I’m working on me. After 25 years it’s about fucking time. Ended a relationship recently not only because of our drinking but because I need time to heal. I just turned 44, divorced twice and bounced from boyfriend to boyfriend, the longest I’ve been single was maybe 2 mths. I’m getting sober and falling in love with me, for once. Besides, I’ve nothing left to give anyone, I’m on E. Today is 11 days without a drink, I slowly feel like I’m regaining my sanity.

Fortunately I have a strong resolve and she is being supportive of my decision and we communicate well. It's been challenging at times while figuring out how to communicate some of the difficulties from both of our perspectives as I go down the sobriety path but the more we speak up about it the more we understand each other.

Just about 4 months in. I would say a combination of 1 & 2. However I find having a partner/wife who drinks while I am Sober has not been an issue and she has actually cut back because of my Sobriety. On the number 2 side of things my Sobriety has created a "Disturbance In The Force" for our relationship and actually my relationship with other family members/friends. Sometimes I feel the Non Sober Version of me is what my partner and family members preferred. Quite frankly I had been consuming booze and weed for so long that most people never knew me any other way. I understand that we all play a role in each others lives and we also assign other people to play roles in our lives. I guess with my Sobriety, I am not playing my assigned role anymore. That being said, I am liking the new version of me that is emerging.

I'm working on me first. I met my wife while I was actively using. Proposed to her while drunk. Married her while drunk. Put her through hell the last 2+ years. Now, im learning how to navigate life again sober. Learning how to be a human being again. She has decided to stick by me but I told her I'm doing this for me, im getting healthy again for me. It still may not work out. We might decide we don't like each other sober or that we're incompatible sober. But i can't worry about that right now. Right now it's about me. My health my journey. And if your significant other really loves you they will understand and accept the outcome no matter where the chips fall.

I wouldn’t want to sell someone a house I knew still had some faulty wiring, and I don’t want to take on someone else’s needs and wants when I’m still trying to figure out my own.

I’m working on me first! Today is 6 months sober. Interesting and dangerous are the desires to just-have-one lately in my journey. Seemingly out of the blue the desire will approach me. Two days ago it was born out of a desire to re-enjoy a unique bar (with signed and donated dollar bills tacked to the entire ceiling) with my wife of 35.5 years. Got to remember: Those days are gone. While most the time I seem to be coasting through sobriety, it’s the suddenness of temptations that jolt me. So I have to re-iterate to myself why I am on the sobriety train and not the de-railing life habits I once unquestioningly accepted. Thank you Jae for your sincere efforts to help so many help themselves.

My boyfriend had been court ordered to go to treatment (Dui) So, this break has now put me in category 4. I'm working on me, in counseling, CoDA, and learning orher self help tools. I'm living me first, and working on health as well. I truly don't know if we will stay together once he is done with treatment, because he didn't really want to quit even though he knew he needed to.( his words, not mine) i just keep working on me and praying. The Universe knows what best for us. Good luck to everyone working on them selves. It's the most rewarding thing we can do and most loving.

Did alcohol help the situation? You can always learn from these situations so you can make a better choice next time. Don't beat yourself up. Just get back to it, you can do this!

Thanks. Will dust myself down and get on with sobriety. I’m so much happier when I don’t drink.

Even when I am drinking I work on myself everyday but realise how drinking just slows the process down, blocks moving forward especially when dealing life changing events. So I felt like it was just a waste of time but it is drinking that is the waste of time. Day 2.

It changes colors like the last setup did. 4 different lights. I just had them all on purple.

Bro I love how you express the fact that people fall in love with other people while they're intoxicated because that happened with me one time with my ex. Well it was with opiates but still that really twists your mind a lot especially with opiates, and I remember when I got sober I didn't see her the same way anymore. And it wasn't a negative mean way it was just in a way that I would not have went with what I decided if I was sober at that time. Or in general but yeah I love how you bring that up because that's something that's so overlooked and people deny it❤

I'm happy to be of service!! I actually need your help too!! I just tried to replace my bathroom sink faucet and the old angle stop wasn't one that you could just take the hose off and replace, the whole assembly needed to come off. long story short, when I put the new angle stops on and turn the water main back on they were leaking. I figured that it might have been because of the compression sleeve so I got a sleeve puller tool to remove the compression nuts and the sleeve. But when I did that whole process, the compression sleeve somehow compressed the copper piping and now it's smaller and diameter. is this common???? It seemed like it would be a pretty straightforward process to remove that sleeve. the copper piping only comes out of the wall about 2 and 1/2 in, and now about an inch of that has been compressed because of this ring sleeve. I'm worried that's the plumber's going to have to come in. cut all that piping out in tear open the wall. If you can, can you please email me at GettingSoberAgain@gmail.com

@@TheHatandBeardShow that's what it's all about. I always hated when my family, friends, or peers kept their emotions and thoughts to themselves. That kind of behavior makes us all feel isolated and crazy. I knew that if I felt that way then there was a shitload of people out there that felt the same way too. I'm glad to know that these videos are really resonating with you and a larger audience because frankly, I'm trying to be what I didn't have in my own sobriety. Thank you for your support!

Back at ya Matt!

I'm partly point 2 and 3, I can't say I'm just one or the other, I'm currently sober and I feel I can't communicate with people around me, but I also was the toxic one and that hurt myself and the person I loved a lot, it makes getting sober truly difficult, I put myself here. And I put way to much pressure on myself due to both and I'm currently struggling with both.

I like to time travel in my own head. You can easily picture the future, with heartache and sorrow. with missed opportunities, regret, pain, trauma, neglect. With missed birthdays, visitation on weekends, and maybe nobody by your side when you take your final breath other than nurse being paid to flip the bed to get another patient in... Or you can imagine that what you're doing, right now, is in the entirely opposite direction on your very long line of life's existence. Now... go give the gift of being present. Play with your daughter. Stay up past her bedtime. Live today like you had a time machine and instead of being on your final death bed, you're back here right now today. make it count. add it up. that's real wealth 🧘

Bro even though I was a recovering opiate addict, your channel helped me to get clean. I did go on a little binge with drinking for a couple of months like I said taking four shots or so at night, yeah I did maintain my diet and the whole hydration lemon water and everything, but at the same time that was because I was already doing that in my recovery. But your videos always helped me. Question you weren't on any medications when you stopped did you have any withdrawal? If so how long did it take you to feel any symptoms and were they severe? Also how did you deal with that anxiety when you were done? It's similar to when you get off opiates as well the anxieties always that killer😢

@GettingSoberAgain

4 ай бұрын

I think everyone has anxiety when they attempt anything they aren't used to. Especially when it has to deal with a chemical imbalance. I was not medicated. I was fortunate in that I didn't have severe symptoms. I always ate healthy, took vitamins and supplements, hydrated, daily exercise, etc. I was more of a problem drinker. I just wanted to get as drunk as I could without blacking out. Sometimes I would use a little helper to keep me stimulated if you catch my drift ⛷️
