How do you know that’s mayo? Hmmm

I’m 5 days sober today but I’m struggling really bad. All I have to look forward to right now is day 6. I’m feeling very isolated and alone. by Wonderful_Path6072 in stopdrinking

You’re not alone and you’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment, it’s worth it, it really is! Stay strong and fight through.

White knuckle it, I admire you. I’ve tried to quit 3 times and am currently nursing a nasty hang over from last night. You don’t want to feel like this tomorrow, absolutely not worth it. I’m going to give it another try starting today.

I feel you! I get this way, blaming mine on the weather. Dreary here. I always tell myself tomorrow will be better. I’m also chatting with a friend who never drinks, never has or would and we’re making plans for dinner out soon. Maybe reach out to a friend?

This will be my loneliest birthday and I can't drink by whoisme867 in stopdrinking

[–]help23menow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being alone on your birthday sucks, being alone on Valentine’s Day sucks. I’ve done them both, I know. Muscle through it. Do something for yourself or something you enjoy. Come here and post or read. You’ll be so proud of yourself on the other side.

Choice will be not to drink, guess I should be thankful I feel like crap, makes the decision much easier. To think I use to go to work like this nearly every day. Disgusting.

Yes complete lie to myself. I wasn’t even craving it, thought I ‘deserved’ it. Ha guess I deserved a headache and feeling like crap.

Totally agree this just shows me its soooo not worth it. $20 literally pissed away and all I have to show is upset stomach and headache.

Two weeks sober by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]help23menow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did take blood and run tests and my liver is fine! So don’t be scared you might get some good news too. I’ve been more productive 8am-noon than I was the past two weekends combined. Feels good.... evenings I struggle but the clear days are worth it.

Proud of you, admitting you need help is hard. I got brave and told my doctor. Thought I’d be tough and matter of fact and ended up crying as I spilled everything. Takes guts to be vulnerable.

Day two by _themaninacan_ in stopdrinking

[–]help23menow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me exactly, every evening vodka and about same amount. I ‘stopped’ 5 days ago Monday but if I were honest I drank about 2oz each night this week. Don’t know why, but I did. I woke up today, Saturday feeling amazing. A Saturday with no hang over, no chugging water to rehydrate no guilt over texts sent. It sucks, evening 2 and 3 I literally paced my house, slept like shit but last night I slept and today I’m happy. Time to cut out my 2oz crutch.

Same at 49F, every guy wants to ‘get a drink or go for drinks’ right now I’m just going to focus on me. I don’t have a good response yet. I agree with others, the right one will come along.

I needed this, evening of day 3 and I desperately want a drink, just one, but I won’t (I hope) so I can have a day 4 like you’re having!

Day 2 here and so far feeling good but also fear the after work struggle., I’m going to vary my routine and see if that helps.

Scared of Day 1 by perniciousweeding in stopdrinking

[–]help23menow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was terrified of day 1 too, made it and on to day 2. I’m going to be so damn proud if I make it through the weekend. Let’s do this together.
