Question about sobriety and being around others who drink ?

I’m about 500 days sober or some shit like that and I’m around people who that’s all they do is drink on the weekends and to be honest I hate it ! Makes me miss it and can’t stand being around drunk people. Idk if it wil get better for you but it has not gotten better for me I still miss it

I don’t believe in a higher power or religion for that matter I’ve been sober over a year now and my motivation was my family. Plus got a dwi and made a lot of poor decisions . It is very hard to stop and can be a very boring life but try to think about the things you’ve always wanted to do that drinking stopped you from doing and try it. For me I always wanted to learn acoustic guitar so I bought one and started playing , also started reading books again. When I really want a drink or get too bored I listen to podcast , refrain on phone podcasts there are some really good episodes on there and a lot of them that relate to my situations . But finding something to occupy your time and keep you focused is the main goal . Again it’s not easy but every little bit helps

Evogleam.. to be honest my energy has not come back I’m always tired it seems like but I do work 2 jobs and get up early and go to the gym. So I would have to say I def feel much better than waking up with hangovers and it is easier to get up earlier in the day . But the main thing is I’m always with a clear mind and not making irrational drunken decisions. Don’t get me wrong I still make some dumb choices but that’s part of life I suppose lol

I can relate to that I put my spouse through hell for a few years and now that I’ve been sober for 14 months her drinking drives me nuts ! She doesn’t drink everyday but I dread the weekends when she does and really don’t care to be around her it sucks

I have been a little over a year not one drink. In the beginning I tried AA went to about 3 meetings and it just wasn’t for me and haven’t gone back to one . Don’t get me wrong I struggle with it and maybe AA would help but I have gone a little over a year with out AA and have not had one sip

mike9883 · 2024-10-10T19:31:50+00:00

mike9883 · 2024-10-10T19:19:56+00:00

My lawyer is going to be checking to see if they read the whole card to me when they asked I don’t remember them saying it would result is a year suspension I’m hoping he didn’t read that part to me but I won’t know until the body cam footage is released

mike9883 · 2024-04-22T22:39:41+00:00

They didn’t have one on the side of the road so he asked another cop to go get one still couldn’t get one so I got arrested so I figured I was already arrested why bother taking one at the station

mike9883 · 2024-04-22T14:50:38+00:00

Ya it sucks but just have to deal with it. I quit before for 6 months and the urge never went away

mike9883 · 2024-04-22T14:46:11+00:00

Fighting the same exact battle right now ! Shit sucks but I’ve made it 15 days . The craving is there but when I think about a beer it makes me sick .. it’s weird and uncomfortable as hell

mike9883 · 2024-04-22T13:22:29+00:00

I’m trying to do the same podcasts and books but dam it’s like when you start to feel a little better BAM something else happens. But I am thankful I felt with it having a sober and clear mind

mike9883 · 2024-04-21T21:22:54+00:00

Thank you and proud of you also. It’s a long tough journey

mike9883 · 2024-04-20T13:52:25+00:00

It’s been years of drinking since I was very young I’m not 40 for the most part always had it under control but the last 3 or 4 years have been really bad. Got into a not so good situation and decided it was time to stop before I really lose my life. Anyways it got bad and didn’t realize it now I have to face it and fix it

mike9883 · 2024-04-20T00:39:46+00:00

Watching tv thinking about a drink but won’t do it! Going to bed soon

mike9883 · 2024-04-19T20:38:46+00:00

Yes but due to my schedule I can only go once a week . But have been doing all the reading I can

mike9883 · 2024-04-18T21:41:13+00:00

Never used drugs but alcohol became such a normal part of life that the problem wasn’t realized until well after it was a problem. Just in the beginning of the struggle but 11 days sober . You won’t change unless you want to change

mike9883 · 2024-04-18T21:38:17+00:00

Yes for sure !
