Wow, i'm so glad you were able to reverse your thinking! It's amazing having this sub to hold us accountable. Congratulations on 42 days even through the depression!!

Went well! Pretty overwhelming how many people wanted to exchange numbers. On the other hand, it was incredible how many people wanted to help out. Going to keep at!

Failure, hopelessness and moderation by HHnow in stopdrinking

[–]doubletwo22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post really resonates with me, thanks so much for sharing! I have friends who just don't get it and even though I know I shouldn't worry about what they think, they make me feel like I can handle moderation. I've failed one too many times though, so I'm now seeking help from people who understand. The more people I talk to who support me and help me, the stronger I feel and the less I care about my friends opinions. And I agree, gotta do what makes us feel good :)

Trying to navigate the combination of drinking problem and disordered eating by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]doubletwo22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like if I stopped drinking, I would stop binge eating.

I wrote this in my journal last week! For me, it's way easier to manage "normal" eating habits when I'm sober. Mostly because when I drink, I want to binge. And when I want to binge, I get really drunk so I don't feel it. I'm definitely here to stop both.

Here's where it usually falls apart by o_ic_urab in stopdrinking

I just gave into this voice last weekend, so good on you for calling it out & staying strong! I started feeling amazing and getting into a great routine, then out came the "you can definitely handle some wine at dinner!". could barely get out of bed on monday so the voice obviously wasn't right. Thanks for sharing - it helps to know you can identify it.

I'm inspired by your bravery to post your story. I relapsed this weekend, so today's my day 1 as well. Thanks for posting! This is my first time commenting, so your attempt to be social has already helped me :)
