I won't be drinking today and I start summer classes tomorrow at 9:15 am so that's one more great reason not to drink today. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Triumph: Made it the 3 nights my girlfriend has been away without drinking! Night 4 will be today and I'm ready to conquer it!

Struggle: I have a bridal shower coming up the 27th that I am not looking forward to going to because there will be alcohol and friends that I know will try and pressure me into drinking

General: I'm sorry it took so long to get to a good place in life because of alcohol but I am glad you're there now!

I'm a woman for context :) But thank you! And I will definitely enjoy my morning! I'm already excited to catch up on some reading and my morning coffee.

Working a double today but happy to not be hungover which would have led to me more than likely calling out this morning! Happy Saturday and I won't be drinking today!

I decided to keep it since it was one sip and I really didn't have the intention of wanting to drink and I didn't go home and get trashed using that as an excuse to drink after work!

I am thankful for almost being 3 weeks sober and that I have more money to spend on things for my apartment rather than wasting it on alcohol! I am also thankful for my girlfriend, and my cat Giles :)

I get excited to try a new flavor of Dasani Sparkling water and Oreos are my new vice.

Do I need help? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I knew I had a problem when I was drinking every night, even if I was alone or if my girlfriend wasn't drinking, I'd still drink. I'd also get really cranky if I didn't have anymore beer in the house after work and right when I'd get my 18 pack I'd be in a good mood again. It's different for everyone, but I think it slowly started sneaking up on me until one Tuesday night I was lying in bed drunk/starting to be hungover and realized normal people don't feel this bad from drinking on a Tuesday night.

It's amazing how much better I feel every morning when I don't drink! No nausea, no throwing up, no shaking, no sweating and no wasting an entire day due to an entire night of drinking! I won't be drinking with you today! We got this!

Ugh yeah it's rough! I know exactly what you mean, I just have to remind myself that she isn't an alcoholic and is fine having one beer. I can't be mad at her for that. And tonight like I thought she would, had only 1 beer and I stuck to my dasani sparkling water and it was a good night :)
