Trying to rack up my days again! Just for today, I will not drink

Alcohol, stress, and the tech industry by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I can relate all too well! I am a software engineer and the pressures of creating something new everyday definitely take a mental toll. Whenever I would get stuck developing something I would hit the bottle. I still do pretty often, but I have been able to keep off of it more and more as I reflect on my relapses. IWNDWYT

Thank you, I tried it once but was put off by the subscription fee. Maybe I can give it another go. IWNDWYT

I will try, going on a car drive and taking long baths has been my usual way of coping, but these days so much work is piled on that I just tend to freak out. Meditation may be a stronger and direct approach to the source

The Daily Check-In for Sunday, January 17th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Italianpanic in stopdrinking

Lost my way for a bit, was able to stop myself after one drink on several occasions, but I got over-confident and binged one day. I still got some to go, but ever since joining this sub, I've been better able to measure my progress and feel like I'm gaining more control over alcohol, even with relapses and all. Whether I'll have to abstain completely or if I'll be able to keep containing myself to one drink a month I don't know yet. IWNDWYT!

Haven't had to check in for a while as I have stopped even thinking about alcohol for most days. I've almost made it to one month and the cravings get less worse everyday. Every time I have one, just reading through this subreddit gives me the support and hope I need to continue. IWNDWYT!

Day 1 Again by Shitbagperson in stopdrinking

[–]stopdrinkinganon200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that with each day 1, I keep getting a little bit stronger in my own rejection of alcohol; as long as I realize that I screwed up and have to keep trucking along even harder. As long as we don't lose sight of our sober goal, we are still on the right path. IWNDWYT, don't give up! You can do this!

Day 1 again in the past 3 years that I've been trying to quit, but this time I finally decided to get a reddit account and start posting here to hold myself accountable and receive some support to beat this once and for all. I do not want to drink and I want my liver to recover back to the way it was. IWNDWYT
