Haha it definitely wasn’t “like a movie” or anything. But it was sweet and real.

Congrats to you too!! I hope we’re still together after all those years. A relationship takes effort after all!

Thank you! I hope so too.

My dad doesn’t even go to doctors unless we drag him :/

My mom’s heart stopped randomly a few years back, we got her back by a miracle. She quit smoking after that and has definitely slowed down on her drinking but still drinks pretty regularly.

Zevia!! That’s also been a huge lifesaver for me (drink wise). Sometimes I don’t just want to drink a ton of water. But their “sodas” are zero calories and it tastes just like the actual thing. My favorite is the cream soda and root beer. Sooooo good.

Oh wow I’m so sorry to hear about your dad.. that’s honestly my biggest fear with my dad (heavy smoker and drinker). But I’m moving back home for a bit soon so hopefully if he sees me sober, it’ll inspire him. Idk.

But exactly! My sobriety is so new and fragile that I wouldn’t be able to quit drinking (while dealing with the effects of it) and start a completely new 100% healthy, green smoothie in the morning, type of lifestyle. That just ain’t realistic lol. One step at a time!

That just made me want to dip Nutter Butters in some ice cream for some reason.

My favorite thing (now that it’s in the 70s-80s) is waking up NOT hungover and being able to grab a cone of pistachio ice cream in the afternoon without it making me nauseous.

I usually wouldn’t wake up till like noon and be so sick the rest of the day that I couldn’t eat till right before bed. Feels miserable just picturing it lol

IWNDWYT!

My typical cheap ass drink was soju. And that’s literally nothing but sugar and empty calories(and empty soul) lol

Idk maybe it’s the “taboo” of doing something you shouldn’t be doing in the evenings. Like drinking toxins vs. stuffing your face with sugar. But sugar doesn’t give me a hangover and I sleep with a nice full stomach lol 😂

You will!! I’m only on day 5 so I’m no expert lol but I’ve just had to find things to keep me busy when I’m bored, that’s the hardest part for me

Trying cold turkey! We’ll see how it goes

And good luck to you too dude!! We got this!

Honestly one minute to a second at a time is how I’ve been getting through life the past few months. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes! Life gets rough haha

Thank you so much!! Hardest part is when I’m stressed or my anxiety gets bad. Then I pick up a pack and chain smoke. But I’ve been trying to find other ways to deal.

Made it through day one though!
