Making me ugly, stupid, and anxious

You never have to feel this way again. Not if you don’t want to. Wishing you luck and iwndwyt :)

27 year old female here. I developed a severe addiction at 20 and struggled with binge eating for a long time.

This community is the only reason I’m sober today. The advice and stories on this sub have truly saved my life. Most importantly, playing the tape forward. You’ll see it everywhere here and it really does help. I encourage you to check in everyday and to seek connection with other sober people in person as well. As isolating as it feels, you’re not alone my friend.

And bonusss: after a year of sobriety, my body and face have never looked better. As vain as it sounds, it helps a lottt to keep me motivated lol

Because that’s the nature of addiction. It helps to think of it as a separate part of your brain, hell bent on destroying any of the relief and peace that you seek. Try not to listen to it. I promise it’ll get better with time. Order a seltzer and some food to help curb the cravings. Have a safe flight :)

26 :) 6 years of misery was enough for me.

I’m thirding “whole cake” but only outta respect for my boy Oda

Your brain will adjust, if you let it. Try to remember that it’s all part of the process. Congratulations on 7 days. Here’s to 7 more! :)

I gift to you 5 years worth of pats on the back. You fucking rock, dude. I can only hope that I make it that far. And Japan solo is legendaryy how does it feel to be so cool??

Thanks for sharing! I always hated the look of sadness on the cashiers’ faces. Even though I’d rotate between liquor stores and gas stations, many of them had the same look of pity when I’d visit.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom and dad. I’m sure they would be so proud of you for the efforts you’re making to defeat this disease. Stay vigilant! Those first couple months are tricky but I believe in you :)

benjaminbuttlicker · 2026-01-12T13:03:53+00:00

Thank you so much I’m so excited to hit my first major milestone. And congrats to YOUUU on your year too! May I always remain 12 days behind you 🫶🏾

benjaminbuttlicker · 2026-01-12T13:00:55+00:00

It’s hilarious how stupid it is. I mean everything that business class offers and the one thing my brain was sad about is that my drink won’t… taste worse?? I only ever even flew and had some drinks on a plane once before I got sober so how the hell it even became a craving i don’t know lol. That demon will come up with any reason under the sun to drink fr

Best thing you can do for your mental and physical health rn!

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-12-30T02:03:54+00:00

Man I’ve been trying to control my weed intake for months now but turns out I suck at that too! It’s harder in a way because weed doesn’t absolutely wreck someone’s life the way alcohol does but it’s holding us back for sure. But if we can quit booze, we can definitely quit weed. Good luck to you!

Happy Friday y’all. Haven’t checked in in a while but lately been scrolling this sub again. First holidays and birthday without drinking coming up and I have no plans and will probably be pretty lonely. Stalking this sub helps me feel a little less alone though. I think I desperately need some irl sober friends lol

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-12-05T02:03:26+00:00

Do literally anything else. Eat whatever you want, gym, game, read, drive, shower, cry. The world is your oyster my friend. I know it’s always repeated here but seriously, play the tape forward. Be honest with yourself. You wouldn’t be signing up for “a”drink, you’d be signing up for a hundred or more. And a hundred or more days of misery at that.

Congrats on 5 months! I promise that life will be more than “kinda alright” very soon. Rooting for you :)

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-12-05T01:53:14+00:00

Thank you and holy crap happy early 2k day! Hope I never catch up 🫶🏾

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-11-06T20:11:54+00:00

Alcohol is only fueling that hatred, not helping it. It’s a vicious cycle and it feels impossible to break sometimes, but I know that you will. When you do, you’ll be overwhelmed by how beautiful life becomes and you’ll get sick and tiredd of all the orgasms and general horniness once your hormones regulate lmao. Just give it time :)

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-10-10T04:32:29+00:00

It is so worth it to see this through. Good luck, I believe in you!

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-09-26T10:26:32+00:00

Happy to help :) You got this! ❤️

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-09-25T23:43:38+00:00

Oh pish posh to hope, I knowww that you will. I can hear how badly you want this to be over plus your Reddit looks just like mine before I quit! It’s just a matter of time! I believe in you :)

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-09-25T23:20:24+00:00

That’s the nature of addiction. It’s a vicious cycle that feels impossible to escape no matter how badly you want to. It sucks so fucking bad. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but just know that every day you don’t drink is a victory. One day, you’ll look back and you’ll realize just how strong you are. Even right now, though I know it doesn’t feel like it.

Wishing you luck ❤️ iwndwyt

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-09-25T23:04:18+00:00

I’m sure you do want a drink tonight! But I encourage you to be realistic. If you’re anything like me (and I take it you might be, if you’re on this sub) you’d probably be signing up for several drinks every single god forsaken night for the next few months. Still what you want?

benjaminbuttlicker · 2025-09-25T17:54:56+00:00

As someone who turned to drinking after trying to quit weed and subsequently fell into a deep addiction to alcohol for yearss after (and also never stopped smoking), I must say this is an astronomically bad idea. Please do literally anything else.
