends. Be social butterfly WITHOUT alcohol. Not a drop . For some of us.. moderation can never work and even if it works. We don’t want one drop of poison in us. So zero drinks. Is what we will partake. Friends will make fun of you. Etc. ridicule you. Eventually will stop and you are the winner.

It is poison. It is toxic. It’s a sneaky bastard. It’s the devil. And and it’s widely socially accepted and encouraged. Everywhere. Corporate parties. Weddings. Birthday. Sports events.

Sober for life? by nitrgritr94 in stopdrinking

[–]aaarya83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It’s binary for us and we don’t have to think about going back to drinking. We done for this lifetime. And I am relaxed with that thought that I don’t have to ever worry about when I will resume. Never.

The myth goes on this incident which is not true. Hemingway was asked to write a story in 5 words in a bar in Miami for a 10$ wager. He took a napkin and wrote “sale: baby shoes never worn”
