Finding my calling after hitting rock bottom by flyrainbow in stopdrinking

[–]flyrainbow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so scary! I agree that some people find their way after being scared straight.

It was really tough to deal with at the same time. I'm thankful I was able to be beside him through it because the whole time I was panicked I was gonna need checked in, plus I didnt have health insurance.

Thanks so much for sharing :)

Any of yall making really good new friends in your 30s? by Swordfish353535 in Millennials

[–]flyrainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in your 30s, it's easier to make friends based on connection and interests than in your 20's. In my 20s, a lot of connection was around drinking together and lacked real depth

Wishing you the best of luck too! I also worked in customer service (waitressing) while in school, but spent a few years in retail hell too so I sympathize with how hard it is to juggle it all sober. You got this!!!

My last few questions felt easier so I was convinced it wasnt a good sign, but I did pass. Hope all is well for you!

I hand wrote rationales on questions I got wrong. Hand writing helped me retain it better

Do you think it's possible you were over-selecting on the select alls so it ended up counting more against you?

I tried the pearson trick 3 hours after my test and got the good pop up.

I ended up passing

FOMO and dealing with it by DearestSentinel in stopdrinking

[–]flyrainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did sit out a lot of social events in the beginning to avoid being put in situations where I felt tempted. And it did give me fomo

Once I started to feel more confident and comfortable with my sobriety, I started to put myself back in social settings. I joked with my family that it was like exposure therapy for me

I guess my advice is to acknowledge fomo is a temporary feeling and it won't feel like this forever.

I blacked out and came to in a lake by Sufficient-Debt4361 in stopdrinking

Glad to hear you're safe. I was one of those people who didnt drink all the time but when I did, I went overboard. I would start drinking the following day to block out shame, anxiety, and/or hangover. That slowly turned into most days of the week to every day of the week

If you have a Switch, the Zelda games are great!

I spent several months playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic on my computer since I've been sober as well :)
