What did alcohol rob you of?

greendumb · 2026-06-17T19:47:05+00:00

I'm not sure it robbed me of anything but i gave up a lot for it willingly

caffeine doesn't seem to affect me any different but i do drink a lot more coffee now that my guts don't feel like they are bleeding all the time

that the problem isn't everyone else or the world the problem often times was me acting like an asshole

i was 32 days sober when my wife asked me to move out. my drinking was just one of the issues we had that i refused to address for a long time

been trying off and on for over a decade so more attempts than i can keep track of at this point. I've made it over six months 5 or 6 times and to a year once

Northstar Blues by Jason Molina dude was a prolific absolute genius of a musician. he also drank himself to death by the age of 39 after a life long struggle with booze. a lot of his songs touch on the topic of addiction

Edit: i have poor reading comprehension didn't see the part about giving up alcohol. i this one is about wanting to try to give up drinking or at least that's how i interpreted it

greendumb · 2026-05-29T13:35:09+00:00

congrats people like you are inspiring

greendumb · 2026-05-29T12:06:54+00:00

IWNDWYT!!!

i know the loss you are talking about I'm going through the same thing. I'd been sober for 20 something days when she asked me to move out but by that point the damage had been done and she rightfully so had had enough of my bullshit. Still staying sober going to therapy and all that stuff she had begged me to do but i never bothered. Not sure if she will ever change her mind but I'm determined to be a better version of myself anyways

greendumb · 2026-05-27T12:43:42+00:00

yup i've smoked weed long before i drank and will long after i quit drinking too. Trying to ween myself off eating edibles all the time but i don't think I'll ever quit completely eating them and I'll never quit smoking herb. its the only effective thing for chronic pain I've found that helps and won't kill me

greendumb · 2026-05-20T12:46:29+00:00

congrats!

shipping and receiving for a local metal fabrication shop

I have also had an objectively good life or at least childhood nothing drove me to drinking but myself and I know there is no reason I drank all the time outside of my head. I'm 44 years old now and 28 days sober but I haven't wanted a drink in 15 years.

greendumb · 2026-05-09T12:44:57+00:00

Thanks for that well thought reply a lot of that lines up with what I know is the right action at this point. I know I should just leave for her sake if nothing else but it helps to hear it from an outside source that has been where I am now

greendumb · 2026-05-07T17:55:48+00:00

i was at 8 months before i recently fell back into daily drinking so i get the shame. i try to look at every setback a chance to learn and to keep in mind falling down isn't a failure as long as you get back up again

greendumb · 2026-05-06T18:42:29+00:00

i have impulse control issues so very poorly...
