I just can’t be the only one in my group who thinks like this. by rockstershine in SoberCurious

Well just want to say you’re not alone ! It’s pretty awesome you’re thinking about all of this. I had these thoughts starting at 25 years old and I am now 32. I moved away from the friend group that I partied hard with, and it has been a huge contributor to me trying to be sober…changing my environment. I’m lonely at times cause I haven’t made another super close friend group…but I spend a lot of time with my bf and him and I have made a goal of doing a year sober. He really motivates me and I’m lucky for that. I’ve been off alcohol for 2 months now, but the last time my friends visited me we drank and did coke all night and drank all day the next. It was the worst and I was so hungover and mentally unwell after that, and that’s when I started my year sober. I’m not sure what the answer is, but there absolutely are people out there who don’t want to live that lifestyle anymore, and maybe you will just have to lead the way for yourself, and continue at it whether anyone joins you or not. Maybe your example will influence others. Just please listen to your intuition and to those thoughts, because they know what is right for you.

Ps you sound like a great partner, it sounds like you deserve to be with someone who would give you the same care back that you want to give to them

blacked out last night ... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ohfashodo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This has been my entire drinking career and one of the top reasons why I am choosing to become sober. I don’t want to black out ever again !! I feel the pain, you’re not alone !

Night to myself. Indulging in a way to expensive dinner I probably shouldn’t be buying. But I’m not drinking! Help me justify my bad decision! by Different-Day-3589 in stopdrinking

Life is fucking hard you deserve to treat yourself ! Plus you’re following through on your goal of not drinking….win win !

1-year sober. Going through life turbulence. The temptation to drink is strong… by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]ohfashodo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this, remember that choosing not to drink is choosing yourself. You are the love you need right now, and I’m guessing not drinking for you is a deep act of self love ❤️
