not to get too earnest but i’ve been sober for almost six months now which is far and away the longest i’ve gone without alcohol since i was 18. never thought i was capable of doing this in a thousand years. i fr thought i would drink until forced to stop by a medical diagnosis or an ultimatum from a loved one or something. but i chose this for myself! rock bottom is wherever you decide to stop digging, etc etc

Breaking the Habit: Strategies to Stop Drinking and Reclaim Your Life

Deciding to stop drinking is a positive step for your health. Here's a kickstart:

Plan:  Identify triggers and craft coping mechanisms. What makes you crave a drink? Plan healthy activities to replace that urge.

Support: Tell trusted friends and family. Consider support groups for encouragement and shared experiences.

Avoid Triggers:  Ditch alcohol at home and avoid situations centered around drinking. Find new sober social activities.

Self-Care: Prioritize healthy habits. Eat well, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep to manage withdrawal symptoms.

Remember, quitting takes time. Be patient with yourself, celebrate milestones, and seek help if needed. You've got this!

there's a thread on r/stopdrinking asking ppl when they realized their drinking was problematic and it's so crazy bc some people are like "when i was having 1 or 2 drinks every day" and others are like "when i couldn't help my kid with schoolwork bc of withdrawals"

[sage-a-licious]

I’m really trying to examine my relationship with alcohol and joined the r/stopdrinking subreddit to see what the benefits are and I keep going back and forth on whether I want to have some drinks tonight. Now that I’m on that sub I feel like an alcoholic that would be falling off the wagon. I’m very confused.

[mewwon]

The Reddit stopdrinking sub always makes me teary everyone ends their posts with ‘IWNDWYT’ (I will not drink with you today) as like a mantra and to remind people that they’re not alone in their struggles to stay sober and that even one person somewhere is willing to do it with them .. peace and love on planet earth

1,000 Days Sober!

This is such a fun milestone, going from a 3 digit day streak to a 4 digit one! Or as they say over at r/stopdrinking, I gained a comma! 🎉

[smashing-yng-man]

The /r/stopdrinking subreddit delivers.

"Pathways to Healing- A Comprehensive Guide to Group Addiction Recovery"

Addiction recovery is a challenging and multifaceted journey that often requires a comprehensive support system. One of the most effective resources for individuals in recovery are support groups. These groups provide a community of individuals who share similar experiences and struggles, offering a sense of belonging and understanding. Here, we will explore some of the most well-known and effective groups for addiction recovery, their approaches, and the benefits they offer.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is one of the oldest and most well-known support groups for individuals struggling with alcohol addiction. Founded in 1935, AA operates on a 12-step program designed to help individuals achieve and maintain sobriety. The 12 steps are a set of principles that guide members through the process of recovery, emphasizing the importance of admitting powerlessness over alcohol, seeking help from a higher power, making amends, and helping others in their recovery journey. AA meetings are free and open to anyone who wants to stop drinking, providing a safe space for individuals to share their experiences and support each other.

Narcotics Anonymous (NA)

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is similar to AA but is tailored for individuals struggling with drug addiction. NA was founded in 1953 and also follows a 12-step program. NA meetings provide a supportive environment where members can share their experiences and challenges related to drug addiction. Like AA, NA emphasizes the importance of mutual support and accountability in achieving and maintaining sobriety. The organization operates on the principle that addiction is a disease that can be managed through abstinence and peer support.

SMART Recovery

SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) offers a science-based approach to addiction recovery. Unlike AA and NA, which are spiritually based, SMART Recovery focuses on empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives through self-reliance and evidence-based techniques. The program is built on a 4-point system: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and living a balanced life. SMART Recovery meetings are facilitated by trained volunteers and are available both in-person and online, making them accessible to a wide audience.

Celebrate Recovery

Celebrate Recovery is a Christian-based support group that addresses a wide range of addictions and compulsive behaviors. Founded in 1991, the program integrates the 12 steps of AA with biblical principles. Celebrate Recovery meetings are typically held at local churches and provide a supportive community for individuals seeking to overcome addiction through faith and fellowship. The program emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in the recovery process and offers separate groups for men and women to address gender-specific issues.

Refuge Recovery

Refuge Recovery is a Buddhist-inspired path to addiction recovery. This program is based on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, traditional Buddhist teachings that emphasize mindfulness, meditation, and ethical living. Refuge Recovery meetings provide a supportive environment where individuals can practice meditation, share their experiences, and support each other in their recovery journey. The program is designed to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their addiction and cultivate a sense of inner peace and compassion.

Online Support Groups

In addition to traditional in-person meetings, there are numerous online support groups for addiction recovery. These groups provide a convenient and accessible option for individuals who may not have access to local meetings or prefer the anonymity of online interactions. Websites like In The Rooms, Sober Recovery, and Reddit's r/stopdrinking offer forums, chat rooms, and virtual meetings where individuals can connect with others in recovery, share their experiences, and receive support.

Benefits of Support Groups

Support groups offer numerous benefits for individuals in addiction recovery. They provide a sense of community and belonging, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness. Sharing experiences and hearing from others who have faced similar challenges can offer hope and motivation. Support groups also provide accountability, helping individuals stay committed to their recovery goals. Additionally, these groups often offer practical advice and coping strategies that can be invaluable in navigating the ups and downs of the recovery process.

In conclusion, support groups are a vital resource for individuals in addiction recovery. Whether through traditional 12-step programs, science-based approaches, faith-based communities, or online forums, these groups provide the support, understanding, and encouragement needed to achieve and maintain sobriety.

PSA for anyone with SUD on Reddit: on the sub called r/stopdrinking, the one moderator named u/sfgirlmary is a social media terrorist and a gatekeeping asshole. Google her for more proof; you've been warned! Go to u/dryalcoholics instead.

I've been drinking 750 mL if Malibu coconut rum (the size of a bottle of wine) almost every day for 2 months.

I probbly wont go cold turky because I did my research. I'm going to post to stopdrinking on reddit to see what other peoples experiences are.

I'm thinking I'll have like 1/4 of a bottle every other day.

I wish I could go cold turkey.

I hate alcohol and I never want to drink again.

4 January 2023 - Wednesday

Oh woah here we are again! Second day in a row of (1) posting, and (2) taking my meds in the morning! I didn’t sleep very well last night, or the night before. Last night was definitely a side effect of the meds, I remember vaguely this happening before. I have a doctors appointment in February, so here’s hoping I can get in and out without too much trouble. I hate med checks because I always feel like my doctor doesn’t believe me, whether I’m doing great or poorly. But hey, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I spent a little bit of time today spiraling down various r/offmychest threads about wanting to quit drinking, as well as r/stopdrinking threads. I did notice there are a lot of similar opinions to the ones that I have - in regard to the whole “cringe factor” part of remembering (or not remembering…) things that an individual did while drunk. I’ve been going back and forth in my mind - I want to have a glass of wine with dinner, or a beer on the porch in the summertime, but I know myself well enough that I cannot do stuff like that if I want to work on bettering myself. I physically cannot drink in moderation, no matter how hard I try. I will 100% act as a complete and utter fool again the next time I have a f e w drinks with a group of people.

On the flip side of the coin, I know I can buy all the NA products my little heart desires and drink as much as I want, and not act foolish.

With all that said, for the time being, I think I’ll be sticking to my seltzer water.
