Recovery The 2022 alcohol support thread

I'm tired, headache, whole body sore, feel arthritic, feel an ulcer coming on, zero appetite, diarrhea, internal hallucinations, emotional distress, guilt, regret, depression....... and still feel like going to get more booze.

what a truly bizarre disease...

but nope, not tonight Satan... gonna make a sandwich and watch a movie tonight

I'm supposed to go see my newborn niece tomorrow, need to be sober.

Day 11 of no drinking and hoping to never drink alcohol again. It just doesn't agree with me physically and mentally anymore and it isn't worth the hassle. It's one day at a time but my anxiety is so much better without it.

yeehaw good job! keep er up. im on the quittin boat with ya! 74 days today. it's amazing how much more clear headed you fee without the constant hangover or being drunk eh. wish you the best on your journey
 
man l-theanine is kick ass, I took 400mg and noticed a very real non-placebo reduction in stress and anxiety, I had almost no desire to drink today at all which surprised me

I've never really taken it for this purpose, only to cancel out caffeine jitters. It's pretty nice to come off alcohol with.

Nice! I might see if I can get some.
Keep up the good work mate!! Proud of you <3
 
i'm back.

i think mostly i wanted to not be feeling guilty about drinking on holiday. but now i've had a break, a week of decent sleep (20k+ steps a day really helps in that area), my mood is much better so i feel more able to actually at least try to be healthy. got a drs appointment relating to my thread about fertility-related testing tomorrow so nervous about that but gotta bite the bullet.

hope everyone is doing well.
 
Just woke up day 3 sober. Feel good physically, but my internal hallucinations are pretty bad. The gibberish music and words I hear in my head from past serotonergic damage is pretty bad. Alcohol kinda drowned them out, coming off they flare up. Shitty disrupted sleep.

but very determined to not drink, I have shit I need to get done that would never happen if I kept drinking.

time for some coffee and l theanine, good morning beautiful people 🌅, then off to work.

gee it sounds like your brain is putting up quite the fight against sobriety despite your desire to be off the booze. wish you the best for the day! don't work too hard
 
day 1 no booze was fine. took a while to get to sleep and woke in the night and had to take a sleeping pill cos it immediately caused anxiety given the situation i was in before i went on holiday re sleep.

i don't know what i'm really aiming for this time round. total abstinence seems unrealistic. but 'less' is not specific enough. i think no drinking in the week is a good start, that will be a challenge anyway.
 
Why not indeed @Negentropic. I did an online SMART meeting recently and felt stronger and more determined afterwards. Go for it.

I feel like I have went right off the piss lately. I have beer in the fridge, I'll have one or two, but halfway through a can/bottle I'll struggle to finish and end up wasting it.

No extreme tests of resolve necessary currently. I hope this feeling can last, but I doubt it.
