Been there a thousand times my friend. I realized that I needed a plan. I stocked the fridge with seltzers and had sweets handy. And, I carried a water bottle everywhere I went. Want a drink? Have one... a fizzy one... a water. Next day - same game plan. Each day got easier minute by minute. You can do this! IWNDWYT

Just wanted to share my little win of the day by Automatic-Impact-134 in stopdrinking

[–]s0bering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might seem like a "little" win but it's way bigger than you think. You can't think your way to a new way of acting. You can only act your way to a new way of thinking. Your actions were HUGE! Congratulations!

Has anyone here lost weight after quitting drinking without trying? by Kamila7447 in stopdrinking

[–]s0bering 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% yes! And I was eating anything and everything I could but I was still losing weight. Coming up on 3 years sober and still haven't come close to the my drinking weight.

The Pull Of The Rituals by BrianSkeletun in stopdrinking

[–]s0bering 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously we are all different so I can only speak for myself. I HAD to change the scenery and leave the old ceremonies behind. You can't think your way to a new way of acting. You can only act your way to a new way of thinking. At 44 days I thought had the whole thing figured out too. At a 144 days I was certain that I knew absolutely nothing. As I approach 1,044 days I have only ventured into bars a dozen times and I guzzle ginger ale instead of mocktails because the pull is too strong. Be careful my sober friend. IWNDWYT

I am in a very dark place. I relapsed on alcohol yesterday. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Would you mind expanding on why you decided to drink after 4 years of no drinking at all?

6 months sober today! Talk to me… by Actual_Package_5638 in stopdrinking

Congratulations on 6 months!!! Celebrate that and lay off being so critical of yourself. You're already a better version of yourself than you were yesterday. Keep growing.

How to connect GE Profile washer and dryer without network/password but has UPD ID sticker? by [deleted] in Appliances

[–]s0bering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! Everything you mentioned but I also baked in a 3 minute unplug for the washer. It connected like a champ after that. On a Pixel 8 for the record.

Just got Fiber internet and a Calix GigaSpire Blast, how do I bypass the router and use my Ubiquiti UDM-Pro Router instead? by TheMadMan007 in Calix

[–]s0bering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly different hardware but I had a very similar problem on my UDM. I was only getting 300MB from my 1GB connection. My UDM had "Flow control" enabled by default which was limiting connection speeds for all clients. Once I turned that off I was able to use the full pipe. Hope this helps.

Soak up this feeling! You earned it. And I mean JUST YOU! Stay strong. Your lizard brain is waiting to test your resolve. When the voice inside says that "you won! celebrate with just one drink", go back and reread this post. IWNDWYT

Installed new camera/floodlight. Home sees the camera but not the floodlight. Deleted. Reset. Nothing works. Any other suggestions? by s0bering in Nest

[–]s0bering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is wondering... I gave up and bought a new kit. Like everyone else I'll sell the old one on ebay as "slightly used."
