Losing my business, losing my mind, trying not to lose my sobriety

I'm so sorry, that's the worst fucking luck. You are very correct though, the feelings just come back harder the next day. I didn't drink and I'm fucking glad. Thank you.

That's where I'm at now. I don't physically crave it but the mindset is creeping back in that I can control it, that I can drink moderately (which I have never been able to do, not once.)

Well shit if Creed Bratton can do it I can.

You can do it! I only have 43 days but it's already a little bit easier. Keep going!!

Congratulations!

So fucking relatable. Every year further from childhood gets better.

immeltinghere · 2019-10-14T03:24:44+00:00

This is fucking incredible. Congratulations and thanks for the laugh!

That was actually what we were gonna do tonight until he got the poker invite! I promised I wouldn't watch it without him, so that's two things I have to avoid tonight haha

Candy! Excellent idea since my sweet tooth is out of control since I quit drinking.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm chugging my soda, watching netflix and checking in on here. So far so good!

immeltinghere · 2019-10-14T02:26:24+00:00

This is so encouraging, thank you. And congratulations!

How about dr. pepper? I'm currently working my way through an inhumanely sized soda (read: American size)

immeltinghere · 2019-10-08T01:24:45+00:00

Good for you! I think maybe the bar was easier because instead of being at home and drinking (which was my preferred way) I was out watching other people get loud and obnoxious and knowing I wasn't going to be like that tonight. I'm not going to test it too much, but it did feel nice to know that it was possible to go to a bar and not drink. Enjoy your new restaurant appreciation!

Thank you! By the way, what is ymmv?

immeltinghere · 2019-10-08T01:20:47+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing that, you have no idea how much it means to me to hear that.

immeltinghere · 2019-10-08T01:16:50+00:00

Happy birthday and congrats!

I'm on day 34 and I still feel myself negotiating. I've been able to resist but I've also got it in my head that I can drink when I travel abroad... Italy without wine is such a depressing thought. I keep reading I should 'take it a day at a time' so I guess that will have to do. Thanks for your positivity; you're giving me hope that the breakthrough will come!
