What to do when your mother basically says don’t stop drinking for so long that you go on a big binge and how likely is it you can stick to not drinking? Not helpful but perhaps a reflection of their own daily drinking.

Hey guys!
Checking in. It’s early morning where I am in Australia, lightly raining. My mind has been all over the place lately but I’m sober, maturing and on track (whatever that means, at least I feel like it). I embrace this crazy existence, odaat… 
Hope you have a wonderful, productive, mindful and sober day or night whoever and wherever you are right now fam!

Day 12 but unhelpful comments have led to urges. Not giving in

Don’t let those comments discourage you. You are doing great and some people in our lives don’t want to see it or are aren’t ready to see us succeed (even our loved ones at times). You just keep putting your best foot forward and beating those urges ODAAT

Day 19 check in. 3 weeks’ approaching again!
Day 2 of Invisalign braces. It’s an expensive option but I can highly recommend Invisalign as both a weight loss AND alcohol avoidance tool. Consider these facts:
-
having your teeth shrink wrapped in plastic which is designed to ever so slightly move your teeth around is both distracting AND low level uncomfortable. All the time. Has really stopped me thinking about alcohol because I’m constantly annoyed by my teeth.
-
you cannot eat or drink anything (other than water) with Invisalign in because if you do it either stains or warps them. And they cost you a lot of money, so you don’t want to do that. If you do eat or drink with them in it also leads to rapid tooth decay as the stuff gets trapped between your teeth and the shields.
-
once you DO lever the aligners out of your mouth, the little ridges glued to your teeth to keep the aligners in are so unpleasant to the tongue (feels like you haven’t cleaned your teeth in weeks) that you want to put them straight back in again.
-
eating anything relatively hard is uncomfortable because your teeth are being moved in your gums, so whichever ones are being moved at the time are sore when you chew. It is difficult to gain weight eating soup and mushy things.
So there you have it… with luck in 6 months’ time I will be 6 months and 19 days sober, 30lbs lighter and have straight teeth.
