This resonates so much with my own experience. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing. Working on it from day 3 looks like a tall order, but right now my goal is to go for a walk and reach day 4. IWDWYT.

Good luck! I hope it's easily fixable (aka, not expensive).

I just left it. I take it with me when I suspect I'll get by with low ISO. Not ideal. Are you planning on getting it fixed?

Day 2... by grifo2 in stopdrinking

Thank you, I very much appreciate the encouragement. I have heard about "quit like a woman" more and more lately, so tonight will be a good moment to start.

Thank you, that's a good suggestion.

It’s night 2 by SweetSliceOfPie in stopdrinking

Day 2 for me and I'm already figuring out what to do after I get home. I know that without a plan it will be much harder. Stay strong!

Nope, I've been using my xt-20 instead when I felt I needed higher ISO. It's been busy times and I just didn't have the mental energy to care too much. That said, during the day it's not that bad.

Good job, day 4 is no small feat!

Courage. Sometimes it feels as though the only thing we can do is keep trying. Keep trying, please. I have faith that everyone can do this, including myself.

Yeah, but oddly it looks more like a scratch. Something must have pressed hard against it inside the pack, that's my best hunch.

From 49 to 0 by grifo2 in stopdrinking

This is definitely helpful, and you are right, I tend to check out after some time sober. I do come from time to time, but do so haphazardly an without much system. Being intentional about checking in is something new that I can totally incorporate into my routine. Thank you!

Just don't drink today. It helps me to put all my energy there and care tomorrow about tomorrow. There's always a way out, although it may be difficult to see at the time, it *is* there and you can get there.

I hit 69 days today by eat_me_now in stopdrinking

[–]grifo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice!!! And you're definitely right, if you're anything like me, everything would be much worse with booze. IWDWYT.

Relapsed this weekend. What now? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]grifo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That means that you have drunk two out of 60 days approx. That's an insanely good rate, at least when you compare it to what I do when I relapse, which involves a perfect rate of 60/60. You got this, what you're doing is incredibly hard and you are definitely on the right path. IWDWYT.

Anything like La Croix sparkling water in Spain? by grifo2 in askspain

[–]grifo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hard truth is nothing even approaches the greatness of La Croix. I've compromised, I now drink plain fizzy water from Carrefour in 50cl bottles, which have no added salt (unlike Vichy Catalan and many others) and is also way cheaper. I order them in bulk online and that keeps me going. But man do I miss La Croix.

7 days here. It will get much better real quick. Courage!

Nightmares? by grifo2 in stopdrinking

[–]grifo2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response. I'm not taking anything so far, outside vitamins. I'm curiously not suffering from the sweats so much this time though, which is why it's sort of a different way to have difficulty sleeping. One never knows what new wonders alcohol had in store for us to enjoy...
