I’m an ex junkie been 18 years no opiates had a total of 16 years in church basements I learn a lot there of what to do and what not to do. Met a lot of good people met a lot of scumbags. At the end of the day we make our own choices if we put ourselves first we have a shot. Now that being said I’m no longer in the rooms I do have an occasional drink but with taking Reta it’s god awful. Tbh my concern is if I come off Reta if alcohol will be something that tells good again we shall see.
I know you keep saying it’s the reta that’s making you not want to drink. Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn’t. But I think you’re giving the medication too much credit.
The truth is, it’s not the reta. It’s you.
You made the decision. You chose to stop. You chose to fight through the urges. You chose to build a better life.
Every day you wake up and choose not to drink is a victory. Every temptation you overcome is proof that you are stronger than the addiction. The medication may be a tool, but tools don’t build a house by themselves. The builder does.
Thank God for the strength He provides, and keep moving forward one day at a time.
You are proving to be a Real asset to this group buddy - Keep it up!!!
Stay away from the Drink buddy - NO GOOD ever comes from doing it, its still a mind altering, highly addictive drug that just comes in a more 'sociable' glass.
This week has been hard. Been on vacation with the family. My oldest son is of drinking age and has fun doing it. I've been sober for two years. There have been so many times this week that I wanted a beer. Thank you Jesus for keeping me sober.
Today is my 95th day of not 1 sip of alcohol. Saving my body for the tren I’m going to add next week
It is hard and we are with YOU …. My wife says ohhh wanted you can have 1. I shake my head , what’s the point of having just 1. FUCK THAT I don’t want any
Congrats brother! Stay strong!
Yeah buddy - the amount of times I've said 'Its only 2 glasses of wine whilst I am waiting for my tea to cook in the oven, then I won't have anymore for the rest of the night Lol Yeah more like the whole bottle is drunk while I am waiting for the food - then the inevitable dash out to the shops before they close to get that litre bottle of vodka .....
Congrats on the 95 days. Stay strong and stay focused!
2 years for me too. Memorial day 2024 was my last run. About a year into sobriety we took a family cruise. I was worried about staying sober... First night on the boat I ran into a guy in the pisser, drunk AF with that blank stare in his eyes and couldn't stand up. I needed to see that, cause that's how I drink and it reminded me why I quit. My daughter is of drinking age in mexico, now as well. I figured she would get hammered in mexico but she didn't even get off the boat for excursion.
My 2 oldest kids would see me knee walking drunk all the time. I'm so glad those day are gone.
