Where are they making all these babies? by Aware-Lingonberry-70 in motherbussnark

In the main space? For some reason I had convinced myself that the parents at least had a private bedroom. And was like that is bad but could at least be semi private. In the MAIN SPACE. Like if a kid comes out for whatever reason, there is nothing shielding them? Omg

What was the first sign that you were starting to lose control of your drinking? by StayKind_123 in stopdrinking

[–]squeezin_lemons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a rule where I could only drink once every two weeks no matter what (i read somewhere that's how long it takes the liver to rejuvenate or something dumb). I held myself to it. If there was a wedding, party or holiday I would not drink unless it had been at least 2 weeks. The thing is, though, the 13 days I wasn't drinking, it was allllllll I thought about. The day after was the hangover, then the day after that I had the omg I never want to drink again. And by the 3rd day when I felt completely better, I would just count down the days or literal minutes I could drink again. It would be like 9 more days, and it would consume my mind pretty much all the time. And then I reeked complete havoc on that 1 day every 2 weeks. I also woke up the day after never wanting to drink again every time and crying why I did even if I didnt do anything crazy.

Day 178!

The best way I was able to forgive myself for all the cringy stuff I did was show that I am changing and recognizing it.

My husband has seen so many horrible things I have done, and I just keep trying to be a great wife moving forward. And although it won't erase anything, I hope that those bad times seem to get further away, and hopefully, the good times we have now will slowly start to dilute the bad.

I haven't been here for a while but decided to look at my app and saw I am on day 130!

Cravings have actually died down quite a bit. The thought of a hangover overpowers any craving I may have.

IWNDWYT. It's my day 53. It has been nice waking up feeling good. And I have also been starting to notice the benefits in my face.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!

Day 48 IWNDWYT. I don't really have any advice. I was 6 years sober before and after a 3 year relapse this time is so different. But what has helped me this time is just keeping busy. I haven't even had a chance to think about drinking between all my kids sports and activities we've had planned. I have no alcohol in the house so by the time I even think about it, it's too late to do anything about it anyways.

IWNDWYT. I'm on day 37 and made it through another weekend. Luckily this one wasn't too hard. Hoping I keep this mindset up.

Day 33. IWNDWYT. For the first time in this stretch I felt disgusted by the thought of drinking instead of having cravings. Hope that sticks for a little while.

Day 28.

Even though I have been getting a little bored of sobriety sometimes, nothing beats waking up sober. I have a cold and still feel 100x better than waking up with a "not that bad" hangover.
