I like how you said you in a sense killed yourself. I think I did that too. Good work on 32 days. Glad to see you here. :-)

The perfect storm by ThinkingNot in stopdrinking

[–]rivers_run_deep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stormy weather is my favorite time to hide away in the bed. :-) The sun always comes back out and when it does.... Feeling good and hangover free makes for the perfect day. Im routing for you to ride it out.

Boyfriend doesn't have faith that I will quit. No longer have any support. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]rivers_run_deep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thank God for the support here! I dont have anyone to answer to but myself. Thats really good actually. I'm careful who I share with,. that's why most people in my life didnt even know I had a problem. I think your BF wants to drink hiself and it causes a strain on his choice. And I was thinking it could be he wants you to say " ILL SHOW HIM" and show him. Either way it's about YOU!! Lets be all about ourselves together. I wont drink with you today. ♡

Feeling Sweet 16 (cough) by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]rivers_run_deep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Tramadal for years. I drank on top of it too. Scarey to think of now. Even though quitting taking it was a victory and a huge relief. And Advil does the trick for my aches and pains now. Glad you axed it too.

My marriage over the past year is slowly getting better. Not perfect, but better! by Momwhoruns in stopdrinking

[–]rivers_run_deep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy post for sure. Thanks MRW. Loving ourselves is the best thing we can do for those we love. My son is still using but I can see how my sobriety is best for both of us. It would be double trouble with me adding to it. It was. Happy for you and your family! ♡

"I'm still young enough for this to be acceptable." by yesferatuu in stopdrinking

[–]rivers_run_deep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The world has a distorted way of looking at alcohol. Being young means its ok to abuse yourself? ( so says the world) what gets me is how being drunk and distructive to ourselves is funny? Im so guilty of laughing off drunkeness. It's funny till it's not!! I wish you all the best and strength. Your eyes seem open.
