LonelyStoner 07/12/25 8:48:57 AM #1:	I cant tell you how much better I feel in such a short time. More focused, more productive, enjoying my usual hobbies, less anxious, less stressed, my relationships have improved dramatically, etc. I occasionally have the urge to drink, but Ive gotten pretty decent at diverting that urge into something more positive, like gaming or house projects. --- He's all alone through the day and night. <cite>LonelyStoner posted [p:985743421] in 33 days no...

Yellow 07/13/25 10:49:04 AM #9:	When I stopped I was frustrated that I wasn't enjoying my nightly games or hanging out or anything, just constant anxiety. Eventually my brain adjusted. The cravings took longer to go away, but those only last for like a minute at most. Actually, no cravings I ever had fully went away. I still want a cigarette every now and then. <cite>Yellow posted [p:985755170] in 33 days no...

Salrite 07/13/25 10:58:46 AM #10:	I've never had a problem with alcohol, oddly enough. I don't have much of a desire to drink anyways, but will splurge maybe once a month or two for a week. Then I start to feel gross and stop for a while. I've had a couple beers in the fridge for a week and still haven't gotten around to finding the desire to finish them. Alcohol seems to amplify whatever mood I'm in, and I'm depressed most of the time, so it's not a great experience. <cite>Salrite posted [p:985755249] in 33 days no...

adjl 07/14/25 12:27:59 PM #17:	LonelyStoner posted... Thanks for the support, guys. It means a lot. Especially when Im around others who are drinking. The temptations and triggers are always there. Its nice to know I dont need it to be conversational. The couple of times I've deliberately cut back on/stopped my drinking (I wouldn't say it's ever been a real problem, just the occasional period where I realized I was drinking more for the sake of it than because I was actually enjoying it, so I stopped), I've been pleasantly surprised by how readily everyone around me accepted that. I haven't needed to make excuses or face any kind of pressure, I've just had my decision respected, and that was pretty cool. I didn't particularly feel like I needed support through those periods (because they were largely arbitrary and not trying to fix a problem), but it was nice to realize that I'd successfully surrounded myself with good people. Either way, keep it up. I can't say I've experienced it myself, but I know that quitting when you do have a problem is pretty hard and you've already accomplished quite a lot. --- This is my signature.
