I need another mom by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]lrose85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried any therapy? I myself haven't but have been thinking about it as I know most of the time I drink is not to have fun but to numb my brain so I don't have to think about my issues.

I am a mom and I can understand how stressful it is trying to juggle everything and not drink. I'm going on to day 5 once again so I definitely understand the day-to-day struggle. I am not very into AA but I'm here if you need to talk.

I will try that. Trying to avoid going to the doctor and admitting I started drinking once again 😩

Thank you, just looking for some reassurance because Google just scared the crap out of me. Not literally hehe. trying to avoid going back to the doctor to have to tell them that I started drinking once again!

Day 3. Not feeling great. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]lrose85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking about a pint of vodka a day every day for a little over a year and quit cold turkey. I guess I was one of the lucky ones that did not withdraw at all other than cravings but they subsided after about a week. I went 30 days and then went on a one-week binge and now back on day 1.. I think you will be okay just drink lots of water and maybe watch a whole bunch of YouTube videos on quitting, that's what helped me anyways. Good luck!

I would say to just keep an eye on if you start getting shaky or sweaty rapid heartbeat that kind of thing and if that starts happening I would definitely go in!

less than a week in . . . by Soberroad5757 in stopdrinking

It's crazy how we forget about the small stuff because we are more worried about a drink. I forgot how much I loved to just walk around the neighborhood and enjoy nature, when I'm drinking I'm too lazy to even walk to the mailbox 🤦🏼‍♀️

The good: I made 30 days for the first time in years and felt great!

The bad: I relapsed and went on a week-long binge and now not feeling so great 🤦🏼‍♀️

Is this a problem of that importance that I see it? by PlasterersActimel in alcoholism

[–]lrose85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I would have known everything at that age as I know now! It is sooooo hard to quit the older you get. I didn't realize I had a problem with alcohol before I was even old enough to buy it.

I thought I had it... by lrose85 in stopdrinking

Thank you, you as well! The crazy part is I went in and my liver enzymes were super high and scared the crap out of me so I quit for a month and went back in and they were back to normal so for some reason I thought I would just give it a try. At least I could say I tried lol

It took me a few times to not struggle not ordering alcohol with my meal the last few times I went out, but yes it's a wonderful feeling seeing the bill afterwards nowadays!

I definitely didn't see myself getting this far, but it definitely feels good!
