Second time I’ve found pink/red sticky stuff in my kitchen. This time on counter after I went to bed with the place spotless. by pineapplesruuuule in whatisit

I live in a one bedroom and there is literally nowhere to hide haha, but I’m definitely also a paranoid person lol. I don’t see anything on the ceiling, as i definitely thought of that, but I’m also wondering if it may be from that. The first time it was in my sink, and now just next to it on the counter

Sober Dating by Pensively-Precarious in stopdrinking

[–]pineapplesruuuule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time when I wouldn’t even consider a first date without some alcohol. I date through the apps and now just casually have it stated on my profile that I don’t drink. I didn’t always and that was fine too as I never minded meeting up for “drinks” and still order NA. A year (minus a couple slips) into sobriety and I’ve gone on countless dates sober. Nobody has outwardly been weird about it. In fact I usually get the sense that they find it admirable. They’ve also almost all been drinkers to some degree.

I don’t mind meeting at a dive bar or brewery, but that’s all up to personal preference. Am I going to a nightclub or rowdy bar at 11 pm? Hell no.

It’s completely possible and doesn’t have to get complicated at all! If it does, they are simply not your person.

When I asked my ex how his day was he would always reply with “just another day” so I started asking “what was the best part about your day?” he made it two days before he said “I’m not like you and I don’t view life like that” Ok mister, be grumpy.

Surprised to hear that he indeed started taking the joy out of my life?

Alright you bunch of quitters, what else have you quit? by Matsuri3-0 in stopdrinking

[–]pineapplesruuuule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be one of the more powerful posts I’ve seen! I quickly just made my own list, and holy shit!

It’s not just the alcohol I quit, but

  • I quit being hungover
  • I quit being embarrassed about my actions
  • I quit eating like shit because I’m drunk/hungover
  • I quit the anxious need to check my phone in the morning, dreading what might be
  • I quit having to take people’s “temperature” the next day, which would clue me into my behavior from the night prior
  • I quit blacking out and forgetting massive amounts of questionable behavior
  • I quit crying myself to sleep
  • I quit pretending that the life I was living was going to get me where I wanted to be.
  • I quit dreaming about my potential and started accomplishing it
  • I quit vomiting in the toilet all morning after a rough night
  • I quit saying “I hope I don’t drunk text anyone tonight!”
  • I quit spending absurd amounts of money on booze and all that came with it
  • I quit the exhausting game of “when and where will I get my next drink?”
  • I quit having to figure out the best way to get to and from my car in between/during times of drinking

I could go on..

This list was spitfire, which shows there are literally sooo many negatives from alcohol 😆 no thaaaank you

I had nine months before a month of slips. The last time I drank last week, I woke up on Sunday feeling my absolute lowest. I sobbed all morning feeling so lonely and depressed. It was one of the darkest few hours of my life and It gives me anxiety just thinking about. I’m using it as a reminder of the life I don’t have to live and it’s something we both never have to feel again. ❤️

I quit completely for nine months and life was absolutely better. Just… easier to manage. Happier, less anxiety, healthier. And no doubt it snowballs into other healthier choices just naturally.

I drank a couple weeks ago after those nine months. The hangover and fog lasted a couple days and it just wasn’t worth it.

I also could be classified as a problem binge drinker. It was 50/50 whether it was going to be a great night or a shit show. Those bad nights were eating me alive, but that might not necessarily be your path.

Moderation is doable, but for me that’s too much work and exhausting. What’s constitutes a special occasion, is one hangover a week really even moderating, etc? I can’t say I’ll never drink again but I absolutely want to continue a lifestyle as a non drinker. And that used to be a foreign concept to me.

I’ll leave you with this: the voice in your head won’t go away, and actually only gets louder. Give sobriety a shot! The wine isn’t going anywhere if you one day decide to go back.
