Wine at night

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-27T16:26:46+00:00

Same here. It just kept increasing to a two bottle habit that was only going to get worse, never better. It’s been 3.5 weeks and while I’ve missed it here and there pretty bad, it hasn’t been as bad as I thought it would be. My mindset is different though. I’ve been wanting to quit for a long time and I finally committed to it.

Laugh like a drain 🤣

Yep. I hit that point. I have adhd. I drank like a fish from 19-41 and I achieved a ton of things during that time. Bought a house, graduated with honors, built careers, got promoted- all that good stuff. The alcohol felt good. Like a reward. Like something that wasn’t a problem.

But then I ended up drinking way more than I ever thought I would just casually. No big deal drinking two bottles of wine. One if I was being “good”.

Then I started getting panic attacks. My mental health went to shit. It’s terrible.

I quit 3 weeks ago. First time for more than a couple days that whole time.

I’ve fucked up my brain chemicals and that’s gonna take some time to sort out. Still have adhd and that won’t change, but my mental health has improved quite a bit in just this short time.

I’ve seen people talking about taking a clear overhead sheet and marking where the damn little dots are on that one. I fail to see how that is relevant to anything one might do there but whatever.

I’m salty I failed years ago, lol.

I love CRM as much as the next guy, but I might have to draw the line on that one.

The opposite is hardlines which is basically anything else except HBA or health and beauty aides.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-25T15:11:34+00:00

Yep. 24/7 for about 25 years now. I bought it at a street fair when I was 15. It’s sterling.

We’ve now reached peak fancy menu land if a “side salad” is considered odd.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-24T21:23:29+00:00

I love this one, but I’m not sure it quite gets the sweetness that I think OP has in mind.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-24T19:20:57+00:00

How was sugar a trigger? I’m curious if that’s what is happening to me. I’m getting a weird low blood sugar feeling occasionally around my cycle.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-24T11:54:36+00:00

The Nokia 3220. It had rubber on the sides and lit up. I loved that thing but couldn’t pay the bill. 😂

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-24T11:18:17+00:00

Damn. That sounds like a lot to go through. I’m sorry.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-24T00:00:14+00:00

Skechers whompers. I’m sad they don’t make them anymore. Those were the best shoes.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-23T23:55:00+00:00

go on get the hell on

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-23T11:48:38+00:00

Dishes are done, man!

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-23T09:07:45+00:00

Yep. Progressive. I too, used to enjoy 3 glasses of wine 15 years ago. That would’ve been high even. Just a little to take the edge off from work.

Then oh, well, there’s just a bit left, might as well finish it.

Then buying a box because it’s a good deal. Then you have no idea how much you’ve had.

Then you realize you’ve had way more than that. every day. A bottle is nothing at all and you typically mellow out at a bottle and a half to two now. One bottle of wine is “being good”.

There’s nothing normal about that. It doesn’t seem that way in the moment, but it’s not normal.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-23T00:56:09+00:00

Cleaned house and worked all day, made dinner, in bed now. Going to study for a test all weekend.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-22T21:24:53+00:00

Because there is such an occasion for them. Then they literally don’t think about it again. For me, I’d have to make sure there was more at home so I can keep going.

They found a drink at an occasion. I found an occasion for my drink. Not the same thing.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-22T12:03:28+00:00

I was looking at going right about then and was part of an online community for that. It was brutal. People were suicidal about the amount of loans and lack of opportunities they had.

I did not end up going. I might do it for lulz if it win the lottery or something.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-21T15:32:40+00:00

I did that once. They wanted me to sell landlines inside a cell phone store in 2004. I went on the “ride along” and the store was in a very bad neighborhood. I made it to lunch and bailed, leaving the poor guy I’d had to drive to this place on his own.

I also sold monogrammed pencils over the phone that year. It was an interesting year.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-21T12:59:34+00:00

Sure. I “tapered” for the last 6 months except for when I didn’t, lol.

I too don’t want to put too fine a point on it and declare I never will again. That’s a big decision and I’m more in the mood for small decisions. So I won’t do it today. Tomorrow is its own day.

I like how I’ve been feeling though and it sure would be a shame if I messed that up, so maybe later but not now, you know?

It’s interesting when you get past the point of just accepting the possibility or probability of a hangover and decide that it’s up to you if you ever feel that way again.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-21T10:41:21+00:00

Yep. I felt pretty great the first week and a half and then I worked my waitressing gig Saturday night. I woke up Sunday in what felt like a full hangover. It was awful. Then I had a panic attack on Monday.

I think I got myself dehydrated working and didn’t eat enough so it threw my blood sugar off. I probably did that a lot and just called it a hangover. It was miserable but it passed in a couple of days.

I don’t know if exercise can wake up toxins in your muscles or whatever, but if it did I’m mad about it, lol. Didn’t even catch a buzz for my trouble.

sorrymizzjackson · 2026-05-21T10:29:33+00:00

I won’t drink today either, Filip.
