today marks exactly 1 year since I’ve had alcohol. being sober curious, turned into realizing I relied on drinking to have a good time, sleep, drowned out thoughts and anxiety, fit in with social interactions. I like who I am and how I feel without it.

Also yay! I was so busy I missed my 2 months yesterday. I did 3 months last year before Christmas and our holiday so wow, 5 months in total since August! Pretty cool.
This is 100% for my mental health but also the physical benefits cannot be ignored either.

Me coming home from a concert sober. It felt weirdly lonely and calming. I’ve never been more comfortable in my own skin.

Guide to your First Month Sober: Why and How to Quit Drinking
I was living in a coma, a series of grey days that seemed to bleed into one another like a charcoal sketch left in the rain. I knew my drinking was a problem, but I had no idea that every single one of my problems were caused by alcohol...
Demystifying the First Month Sober for the Sober Curious I’m nothing short of stunned by the dramatic changes that have occurred in my life over the course of the past 5 weeks since I decided to commit to 3 months of sobriety. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to describe my first month sober to someone else in the early stages of sobriety — someone perhaps, who can’t quite bring themselves to…

It’s been a MINUTE, tumblr, but I am back and I am on a new journey.
Over the last… year and a half? I managed to cut down my drinking quite a lot and I’m proud of that. But there are patterns that I see that I don’t like and so, now, here I am. I’m excited about the possibility of living my life (very nearly) alcohol free, but the reality is it’s easy to get excited about sobriety when you’re on the couch hungover.
Now, 3 days into this journey, I’m on my way to a party that I do NOT want to go to, and I’m… nervous. I don’t really know how to feel comfortable in that environment - in fact I think that’s part of why my drinking gets out of hand sometimes. I just want to have fun, I just want to be fun, I don’t want to think or be scared or feel anxious.
And now I have to go and feign confidence WITHOUT a drink in my hand.
Wish me luck.

I’m nearing 2 years without alcohol. I’m really proud of myself & my progress. Not too long ago I couldn’t even manage going a month sober.. or even a week. The cravings still come. I still think about “what if I just break my sobriety??”
I miss getting drunk. I miss feeling buzzed right before being drunk. I miss drinking on an empty stomach and it going straight to my head. I miss feeling my face getting flushed. Being giggly and smiley. Drinking in the shower (sad but fun tbh). Drinking while cleaning the house. Social drinking. But there’s far FAR more things I don’t miss and that’s what keeps me going in my sobriety.
I don’t miss the hangxiety. Getting to the point where I would blackout no matter how much I drank. Worrying “what did I do last night?” Feeling embarrassed. Spending too much money. Literally having the gas station attendant comment on how often I would come in for beer 😬 The shakes, the nausea, the splitting headaches, chronic heartburn, the bloated tummy, the random bruises, going to work hungover, having to eat lots of greasy food the next day to feel okay, the puking, feeling guilty bc someone else always had to be the D.D.. countless other things.
What helped me quit drinking:
I didn’t even intend on quitting. It’s overwhelming to go into something like “this will be for the rest of my life” My last day drinking I decided I was just taking a break. I had a really nasty bout of heartburn that would not go away. It felt like no other time before. Like I had done permanent damage to my esophagus and I got really worried. I could barely eat bc I was worried about flaring it up worse & it also gave me such a weird full feeling for nearly a week.
If you’re feeling sober curious my best advice is go into it like I did. Slowly without a huge & intimidating goal and just see how it feels. As long as it feels good, keep going. Another huge help for me was listening to sober podcasts. My fave: Sober Powered podcast. The host’s drinking situation was similar to mine and she inspired me. She also is super smart and provides really interesting scientific data to explain what’s going on inside your body while you drink and while you quit.
If you’re thinking about taking a break or quitting, here’s the last thing I have to say:

other than my birthday party, i’ve been intentionally sober for a month and a half, and it had been the best creative period of my adult life.
it truly feels like a key has been turned. a door opened. and i didn’t expect it at all.

Reevaluating our relationship with alcohol is tricky because, as anyone who has left the house can attest, it’s everywhere. The default whether you’re at a bar, party, or social engagement is drinking. Many people who abstain are often subjected to personal questions, or perhaps an unspoken assumption that they must be dealing with an addiction.

I’m 5 years sober today! I’m so happy I realized that it was ok to stop drinking completely because it wasn’t good for me, and that I didn’t need to wait to hit “rock bottom” or for other people to decide I had a problem, that I could just stop. It’s been so good for me. I’m always happy if anyone wants to talk sobriety.

Also should note I really wanted a drink last night. I made a mocktail of grapefruit sparkling ice and diet ginger beer.
8 months of not drinking.
I really want to continue that at least until the weight is gone.

I am 60 days sober and I miss alcohol more than I would like to admit.
I think about it all the time.
Everyone says I will be happier. I like this world better drunk.

One good thing about stopping drinking: improved sleep cycle / rem sleep returning / deep restful sleep / not feeling tired waking up
The thing I didn’t realize would happen: repressed emotions bubbling to the surface / deep guttural depression / feeling every feeling ever I have ignored (yes, overall my depression and anxiety has gotten better and more manageable, but I get random waves of deep sadness that make me want to forget / drink /memories of childhood abuse etc.)
I have to finally work through it; and I’m not turning back because it’s hard
