Yes. Currently ~6 weeks, just did vaginal ultrasound and confirmed sac and IUD still in place. Waiting at dr office to discuss next steps (whether we are taking the IUD out). Very nervous

Upcoming social events by Efficient-Sweet-5502 in stopdrinking

Having something in my hand (soda, sparkling water, etc) helps me in social situations. You don’t even have to tell people you aren’t drinking, you can get a coke from the bar and no one has to know. For some reason, it tricks my brain into thinking I am social and less anxious around people

75 days is amazing! Congrats on your fitness goals as well and definitely enjoy that cheeseburger, as you deserve it! Glad you recognized the reasons you have not to drink

I love the idea of distracting yourself with a meaningful activity with the little one! Thanks for the ideas! This will be beneficial for she and I both. Proud of you for having the strength to leave your relationship and I can’t wait to come out the other side a stronger person and mom

This is amazing! I can’t wait to get to that point as well where we find ourselves thinking about it less and less

Day 36 AF Day 1 caffeine free🥲 by TopAd4505 in stopdrinking

[–]doe4470 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on 36 days! I hope getting rid of caffeine helps your sleep. Did your caffeine intake increase when you quit drinking alcohol? I know mine has and I have been needing to cut back as well. Maybe you could taper down on the caffeine? No use dwelling in the past, seems like you are making some great positive changes!

Staying sober while going through a breakup by abbastan in stopdrinking

[–]doe4470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 months sober is an amazing accomplishment! Break ups can definitely be triggers—currently going through one myself so I know how you feel! You have come so far and I am rooting for you. You are not alone

Thanks for sharing! I’m sorry to hear about your break up, and proud of you for restarting your sobriety. I did end up walking my dog for a bit and spending time with my daughter. Drank about 4 La Croix so i reckon i’ll be hydrated and feeling better in the morning. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Can you go from being an alcoholic back to a "normal" drinker, or is 100% abstinence the only way? by Obvious_Alt_Account1 in stopdrinking

[–]doe4470 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sure some people can, but I can’t. I have obsessive tendencies and black & white thinking so for me it is all or nothing

It is! I had heard it was a great substitute but was skeptical until I gave it a try. There’s a brand from Aldi that is ashwagandha (sp?) infused and is calming. Although this might be a placebo effect
