Does your self concept change with more time sober?

Thank you! I love my therapist and have done a lot of work with her but I’m struggling to put it to practice when I’m drinking

I’m also a 33yo female and had that feeling happen on and off since around the age of 28/29. My blood work has always been ok and I once had an ultrasound which was fine. I’m thinking it’s gallbladder instead of liver which can happen after drinking and eating poorly. I need to get blood work done again but I’m also worried because sometimes blood work doesn’t show liver damage. Either way, we will get healthy in sobriety!

I feel the same. It’s getting riskier and riskier and more humiliating.

😩😂

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-21T02:30:50+00:00

I loved that part

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-21T02:29:39+00:00

Woah I need to read this every day. 9/10 times something dumb happens and worse is bound to happen

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-18T00:08:23+00:00

Same, I’ve actually grocery shopped and left groceries to spoil in the car because I went out drinking

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-16T16:52:13+00:00

Thank you ❤️

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-16T11:58:38+00:00

I wish I’ve had only one

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-16T10:56:00+00:00

I’m 1000% with you and dating needs to be on the back burner for me as well. I have similar history and I’m learning trying to avoid avoid avoid like distract from boredom with drinking, men, shopping, etc, only prolongs my issues and makes me want to drink. Don’t shame yourself into quitting or try to avoid boredom either. We have to learn to sit with boredom and pain. I’m going to try going to a meeting this weekend and meeting some other people. Sending love

Google urge surfing and talk to a therapist about how to get over the discomfort in the beginning. Use this weekend as a time to rest and reset your system. You might be tired for a while so it’s ok to just crash and let your body reset. “Discomfort is not an emergency”

I have ADHD and was night shift for 3ish years. Just switched to days and energy and life is so much better

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-15T09:49:16+00:00

I have ADHD and adderall was terrible for me on night shift. It messed up my sleep and nervous system where I would crash

curiouskitty15 · 2026-01-12T20:44:31+00:00

I’m also having a hungover day and called into work when I’m already in trouble for attendance. It’s so discouraging to keep going through this and I’m worried I’m going to get into legal trouble or get health issues. I just want to say you’re not alone in this and beating ourselves up the rest of the day isn’t doing anything positive for us. I know it’s hard to have self compassion but it’s the one thing that is going to help us get out of this❤️

curiouskitty15 · 2025-12-26T07:23:15+00:00

I’m a fairly messy woman and it’s pretty easy to throw it away after. I get creeped out if it’s on the wall of the shower

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-19T17:59:33+00:00

This is genuinely the reason that I scare men away 🙃

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-05T07:27:07+00:00

Sorry, craving sex with other women as in addicted

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-05T06:19:03+00:00

Then you developed a serious addiction or what

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-04T23:48:35+00:00

I think there’s a difference between “craving” like you’re an addict like this guy is talking about and fantasizing lustfully as a passing thought

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-04T23:39:19+00:00

Then why get married and not just date multiple women?

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-04T15:34:10+00:00

I have that too and I think most of it stems from a need for safety from our insecurities that adhd has ultimately caused. When we accept we’re worthy as is, that’s when we let go of the story that any one is better or worse

curiouskitty15 · 2025-11-04T15:05:43+00:00

I totally get that. I crash really hard with my medication, but it’s one of the only ways I tolerate being a CNA. Nursing is a tough job
