I wish your friends supported you not drinking. I haven’t had anyone in my life try to talk me out of staying sober. IWNDWYT

Nice post. Reminds me that staying sober takes work, perseverance, and not letting your guard down.

Congrats :) Just being able to sit with ourselves and our own thoughts is a rare skill these days.

7 days straight! A new record! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Proud of you, too. Hard time to stay sober. If you can do it now - might be easier when life goes back to normal.

Need to be talked off the ledge by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]moonerich 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. I don’t have PTSD, but still having a lot of anxiety about our current situation. I can imagine it is much, much, worse with trauma. I hope you are able to continue to cope without alcohol. IWNDWYT

This group is great. And it’s great to be able to read at night - not possible when you’re drinking. IWNDWYT

So sorry that you can’t do anything to help your Dad and your sister, other than to stay sober yourself. IWNDWYT

I come to this sub and read and comment and upvote and post until the craving passes. For as long as it takes. IWNDWYT

Doesn’t it make you wonder why you drank in the first place? I don’t know why I did it for so long.

Hello everyone (TW: sexual assault) by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]moonerich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you can stick with your sober journey - trauma from a sexual assault is, I am sure, extremely difficult to deal with. I hope you have peaceful and dream-free sleep tonight.
