I understand the FOMO.
It’s the point of FOMO that you truly become in the danger zone. You are off to a great start when you chose not to miss out cause your not missing out on the dark fun.
Dark fun is when your mind shuts down and even bad things are funny.
Healing your body will come in time. You won’t FOMO the bad stuff
And then when your healthy you will realize your FOMO will be about good stuff
There will be a time when you won’t miss out on anything and your remember good stuff
Sorry man, I think you think you’re smarter than those that came before you.
You show an arrogance to your success in sobriety.
I wish you all the best, and hope you are successful, but believe you just like playing with fire until you relapse.
Your either in to abstain and remove yourself from these scenarios or you aren’t. You aren’t going to long term succeed with the trajectory you keep putting yourself on.
Apologies everyone for the bluntness, I’m just calling it as I see it.
Thanks homies, I really appreciate you guys for not abandoning me over my stupid mistakes, so many people in the past abandoned me due to my addiction
And @Steve14 honestly you’re 100% right, nothing good came out of last night. I regret it fully. I wish I just stayed home and worked out and saw my sponsor and whatnot. I’ll keep this in mind for next time I get that FOMO.
Also, I need to be honest about something, I also bought some random dude’s sketchy ass ecstasy pill last night and took it that night during my drunkenness. It was pretty scary to be honest, I could’ve ended up dead. I really regret last night, NOTHING good came out of it
I PROMISE you guys I’m going to be better than this. I’ve proven to myself time and time again that nothing good comes out of partying
Im actually saved £400 ($498) in 35 days quitting smoking & alcohol
You show an arrogance to your success in sobriety.
Not sure that I understand the arrogance part. I wanna correct this, what’s making me seem arrogant exactly?
Your either in to abstain and remove yourself from these scenarios or you aren’t. You aren’t going to long term succeed with the trajectory you keep putting yourself on.
Apologies everyone for the bluntness, I’m just calling it as I see it.
I agree, I promise you I’m going to be better than this. I’m sorry homie, I’m trying to do this sobriety thing but it’s so much to navigate and change in the way I think
It’s a lie, the FOMO. The people at the bar are there to abuse substances, not be friends. It’s superficial, the friendship part.
This is life or death for us. You’re not missing anything. Sober people are everywhere, if you look for them. You deserve a healthy life with healthy people. I think you do, but do you think so? Please don’t risk your life.

Don’t worry about abandonment issues. Go make new friends to keep sober. Stop putting

Pills in you
Next thing you know some random dude is gonna have you in his autopsy table.
Stay connected here. If you get invited to this kinds of parties anymore just do your best and say pass. Get ON THIS APP and get plugged in.
Just do your best for you. And tell us how the day is going to be better
The arrogance is that you believe you can go out to these places and abstain. That you know better than many many came before you.
You are either focused on sobriety or not. I totally understand that people relapse, trust me, I have lots, but when I am working on sobriety I don’t intentionally put myself in situations to fail…
But hey, your monkey, your circus my friend.
See… if you’re drunk enough to take ecstasy from a source you don’t know well, I’d suggest that alcohol might end up being an issue for you in life. It’s classic risk seeking behaviour.
One DOC can easily replace another, especially if you don’t address the issues that are causing the addiction in the first place. Worse, they can compound each other.
I agree with you, I don’t know better than veteran members here. You’re right, maybe I do have some arrogance or at least I don’t listen to people enough sometimes
I swear on it, this is stopping now: That's it, I'm declaring right now that I am not going to party, no matter the FOMO
Thank you Jasmine. I appreciate your support.
I’ve got my path of relapses as well.
This time around I’ve learnt something new,you either want to stay sober or you don’t.
There’s no golden middle way here. You can’t have both,you can’t be just a little sober. It’s all or nothing.
That’s a start.
That’s easy to say.
But remember, many of us have started right where you are
So very true! I quit and drank again many times until I got serious and put sobriety above everything else. Nothing changes if nothing changes!
That’s the point I hope the young fella gets…
Alright, I understand this now. I can’t keep flip flopping between sobriety and the party scene. I’m choosing sobriety from now on.
Right now, I’m gonna consider myself day #1 again. I need to revise what I’ve learned and do better. I don’t deserve to say that I’m day #19 sober. I feel like such a failure today
But watch me as I rack up more truly sober days. I’m sick of partying.
Hey everyone, this is a mid day check in on my day 99.
Funny enough I rarely ever get sick and today I feel just like I did on day 1 on Jan 6. Aches, pains, just crap and it’s making me a tad short so apologies if I come across that way.
Not the way I wished to cross the threshold of double into triple digits, but what can you do?
Be well everyone, and remember failing to plan is planning to fail. Don’t go into situations without your plan.
I get it. Hoping you can get some rest and feel better quickly!
Checking in again at day 6.5.
Had my lip piercings upgraded! They look rad. They represent fire and earth, my astrological signs.
And I like triangles, as a mathematician
Have a good evening all
It was a very good idea, Sophia! I think I might like the Swedish ones better, though I would eat either . Thanks for your stories each day- I look forward to reading them! You’re a great storyteller.
