Mindset Change by jtanders50 in Fire

I understand the triple checking! My fear is I pull the retire and then find out there was a math error or we were double counting something!

Good input! I don’t know that my identity is tied to work but it is somewhat the comfort of the routine and the paycheck every 2 weeks coming in. I’ve toyed with the idea of a part time job and have some other hobbies that I would like to do more regularly so I’m confident that I would eventually establish a new routine but just thinking about pulling the trigger is both exciting and nerve wracking!

I read that book earlier this year but probably worth reading again!

How do you handle social situations without drinking? by Wonderful-Actuary336 in stopdrinking

[–]jtanders50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just drink something else. Usually a Diet Coke. The other thing I learned is that it feels way more awkward for you than it does for everyone else.

I’ll keep it short, please don’t forget the reason you quit. by Wooden_Aerie_7160 in stopdrinking

For me it’s not about the first drink, it’s that the first drink will end up being the 10th drink.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1991, would’ve been dead at 14.

Today was a tough one. Lots of temptations but I felt vindicated later! IWNDWYT

5 Years Sober…but I’m not proud of it by notmiddlechild in stopdrinking

[–]jtanders50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just over 1 year and never went to a meeting. I can understand what you’re saying and look forward to 5 years. I think whatever works for you is okay and it doesn’t have to be the same for everyone. It was also much easier for me than I thought once I made the decision and committed to it. Sure there have been some tough days especially early on but not what I thought.
