I haven't been out here and posted in a long time; I have kind of made the issue not a part of life I spend much time thinking about. Day 855.

Hi UpDownAround, nice to see your name, and congrats on your name. I'm glad you've reached the point where it's a non-issue in your regular thinking, Hope to get there myself.

5 months sober in just over a week[!], which has gone quite fast for me.
Now that the weather is becoming sunnier though, I've been getting the drinking bug a bit. But I just shift my thoughts away from drinking and remind myself of the reality of my alcoholism - and if you're an AA person, that's all about Step 1 and powerlessness. Wishing everyone encouragement on your journey's. We're powerless, folks! Don't drink and drug! |

Fret not, @childofchaos831, and just keep trying and trying. It's normal to stumble at times. |

I'm sorry you relapsed, but it's not the end of the world. You know how many times I've relapsed and started over. The important part is to try to learn from the relapse, so if the same set of triggers arise in the future, you won't be as tempted to use. And get right back on the sobriety wagon. I'm cheering you on. splitimage __________________ "I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun". From my favourite hymn.

I was gonna go skiing today but I slept in. Took 2 hours to fall asleep last night so I was asleep by 4am. It's from phenibut withdrawal. Took a 1mg xanax.
I was over the withdrawal but I decided to take more for a few days because it makes my hikes so much more fun like alcohol. Everyone else was drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and marijuana. I feel left out. I don't want to be moody and depressed. It's hard. But it's been like 4 months without cigarettes. |

On day 1 again... I'm probably going to end up in the hospital again by the end of today... I've been in a couple times recently, one after a su attempt. If I'm honest with the T at PHP, I will be in the hospital by the end of the day.

I hit 17 months yesterday for one of my addictions. And also had to restart on the one I'm trying to stop. Something needs to click. I need to be stronger to help others. But my mood has suffered. I wish I could do what I used too.

My dad brought me to the music store which is an awesome place and I didnt feel like trying out the electric guitars or even looking at them cuz depress so I took phenibut now will take a nap and wait for it to kick in. I really hate this it's like the universe is teaching me a lesson but all the hikes i did, I was happy and care free but now I have no happy thoughts.. it makes me care more.. kill apathy and I realize that my depression my whole life has just been apathy.. not caring about anything..

12 days sober from drinking alcohol as of now. I don't even understand sometimes why I want to be sober. It's almost as if other people are putting desires in my mind... Anyone ever experienced that? I am such a pushover that I accept advice from nearly anyone. So when people say I should stop drinking, I think I have a problem with alcohol. But no therapist or doctor has ever told me I have an addiction to alcohol or anything else. Why is there this disparity between what the professionals think and what I think?

There are many books out there about how to quit drinking. I am at day 28 and have lost 8 pounds so am happy about this. I have always been a binge drinker.regular drinking became problem drinking as I got older (I am 56)I am bipolar and this interacts with my drinking. I also have other OCD atype/addictions...Food, skin picking and internet usage. Tell me more about your drinking if you want to. bizi __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |

I have been able to quit for this short time this time. I am planning on just telling people, "I don't drink" next time I am at a social function. I am confident in my non-drinking self. The thing that was making me doubt the whole quitting alcohol thing was just my mental state, which I think is pretty negative (or at least was pretty negative). I am taking care of that by (hopefully) switching psychiatrists. Thanks though... |
