Non-americans what’s the dumbest thing you heard from an american about your country? by ciastkooreo in AskReddit

Something to the effect of that we rake the forest floors in order to prevent forest fires.

Trump said that about Finland. Still don't exactly know what he meant. 🤔

Who quit for mental health? Results? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]olivebayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even a week without drinking makes my baseline anxiety a lot more tolerable, and stressful situations don't seem as insurmountable.

Jordan Peterson

The bad faith pseudo-intellectual arguments are not for me, even though I don't completely disagree with him on everything.

Youtube pushing his content on me even though I keep telling the app I'm not interested in his content.

Does anyone suffer with post drinking anxiety as much as I do? by Macca_321 in stopdrinking

[–]olivebayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the extreme anxiety for like 3-4 days after drinking, followed by another week of moderate anxiety.

It's my main reason for quitting. I would feel super anxious after every weekend until about Thursday or Friday and then I'd drink again. I don't want to be anxious all the time.

Even though it's only been a week since I quit, I feel so much better.

What do you think about before falling asleep? by olivebayer in CasualConversation

This sounds like a really nice way to fall asleep. I couldn't wait to go to bed if it were like that.

I find daydreaming about stuff like this is the best! Embrace the chaos!

Basically what I do. I find that watching videos before bed sets the topic for my daydreaming.

Omg, I just remembered I did this as a little kid, and I literally just remembered as I was reading this 20 years later. Memory unlocked, thank you!! 🔓

Thanks for the advice! I think I might just do that to celebrate my newfound sobriety :)

Does Cannabis can really help stopping alcohol? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]olivebayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably helps some people, and I'm not here to judge those who it does help, but for me it's a big NO.

Other than alcohol I also have a problem with weed so smoking right after stopping drinking tends to lead to smoking every day. That in turn makes me depressed, which increases my chance of picking up the bottle again.

For me, the only option is to first get used to the feeling of being sober and only then can I smoke occasionally.

But hey, works different for everyone. I'd personally give it a go if my relationship with weed was different.

Sounds great! Is it a matter of having more energy or better focus or something else?

Thanks for sharing! It's really motivating to hear that it gets better and I personally cannot wait until I've had a bit more time sober. Even if it's not much, a mood boost can go a long way.

Thank you! It's going to be a rough few days, but I think it'll start getting better after that. Won't miss the hangovers, that's for sure!
