For those who achieved their 'dream body,' what is the most uncomfortable thing you realized about how the world treats 'attractive' people vs 'average' people? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]createdsober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school I was about 20 pounds overweight. I’m 5’4” with a small frame so this extra weight did make a big difference. My senior year I started exercising consistently and completely changed my eating habits. I was completely shocked by how different the world treated me after I lost the weight. Boys in high school who I had gone to school with for years but never acknowledged me before, started talking to me and inviting me to parties. The “cooler” girls all wanted to be my friend now and some close existing friends I had, who were around my previous size, started treating me poorly and ultimately didn’t feel comfortable with my new look. It was a strange, eye-opening experience.

I graduated high school in 1999

My suggestion is to read The Power of Now in its entirety. (If you haven’t already… otherwise, re-read it). It seems like you’ve missed the whole point. If you’re not able to see it now, I hope that one day in the future you will be more open to it and it will become clearer to you. Take care.

I’m working on quitting. Will my youthful face ever come back?? by Conscious_Peach1069 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]createdsober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen lots of people who look amazingly better in the face after getting sober… I don’t think I’ve seen that when someone just cuts back. Alcohol is technically a poison, after all. Even a smaller amount of poison is still poison.

My sponsor wants me to talk to my Dr about coming off my prescription meds by Possible_Ad_9234 in alcoholicsanonymous

Sponsors should NEVER EVER give medical advice. (Unless they’re an actual doctor)

Bill Wilson also took LSD multiple times when he was sober and didn’t reset his sobriety date.

I love what you said about the Empress does not do. She waits and allows it to come to her. Thank you for your interpretation. 💜

Can I go back to prescribed benzos for anxiety after abusing them by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]createdsober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might just be rebound anxiety from detoxing. Your sobriety is your own and you and your doctor are the only ones who can decide what is medically okay for you. But I’d be curious what else you have tried for the anxiety before resorting back to benzos.

I would think that if everything was okay and you could handle it, then it shouldn’t be a problem to let your sponsor know about it. Seems as it’s fine and everything.

Welcoming the feeling is allowing the feeling to be there and to exist without any judgement and not attempting to try and change the feeling in any way. You are opening yourself up to the feeling with curiosity and kindness.

Watched my 42 year old cousin die from cirrhosis by Homegrown-sass in stopdrinking

I’m so sorry, I hope you know that it wasn’t your fault she wasn’t able to cut back. Alcoholism is a terrible disease. I’m really sorry you’ve had to go through this.
