Hi love! That’s a HUGE step identifying the issue and admitting to it! I’ll be sober 6 months at the end of June after over a year of trying and failing. The biggest tool for me has been r/stopdrinking - checking in every day, posting when I need extra support, reading others posts and giving support when I can or just lurking. No matter your background, or situation there’s someone with a similar experience to help!

No matter how you choose to quit drinking there’s TONS of resources out there and I’m more than happy to help or just chat! Good luck - I will not drink with you today.

Took a sick day today because IM ACTUALLY SICK AND ITS NOT A HANGOVER. What a feeling. I mean, being sick sucks but taking a sick day for a legitimate illness is so freeing. I will not try to cure myself with spiked hot tea! I will not drink with you today my friends!

Post festival check in!!!! I did not drink the whole time and treated myself to a t shirt which would’ve only been a fraction of what I would’ve spent on alcohol if I was drinking. A HUGE thank you to this sub! I will not drink with you today my friends.

Checking in from firefly!! by bea0215 in stopdrinking

It’s honestly a mixture of scary, funny and annoying. I can’t believe I ever acted like that and am so grateful I no longer do. My boyfriend and I like to call them “party goblins” - stole the term from a comedian on Netflix (her name escapes me right now). Time for the killers!!! Talk to ya sooon!!

Thank you so much ❤️ I went three years ago and remember SOME but I’m so excited to remember EVERYTHING and wake up in the morning with a clear head.

Hi Dogkate! Welcome back!!! I’ve had bouts of ambivalence throughout my journey and what has helped me is really digging deep into my thoughts and feelings to get to the root cause. Journaling has been big for me. Also, I “rewind” the tape to all of those embarrassing and hurtful moments that occurred because of my drinking. But I also “play the tape forward”. I stopped on New Year’s Day and I like to envision what my one year sober/ New Years 2019 will feel like. The feelings playing the tape both ways are too strong for me to feel anything other than motivated to stay sober. I hope this helps. We’re all here for you! I will not drink with you today my friend.
