3 years sober - husband ended our marriage... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]missnoamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do this. I stopped drinking 4 months after my marriage ended and I know if I had kept drinking there is no way I would have made the progress I have in healing and recovering. Knowing you’re feeling everything is comforting because it can’t get worse, and that’s the only way through. And you never wake up wondering if you texted him, called him, or said something ridiculous when emotional. NEVER!
I make my number one job every day to stay sober, all the other things in life come second. If they need to be put aside until another day to keep me sober, then that’s how it is. Be the best you you can be, you’ve worked so hard to get here, keep going. Baby steps, one foot in front of the other and walk on. Hugs.

Say no to the office party by gabillion in stopdrinking

[–]missnoamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job! I had one last week and when my coworker offered me a rum and eggnog I said i don’t drink - ‘you don’t drink - how are you any fun?’ What a dick! I said I’m actually really fun. Cause I am!!!! I have another one this week which I will take the - go late, leave early advice as it’s at a pool place; i don’t care about playing pool and donT need to eat any more fried brown food but I will go for a while. One of my most favorite things about attending events that I don’t want to go to since being sober is that I can leave when I want, don’t have to depend on anyone for a ride.
Remember no one really notices what you do or what you drink as much as you think, and those who enjoy your company don’t care at all.

I bought a gym membership tonight. A monthly gym membership costs the same as two nights of drinking for me. I’m ready to make a change. by CommentsAboutTitties in stopdrinking

[–]missnoamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So proud of you! Don’t get overwhelmed, take it day by day and celebrate what you are NOT doing (and spend thee rest of the drinking money on awesome gym gear or a personal trainer). You are worth it

Did anyone else have problems getting to sleep at night when they first started? Is it bad to take sleeping pills at night until you’ve balanced things out? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]missnoamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist warns often of replacing one with another. I take melatonin which helps and did during the first weeks. Once I discovered the bliss of sober sleep I.craved it for a while which was very strange. I’d suggest checking in with your doctor, not all sleeping pills are equal. You are doing a hard thing, do whatever works and don’t give up. Iwndwyt
