Lost track

Irishman · June 11, 2021, 6:18pm

Lost track of how many times I’ve reset. But I’m not giving up yet. I know I need to stop drinking and I know it’s not like flipping a switch.

What kind of things are you doing to enhance and maintain sobriety?

Pea · June 11, 2021, 6:27pm

I am the same , but this time I feel yoga ( Dan tain ) and meditation is really helping to keep me in the moment

Drinking seltzer water and not thinking about alcohol. Exercising. It doesn’t help that my wife drinks most nights. And when I see her drink….

Ever think about a program of recovery? One saved my life

Not for me. Assuming you mean AA. I don’t believe in God and I’m told that there’s believe in God in AA.

Plenty of people in AA who don’t believe in God. @Mephistopheles is my go to for this

I don’t believe in God and go to AA.

Thirdmonkey · June 11, 2021, 9:54pm

A lot of other things than AA…

Folks…I didn’t mean to offend anyone by saying I don’t believe in God. I absolutely respect other people’s beliefs. And if it works for you then that’s fine.

Englishd · June 11, 2021, 10:29pm

Plenty of people don’t believe in God. I don’t think you offended anyone

Matt · June 11, 2021, 10:33pm

You didn’t offend anyone. Working sobriety is very much about recognizing you can’t control others, you can’t control most things in life. You can’t control what’s gonna happen in the weather - in other peoples choices - all you can do is walk sympathetically and supportively beside them.

So - what do you want? What sort of problems have you been seeing from your drinking?
