Congrats on her sobriety!

I never had an alcohol problem but I've been sober from drugs and alcohol completely for 6 months now and I'm happy about it. Law school was a really toxic place where alcoholism and drug use was super normalized and not a pleasant environment for me. Now I'm embracing the joy of fun little mocktails lol

Congratulations!

That’s incredible! Im so proud of you.

yes law school was terrible for my relationship with alcohol. after i graduated i started dating & socializing more with non-lawyers and felt like i had to completely re-learn how to drink. if i could do it again i would have totally abstained from alcohol all 3 years.

Getting blackout drunk at 12 is crazy. I wonder if her parents are alcoholics too.

You would be surprised at how many kids of my generation were going hard like that. I went to school with kids who were full on addicts by Freshman and Sophomore year.

i still remember how many kids were drinking vodka out of water bottles and selling/buying pills in high school- i come from a family of heavy drinkers but even that really shook high school me lol

Good for her. Sobriety is so important especially I know it’s crazy timing considering the current climate we’re in. So keep going at it

ever since developing heartburn this year (🥴) i can't really drink much (and i don't feel well after i do), but i've gotten into weed and i think, for now, that's a better non-sober act for me at my age

[readmymiind]

i've had heartburn since i was like 14 but when i was like 20-21 i started getting pills with me every time i went out to keep drinking even if i got heartburn :(

[semalina]

there's a direct link between my heartburn and depressive episodes, so if i don't want to feel physically AND emotionally miserable, i have to be mindful of what and how much i drink 😣

fortunately, weed doesn't impact me this way. just good time vibes and maybe a puffy face in the morning lol

i don't call myself sober but i've been abstaining from alcohol a lot. my goal has just been to change my habits so that my default setting is not drinking.

like tuesday i went to a halloween party knowing that on wednesday i had a ton to do including getting up really early. and a few years ago my thought process would have been "okay how do i avoid getting hungover so that tomorrow isn't miserable" or "how do i push through all this stuff i gotta do with a hangover." but when i was actually at the party i thought about having an alcoholic drink then just immediately thought about how miserable it'd be to be hungover the next day and put it back down.
