Happy Birthday!

I too am perplexed at how lightly alcohol abuse is perceived by doctors. My GP would never bat an eye on my consumption

Or they would say: yeah maybe stop or reduce your drinking…
Like it’s no big deal. Just do it. Not asking if you need any help or anything
When somebody I know got diagnosed with cirrhosis I asked if the doctor said anything about how to phase-out: nothing. Just stop drinking. The mans liver is failing for f*cks sake

[anon68572606]

Sorry for your loss. Glad to see you holding on to the positives!

I love thinking about future me! I always clean my house before I go on vacation so that future me will be happy when I get back

[Passerina_cyanea]

Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing. Grief is a really hard feeling to deal with. Sounds like you are taking good care of your body which is great for your mental health too. Take care.

Just stop drinking. The mans liver is failing for f*cks sake

Super disheartening to hear that. I am sorry that they did not offer more support or possible ways to help his liver get healthier. Hope he is doing better now.

totally! i am prescribed Bupropion 300 mg for depression and none of my doctors told me that it’s unsafe to drink alcohol while taking that drug. even after i told them honestly about my issues with alcohol. i found out from internet searches that it’s dangerous to pair the two but just continued drinking bc my doctors never mentioned it being a health risk.

lol yeah some people refer to bars that way I always thought it was funny. This bar was the last place I drank and so I am comfortable enough to go in there and have lunch and not drink. The bartender is 5+ years sober so she’s always really encouraging and she got me the cake since she is changing jobs to a new place and won’t be there tomorrow. So we celebrated today.

I’m grateful this week feels like a work “dress rehearsal”. I’m getting lots of stuff done that doesn’t get done when things are full throttle. I’m grateful for this time, to catch up on admin-y stuff, plan ahead, at a pace and cadence that is manageable and healthy.

I’m grateful I did make some resolutions - mostly around time management, not so I can do more, but get more sleep. Oh, and meal plan better. Sure, for health, but I realized I was wasting food last year, being too busy to plan ahead, and I HATE doing that. It’s expensive and irresponsible.
I’m grateful I buy healthy food instead of bottles and bottles of wine. Eff that.

I’m grateful to see so much activity on the thread!
@Pinkeuphoria, congrats on 45 days!
Well done @Hopeful32 and @choosingme on hitting up some meetings.
364 @Jwfletcher4792 - huge congrats!

And @acromouse, I’m sorry for your loss. Well done on facing your feelings instead of numbing them.

I’m grateful I’m gonna go get me some of that sleep here soon!

I’m grateful for another day.

[M-be-free49]

69 years old AND 175 days AFAF today!

I’m not missing out on this!

Way to go, @Pattycake! Happiest of birthdays to you!

I’m super grateful for your presence in this place.

I’m grateful for hope, wisdom, courage, commitment, gratitude and mindfulness

I am grateful that I am caring for myself and my future…

[Pattycake]

Aww, that’s sweet! Thank you!

Congratulations on your One Year @Jwfletcher4792

@Pattycake Happy Year to you!

@acromouse I’m so sorry. So hard. Thinking about you during this sad time.

Best wishes for 2024 to everyone one day at a time.

I am grateful today for:

• cleaning the house is so much more fun listening to waltz
• a good few belly laughs with my coworkers
• my positiv outlook on 2024
• the people in my life
• no hangovers and feeling shame and guilt due to the night before
• the strong coffee with my breakfast
• happy birthdays @Pattycake
• balance

I am grateful for being 1 day sober again and my anxiety easing a little and I am grateful for the support from here. I’m looking forward to getting back to my hobbies again
