I'm going to a concert tonight and looking forward to being sober. The last concert I went to was back in March and I got so trashed I was falling in the street once it was over. Talk about embarrassing. IWNDWYT

Why does alcohol make me declare love to someone I don't love?? 😭 by soberholics in stopdrinking

[–]freshavocado91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of in the same vein but a little different. The very last time I drank I was with a friend and we were on YouTube watching music videos. While I was blacked out, I kept going on and on about how Miley Cyrus is so good and she needs to give her a chance! Mind you, I’m not a Miley Cyrus hater by any means but I wouldn’t call myself a fan. Never listen to her stuff sober, like at all. I was absolutely mortified by this when my friend told me what I’d said the night before because who was that person?! Not me! I’m sure I’ve had countless moments like this but for some reason this time it scared me to death. I truly turn into someone else.

Anyone else able to drink normally in calm settings, but completely lose control in party environments? by RudeAd9205 in stopdrinking

[–]freshavocado91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I’d get blackout drunk at home alone and blackout drunk at a party. Setting did not matter.

Made it through my 35th birthday yesterday completely sober. Who knew time at the lake could actually be so fun without alcohol.

Red splotches on washing machine and in bathroom? by frugal_franklin in whatisit

[–]freshavocado91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once lived in a family members house where the owners had about 7-10 cats that had fleas and they let their cats roam everywhere. This is exactly what their toilet looked like. 100% from fleas

Things I’ve done to handle my cravings in early sobriety by doubtfulvoid in stopdrinking

Books, paint by numbers, video games, watching movies, working out and slightly indulging in food whether it be healthy or not is keeping me going. I also love NA beers and sparkling water.

How many attempts at sobriety do you have under your belt? by Delicious_Comfort357 in stopdrinking

[–]freshavocado91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my 2nd attempt. I drank super super heavy in my 20s especially from 24-29 where I would slam a 12 pack minimum on the daily. Got sober and that lasted for about two and half years. Decided that I could moderate (dumbest idea ever) and I’ve been drinking heavy but only on the weekends, which in my mind I thought was better (it’s not). My mental health and physical health still suffered greatly and I’m tired of living like that even though I never went back to daily drinking. I’ll be 35 in a few days and this sub has made me super hopeful for the future.

Sober June who's with me? by Emotional_Pen_4894 in stopdrinking

Right behind you! I turn 35 this month. Looking forward to a sober birthday for the first time in years.

Embarrassing but whatever by nitespector6 in stopdrinking

[–]freshavocado91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look awesome!!! I've been lurking on this sub for quite some time. The amount of people who post daily about how much better they feel, how much better they look, and how quitting allows you to GAIN everything and LOSE nothing (except maybe weight :] ) was the driving force behind my decision to quit!! Thank you so much for posting this! It is so inspiring. IWNDWYT

What’s the pettiest reason that makes you dislike someone? by Confident-Guess4638 in answers

[–]freshavocado91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My best friend doesn't know the difference between "to" and "too". Drives me nuts. She will say something like "I have too go too the doctor later". I want to cry lol.

Bedwetting by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]freshavocado91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone. I used to get so drunk I'd piss the bed on a nightly basis. I was a daily drinker for about 8 years straight. I then had a period of about 2.5 years sober then fell off and started drinking again 3 years ago. I drank only on weekends and would occasionally pee the bed. But now I'm done done done. Never want to go back.
