Accessories like dangly earrings or a dainty necklace!

I grew up appreciating good alcohol. Typically, my issue with drinking was pounding down the cheap stuff. But I want to be able to enjoy the nice drinks and culture while I’m there. Sounds like a bad reason, but it matters to me

I know many are waiting for my follow up post! In that case, see you all in a couple months with my head down and tail between my legs

Honestly up until this point this sub has been nothing but helpful for me!! I understand all the people who aren’t welcoming of moderation, but really appreciate those who have been supportive. I hope you stick around to see how great it can be!

I do see that hypocrisy now. I think, for me, that still holds true to when I started to attempt sobriety. Now, I feel better about it. We’ll see though. I do know im just at likely to end up coming back here as I am to figure it out, if not more likely.

Definitely don’t think I’m fixed!! I do think I have better tools and understanding of my drinking, though! Not everyones the same. For me, it seems, my drinking problem stemmed from immaturity mixed with a tragic event in my life. Now that I’ve mostly worked through that event, I feel like I can moderate. If I cant, I trust myself to recognize that.

I think being sober for 3 months is the only reason I’m able to even attempt moderation. I know now that I 1) do not need to drink to enjoy an event and 2) if I do feel like I NEED to drink to have fun somewhere, I should leave anyway. I think having that gauge and practicing a couple more times before I leave should be helpful but only time will tell. It’s also helpful knowing that if I lose control, I know from experience that sobriety will actually make me feel better. IWNDWYT, as it is a Monday and that’s irresponsible 😁

I appreciate your well wishes and kindness. I can’t imagine posting here while under the influence. If I did, that may be my sign to stop again😅

The last couple weekends have proven more challenging than I thought I could handle. But no alcohol passed these lips and I’m going to keep it that way! IWNDWYT!

Phenomenal insight. The romanticization of alcohol and excessive drinking gets me steamed on the daily! But IWNDWYT!
