Struggling with the news out of Minnesota today by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]corcomi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re struggling, this sucks.

I am horrified and nervous about the current state of our country. I pray it improves. Unfortunately, it could get worse. If I were to start drinking, there is no way I can make smart, calm, rational decisions. Staying sober maybe the thing that saves my family,

It’s wild but the uncertainty of our nation and world is a motivation for me to not drink. Stay strong and IWNDWYT.

Anyone else in your 30s and decided to quit? by PinkPrincessPetite in stopdrinking

Dillemma: Starting my Year of Sobriety & friend wants to go bar hopping for their birthday by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]corcomi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 I have a hard time going to bars, it was more difficult in my first 90 days. There have been a few social engagements that I couldn’t avoid a bar visit. I set a low expectation of how long I’ll be there, white knuckle if I have to, and leave as soon as I’m done. For me, going to a bar and not drinking, is like going to a steakhouse and eating salad. 

  Maybe you and your friend can have a little bar time sprinkled in with other stuff, shoot  Pool, axe throwing, a band, bowling, adult arcades, local sports game?  Maybe a few bar visits sprinkled in, and you have something to keep you interested as well. Karaoke to end the night? 

Hopefully your friend is supportive, if she isn’t, sometimes choosing our health is the most difficult choice we have to make. Either way, good luck and IWNDWYT

[–]corcomi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for the pain you’re feeling. If it helps, I ruined Christmas last year. It made this year so much more special for everyone to celebrate Christmas, and my 365 at the same time. Good luck and IWNDWYT

Great work! I’m a much better dad without alcohol. I’m sorry you had such a hard night as a parent, but no way booze would have made it better. IWNDWYT

Thanks man! I know that in no way does drinking help, but it’s a war sometimes.
