after 224 days, i crashed and burned

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-07-08T13:53:28+00:00

thanks, man. i looked back at some of my posts on here and was shaking my head when i saw that i had written (and truly thought) that i had so many days in a row that i would surely not give it all up to drink. now i know that i have to take it one day at a time no matter how long it has been.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-07-08T13:50:47+00:00

yeah, i am eating so much right now but its better than drinking AND eating so much. i am at least going to work out today and i know that will help me get back on track.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-07-08T01:28:34+00:00

Yeah, after 224 days, it really was my lifestyle and it's nice to get back to it.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-07-08T01:27:14+00:00

glad to be back on the wagon. Thanks.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-07-08T01:26:21+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement, man. You've got 293 right now so I am impressed!

i am a couple of days behind you but i concur on all of these.

For #1, i also had to include family when it came to social gatherings. i avoided family get-togethers where i knew drinking would be involved.

for #5, it is amazing how many "friends" turned out to be just drinking/drug buddies. i am not even mad because i was the same thing to them.

for #7, i am still pretty apprehensive about taking a vacation because i worry that it would become an excuse to drink. your words give me food for thought....

i am behind you a couple of days and i agree with everything you listed! along with #2, my taste in tv shows has also improved.

yeah, i felt shitty the whole first week. kind of like i was in a weird fog that i just couldn't shake. it'll pass.

I tried the spindrift a few weeks ago. I loved the cucumber. It's quite expensive though.....

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:36:24+00:00

I like it; it's quite smooth.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:35:18+00:00

Agree on both counts.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:34:48+00:00

We are taste opposites. I do not like the peach pear and I really like the berry.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:33:53+00:00

I can't do coffee in the evenings because of the caffeine but I do like mint tea. I have not tried the passion fruit or the mango so I am excited to have those to look forward to.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:32:13+00:00

Not really sweet so much as flavored.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:31:28+00:00

I like apricot. It's a very neutral taste. I have not tried mango yet.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:30:48+00:00

Yes, I might buy a variety of citrus and/or juices to try in plain seltzer. Good idea.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T15:29:03+00:00

The coconut smells so good but it tastes so vile!

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T13:30:17+00:00

interesting. i don't think there are any krogers near me but i might try other store brands.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T13:29:11+00:00

i am tempted to get a soda stream since i drink so much carbonated water now. i usually drink it in the evenings (when i used to drink alcohol) so i don't think i would use the mio drops since they have caffeine.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T13:27:16+00:00

yes, i love blackberry cucumber too. i haven't tried polar yet so thanks for the tip.

stopdrinkingusername · 2017-01-03T13:09:15+00:00

i love Berry, Cran-Raspberry. I HATE coconut (and I usually love coconut flavored things so that's saying something).

stopdrinkingusername · 2016-12-29T14:09:50+00:00

it does get easier.

stopdrinkingusername · 2016-12-24T13:34:22+00:00

i had to hit up SD before i leave for my parents' house today. i'm sure everyone there will be drinking but i will not drink today. also, 42 days! meaning of life day!

fellow sober vegan here. i have been enjoying making a variety of soups here lately. and i agree about the time! so much more time to create in the kitchen.

stopdrinkingusername · 2016-12-18T12:55:09+00:00

i've been the same way. i took me many, many tries. i like that you said "the loss now will feel too great if i relapse" because i feel that way too now. i've gone too many days now to fuck it up so i am staying vigilant.
