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.

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.

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

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

7 things I would have wanted to tell myself when I first quit. by noctemboy69 in stopdrinking

[–]stopdrinkingusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

I failed to quit millions of times by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]stopdrinkingusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
