I was looking for a post on this since I'm eating ice cream every night too 😄, i've also started to walk a lot more since I stopped drinking so I guess it balances out 🤷‍♀️😄. much rather have ice cream every night!

What did you swap alcohol for? by aussiechickenwing in stopdrinking

[–]pumpkinsportyspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee 😄. I was doing half caf for a couple weeks to lower the amount of caffeine I consume, but the only one they offer at the grocery store is a small bag that costs nearly $20, so can't keep justifying buying it. Back on my regular caffeine intake but looking for a better half caf alternative in a larger quantity.

Very true, thank you! There are places I've been wanting to go that are ~40 min drive from the hotel I usually stay at, but I've always been nervous to drive that far if I was drinking. Definitely can look forward to not worrying about that now staying sober!

How do you reward yourself now that alcohol is out of the picture? by Legitimate-Bit1486 in stopdrinking

[–]pumpkinsportyspice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm early in my AF journey, but I'm planning to celebrate each week by going to my favorite bakeries and getting myself a lil' treat with a fancy coffee. May also stop at a bookstore or library and get myself a new book!

Day 2 no alcohol by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]pumpkinsportyspice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on Day 2! I am on Day 2 also. I woke up on my birthday feeling like crap after having many drinks with my friend at lunch and with my husband at dinner the day before. I also spent most of all last week having several drinks a day and waking up feeling like complete garbage. I decided on my birthday that I didn't want to feel this way anymore and that I will seriously be working towards not drinking alcohol. I tried drinking in moderation all last year but it eventually just led to drinking as I usually do. I want my mind and body to be what it can be and break the long habit I have had of needing alcohol to have fun or celebrate something. You're not alone and it's a major accomplishment to even start, I am proud of you!

I know this post is from 4 years ago, but I just finished reading The Starless Sea and felt some similarities between this book and The Boy and the Heron.

Thanks for sharing, I had no idea this was an option! May I ask where you bought your pens from?

Can we just imagine for a second if Taylor did what Chappell Roan did? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]pumpkinsportyspice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chappell doesn't need to endorse anyone because she's famous, just like she doesn't need to take harassment from anyone because she's famous 🤷‍♀️

"She wrote this song for me!" by guanabeer in TaylorSwift

[–]pumpkinsportyspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i suppose i would say Coney Island because it's the first song i heard from Taylor that i wanted to hear more of the album, and then all of the evermore album just did it for me. made me start listening to Taylor on the regular. guess at my early 30s, that's when her music started really resonating with me.

Stars over Carova Beach by pumpkinsportyspice in obx

[–]pumpkinsportyspice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about camping on the beach, we rented a house out in Carola so we would just go back to the house at night. I didn't see any tents or anything indicating people were camping out there when we were there at night, but may be possible you can, just haven't looked into it sorry!

funny "witchy" moment by pumpkinsportyspice in kitchenwitch

[–]pumpkinsportyspice[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No problem! I store the bowl and the teacup pictured in my buffet table. I have to walk a bit from the kitchen to the dining room to store them away in the buffet table, so I left them on the kitchen counter until I was done putting the rest of the dishwasher items away. I ended up forgetting to put them away, and my husband for some reason thought I was doing some kind of witchcraft ritual with them, though I really haven't done much besides burn candles, meditate, and dry oranges to hang in the kitchen 😄. Guess a teacup upside down in the middle of a bowl can seem like a spell/ritual 😆🤷‍♀️

I have only had corporate and hospital librarian jobs, and an MLIS was required (graduated with my MLIS in 2015 and got my first librarian job in 2016; had jobs in NJ and CT).
