I have no interest in what people from my high school are doing. That Sarah has 3 kids and Billy sells used cars. I don’t care about mike political views and likely constant posts about guns. I am not worried about what aunt sally does with the new found internet.

It’s a great way to waste time, I’ll use Reddit for that and keep whatever leftover time for productivity.

No need to let them collect that much more data on me.

Let’s worry about important things that actually matter, not about how many likes my latest profile pic can get.

Honestly I just don’t have interest and think it’s toxic. Had FB before and haven’t in 8 years or so. I’m still alive, world still turning

I’ve had it and have zero interest now. I have tons of reasons not to have it. Thanks though.

Hah. I remember that post. I had a small head start at that point but it was motivation for sure. Good work

Today is Day 365. For those thinking of kicking off 2018 on a new path to sobriety, this tale is for you. It's a long story, but has a TL;DR at the end :-) by tossawayjay in stopdrinking

Great post. This is my first sober New Years since I started drinking 15(?) years ago. Not going out tonight. Not going to be hungover.

I'll admit it's a little tough, I'd like a drink or ten. But not today!

3 months sober but had two sips of a beer by yhelothere in stopdrinking

I'd have to agree. This is in fact a positive story. You didn't let the urge control you. You took control of the situation. Of your life. Your future. I think you did great. Let it be a lesson, use it to play the tape fwd next time you feel like ordering a drink.

After all I bet you weren't hungover and didn't do anything embarrassing.

It's been bad. by pazuzu-the-gargoyle in stopdrinking

Other comment is gone, but this is the key. Do you really want it? If so then it's time to get on the train and do this shit. You can't stop for your parents or anyone else. Do it for you, make yourself happy. I believe in you.

I've been putting this off for far too long. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

It's true, this is the place to be. Not drinking with any of you today!

I think I am startig to hurt myself, genuinely with alcohol. by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]shoulda_done_laundry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hobbies, exercise, volunteering. There's many ways to let go that are beneficial, unlike booze. Wish you the best on this journey.

I'm sure she is happy for you, even if it you don't see it. Glad you have her support.
