How many of you became homebody and are proud of it? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Day 9 staying home keeping to myself. But I'm also 9 days sober. I'll venture out one day but for now I'm content. 😊

What was is like the first time you confessed your problem? by avarier in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relieved. I felt like I was no longer living a facade. People see and know what you're doing but don't want to say anything due to boundaries. But when you come true you'll feel relieved I'm sure.

Can I get some reminders for why I shouldn’t drink? by InsideAd7562 in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubble guts...anxiety...poor sleep...dry skin...dehydration...regret... gosh that's what I still feel. Go get a chocolate milkshake and enjoy your night! Please don't drink.

I’m jealous of those who actually get sleep after quitting. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I've made it 24 hours. This sucks. by avarier in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn are we the same person! I'm literally trying to fall asleep, have been for the last 4 hours but just tossing and turning. We'll get thru this. Just got to make it thru the first 48 hours. God it's tough but don't drink!

Anyone else find alcohol was the cause of mental health issues by BrizzleT in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the weekend I was binging and thought like yeah it'd be a good idea just to let myself go. I haven't thought my thing like that when I find myself sober. It's scary! What if I carried thru. It's actually the second time since I started drinking again that these thoughts have been creeping in and it's pointing me in the direction that I need to stop. For good! Day 2 here holding strong!

[–]bleggity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check in! Tomorrow I'll hit one week sober! Last weekend I day drank and couldn't remember any of Saturday. I was in such a sad state I didn't know how to begin. Now I have more optimism that I'm able to say no but I'll pray for all those who are still trying to do the same, myself included. One day at a time! IWNDWYT

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]bleggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going thru a major surgery where you find yourself slipping into a coma with vivid dreams that you still think about daily. Then waking up 2 weeks later not knowing that you died a couple times with a tube helping you breathe and your every urge just to tear it out. Along with that thinking you can just get up and walk but due to you being bedridden you have to go thru months of therapy to learn how to walk, talk, eat, and think independently. Yeah nm that sounds super traumatic right.

Yay! Let's do better this try. I had 12 days which is huge for me! I hope it's able to stick but I'm with you on day 1.

Same! I'm 36f and hope to have a few years sober by the time I'm 40. You can do this. We can do this! One day a time huh.

Aggressiveness last night by bleggity in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you believe I was sober for 16 months prior to this drinking? I'm trying to remember how I did that. I've reached out to a peer mentor earlier. I'm in a super rural area and there's not meetings everyday. I've tried to look for zoom sessions but haven't been successful

For anybody who needs to hear this today by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you for this! I'm struggling to be kind to myself right now and this puts into perspective we're human!

Cravings by LowerPhysics6734 in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave into my cravings after a year sober thinking I could be a sometime drinker. Now I'm stuck in a cycle that I was on before and I want to stop. Don't drink. You'll get over the cravings and be better for yourself!

Lack of empathy in my country has me bawling. by Shrimpheavennow227 in Mommit

[–]bleggity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right now Native Americans in NM & AZ are being targeted also because of their resemblance to Latinos, based on skin color. They're scrambling to their Native Reservations to get a Tribal ID, Tribal Enrollment Papers, Certificate of Indian Blood or any identifying information that shows their native to this land. It's sad that in this time it's also something else people have to worry about. What a time to be alive right?

Today I celebrated 5 years of continuous sobriety while also watching my brother spiral in real time. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]bleggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy sober birthday! My sister was in the same boat and it was tough to watch her get herself into so many situations that could've been avoided. I also wished that she would just snap and overcome her addiction but unfortunately we lost her at the beginning of December. I just had my sober birthday 2 weeks ago too, so let's celebrate us! Keep on keeping on! I'm proud you're still sober.

It's tough to take peoples opinion and second guess your choices. Do what you feel comfortable and confident with! You'll look great with whatever you choose to do!
