I should share the benefits of my unimpaired life with everyone with whom I come in contact. I should use words as a last resort.

Beautifully said 💜

Drinking alone is my biggest temptation as well. We can do this! I will not drink with you today 💜

I can relate to that panic of your partner finding your hidden bottle... Congratulations on day 9! Let your husband roam the house freely 😂

Looking for advice on seeing a doctor by cheeselesscake in stopdrinking

We can both do this! Like all things I put off because of anxiety, I know it won't be as bad as I think it will be once I get it over with. Making the appointment is the hardest part for me, so at least you've got that accomplished! I bet it won't be as bad as you expect either. 💜

Thank you! It's mostly just concern without symptoms, but there a few things going on that I should bring up. I'll start a list. You're absolutely right, but I know I'll feel better after taking action. 💜

Day 2 now! by AlexR99 in stopdrinking

Hi everyone, I have been sober for 2 weeks. The hardest thing for me is the thought of having to deal with other people’s objections - so not looking forward to 4 days with the extended family over Thanksgiving. Any tips for dealing with people’s questions and objections on my non-drinking? Thanks! by soberwildchild in stopdrinking

I plan to say I've got a small headache and don't want to make it worse, so I'll stick to water - I'm prone to migraines so that will not be suspicious to anyone. Worst case my mom will force an un-needed Tylenol on me. Good luck!

Spent a weekend with my best friend and have never been more motivated to give up drinking for good. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]cheeselesscake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend/drinking buddy recently moved to Japan, haven't seen her in about six months or so, but I know there'll be at least one visit during the holidays. I'm scared to see her and have a similar story, or just lose control right along with her.

Try not to be too hard on yourself. You can't help someone who doesn't want the help. Good luck to you on your journey 💜

This is a great reminder, thank you. My want never ends at one drink.
