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

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.

I am grateful sobriety gives my so much clearity. If I look back things would have been so different if I had drank. I’d probably would have layed in bed half of the month recovering from a hangover.
I am grateful to have started this road to recovery years ago. Although I was only ‘sober curious’ in the beginning and had quite a number of relapses, I eventually shifted towards longing for a sober life. I am so grateful to have found this forum, it’s the one place I come back to.
I am grateful that I can remember the last month. I am grateful that my memory and focus will get better over time. I am grateful for the energy I’m regaining. I am so grateful to be sober!
I am grateful for yesterday. I am grateful for today. Although the weather is shit and I have to work, I am grateful to be here.
I am grateful for getting back to a healthy routine. Going to bed early and waking up early is my default mode. I always thought I was a night owl, but it was just because of the booze I drank at night.
I am grateful I didn’t go to Dublin with my friends for NYE, as they got drunk everyday and are still recovering from it.
I am also grateful not to be in Thailand this winter (never thought I would ever say that).
My last stay there was fueled with alcohol. I’m still in contact with some people there and nothing changed… it’s not a healthy environment for someone in recovery.
So yeah, pretty damn grateful today.
Have a good one!
