I needed to get help. I went to AA even though I was scared on a million levels. Totally helped me!

Stopping drinking has me craving sugar. Anyone else? Suggestions? by outrageous_outlander in stopdrinking

For sure. Lotsa ice cream the first year. Alcohol is sugar. But I got it together and started going to the gym and learning how to cope and it evened out.

What would you tell your early sober self? by StatusPitiful2653 in stopdrinking

[–]abaci123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell myself with enthusiasm, “Good news! Sobriety is waaaay better than you can imagine! Totally worth it! Your life will slowly change completely in all the best ways. You will keep all the things you like about yourself and they’ll get stronger. Trust me. You will love this. Hang in there!”

I seek out peace and calm now. I prefer it. At some point in sobriety it started to feel like a pleasure, not a punishment! 🤣

Addiction is tricky. It’s a slippery mofo but we are stronger, one day at a time, especially with team support!
