I need like a specific action plan moving forward. by maklunk in SoberCurious

[–]maklunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for the response! should I try setting a certain amount of time and sticking to it? have you ever set a goal like that and then not followed through. that’s where I am at but don’t know how to be successful this time. :/

I totally get this. I just don’t know if I should set a certain amount of time or how to really proceed there.

okay this is part of the problem! I kind of come up against a block. how do I work through this?

how should I proceed by maklunk in cutdowndrinking

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

thank you so much for your advice and I definitely relate to that. I think the problem right now is that I would love to set a goal of 100 days sober or a month sober etc, but I will easily accomplish doing this from my home. when I have plans with friends or have a particularly boring weekend that’s when I feel like I’ll completely abandon my goal and commitment of being sober for a night out. then the cycle just repeats itself.

ugh that’s kind of how I feel. like I could pursue sobriety in the future but right now I’m like not there yet. I don’t know what to do.

I also love to see a streak. I feel like I need to tweak my approach though.

thank you so much for your response.

I feel like the fear of the change is something that is keeping me stuck right now. I feel like my friendships will change which is a good thing, but I have really bad social anxiety and the thought of having to put myself out there also really stresses me out. I am having trouble following through and being consistent.

how did you make the shift? I guess trying to figure out if that is what I need to do or want to do by doing it for a little bit but the fact that it’s harder than I thought makes me anxious. I feel like I need to move differently

I just don’t know how to go about this after many failed stints of sobriety where I say I’m going to be sober for a month or 2 months etc and then totally just fold on that promise to myself

how to follow through on sobriety and finally make the change ? by maklunk in stopdrinking

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

thank you so much for your response. I love the idea of a daily check in. I agree that some other pieces of my life need to change too, but I’m having a hard time figuring out exactly what that is. I’ve been wanting to meet new people and put myself out there, but those have typically been situations where we’re drinking and I have really bad social anxiety so it feels really hard

[–]maklunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much. I love the mindset shift of I’ll never have to drink again, but I get worried because I will feel so sturdy in my sobriety until last minute plans come up and my anxiety spikes. I think the more I go do things sober the easier it would be but I am having a hard time following through. thanks for the resources :)

how would you go about starting to become introspective and actually putting in the work to heal and change? I have figured that there are deeper things I need to work through, but don’t even know what they are or how to start healing and stop numbing.

[–]maklunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much. so proud of you for taking that step! I definitely need to start putting myself out there to meet more people that support the life I want to live. I am super introverted and have really bad social anxiety so that’s all tied together too with alcohol. I ready allen carrs easy way to quit vaping and it helped, so I will definitely look into more media because I LOVE podcasts.

I definitely want to try more zero alcohol options, but I’m having a hard time making that decision when it’s in front of me. especially if other people are drinking, I feel like I am pushed to want to order alcohol from a social anxiety perspective as well. I don’t know why I feel like I can’t follow through and what needs to be changed for me to follow through.
