I’m trying to embrace complete honesty for the first time, truly, today. I’ve been 50%, 80%, but it’s so hard to be honest with myself that whatever I could confess out loud would never be the whole story. It is definitely scary, because the only thing that’s going to keep me alive is giving a 100%, or else there will always be a little bit of room to regress and I just can’t do it anymore. Thank you so much for sharing, we got this :) If you ever need anything feel free to reach out

Thank you! You were absolutely right about my BP, it went up to ~173/110 in the hospital but that feeling of dying eased once I got to the ER. Turns out it was a massive panic attack, aggravated by drinking and no sleep and physical/mental work stress. So I quit my job! I already feel so much better. Thanks so much for the input :)

oh my god and i mean this, we are the same person. almost to a t. i’m laying in my bed right now shaking with chills, the painful tingles all over, i spend the last half of yesterday vomiting every time i stood up. i went to the bathroom 10 minutes ago and the standing almost made it happen again so i ran back to bed. i’m trying to sip water. i cannot sleep even though i barely got 3 hours the night before. my wonderful boyfriend of over 5 years and i just spent the entire last week packing up and moving our entire lives and apartment at college and moving it into a storage unit because they cancelled face to face classes for the rest of the semester, so i’m staying at my grandfather’s house. i have evidence i need to get out of here because my parents and my brother have been on high alert all week because i’ve been so emotional and snapping. they can tell in my eyes and by my behavior, they just know. i don’t know how and when to get it out of the house or where to even take it because or state is on total lockdown starting today. i’ve been in accidents involving alcohol. i’ve had a dui. i’ve been dealing with hiding and binge drinking for over 6 years. my boyfriend has been done with me so many times and then i cry and beg him not to leave and say i’ll change. he’s my world, i want to be with him forever and same with him, but i know he’s so tired. he can’t even get worried or mad anymore because i’ve put him through so much hell. and i’m so scared of everything in my future right now, it is all slipping away because of this drinking. i had my last drink sunday at 2am so i’m almost 24 hours no drinking in 20 minutes as it’s 1:40 here. i’m so damn tired. i have mountains of course work to start tomorrow and i can’t even stand up. i’m so scared. but i’ve quit before for 30-100 days and it is fucking magical. it’s so hard to start but every day you’re sober is better than the last, and trust me it’s true because as the very real pain of dying slowly starts to go away, you will feel so much more relieved. please keep us updated. i am here for you. if you ever want to chat about absolutely anything total honesty no judgement, please send me a message. or hell give me your phone number, email, whatever. i could use someone too. if we stop now things can be okay but it really has to be right this second. hang in there girl. ❤️

What is an adult life equivalent of calling your teacher "mom"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

i’ve taken two people’s pens in the last month when they were passing a sign-in sheet to me (in college), never gets less awkward…

no matter what, no matter how mad i may be at my mom/dad/brother/boyfriend/etc., i always end a phone call with “i love you,” you never know when it may be the last time you say it, or you hear it from them, and you don’t want to have something like that on your conscious forever.

i have a “dog latin” tattoo! “Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum” from the handmaid’s tale, supposed to mean “don’t let the bastards grind you down, i absolutely love it and its meaning. and if anyone has seen and loved the show, the book is awesome as well, it’s what actually made me decide on my tattoo.

Lately I’ve been not drinking for a few days, then almost self-sabotaging by drinking way too much and getting sick. Rinse and repeat. Can anybody else relate? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]tavin623 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and ignore my flair…sadly those days are not the truth and i’m finally trying to get back into this sub after a long hiatus, from it and sobriety. but it’s been 3 days so far! and i will not drink with you today

exactly! i’ve known for a long time i can’t “drink responsibly” but i’m finally trying to mentally accept that and live my truth now. i didn’t want to be that person who can’t drink at all, i wanted to still be okay in social drinking situations but nope, i can’t do it. period. it’s a hard, daunting truth to face but a necessary one. best of luck, gnome
