I'm at Wally world, might pick up a B complex vitamin.

My multivitamin has b12 and thiamine, but not the others.

I found good quality chelated blend magnesium glycinate, MSM and some liquid chlorophyll drops 50% off at walmart tuesday.

Our Walmart usually only carries magnesium oxide. I was surprised
 
How embarrassing, i went to pee after worship, my zipper was down and the message was on sex, I was the new one, there with the family, they were wanting me to go down and pray and had to tell my mom, them people come greet me to shake my hand and all i can think is them seeing my zipper down, like wth was i doing back there. xD

Day 2 of no alcohol.
Woke up feeling like shit, today will be even more shit. Have to go out and work on getting the paperwork for an ID which is 2 separate government buildings, have to take dog to vet, have to take car to shop, cleaned and detailed, more shit to wash, all while I'm like going through alcohol WDs.
I just want to lay in bed, and sadly that won't happen.
 
Checking in after being away for most of the year. The last drink I had was in May, and before that it was a few months. The lady I knocked up lost the baby, but I didn't drink this time. I replaced booze with Red Bali Kratom and marijuana. Eventually I'll get off that, too. I hope everyone is doing well, and I believe in you all.

At least you were busy, how’s your day going?
 
How's it been going @evrryone?
Had a bit of a tempting night to say the least as my two friends turned up at my place with some beers which I was "fine" with.... the drunker they got the more they kept offering 🤦‍♀️ it's a hard one because I know they didn't mean it as they wouldn't have offered sober but after being wiped out with covid I just wanted to get pissed as a fart but I didn't (partly because there wasn't enough booze there imo) and then i sort of threw them out early 😐
I felt like shit but had to, thought I'd be cool with it (in my place for the first time since stopping) but they did end up annoyingly really drunk (pure enjoying themselves and everything the pricks Lol!!) So I was defo jealous and my face was tripping me no doubt about it I just wanted them to leave so I could enjoy a vape in peace....what can you do....maybe next time won't be so bad 🎻
 
hey, bartenders also throw people out all the time. Sometimes they just clear out the whole bar at once! And they are even paid of it! And they are fucking professionals!

I am drunk (not enough) and try to type and remember things. Freaking mirtazapine.

I've tapered down to 10-11 units. I didn't drink the other day and only had mild withdrawals.

Progress!

I've been having to do that. I get so much anxiety and the aches and pains set in about 48 hours after not drinking and it's gotten scary. I mean so scary I start looking up symptoms and checking my pulse. It's crazy. I'd just walk away scared sober at this point if I didn't fear the withdrawal. I realize it's just withdrawal when I take a drink and everything calls down but my gut is wrecked. Almost went full panick mode one time but I talked myself out of it by rationalizing with myself. A strange argument to have with one's self. At this point there is no doubt in done with it but it's not done with me. I'm trying to taper off. It's going good so far. One less Oz per day but yesterday even cutting down that far costed me more insomnia and nightmares. One nightmare was me dying in bed. That sucked even waking up to! Alcohol withdrawals are no joke. I'm scared not to keep tapering but I need to be more precise with it. It's a goddamn demon!

I'm being scared sober.
 
Hey everyone..

I just want to mention this hashtag on Twitter, #RecoveryPosse. I'm not really part of it but I run into it and I'm pretty impressed by what I've seen.

A guy on his first night not drinking in *nine years* is posting atm. He's terrified, but the amount of supportive messages is impressive. There are a LOT of people with drinking problems out there 😞

So if anyone's on Twitter or considering it, take a look. Seems to be a good system 😊
 
@AbbeyLee popular post on reddit today about how someone shared they were just out of the hospital for DTs/alcohol psychosis and their next post was from the bar gettting drunk.

This post was labeled as "cringey" when in reality 95% of them don't understand.

It's sad, it's frustrating, but it's not cringey like some fucking half assed meme.

In a world of disease and mental disorder acceptance alcohol gets completely ignored and treated differently.
