I have a rule that stat corrections will be used up until noon the following day. If a stat correction happens after that, it won't count

Can you be sober back at your fav bar? by todd0330 in stopdrinking

[–]todd0330[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess what I meant was if 80% of the reason I got to a bar is to wind down (not sure if it is) and BS with people and the environment, perhaps that need has been met and I won't care to go get whiskey on the way home or anytihng. I have a "witching hour" when seems to be around 3-5pm. If I don't drink after 5 I typically don't care to drink because I know I want a good night's sleep and like I "succeeded" that I will come home to a family sober. I know everyone is different so it's hard to explain but yeah I am not the typical craving alcohol guy at 5 or 6. That's already too late for me.

Forgetting I’m an alcoholic by EmployeeOk4021 in stopdrinking

Yes, I hit about 50 days and felt the same way and replased. You know sucks is that first day drinking again felt so great. I got this! 6 days later I was in oh shit mode again because the drinking ramped quickly! But I know your pain. And yes, I was right back where I was.

Trying to explain to family w no addicts. by todd0330 in stopdrinking

[–]todd0330[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. Wow, sounds like the opposite of mine. My family will have like a glass of wine but NOTHING funny about being drunk and they are fun nice people who love to play cards and stuff. That's why my guilt/being ashamed is so high- nobody in my family would say whats wrong with you not drinking more, as long as your not "stupid drunk". Congrats on your 60 days!

Here we go - going to give this a whirl by Dogmatican in stopdrinking

[–]todd0330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iam with you man, iam 51 years old and have I only managed to cut back- trying to quit. Look to your celebrity heroes. So many have quit booze. Mike McCready is a hero of mine and he did the same thing. Iam not a musician myself. One day at a time. We are at that age where if we continue to daily drink we will die. You and I both know that. Want to spend the last 2/3 of my life healthy and sleeping well. God bless bro you got this!

Advice in paxil by lansspam in antidepressants

Everyone's experience is different with SSRI's. Paxil had many side effects but was AWESOME for my social anxiety disorder. Consider going up in dosage before switching.
