I’m not meant to drink, but after the few days I’ve had I’m definitely at the bar tonight

I occasionally have a beer or two. Nothing crazy. Although, I have been using a lot of whiskey lately for tooth pain.

The only two stores in town that sold beer both closed. If I want alcohol I’ve got to hitch hike six or seven miles to the nearest store that sells it.

I’ve been sober for the past ten years. However I might take the odd single shot of whisky once in a while. I don’t think it is any good to drink with the APs.

I’ve been meaning to ask you how long you’ve been sober

I’m 11 days sober, you’re 11 days to one year.

What a coincidence!

But tomorrow you’ll be 10 days away and I’ll be 12 days sober…so we’re going in opposite directions :cry:

No not anymore, due to meds. It can cause symptoms. Not even a little. Not even once in a while. Why take that kind of risk. It will cause problems in the long run. And in the mean time the goal is to be symptom free.

I drink 1-2 times a week. When that happens i drink a 1L bottle of red wine and enjoy the music or a conversation with my gf. Sometimes i drink 1 beer after a stressful work. It helps. It relaxes me and make me enjoy things. I like to be sober too. And i like to drink too. I enjoy it both. Im not an alcoholic i can stop, but i need to “unplug” myself after a stressful week thats why i drink.

Also alcohol helped me get trough my darkest times. When i was bullied and i was bullied a lot at various workplaces ( not at the current workplace) and at school and this happened way before i got ill and alcohol helped me with that it eased my pain and made me forget about that, at least for the time i was drunk.

I like to give myself this treat to enjoy a little :slight_smile: And life without alcohol isnt bad either, you just need to be positive, alcohol just enhances all that :slight_smile:
