Are you that person on facebook whose every other post is something about killing someone if they don't get their coffee or something about how they can't deal with xyz without coffee or whatever?  I have one of those.It's ok man. We're all in this together.

I always got the most out of the mindfulness side classes than an actual AA meeting. But all the meetings I went too were masturbatory. Doing the steps with someone one on one was more helpful

Doing the steps with someone one on one was more helpful The VA is really pushing mindfulness now. The VA is also quite slow on adapting treatments so they only do things that have real evidence behind them..... a few years after it's been proven. So yeah, that's something I am going to be working on with my therapist after I hopefully get stabilized some day. I'm reading about it as well. Not everything can be fixed by a pill (or a fistful in my case) and you really need to do the work on your own. That's the hard part when you have a broken brain. Anyway, that's good advice.

If God is the guy who makes you quit drinking then why not instead ask him for the ability to drink in moderation?!

Day 10 in the works. I'm starting to do stuff again. Just little stuff like leaving the house for breakfast or something. Taking my benzos now that I'm not drinking is probably helping with that. I am still posting more in GBS than I ever have before though and that's usually a sign of depression for me. (i'm not lying) Is anyone else working on sobriety or drinking/doing cool drugs less? Any successes?

Keep at it man, you dont want the guilt of breaking your streak! Drinking doesnt make you feel any better, and if it does its fleeting, just do push ups or star jumps or anything for endorphins, really helps

Yeah sure just start doing physical labour that'll help and won't even make you thirsty. How about you just have half a beer then it's not so bad and you can have the second half before bed

Pennywise the Frown posted:Well screw you guys then. < I'm 3 days off of weed, if that counts! I stopped for all of January due to personal reasons (needed to be on-call for work and ready to run in at any moment) but went back in February because weed is cool. I'm going to try for some serious time at least, but I don't drink so weed was always great for social occasions where everyone else drinks and I don't want to be the only sober guy (parties suck when you're the only one not drinking), so there's a good chance I don't stop permanently. But no longer smoking every night/week seems like a good goal at least.

Just remember that it's not a complete failure, no need to give up. In a week from now you'll be able to say you only drank once in the last two weeks and that's good poo poo

Pennywise the Frown posted:I hope so. I'm not happy. Try to give yourself some space to accept it. While it is reasonable to be disappointed, beating yourself up excessively is not productive, either. Of course neither would be taking it in a celebratory fashion. It's something that happened. Give yourself a little time. Hell, if you are dealing with emotional ramifications then writing them down might be a good idea. Journaling is very often a helpful exercise, and you might find it useful here.

It's 4:00pm and I just woke up. I'm pretty disgusted and disappointed with myself. Of course I didn't just get a few, I bought and drank a 12 pack. I don't know how I broke. Just too much emotion rushing back and I can't handle it. Up and down and up and down all in a single day. My meds can only do so much and I just want it to stop. I used to be on some more hardcore meds that really dumbed me down but I don't have those anymore. I gotta find some sort of emergency thing to do when everything starts boiling over. edit: I think I'm learning that loneliness is a big factor. Yes yes yes, lonely sad goon blah blah. I bought a house over a year ago and now I'm just a guy living in a space that is far too big than what I need. No noisy neighbors or parties or a broomstick for me poke my ceiling with. I need to get out more. Pennywise the Frown fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Mar 11, 2017 |

You got any hobbies or poo poo? Like video games or whatever? It's hard if you'd normally hobby and drink, but keeping your mind busy is important to maintaining your sanity and sobriety.

The urge was going on and off last night. One thing that actually helped was playing DCS World (a combat flight sim) with some goons last night. But right when we stopped the urge rushed back and I got beer immediately. Staying occupied is certainly helpful but sometimes it's difficult when you're really depressed and can't even do things that you enjoy. This is quite the conundrum and something I need to figure out.
