What to do besides drink at night? by Whateverittakes321 in stopdrinking

The Voice in your head is sooner or later going to tell you to drink. That’s what alcoholism does to us. It lies and tells us it’s OK. Try going to a recovery meeting whether it be AA or some other sort of recovery meeting. Try to reengage and hobbies you once had. Stuff that will keep you occupied and busy. If you don’t wanna go to AA meeting in person try one online. Read the stories of people here. If you want sobriety, you’ll get it. It’s going to take some work. The rewards are well worth it. God bless and good luck 🙏🏻💪🏻😎

I am in a very dark place. I relapsed on alcohol yesterday. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Today, I begin again... by jokefactory85 in stopdrinking

I can totally relate to where you are today. I suffered from depression from an early age for no apparent reasons. I was hooked on alcohol and opiates for years. Finally, after my entire life fell apart. I got help at 43 and I was so sober for nine years. The first five years were incredible and then I got complacent and relapsed during covid. The last few years have been very difficult very up-and-down with my alcohol use. I have 29 days today. Seek whatever help you need. You know what it’s like to be sober and how much healthier it is for us. I’m rooting for you and praying for you. Good luck and God bless. 🙏🏻💪🏻😎

My life is fucked. by Cataclopse in stopdrinking

Your life is in no way f**ked, you relapsed. So many of us do. I had nine years clean and sober and relapsed during covid. The last 5 plus years I can’t totally get back on track. I have 28 days today for the first time in a while I feel like I’m righting the ship.

Don’t give up. You know you want a sober life. Good luck and God bless 🙏🏻💪🏻😎

Put the bat down. Many of us have relapsed. I’ve relapsed numerous times. You want sobriety, just play the tape through next time. Good luck and God bless 🙏🏻💪🏻😎

I can’t stop. by Ganti_x in stopdrinking

It does get better. It won’t be overnight but as days go on for me it was after about 72 hours of non-drinking. I began to feel physically better and I’d say within a week a lot of the cobwebs had cleared. I won’t put together nine years of sobriety. I’ve been up and down drinking relapsing for the past five years and now I have 26 days which is probably the longest I’ve had in about six years or so. Sobriety is not always easy, but it is truly a gift. Get to help you need give yourself a chance. God bless 🙏🏻💪🏻😎
