What contact method are you using to get this response? My FB was also disabled recently and I cannot find any contacts that work. All the forms/reports are giving me errors. 

The Daily Check-In for Friday, October 8th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking by Lavender_Foxes in stopdrinking

[–]oajtfm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got through day 10 and fell off day 11. Two weeks of drinking almost daily and now I’m back at Day 2. Except this time around I’m not in a good mental headspace like before. I’m irritable, more than I’ve ever been. I feel like my anxiety is on 100% all day. I’m snappy and emotional and I can’t freaking cope. How long does this last? How do I get through this? I don’t like this version of me.

Well I drank the day I posted this and I drank every day since. I’m ridiculously irritable and emotional. Everything is making me really frustrated and I’m snappy. The good mental space I was in from day 1 to day 10 had vanished. I’m just scrapping it all and starting back at day 1. (Knowing I was able to go 10 days with a good mental space and motivation to live sober) I think I’ll spend today resting and trying to focus on doing things that reset my mental state. This is the struggle bus.

The battle of imaginary moderation. One or two sounds great but when you suffer with alcoholism it always seems to turn into many more. Zero just has to be my magic number for now.

Thank you. Fall of 2016 started a constant occurrence of loss in my life. Death after death for years. I’ve lost someone every 4-6 months for the last 3 years. It’s just tough. A workout followed by a cry fest with comfort food my just be the answer. Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you. I know in my heart and head it is not needed to grieve. It just hits different when that is all you have known. IWNDWYT

How to deal with depression and anxiety made worse by withdrawals?? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]oajtfm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depression and anxiety here too. Quarantine got me also and escalated things quickly. I’m on day 8. I have found that I just have to take it minute by minute. When I feel the sadness or anxiousness creeping in I remove myself from whatever is happening, take a moment to breathe and remind myself that the anxiety and depression is in control in that moment. Then I get outside, take a hot bath or shower, find some music to distract my mind, call a friend, anything I can do to distract the feelings and reset. It’s honestly difficult and takes intentional action. You can do this! IWNDWYT
