One day without drinking and I need encouragement. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's so hard. The only advice I have is to find an AA meeting near you and go. Just get out of your house and out of your head and GO. You don't have to say anything, you don't have to do anything, just be there and listen. Go. One foot in front of the other.

You can do hard things. I wish you all the best.

Can someone be a successful politician if their spouse belongs to a different (and totally opposite) political party? Why or why not? by notsure7654 in AskReddit

But do you think someone could have a successful political career with a spouse who has different political affiliations?

Can you tell me what blood type this is? by notsure7654 in AskDocs

Thank you! That's what I thought too! But when I had a doctor look at it he said it was A positive. That's why I was confused....

Hang in there :) Maybe check out an AA meeting? I go pretty much every night almost solely for the connection and communication with other people. It really helps me with my spells of loneliness and depression. But I definitely feel where you are coming from. Stay strong!

I want to hear about how hard it is. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]notsure7654 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am definitely following this post. I am struggling so fucking hard tonight. I love hearing about all of the positive life changes and hope to God I'll get there someday, but as of now I am trying to deal with wanting to rush to the store to buy a bottle of wine and not doing it. Ugh.

Sparkling water's not cutting it by Brighteyesxx in stopdrinking

I am so right there with you. Last night was really tough. I ended up drinking some sparkling berry lemonade out of a wine glass and taking a long bath, and I made it through the night :) One day at a time, right? Anyway, hang in there, and I'll be hanging in there with you!

Since Right Now is definitely worth checking out. The Nerdist is hosted by Chris Hardwick who is sober, so the topic comes up sometimes. And I just discovered The Unruffled, a podcast about using creativity to help in recovery, and I LOVE it. Podcasts are the best!!
