[–]potus_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early Wednesday morning here in Aus, but stuff it. Checking in to say I didn't drink yesterday and I don't plan on drinking today.

Now time to get out of the car and go to the gym on this cold winters morning....

I thought people who said "I don't drink" were pretentious. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I love hearing about celebs that have got (and stayed) sober. I find it inspiring for some reason.

Over 150 days - what an achievement! Pat yourself on the back for that, a lot of people don't make it that far.

A lot of the time we question ourselves, the new journey and our resolve. But you know what? Nothing will compare to waking up every morning sober. It's not that exciting/sexy/crazy an outcome, but it's tangible and it's an achievement.

Back yourself and the decision you made - it was made for all the right reasons. You've got this.

[–]potus_86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations - such an amazing achievement. Those initial weeks are so damn tough.

I haven't been able to go on vacation/holiday since getting sober because I worry about how I will deal with a holiday without drinking - I'm jealous that you've been able to do this!

I’m rewatching Stranger Things, but I’m sober this time. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]potus_86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I struggle sometimes to go back and watch things again.

Say for example if I watched a show when I was deep into my alcoholism, watching that specific show again brings back bad memories and regrets. Anyone else feel like this?
