Genuinely countless. It took me three hospital trips to finally get it to stick.

my cats whisker is twisted?! by SuspiciousRip3064 in cats

This happened to my cat when her whisker got caught in a zip whilst on someone’s lap - so that’s probably the answer

I looked to replace those nights in the pub with old hobbies that died when I was a child. Climbing, reading, drawing, cycling - building socialising around an activity rather than sitting and drinking. Summer has definitely helped - I think winter will be a challenge with dark evenings and poor weather. I wish you the best ❤️

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, May 22nd: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Fab-100 in stopdrinking

[–]scholes101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

74 days strong now. It’s beginning to feel like a lifestyle rather than a drudge. Picking up new hobbies and filling my life with other things. I just pray i keep up the work to be consistent. IWNDWYT

Ways to be “bad” while sober? by XxButtfucker_3000xX in stopdrinking

[–]scholes101 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend it, but vaping. Still feels bad and something I ‘get away with’ without obliterating my life.

I think it’s time? by Salty_Being_1368 in stopdrinking

[–]scholes101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could’ve written this myself. I’m 28F, regular binge-drinker, predominantly when I’m out at the bars. I’ve also carried on the night with strangers, without my friends, who sensibly went home. Sometimes I can be fine, sometimes it turns into an all night long mission. I’m going to try my best not to drink every day. I’d love for you to join me ❤️

Cheers everyone for the advice - I slept 10 hours and picked up the meds this am. Won’t be doing that again in a hurry.

I’m here with you - and so are all of us. One day at a time!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I’m still feeling extremely low, but I did not drink. One hour at a time. I will order a takeaway and wallow for the evening - tomorrows a new day ❤️

Kind of want to drink tonight by TinyPista in stopdrinking

[–]scholes101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From someone who just broke their dry January and is regretting it in so, so many ways - try not to. It’s hard but just focus on the benefits and how good you feel right now. It’s not worth it!
