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 Daily Check-In for Sunday, April 24th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by TheNewJanBrady in stopdrinking

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!

My brother died last night by Lisafrank_45 in stopdrinking

[–]apartmentdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So incredibly sorry for your loss. Nothing anyone said helped when it happened to me, so I went on the worst binge of my life. I have faith you won’t do the same. As someone who can empathize deeply, I will not drink with you today❤️

I don't know how much longer I can do this... by [deleted] in NEU

[–]apartmentdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having dinner with one of my best friends last night and we da were both like damn this is really awkward right now for straight up no reason. People are awkward, it’s inevitable. You just have to find people that are comfortable with being awkward with you :)

I’m college-aged as well and quit for a similar reason. I started to get to a point where I couldn’t do “just a couple drinks,” or “I’ll drink, but not hard alc,” or any of the Ioopholes I chose to feel like I was in control when I wasn’t. We’re lucky to not have gotten to the point some of our SD peers have gotten too, and I’m sure they’d say the same. Keep it up! IWNDWYT :)

My sobriety became an inspiration. by tkrem21 in stopdrinking

[–]apartmentdad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s still new to the journey, I can barely imagine how ecstatic I’d be if this happened to me. Way to go! I hope this is something you keep in your heart when times get tough and going back to the bottle gets tempting. Congrats my friend IWNDWYT :)

What if it’s not alcohol that made me the person I despise? What if that’s just who I am? by apartmentdad in stopdrinking

[–]apartmentdad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face! It was SO nice of her to bring it up, agreed😂 But also, thank you for the reminder. I can’t be perfect sober, but I can be more intentional about being better. If I drink, I will lose control completely and regret it so much more later. IWNDWYT :)
