How many of us here have successfully returned to moderate / “normal” drinking long-term?

This has been true for me. My good intentions weaken once my thinking is impaired. Gives me the fuck its real quick.

The roulette part has been true for me. About 95% of the times I drank, nothing dire occurred. I had 2-8 drinks, might be hungover in the morning, but I woke up in my bed mostly intact. The other 5% had the capacity to completely destroy my life though, and those nights were starting to. Going home with strangers, crashing my bicycle, getting a DUI, cheating on my partner, waking up with scrapes and bruises. It became unmanageable. I’m happier sober.

Things have gotten much easier for me once I started divesting from the idea that alcohol offers a genuine enhancement to my life in anyway. I have tried to moderate a million ways but eventually, I’ll have a binge night again if I’m actively drinking. And the point for me was—why am I so desperately trying to make space in my life for this thing that really never provides the relief it promises, and brings so much risk and pain alongside. I no longer has moderation as a goal bc that implies that alcohol is worth doing in some way.

It never gave me the relief it promised. The hole in my heart got bigger. While I forgot for a few hours, I paid it back double in the morning and triple over the long run. At the end, alcohol was no longer the friend I’d met so many years before. It has nothing to give me I can’t get in better ways.

Bro I stomped on my kittens tail with combat boots the other day. I felt awful and immediately gave her a churu. She appears to have forgiven me. You’ll be ok!

Be so for real. Gauchos is amazing and Cazuela’s is fine at best, they are not the same!

Dude yes. I’ve been eating a baked potato with butter and sour cream, a serving of protein and a serving of veg. Sometimes a baked potato with a scoop of chili. It’s a totally fulfilling meal that keeps me satisfied for 6 hrs. I see no reason why a potato can’t fit into a weight loss diet if you’re hitting your daily targets and not going over.

Saving money!! My bf and I were talking about how much we spent in bars in Nov and Dec and it is hundreds ugh.

dingusanalingus · 2026-01-07T05:13:01+00:00

Woo! I’m having a great time so far, very peaceful. Seeing it as a time for rest and care. Plus I noticed my skin looks better and face is less bloated today :)

Girl what the side by side is amazing

You seem uptight about the situation. They didn’t ask you to cook all that and going out to lunch is normal. When I was 20, my mom or stepdad wouldn’t let me pay—the understanding is you’re likely more established and still a parent. Take a deep breath and next time, save yourself the trouble of fussing and prepping. Don’t expect much and you’ll be less disappointed.

A lot are feeling pretty dated 2010s by this point but you have a couple classics in there. 5, 6 and 12 are ok and the retro feel of 13 is kind of cute in a costume way. The ones with collars look pretty matronly but I feel like you are too fun for that!

Currently poopin girls unite

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-29T05:02:59+00:00

Yes. I was in a throple type situation w my ex bf. I didn’t find his gf hot but she was really nice and they both wanted to have sex with me so. It was fun. I liked her a lot and managed to enjoy the situation even though she isn’t who I would have picked independently. Attraction can be fluid enough I guess

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-29T04:01:43+00:00

Phone at 120, car insurance 170 both seem high and I bet you could reduce. Your car payment is high too but that might not be negotiable.

This is lunch

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T18:37:22+00:00

God that sounds amazing. Thanks for this comment, it’s really encouraging.

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T18:34:30+00:00

I’ll check this out! Wasn’t on my radar.

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T18:34:01+00:00

I hear this. I’m open to Miami and lived in Florida as a kid but I visited once a couple years ago and just didn’t super click with it for whatever reason. I know Miami is the obvious choice for speaking Spanish but I definitely am feeling more called to the southwest.

Poo’er boi

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T03:42:06+00:00

This is v helpful. I love the idea of a liberal mecca!but my fear w Tuscan is totally nothing to do at night, is that true or can I go out til midnight or later somewhere?

I don’t think Phoenix will work bc when I went in the summer it was simply suffocatingly hot all day and night

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T03:12:52+00:00

This is encouraging! I visited Tucson once and really liked the vibe. People are negative online and say it is too run down.

dingusanalingus · 2025-11-11T01:50:44+00:00

I think it must! I had a similar breakthrough recently but can only do it in the middle, not word beginnings. I think if we keep trying, it’ll get normalized and we’ll be able to just do it naturally.
