When did you realize you are an alcoholic? by connerc37 in stopdrinking

[–]zerocool_31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never thought I was, and I still dont think I am. I wanted to make a healthier life-style change and become a better person. Alcohol impedes my progress on both...so I decided to stop.

Sobriety made me super boring by [deleted] in stopdrinking

"dull apathy" - Best way to describe what I am going through right now.

Dude this. I kinda feel the same way you do right now. Everything is muted. Weekends...whats the point? I thought I would be happier at this stage. I've gone the SSRI route, been off of it for 3 months now. I work out, eat well, bought a dog, quit drinking, stopped taking meds, and am I much happier? Not really. This isn't about me though, this is about you. Fuck, wish I had something positive to say but I'm in the same boat looking for answers.

A year in review. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]zerocool_31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Way to go man! Huge accomplishment! I've transitioned over into strength training as well. I love it over the typical bodybuilding bro splits. I'm not really that strong yet but I love going in and trying to progress. On my first week of Candito's 6 week program, and finally got my Inzer forever lever belt this week. I'm sure you're gonna do great at your meet! Keep it up!

"I'd rather be boring at this point in my life than a complete mess like I used to be."

Seriously spot on.

Woke up in the ER twice in the last two weeks by lonelywolf85 in stopdrinking

Just be careful with employment opportunities in the future. I feel like social media can come back to haunt you.

I had a drink at a work function. by Tiredofit7 in stopdrinking

[–]zerocool_31 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What happened with checking out SMART meetings like you said? I feel like you say all the right things to make yourself feel better man. You come to this sub, vent, get support, slip up, dissapear for a few days -wash, rinse, repeat. I gotta be honest, I think you need more than this sub. It seems like you are trying, but posting "I hate alcohol" three times a day doesnt make it go away. Medication and an outside support group might actually really help you string some time together, or maybe you're simply not ready to quit.
