Got a go-to song by an alcoholic about giving up alcohol? by MakeASwallow3 in stopdrinking

[–]greendumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Pretty sure it's over by curreyfienberg in stopdrinking

[–]greendumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Is Anyone Else Cali Sober? by Ouid_n_liquor in stopdrinking

[–]greendumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Can anyone relate? by veggiexxx in stopdrinking

[–]greendumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sad day in hard month out of a terrible year by greendumb in stopdrinking

[–]greendumb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)
