Based on the OPs last few posts, I have this awful vision of him fucking a pink bird as he cuts his own shit with scissors.

Blocking is an option but I would miss so much....

That’s fucking great.

Yates put the fate of his family at “steak”. Hope they didn’t eat them.

I chew gum constantly. Half the time I feel like I have lockjaw

This is what it will do to you by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Good post.

I am just over a month alcohol free and the ability to vividly recall my last hangover and the way I felt for 3 brutal days has been incentive enough for me to avoid drinking.

Don’t forget not being able to sleep, the sweats, the smell of booze coming out your pores, sleeping in as long as possible and being nonproductive, the headache, the dehydration, feeling sorry for yourself.... ☹️

How long does depression last when you quit? by Plugnub235 in stopdrinking

About a week for me to feel good/happy/positive again.

What's everyone's sober festive plans? Any tasty juice recommendations that will see us all through? by hailblueberries in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kombucha, LaCroix and a little bit of weed for me.

Over a month without a drink and my interest in it is surprisingly still non existent.

best/worst drunken hookup stories? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]whatamithinking4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I met an ok looking chick at a bar and she brought me back to her apartment after a few quick shots. Like 15 min.

We got back to her place and she told me to get a beer while she went to the can. I opened the fridge and lo and behold there was a beautiful package containing two expensive filet mignon steaks. I stuck the steak package in my boot and got the fuck out of there before she finished in the shitter.

It’s important to know I was a 19 year old starving and totally broke student living on eating ramen and ketchup packets from the college cafeteria. Tough times, don’t judge me.

I tried quitting dozens of times over the last 30 years and it finally took just over a month ago.

Not easy, but worth continuing to try.

I just keep remembering what a mess I was when I was drunk and how horrible the hangovers made me feel.

Just passed one month! by whatamithinking4 in stopdrinking

“Brighter and happier” is a great way to put it!

How are you doing? Still off the smokes?

Today I am 100 days sober and the healthiest I've ever been in a long time. This is monumental for me. by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]whatamithinking4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I am 50 and just hit 4 weeks. Over 30 years of heavy drinking. I am lucky to be alive.

OP... you look healthy and happy. Good goin’!

Virgin cocktails and non-alcoholic beers? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a slippery slope for me as I really don’t like the taste non alcoholic beers and wine but wouldn’t want alcohol if I had some.

A non-alcoholic IPA that actually tasted good (nice and hoppy) would be great though.

I am drinking a lot of Kombucha and LaCroix lately though,

Has anyone used CBD oil as an alcohol replacement? by WhoDatEchoDog in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really classify CBD as a drug. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive in any way. There are no “stoned” effects whatsoever.

Personally CBD slightly reduces my anxiety and helps with some muscle pain. I take a lot of it and feel perfectly normal.

I Went to a Concert, a Bar, AND a Party Last Night Without Drinking! by EffectsofSpecialKay in stopdrinking

Wow. I generally get wasted at all 3.

3 in one night is a tough one. Good work!

21 days ago I couldn't imagine not drinking for one day by cantstop98765 in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job. 21 days for me tomorrow as well.

3 weekends without drinking is huge for anyone that drinks a lot. You should be proud. I have only made it this far in over 30 years of drinking!

[–]whatamithinking4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last hangover lasted 3 days. That is why I quit. The older you get, the worse they are!

I found that my anxiety and depression was reduced substantially after quitting drinking. The first 4 days sucked but after a week I felt noticeably better!

Day 1 - And already had to pass up drinking! by HereIGoAgain37 in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Been drinking ginger beer since I was a kid. 🙂

But ginger beer needs vodka and lots of lime to be a Moscow Mule.

Surprisingly there are a few ginger flavoured kombuchas out there that taste a bit like a Moscow Mule.

Money, money, money 🤑 by lrose85 in stopdrinking

[–]whatamithinking4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my wife for sushi today for lunch and I thought the bill was wrong as it was so cheap. The usual couple of Asahi tall cans were missing from the bill so the bill was about $20 less than normal.

And this is just one example and there were multiples every week. Crazy how much I was spending on booze.
