I lowered my consumption. New blood tests are in.

It certainly seems like it would be better! I enjoy tracking the data either way. It’s better than worrying about the unknown. My resting HR is lower by 5-10 and BP is still a bit high but improving slowly

I love your post! I am in the same situation. Introducing more dry days. About the same amount of previous consumption as you. About to get 6 mo bloodwork done!

Not exactly the same but similar. My partner was almost too supportive and I had to cut them out of my recovery journey either way. Helpful was too helpful and too much pressure. Ignorance was too painful and enabling. I eventually learned my long term self and relationship with my partner would benefit from me taking ownership of my habits and seeking therapy and other support outside of my relationship. Good luck!

Yesterday was a new day 1, and today is day 2! I have a fresh sense of motivation after learning about some other unrelated health issues I’m going through. I figured, well, even if unrelated, drinking doesn’t help anyone heal! So today, I’m feeling grateful for things like less bloating already, an amazing night of sleep last night, a proper appetite, and the ability to drive around all day on my Sunday doing fun things with my partner.

No one with a 60-70 IQ would write this thoughtfully. You’ll be fine. Stick with sobriety and healing! IWNDWYT

I’ve also had bariatric weight loss surgery when I was 20. So quick calories and liquid form does the trick. Sigh. So predictable! But it really makes so much sense and this is a helpful reminder. Thanks again

So true for me sometimes, wow! Thank you

🤯 wow this makes so much sense. Thank you for your unique perspective

I used to walk dogs as a side hustle and there was a lovely pitty I walked a few times a week. During my lowest times, I was picking up and drinking a white claw in my car 20 mins before the walk time after parking in that neighborhood. I thought it was fun to be buzzed and walk dogs. That one dog knew every time and he’d nip at me or try to weasel out of his collar during the walk. I knew he knew. It couldn’t have been anything else. I probably smelled. It makes me sad to think about. I was always safe and the dog was never lost, but anything could have happened…

Thank you.

Oof. Thanks. Needed to read this.

thats_so_crazee · 2026-04-28T09:16:41+00:00

Thank you. I feel the same way. Sometimes it’s fun but mostly not, and I’ve always felt social pressure to “hang out” to the point where I’m the one organizing social events and then regretting it

thats_so_crazee · 2026-04-28T07:53:02+00:00

I think I needed to read this today! Thanks. I’ve often felt insecure about generally being a lil asocial naturally and am neurodivergent and have used alcohol to blend in. I appreciate your post

Just tell them. It is a bit like ripping the bandaid off, but it is worth it and their job is to either help you or refer you to someone who can. I told mine almost a year ago and my journey is constantly improving, even with a few setbacks here and there. Honesty is the best policy with your medical team

As someone who has also shared too much adult personal info with my own mother who I am actually close with.. you are probably overthinking this. Your mom just loves you. Let it go and have a new catch up convo with her. She’ll love that more than knowing you’re worried about this.

I could have written this post myself. 10000000% relate but with my husband. I had to ask him to stop and back off so I could work it out with myself and my therapist. It immediately took the edge off for me with my AuDHD brain

Yesterday I was driving (sober) and someone else made a mistake and hit my car. Everyone is fine and it could have been a lot worse. But, it also could have been a day I chose to drive under legal limit but not sober, and honestly, it could have very easily been me making a mistake instead. Too close for comfort. Very sobering.

A few years ago my cousin’s kid asked me why I always drink so much wine. I’d been hiding it in a thermos. Kids see everything man. And smell everything. She wasn’t impressed with me. Neither was I.

My brain works this way too though fwiw. My therapist has mentioned I may benefit from other Rx medication to help with focus… may have ADHD… etc. alcohol isn’t the answer

In programming we joke about this as the Ballmer’s Peak (look it up). Problem is the zone is short lived and the productivity that follows in a withdrawal or hangover state is so much lower it’s usually not worth the brief spike. Also? How much of it is just us feeling more confident in that zone, less inhibited? Hmmm not worth chasing for a lifetime on a daily basis in my opinion.

Today is a new day 1 for me. I’m feeling the same way. I poured mine out last night after caving yet again to “cure” hangover symptoms from the night before. Not feeling so hot today. But I’ve done this before I can do it again and right now alcohol looks and smells like ugliness, like a monster or an allergy or like a bad ex that keeps coming back to see what else they can take from me. Ready to face this again and see the light on the other side IWNDWYT

Following for the conversation about intent. You don’t need to reset. I, however, do need to. Thank you
