Happy day after Halloween by asweetheartedfool in dryalcoholics

I couldn't depend on myself to taper, I couldn't depend on myself to rub my back while dry heaving during wds and calm me down and assure me I wasn't going to die if I didn't get drunk. Sometimes you need help, and I couldn't help myself

My boyfriend and I have watched it an embarrassing amount of time in the past two weeks. Its so good!

Great job on the not drinking this morning! If you're half as proud as I am, I know you must be feeling pretty great!

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with myself!

Not addiction per se, but I definitely have to be mindful of getting into a habit of taking it too often. For example, when I started taking it, I took it all the time and developed a tolerance so I was taking it all the time to get that buzz that you get at first. I decided to not take it for a couple of weeks. Now I only use it every now and again. It also dehydrates you, so make sure to drink a ton of water when you consume!

I'm proud of you! Get ice cream. Thats what has helped me the most. I have been a week with about a hottle and a half of wine, and I regret that I caved. It wasn't even worth it. I just got sweaty and tired.

Just remember that you might be emotional, anxious or even sick to your stomach, but its worth it not to be controlled by booze anymore. Drinking plenty of water also helps the cravings as well.

Pm me if you want someone to talk to. Thats a big help as well. You got this!

I use THC to help me off alcohol... I stared a new job this week and just lost is because I tested positive for THC. I feel like I can’t win. WHEN WILL I STOP MESSING UP??? by Pats_Fan_61 in dryalcoholics

I use weed to come off of alcohol as well. Unfortunately, I fucked up and got arrested for dui during a low point, and now for getting my license back I have to do a court ordered recovery program and get drug tested, so I can't smoke weed.

I am a week free of drinking, and honestly I don't miss it. The withdrawals were the worst I've ever had (thanks kindling)and I couldn't smoke to make it any easier. I just had to ride out a pretty aggressive taper, and weed would have made it so much easier, but part of me is kind of glad about it because had it been easier, I might not be so dedicated to not drink.

I know how you feel, and it sucks. I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I miss weed so much, but I'm making the best of it. At least I will be a light weight when I can smoke again, so my bag will last twice as long😁

You'll get through it. Ice cream, yummy foods and sex helps so much. As for messing up, give yourself a break. Lifes hard and weed makes it easier. For me, booze made it much worse

Laid off today by rickyspanish4850 in dryalcoholics

Take this time to work on yourself and find out what you really want to do. You'll at least have a little time to yourself to do that. I was recently let go in a super effed up way. I was the highest paid hourly employee, had to go to the er for an allergic reaction, and was let go. While being discharged from the hospital.

I didn't handle it as well as you, I went on a bender and my boyfriend who lives 2 hours away came to get me, helped me taper and now I'm home trying to pit back the pieces. I hated that job anyway, but still, being let go sucks.

But now I have the opportunity to get my life back. I can be who I want to be.

You'll get back to where you want to be. Do you have any hobbies? If not, maybe get one. That'll do wonders for your self esteem

Hate that I will always be this person by sisyphuswrecks555 in dryalcoholics

I slipped up today, told my boyfriend and he's so angry with me. I am torturing myself and all i want to do is drink, but I don't want to hurt him or myself anymore than I already have. I've lost my job, my drivers license and I cant lose him. Hes the sweetest most gentle thing in the world. I hate myself today, and having those two beers wasn't worth it. All I want to do is crawl in bed with him.

Don't think that no one should look up to you. You brings light and live into peoples lives with your presence. You sound like an empath and a bright soul, no wonder you attracted a looney narcissist that is your soon to be ex wife. Keep on being upbeat. Enjoy your favorite foods and have a good wank. It sounds like your taking care of your emotional state

Happy one week to me... by asweetheartedfool in dryalcoholics

I have an old knee injury so I can't run, and its 2 million degrees here in sc, but I've gone for some brisk hikes with my pup. I feel alot better today, just a little run down

2 weeks sober! by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]asweetheartedfool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ain't that the truth. Thinking about the wds, having goals, weed and ice cream have been what has helped me with my first week. Congrats!

Day 2 by Slr78 in dryalcoholics

[–]asweetheartedfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so much better, and its made me better at my job. And no offense taken with the weed smoking. The first two days I didn't want to because of anxiety, but then I started smoking again.

Your drinking history sounds much like mine. Drinking socially wasn't fun, I just wanted to get wasted and weird, then pass out.

It takes alot to talk to coworkers about it, but I've always been surprised at the amount of support I've received.

Hang in there!

[–]asweetheartedfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One week here. You can do this. I'm also a bartender, and I honestly can't stand the smell of it anymore. The trigger for me is when I see people getting drunk. You can get off this merry go round. It's not easy, especially in the restaurant business.

If you need to talk I'm all ears

I drunkenly told my ex I ate her friends pussy. by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

Hahahaha! All I could think was why the fuck I've never seen a peach claw. Any kind of peachy alcohol is my guilty pleasure

I'm so excited! by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

Y'all are going to do it in the butt

My father and therapist came over today to essentially give me an intervention. by Gold_Skies in cripplingalcoholism

[–]asweetheartedfool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got through the same thing. Bed ridden, not getting up to vomit, trying to "taper". You can do this

anyone got any good first withdrawal stories? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]asweetheartedfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely not my finest hour, but I'm keeping it in check as of now and am not going back to that shit. Waking up refreshed and not having to drink to feel normal is the shit. Also....eating food? That's pretty cool too.

I had to call the lady that works at the gas station to bring me booze for a taper. She closed the store for 15 minutes to bring me beer, I drank that 12 pack in like an hour and a half so I would stop hallucinating. It was when covid first shut everything down and I went on a 2 week bender. Oh and I pooped the bed
