2021 was a disgusting mess of a year, and I don't think 2022 is going to be any better. At least we can try to focus on our own health and well-being. I have been planning this for awhile, but 2021 Atlas made sure to be a jerk and left a full, open beer on my bedside table so I had to throw that out when I woke up. Good one, 2021 me! Anyway, let's encourage each other and draw dick pics here.

I smoked a lot of dabs from 2020-2021 but I stopped weed entirely after Xmas. I don’t have a problem with alcohol so I’m using that to fill the gap until the cravings go away. Only problem is when I smoke I don’t dream. When I quit smoking, I dream frequently about smoking so it’s tough…

My goal is to have the most sober ‘22 as possible so I can relearn how to make friends. I’m hoping that’s a correct route to take

I'll join you OP, I've done the "go sober for a month or two at a time" thing before. Staying sober will also help for my other 2022 goal, losing 65 pounds so I get under 200 for the first time since 2005.

No issues with drinking, but developed a bit of a nasty coke habit over the last few years and it's the second I've had a couple of beers it happens. Quitting drinking for two months to sort of reset. Edit: Colonel Cancer posted:Being sober is bad for your mental health Probably true tho

I was afraid I'd be going this alone but I guess being twelve hours ahead of most posters meant that it's only just now January for most goons. Today was good, though I felt like rear end in the morning since I decided to go out with a bang. I'm feeling great now and settling in for the evening, so I guess I can cross one day off the calendar. My wife doesn't drink like I do and wanted a glass of wine this afternoon but decided she would be supportive and try to go without. She's mostly annoyed since we don't go back to work until the 10th (teachers) and wanted to continue to enjoy the holiday, but she quickly got over it. I'd also like to shed some weight this month. With any luck I'll finally get back into my old workout regime. I also did not have a soda today so lots of positive vibes on day one!

Quit drinking in March of last year. After the first 4 four months, I no longer even think of my old habits of knowing exactly when the liquor store opens, or knowing what my plans will be after getting off work. Best of luck OP. There's an E/N thread on the subject if you want support.

im almost on my first full year alcohol free, just a few weeks from now. i guess ive lived with the alcoholics who really NEED HELP, so i know i am a lucky one who could get out while i was ahead, the way i see it. really i took a gamble and walked away from a hated job last year, and i told myself i would not be unemployed and drunk. by the time i found the next gig i was over alcohol Still blazing it though cuz thats religion

It's unlikely that I'm gonna participate seeing how I don't really drink that often anyway but I'll be cheering on and supporting those who do! I may do it inadvertently though  <-- cheering with a root beer

i used to get hosed up a lot a lot. i quit drinking in october. i still dream about it sometimes, but it's less often now than it was when it was fresh. now it just feels weird cause it's like quitting something you were good at it. i mean i practiced drinking way longer than pretty much any other skill i have lol. i was good at drinking. at the same time i also quit dip after a ~15 year habit. at the peak of that i was going through a can of skoal a day. i was dipping in every shower, every car ride, every lunch break at work, after every meal, and after ever drink. i had to quit both at the same time if i was gonna have any chance of quitting one of them and i basically went hardcore turtle depressed mode for over a week and only played video games to kill time. i don't want to downplay it too much cause it's important people understand how bad that first week sucks. i legit wanted to die. i kinda wanted to kill myself for a solid week. you really feel like an addict piece of poo poo that can't function sober. but you just gotta get through it. oh and i ended up quitting caffeine too cause once i felt better sober....I'd say about 3 weeks into it, i was noticing i was sleeping/waking up easier and caffeine was a crutch for drinking all the time i didnt really need once i removed the drinking. that wasnt a goal or anything it just happened. goongrats

Good for you man, that is really impressive! I quit cigarettes about a year after I stopped drinking and found it much easier. I can’t imagine trying to quit at the same time I stopped drinking, that sounds like absolute hell. Caffeine I can’t do without though, tried to quit that for a while but could not hack it

I just get motion sickness when I get drunk and never liked it so drinking has never been a problem for me. I've never been high though, so I was actually thinking of changing that in 2022. Sorry I can't contribute to your sober thread, maybe I'll see you next year.

Stopped drinking in Sept 2019, stopped smoking weed in May 2021. Stopping drinking a fifth a day was good for my physical health. My mental health started improving when I stopped abusing the gently caress out of weed, too. Sobriety is good. I recommend not substituting one drug for another. Recovery groups are valuable to me personally, but I was very against them for a long time. If anyone wants support or to talk about sobriety, PM me. It’s hard to make the decision to do it, and some days are harder than others. Doing it alone is much harder.

Sticking to just the weed if I can. No more beer and cigs. Gonna be tough, but luckily I only smoke cigs when I drink for the most part. I drink a lot of beer though.

I have a serious alcohol problem. For the past few months I was drinking 750ml of whiskey a day. I ended up taking a trip to the hospital by the police at the beginning of November for suicide with a BAC of 0.412. The hospital made me sign an agreement that I wouldn't drink for 90 days or have any other mental health crises or else they could commit me for 6 months. Needless to say I finally have some motivation to stay sober now. It's been almost 2 months and although I'm doing much better not drinking I'm still not in a good spot due to bipolar disorder. I've been getting ECT the past month and I can't drink during that either. I still have some to go but it's not working and I'm not doing well. I plan on staying sober for January and beyond that. I hope all of you have a good time staying sober!

Don't drink anymore due to health reasons but drank alot when I was homeless. I was so miserable and it was an easy escape. Stopped once I had a roof over my head but quitting after drinking daily for over 2 years was a little rough, but other people have suffered way worse so I consider myself lucky. Never was a smoker. Now it's just brain pills and weed. Without weed my appetite is lousy and it helps manage pain.

I did ect when I was getting sober too and i feel like it did help but it was subtle and took me a while to notice. Keep at it for as long as you can, I hope you can make it a permanent change but even if you only stop for a few months it really helps your body. Now that youre sober I recommend taking up a really dumb hobby of some kind ChunTheUnavoidable fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Jan 1, 2022 |

I'm not gonna relapse on coke or p2p meth once this year, hopefully no subsequent years either. I'm gonna keep my poo poo together, smoke weed when I got it and do ayahuasca 2x for brain upkeep and neurogenesis evangellion. Drinking hasn't been an issue for about ten years. I would really love to stop vaping cuz it feels white trash and I really hate the slavery of addiction some days. Also my lungs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Lw53hFBIs
