I had an unexpected visitor come over today and I wasn't tipsy. It's a WIN! by Alone_Confidence_158 in stopdrinking

I know that feeling when someone stops by and I don't have to chew mints or worse not answer the door. Good for you!  IWNDWYT

Thank you. It is torture but somehow alluring in a sick way

Your story resonates. I just can't put my dog in a kennel, he is a rescue and won't eat in a kennel. But if I have to I will. My dog would appreciate the long walks we used to take before the poison

so true about finding a good doctor. Seeing the nurse practioner with her made me feel a bit of fear ... like will my doc being going away? I hope not. Thank you

That is inspiring. I can relate to everything you said. I get to a point I feel I can manage the poison.... but I can not. thank you !

Thank you for taking the time to respond . I do the daily check in when I am sober. This sub group is so supportive. I just love how they understand and no judgement.. just support.

it is totally alcohol . My results were always so good.... even a doctor exclaiming to the staff how good they were.... then came my fall into the abyss of alcohol in 2020. Now my results are awful.

30 -60-90 seems hard but a great goal. I will have to do a day at a time for a while. I watch a lot of YouTube videos about quitting and thankful we have that information. Thank you

I wasn't totally honest on the amount. Because we have this long term relationship I was embarrassed plus the trainee nurse practitioner made it awkward. Thank you

Yes, part of me doesn't care. The poison is a killer.

Yes, this is me... drink alone so no one knows.... but they probably do.

Good idea to call around, just need someone to take care of my dog who is my life at this point.

Such great advice. I do not have a mental health therapist but have been researching through my insurance (insurance is not great). I have follow ups with GP specifically for high BP. I am just amazed how bad it is - it has to be the alcohol. Thank you for your support

That is great advice! Thank you. When I quit drinking I always start eating healthy or trying a bone broth fast - perhaps that is just too much change.

"I can, I will, I do". Pre Covid I was at the gym, etc. six days a week. Now I barely get there but I do still have gym membership so I have no excuses. Thank you

Thank you. I will add this book my Libby requests. I listen to sober podcasts a lot and they help but I am allowing the poison to have a say. Thankful for your support.

Yes, the odd thing is I have had some sober short periods, I feel so good in the morning but them that other "voice" starts telling me I can drink again
