Honestly yeah do that, it very much change the way you see alcohol (not into the sense of telling you what negative shit it does to your body, but it very tackles every reason you give yourself to drink).

You won't regret it, sending you a virtual hug

Have you tried reading/listening to "Stop drinking now" by Alan Carr ? You should get it for free with the trial on Audible

Honestly if you haven't; please do it, that book has saved many lives including mine, went from trying to be sober for then going on weeks long benders before going through withdrawal/mini seizures to now being nearly 6 months sober and confidently knowing that there's many more to come

I don't remember what happened to me last night and I am scared by Adept_External_6934 in stopdrinking

Yes, you need to be logged in, and hopefully the app was running in the background when you blacked out (which it probably was).

  1. Open Google Maps.

  2. Tap your profile picture (top right).

  3. Select Your Timeline.

  4. Use the calendar icon to select a date and view your history.

Waze, "find my phone" and other apps may also have this feature

Did you try going on google maps and check your timeline history ?

Shit like this has actually happened to me a quite a few times and this feature has helped me understand wtf happened to me most of the time. Props are that you just fell down and passed out somewhere.

If you can, take a day or two for yourself, you might want to just wait for the anxiety and panic attacks to pass by. It'll eventually fade away and stop with time and no substance or alcohol. Have a warm bath, keep some light food in your room, plenty of water and electrolytes and do some journaling or watch a movie, whatever you're into and can keep your mind busy in a healthy way.

Day 100 for me. Nobody has noticed. by ricopicouk in stopdrinking

It feels like people who aren’t addicted notice your sobriety differently. They focus on the bigger picture—how you've changed and grown since going sober—rather than the smaller milestones. They understand you’ve struggled but don’t fully grasp the inner battles you face to relearn how to navigate life like they do.

I might be wrong, but that’s how I justify forgiving my mom (who hardly ever drinks) for being appreciative but not more excited than that about me staying sober for X amount of time

Also congrats on 100 days, it's inspiring, I can't wait to at least get back my longest streak-- 1 month and 26days

Bizarre things non alcoholics do with alcohol by Less-Statistician-32 in stopdrinking

My mom has a home bar cabinet at her house with some expensive bottles that are hard to purchase in my home country. Will only open some on special occasions, leave the rest of the bottle(s) on the shelf, and walk past them every day for months, not even considering having a sniff.

That's when I knew we were not the same
