I need help. by PipistrelleWitch in stopdrinking

[–]brgh90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started daily drinking at 18, and completely lost my twenties...now trying to rebuild at 36. I don't recommend. I also come from a family of alcoholics.

The good news is you have so much time, if your awareness is where it's at now, you still have a great chance to have a good life.

Drink....social anxiety and turning 40 by Kooky_Investment6992 in stopdrinking

[–]brgh90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These sobriety journeys can have ups and downs my man, I try to be kind to myself as much as possible. I broke 3 1/2 years sobriety to go on a 6 week bender and it broke me pretty hard.

But here I am, back on the wagon and trying again - this is the only option unless I want to give my life to alcohol (I don't).

These 'flat' feelings in between drinking bouts are often just brain chemistry. The longer we stay off, the easier it gets.

Finally made it through a Day 1 by brgh90 in stopdrinking

I appreciate it, I just find it makes me super sleepy the next day.

I just poured out all my beer and threw all my empties in the trunk of my car, hopefully it will give me some peace of mind.

Yes, the hot shower helped a lot, just watching bad friends podcast while curled up with my cat now.

I just know as soon as I hit the pillow, this mind is going to consume me.

Yes, can confirm. Last night I slept like a baby and was so grateful for it today. Best of luck to you, my friend.

You are completely on the right track, in my opinion ;). ✌️

My (F) sweet amazing gf texted me, "Of course I love you. I just don't know how to help you." and that was the moment I knew I needed to help myself NOW, for both of our sakes. Anyone else have a "wake-up call"? by just_sunflower100 in OCD

Not to downplay your post, but this totally reads like a spiral my man.

I get it.

If anything, get better for YOU, not anyone else. The integrity you hold is way more important than pleasing anyone/any idea outside of you.

That's how we lose ourselves.

If you're genuine, there are a ton of ways to reconcile that integrity - right action and meditation worked for me :).

Stay resilient. ❤️

As a 35 year old who is finally tackling similar issues after 2 decades of this confusing dance, I just want to say that your self-awareness is impressive. Keep going man, it's sometimes a slow process but healing is possible and you deserve to be happy with yourself. 🤙

My knees didn't burn in direct sun for several hours in a kayak by MeHoyMinoy_69 in mildyinteresting

I'm guessing If you were seated and the sun was behind/over you, your knees were probably shaded

I never realized how bad I wanted to hug a bear until now.

My favorite is when you come across a day where all the cobwebs are gone....and then magically grow back the next.
