Yess I’m on the same wave, been sober since ‘22. My partner made me a lovely cold brew peppermint mocha and stuck a candy cane in it 💞

Decided this would be a sober day so I can drive to and from the xmas rave

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

good on ya

alcohol is the worst drug of all the possibilities :)

Maybe hypocritical, given my post ITT, but I totally agree. It’s a poison. I plan to leave it in 2024, before the addiction gets worse

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

good choice, no one ever regrets that decision!

Thank you! I just have to get over that first hump and I’ll be free, but oh boy is that first hump a tough one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

it sure is! i ate candy like it was halloween every day for the first month.. insatiable sugar cravings that would not quit... then it eased up a bit over the next month or so

the immediate effects of being able to sleep more soundly and that first weekend of no hangover are pretty amazing though

you can do it!

That’ll be me with the fizzy water. Thankfully I don’t have a sweet tooth, but the routine is my killer. I’m glad to hear that it’s not just me who has trouble with the first stage. Thank you again!

Cooking right now, so I'm trying to stay sober until the lasagna is in the oven

But once that's done I got a big bottle of coquito that's been mingling in the fridge

For sure, I mostly grab the juicy because I like efficiency, but I’ve grown to appreciate the flavor of all of em

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Not yet haha. Drank too much last night - we have a tradition of going out to a dive bar Xmas eve.

But, biking around to our friends houses distributing im-vegan gingersnaps and shots of Fireball, so I really only have so long available to me before I have to start drinking again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Idk if my mom got enough (also mildly geographically doxxing myself with craft beer selection)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Needed a tiny amount of orange juice for a glaze for some tofu-cool so we made mimosas

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I was planning on it, but then I ran all outta booze on Christmas eve instead oops

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I was. Still am. Marg Bar America.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago
