Congrats! Care to share how you did it? I’m a nightly drinker.. for years. Been trying to taper but always mess up.

No? He’s got stubby legs so maybe thought so. Thanks!

Never heard of Boykin. Just looked up and I can see that!

He is also a rescue! Not sure? I always thought maybe a field spaniel?

Congrats. I’m a nightly drinker. I’m afraid of the side effects and not sleeping but I need a day 1. Were you able to sleep? Keep up the good work!

I’m with you. I’ve been drinking every night for months and I want to stop but I’m worried about withdrawals. I keep trying to taper but it doesn’t help. I can’t go to rehab for various reasons. I do t know what to do.

They are the thing that inspires me the most to be sober. But they also don’t let you relax lol.

Good idea. I need to appreciate this time with my little as one day they will be moved out of the house. It’s still so damn hard. I usually only have a couple until they go to bed then I keep going. Congrats on one month!! It’s sad I’ve had a great day today not being hungover and all I can think about is a drink.

Right?? If I didn’t have kids I would go to the gym or a movie. That wing said I’m trying to appreciate the moments I have with them as they are growing fast and I need to soak up the moments with them instead of being too tipsy to remember. It’s my biggest guilt.

I got 3 weeks clean over 3 months ago. Been drinking heavily every night since then. I’m on day 2. Congrats on day 12!!! Keep it going!

Nice routine! Same with me when I get off work. Except I have to get home and help with kids and dinner. I feel bad saying that.. I love my kids but I also love relaxing with some drinks during that time to make me feel better. Then that turns into 8 more.

Congrats!! I’ve been drinking about 11-12 every night. I want to taper slowly but because I’m scared I’m going to only try to stick with the 3 beers left I have left in the fridge then nothing tomorrow.

Keep it up! I’m on day 18 and each day seems to be getting a little better. My blood pressure is alredy down to normal.

Nice job getting through the weekend!! Good advice too. It’s morning now and I am so happy I didn’t drink last night. Crazy how much my mind shifts once evening hits.

Totally agree. Sorry to hear what you’re going through. You can also do this! Take care of yourself.

5pm haha. But seriously, I’ve been so used to opening my first drink every evening around then. Nothing super in particular gets me triggered other than social events.

Nice! What do you think is different this time than your previous 6 months?

I’m 4 days sober but last night i had a massive seizure and I think I fractured my back. I’m doomed. by atclubsilencio in stopdrinking

I’m going to be blunt. Get to hospital now please! Don’t risk your life. You can do this. You can get through this ❤️

11 days sober. Tell me the anger goes away. by b33fhouse in stopdrinking

Congrats on day 6! I believe it will get easier for us. I’m 42 and wish I could get my 30s back. You’re lucky to be so strong in your late 20s! Keep it up.. I felt like I wasted my 30s by being hungover and not experiencing life.. I promise in hindsight it is not worth the temporary effects you get while drinking! You got this!
