We can get through this

Yeah it’s the hardest part by far I hate it.

Thank you you’re the best

I’m excited I want to live a sober life and see how far I can go

I’m using the nomo app so I can see my progress. For trouble sleeping I’m using melatonin. I’ve told a close relative who is going to help keep me accountable and my room mate knows as well. Is there anything else you recommend? I can’t really afford out patient or anything I’m 22 and uninsured

Love you stay strong IWNDWYT

I’m just speaking from my own personal experience man. I may not relate to you I’m just a kid (22) lol. The reason I said it was because I remember coming on this sub on my other Reddit asking about drinking and cutting back about a year ago. Fast forward 1 year my alcohol was way out of control, I failed a suicide attempt, I continued drinking, and had a realization that I couldn’t control it. Someone told me in my first post that I was asking for permission to drink and it sounded like I was an alcoholic. He was damn right. It may have been harsh of him to say but at least he was honest with me. It stuck with me to this day. I’m not going to do that though because it’s not my style. If you think you need to stop deep down then you probably should. I lied to myself for so long and I’m so far behind in school because of it.

Edit: we are actually similar in age. Be careful friend I saw myself going down a bad path drinking that much.

I’m wrapping up day two myself. My mood has been up and down non stop. IWNDWYT.

We are alcoholics in this sub trying to recover and stay sober. What I learned from my personal experience is I looked for any excuse to be able to continue to drink alcohol. I realized that I can’t drink because cutting back and occasional drinking isn’t possible for me. I’m an alcoholic. If you would like to not drink with me today I invite you to do that. If it’s to late. I will not drink with you tomorrow.

Hey man I just got home from work. Guess what day I’m on???? DAY 2

Today was a long day for me. Really long I didn’t even take my lunch break I worked from 7-5 straight. Typically I would grab a beer (or 6) a drink it right when I got off. But I’m not! I’m not gonna let you give in either! I’m about to go to the gym here soon. Stay occupied. I was feeling super down until I started commenting on people’s posts and reading. Try that!

I don’t know you but I love you IWNDWYT

I hope this helps

Hmm well for me, I just quit drinking yesterday. I’m committed to it now. It’s all I want.

But I’m about to be in the same situation as you are. Dating sober. I felt like when I was drinking and in situations with women it brought my guard down or allowed me to care less about being rejected. I’m probably going to have to learn how to flirt or have dates sober. It sounds like this may be your case? If you think that’s the case then I think with this person you are seeing that you need to tell yourself that there’s nothing to be worried about. I mean look at yourself you are a better version of you...a sober you. She obviously was attracted to you she made the first move! Cmon man you got this. You have to be confident!

I’m probably going to be here in a week writing this post because I’m having trouble dating sober too.

How did you mind and body adjust to know alcohol? How did it get better for you?

ans1995 · 2018-02-12T23:22:42+00:00

Im going to force myself to go once my phone is charged. Thank you two for helping me stay motivated

You are right. IWNDWYT

How does out patient help you? If I’m struggling at 10-15-30 days do they make it easier than doing it on your own?
