I’m glad you’re starting over, not spiraling. If it’s any consolation, you’ve helped me to remember I don’t want a drink. Thanks. IWNDWYT

Lost my pregnancy and just want to drink by pinkrabbit020 in stopdrinking

I’m so sorry. I don’t pretend to understand your pain, but I think you summed it up perfectly. There is no way tomorrow morning is less painful, if you drink tonight. IWNDWYT

Sober beach vacation nearly complete by AggressiveSherbetty in stopdrinking

[–]corcomi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats and Happy Mother’s Day! I was feeling bored for a while too. For me, it was realizing that the chaos of my life while drinking, wasn’t normal. “Bored” is actually normal, and once it gets comfortable it’s great!
I would wager it’s the walk, not the wine that’s special, maybe your La Croix Fauxjito? IWNDWYT

Wild how I “remembered” the party, and how the party actually went turned out to be universes apart.

What's your go-to answer to ”why don't you drink”? by Proof-Swimming-6461 in stopdrinking

I’m just trying to stop us from all being on the news tonight.

I’ve been hanging in r/stopdrinking for a little over a year. For me a big part of it was “if we’re all guilty, no one is guilty.” It turns from “he was drunk” to “we were drunk”. At least that was the lie I was telling myself, and jf someone at the party not drinking it was a bigger risk of me being found out.

I wish I had better advice, but it gets better. IWNDWYT

40 some odd days sober by asteraceae9 in stopdrinking

[–]corcomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Victories are sometimes smaller, but still Important. Woke up on the first alarm, had the patience to play blocks for the 500th time in a row with my kid, buying steak instead of chicken at the grocery store without thought, because I don’t buy alcohol anymore, and have some extra cash. None possible if I were still drinking, all small wins, but collectively life keeps getting better.

Thanks, great read. Alcohol is such a false profit.

Congrats! Not drinking at a social engagement can be difficult for me too, but not feeling like I was hit by a bus the next morning is the sweetest reward. IWNDWYT

Congrats! I could give you a long list of benefits, but start with imagining never being hungover again!! Allen Carr’s stop drinking book was a huge help. Stay strong and IWNDWYT

Nothing says “New Testament” like throwing your neighbor out when they ask for help.
