Sobriety-ish

I'm really impressed with the way so many of you have been vulnerable in your replies here. I won't pretend to know what it is like to drink too much. I'm pretty much a prude when it comes to drugs and alcohol. Not that I won't drink on occasion, but now it gives me heartburn so it's really limited. I've never done drugs of any kind.

I do live in Colorado. You'd think I'd give it a chance.

Well shit man. I’m the last person you want advice from. Been sick since Monday but in the past I would have just drank + whatever else and forgotten that I don’t feel well. Planning on one vodka drink with strawberries and Fresca. Wine or Whiskey?

So bizarre that I feel motivated to besmirch (probs not the right word but I really enjoy it) the drink. Definitely didn’t feel like I needed one tonight which is a seismic shift for me.

Whoa!! That’s huge. Good job. Did you stick to the 2 drinks last night and have some dinner?

Both, started with wine now I’m sipping on some Jameson. I fvcking love a whiskey buzz. I was feeling sore from working out, but I’m comfortably numb now after a weed drink and some whiskey.

Yes sir. I’m not patting myself on the back quite yet but the last 5 days are, without question, the smallest amount of alcohol I have consumed in years.

With this positive beginning to change I have the hankering to go shoe shopping.

Yeah man I’m here if you need anything. Tonight could have been a full 750 and a bunch of beers and all of the other party favors. I hate feeling that way but I didn’t do it.

Thanks brother. I’ve taken it fairly easy, I actually mixed the whiskey once tonight. Bought a small 375ml bottle and didn’t even drink half of it. I do always seem to fabricate a reason to drink though. Sadly it’s harder to find a reason not too.

Yeah most of us have our vices right? Like others have mentioned in this thread about an obsession with food. With some it’s shopping. Or sex. Doesn’t matter, I just know I want to get better.

God damnit Brian! Stop judging me with your wow emoji!

Everything in moderation is the key to life.

Except those of us with OCD, that concept is impossible.

I will say a rosary for you.

That’s funny. I do that with my house plants. Succulents in particular have similar symptoms with too much/too little water. It would be a lot cooler if they could just tell me what they needed!

Sorry, I’m OCD about plants.

Best to you, sir.

Why wouldn’t you pat yourself on the back? You should. Brother, we don’t do a good enough job celebrating the little victories in life let alone the big ones. What you’ve done the last couple days isn’t a small victory. Pat yourself on the back.
