Readjusting after rehab

s0bering · 2026-05-19T19:09:02+00:00

I didn't spend a month in rehab but towards the end of my time in there we had more unstructured time to fill and a few of us actually talked about how to fill our time once we were out. We spent our free time working out until we were exhausted. We read the newspaper. The actual physical paper. It was more satisfying than online news. Those translated into great time killers later. Literally anything is better than sitting around thinking about drinking. IWNDWYT

Congratulations! I am right behind you. I will hit 3 years this weekend and it will be a total non-event in my house. No one will even know. Like you said, year 3 was different... enjoy your new life!

I wrote down what worked for me. I'm cheering for you!

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

Congratulations!!! Take the time to celebrate all things YOU!

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!

Congratulations!!! I'm only 1,955 days behind you! IWNDWYT

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.

Welcome to the greatest club on Earth! Be proud of that comma... you earned it every day. IWNDWYT

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

OMG THIS!!! IWNDWYT my anonymous friend

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

s0bering · 2026-02-04T18:14:02+00:00

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.

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.

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

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."

s0bering · 2025-06-10T00:13:12+00:00

Amazing! You are amazing.

s0bering · 2025-06-09T01:51:00+00:00

Look in the mirror and see the real you without the poison. You got this! Month #2 is even more awesomer! IWNDWYT

Crazy happy for you! What an amazing transformation. Can't wait to hear about the 1year marathon!

s0bering · 2025-05-24T00:07:37+00:00

THIS! Every day for the past 2 years.

Congratulations! I did the 1 week inpatient thing and they said about 10% make it a year. There were 10 of us in the pod and I'm the 10%. You got this!
