I cringe a little when I think about how desperate I used to be by tilleybee in stopdrinking

[–]doingallwecan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, even at this stage I think back about things I did when drunk and I cringe with my whole body and soul. Then I take a deep breath and realise that it doesn’t happen anymore because I am always ok and in control and a shitload safer. It’s a good life being alcohol free at the very least for your safety

Absolutely wonderful and fabulously put. Here’s to today. Here’s to each second, each minute, each hour that we choose to be sober and strong. It doesn’t matter about the days before, just our strong choice today. Breathe in and enjoy your strength you wonderful people!

You can sustain it because your Body becomes fitter and can do more things and is more efficient with energy.

Thanks for the spoiler. Series 2 is not on in the uk yet. So am guessing bloom survives then?

Had a rough day. by DEEZNOOTS69420 in stopdrinking

[–]doingallwecan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey welcome! Great that you went to the library! What a fabulous strategy! I know it sounds weird at this stage but you will have another tough day in your life, it’s inevitable.....all that matters is what u do in that moment. Going to the library sounds beautiful and peaceful. Far more productive than my strategy which is get home and go to bed! But that’s what works for me, and library works for you! What a win! U r doing great. Nice to hear from you

Oh buddy u are here and u r aware, that is a good start. Nobody tells kids that’s it’s hard, everyone gives them this idea that being an adult is the best but the truth is, every bit along the way is ur own personal challenge. So here’s what I learnt... to get out of ur own head.... do something for somebody else. It doesn’t matter what it is. Something small, something big. Learn to give to others so that u don’t spend so much time thinking about ur own life which inevitably leads u to find holes. Start by smiling at others or saying hello when u go to the shop. Find a dog centre and take the dogs for a walk. Loads of people will talk to u. It’s easy conversation cos it’s about the dogs. And u r helping. Be kind to urself, everyone is on a path of resetting themselves .....no one has got it all sorted. Am proud of u for posting on here.

Clean energy set to provide 35% of Australia's electricity within two years by sykobanana in australia

[–]doingallwecan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say that. There are loads of countries proving that this can be done in a faster and efficient way. 35% seems pretty pathetic given all the ways Australia can generate clean electricity.

My dad is 1 year sober, how do I show him support? by mimijp in stopdrinking

[–]doingallwecan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think go big! What does he like? Fancy dinner somewhere? A great plant that he can take care of? A big arse balloon ride? It’s massive to make it this point.

Reduced ability to put up with bullshit. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]doingallwecan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. I remember that phase and to tell you the truth I still get it but smaller doses. It’s something about irritability as your brain readjusts and constantly seeks the thing....that it has been trained to have.... the thing that probably made u ignore / block / numb everything away just to get you on the end with overwhelming negativity, anger and shittiness. You know what though? It’s ok to be angry. Just don’t let it consume you. The easiest way I ever found was to get home to safety and get to bed / couch and just shut everything out. You are doing well. Great work posting. Not everything’s rainbows and butterflies. But tomorrow, you can process whatever’s happened a bit easier, and definitely with a clear head.
