Sobriety looks great on ya Jenn.
Congrats on 99 days.
I was always so pissed off I couldnā€™t drink anymore. I always put my gangsta rap, my ā€œangryā€ playlist and power angry walk my ass off. Me and Eminem spent a lot of time together in my head. Iā€™m not pissed off any more. It feels great. And I can always drive with zero alcohol in my system.
Stick around the support here is great.

Thank you!!! Yeah definitely felt the resentment and anger this time. It wonā€™t stop me from trying another vacation down the road though. You make me feel very much less alone and ā€œweirdā€. Thank you!

Thank you dear. :blush: I guess Fairy pixies doesnā€™t age. Well joke aside my grandmother always looked very youthful, my aunt claims that Iā€™m a copy of her. My uncle says itā€™s my energy and curiosity because itā€™s equal to a childā€™s. And my husband says itā€™s because Iā€™m short. So I guess Iā€™m just lucky. :joy::four_leaf_clover:

Thank you so much. That mini Me boy is an exact copy of his Pa. Heā€™s got nothing from me except probably his need for adventure and foodie trait. :joy: But the looks is all Pa.

You went to the gym not being sober??

I used to all the time when I was abusing adderall :confused: Drink at night, then a solid dose of the olā€™ amphetamine salts in the morning. Off to the gym not long after.

Back then, taking a 4-5x dose of adderall was the only way I could get to the gym in the morning after a night of drinking. Hell even on a non-hangover day Iā€™d do it. It took a month or so to adjust to lifting without it. Amphetamine abuse actually can contribute to muscle breakdown, so between that and the drinking ā€“ I was really working against myself.

Super dangerous, too. One of many reasons Iā€™m surprised I never had any cardiac damage from my past dumbassery.

Iā€™m probably naĆÆve and it happens more than I think. I never considered going if I was buzzed.

Thatā€™s why adderall abuse was such a slippery thing for me, at least. It was a very functional high. Working, lifting, manual labor, driving, social events, whatever. It made it all ā€œeasierā€. That is, until you get to the point where your jaw is clenched shut, you rely on gin and vodka to fall asleep, you get palpitations, and youā€™re sweating through your shirt in winter time while doing nothing. Itā€™s hellish once the euphoria no longer happens and youā€™re just left with the unpleasant effects of the stimulant.

No way I could go lifting drunk. Or, for example, thereā€™s always a few people in my gym who smell like they just had a blunt before they came in. Lifting stoned sounds like a nightmare to me, lol.

Yes!!!

The first time i quit drinking I went to Ocean City with some friends and they were ordering drinks and Iā€™m drinking soda or virgin cocktails,

It pissed me off,

This time around I avoided the situation at first, but now I see a bunch of obnoxious drunks around me and Iā€™m thinking, fuck that was me??? Damn
