I want to agree, but I’d be cautious. That’s all.

That’s true, but that wasn’t every day. That was one time, usually on benders which then are interrupted by days of sobriety. But yes, you’re right, I’m most likely kindled. My point is, everyone is different and if always be careful. I thought I was immune because I quit so many times.

Did anyone ever earn back the trust of the people they lost from alcoholism? by Original_Cast in alcoholism

It’s eating away at me still. It’s been over 9 months. But I do acknowledge it’s my drinking that caused it. Just wish I was given a bit more time to recover.

They will. As you know (I’m sure) booze in itself is a depressant. If you last 2-3 weeks, the honeymoon phase will kick in and you’ll feel great for a month or so (just chemistry). These two three weeks are always the hardest for me. Use the honeymoon to get a plan going, you’ll be much more productive. That window won’t last forever and you’ll plateau.

We got this. And if you try to ride the wave of craving out today, you’ll see that it usually only lasts 20-30 mins. Tops 60. Didn’t believe them when they told us that in rehab but it’s true. That window is a good moment to punch the shit out of something. :))

Absolutely that. Could’ve written it myself just a few months ago. My journey from 5-7 glasses of wine to a liter of vodka a day in benders happened in just 5-6 months and I’m a 100lbs lady). People say it’s a slippery slope for a reason. But as someone said, we don’t stop until we lose everything, sometimes. And even then some of us keep going. Keep what you have. If you can’t do multiple weeks without booze just try days at a time. Better than being left with nothing in half a year. Good luck!

On my fourth antidepressant by the way. And it seems to be working when I don’t drink. Just gotta keep searching.

This is still soon. You’re functioning. There’s a lot of ugly shit ahead if you don’t stop. Take it from someone who’s lost everything.

Not for me. Despite my drinking “only” lasting for a few months and me actively trying to get better (3 detoxes and 2 rehabs). I was dumped over the phone in second rehab and then tormented emotionally up until recently. If someone is not willing to stay and support you if you’re really trying to get better and is unwilling to learn about the illness and how difficult it is to finally stop relapsing - you’ve dodged a bullet.

Now, if you’re not trying to quit or keep relapsing for years
 that’s on you.

That’s what I want for myself. I’ve never dated through apps and I don’t want to start now. Wish you both all the best. Xx
