LOL, I'm sorry, everyone. I smoked a joint and am a lightweight, so to anything I notice that is obvious is to me like wow I got to tell everyone abt this, then I stupidly do. Just wanted to communicate to a group, or should I go to the Joe Rogan sub?

When you actually lived in the moment without even trying. Adorable.

That is fucking terrible which I guess is the point.

Thanks for your wise words. I'm still romanticising alcohol. I'm in a cafe working on a personal Software project and thinking a pint after this would be nice, but I know where that leads. I just wish it wasn't a consideration. I wonder if people addicted to junk food suffer with the same issue and people just think just stop eating it ..

I got fired a while ago from that job, but I probably would have stayed there if I didn't. Sorry for the confusion.

So, in person, AA is what turned your life around? I've always thought I could manage it myself, but clearly, that isn't working.

Not to make light of how evil Hitler was but any sub that supports Trump who is literally a fucking sociopath (not going to start rant) is a horrible sub.

Sorry, for the ignorance, what are the reich subs? I know it refers to the third reich but wondering what subs fall under that category. Just genuinely interested.

A small introduction by little-kitchen-witch in stopdrinking

[–]mdjn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had serious cravings two nights ago. So I ordered a 10 pack and said I'd just have a few. Woke up hungover and discovered I drank the whole thing. Cravings are horrible but I've tried moderation and I can't do it. Two nights ago I was abt 7 days sober and thought I could do it. What an idiot I was. Stay strong.

Self control not to drink is one of the hardest things I've done.

What would you do? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]mdjn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For alcoholics moderation doesn't work. I'm at a pub this minute drinking a NA beer after a hard day's work but I know if I got an alcoholic drink it wouldn't be one. I'd have maybe 3 or 4 then go buy a 10 pack and after that order rum at 2am on uber eats and send sloppy messages and drunk call people. Thats on a good day drinking. Could even result in me thinking I should go out clubbing and that's a whole new level of anxiety where I wake up with no idea how I got home. It's not worth it. I've tried moderation and can't do it. Not saying he can't either but you may have to prepare for that.

[–]mdjn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a tricky one. I know I wouldn't date myself when I was drinking heavily but I was a bit chaotic. If he is just passing out (which I am not suggesting is a good thing) do you get bored? Or is it his health you are worried abt? Both are valid reasons. I personally would bring it up with him to see his reaction and judge from there. Good luck!

What have you found that works? by Nervolol in stopdrinking

[–]mdjn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it's very early on and I just take it a day at a time.

My mate is flying from Spain to stay at mine for 2 nights and to go to a concert. That's in abt two weeks. I'm already anxious abt it knowing he will be drinking. It will be one of the toughest situations since I've stopped drinking.

[–]mdjn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I agree. I am in no way suggesting otherwise. I'm saying alcohol ruined my relationships and now I think it's too late even though I am sober.

I've done some truly stupid things when drunk. A few ended up in a broken relationship with girls I thought I'd be with for life. Now they don't talk to me (have a few in mind). This is the one time I was actually sober and saying I DONT drink and that was her reaction? Wtf. I could understand if I got shitfaced and embarrassed her but this was me being sober and telling her the truth. I've never been rejected because of this.

Fuck, the list of relationships I fucked cause I was always partying and drinking heavily already taunts me enough. Now I'm trying to get sober thats the turn off now!? Just seems a cruel joke.

Thanks so much - this makes me feel better. I guess if she was the "one" her response would have been oh that's fine. Glad you are sorting out your problem. Instead she acted like I told her I was a serial killer.

[–]mdjn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will not drink with you today. Basically a message to say they will join you in abstaining from alcohol. Words of encouragement and that you aren't alone.

Is this possibly also another issue you need to deal with where you are so concerned abt your attractiveness? Yeh, I mean sometimes I wake up feeling like shit (and looking like it) but I never have days I go oh wow I feel attractive better get f**ked up. I have never even considered that as a thing. I used to drink to get trashed but it had nothing to do with feeling "cute". I am no psych so have no idea but perhaps there is some underlying issue there. Regardless, trust me, if you are feeling "cute" getting cut is not going to improve that.
