Two weeks sober, thoughts and observations
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 19th, 2025 9:31 AM Author: iridescent aromatic roommate Not once did I “need” alcohol. The pull was mainly that I was bored/lonely and wanted to go out to interact with people (I go to the same places where the staff and patrons know me and talk to me). So I went out and drank some NA beers (this confused my bartenders but they were cool about it). Previously, starting at lent, I gave up hard liquor (mostly) and was drinking beer which, frankly, did not do a whole lot for me as far as feeling anything close to a buzz. More like it was something to do that was not work to relax. Comparing my experience to others I know who would try to stop, I consider myself pretty lucky. During these two weeks I had some pretty great things and a not so great thing happen and I did not drink, or really feel any need to. I credit diet, exercise, vitamins, and our Lord and Savior for the calm. I don’t think I will drink until I hit my weight and fitness goals, but rather do a sober summer. It reinforces my view that I am not an alcoholic insofar as I am dependent on it, but rather I am a drunk who likes to drink.
PS NA beer tastes better and is fewer calories than actual beer. I had never tried it before. |

|
Date: June 19th, 2025 10:19 AM Author: Judgmental Alpha It isn’t a psychological thing. It’s a physical thing. Your brain literally creates new receptors to deal with nicotine intake and when the nicotine is removed those receptors start screaming. But there is a range in intensity as to how many receptors a brain will create.
Again, you are assuming your biology is universal for everyone.
Also it makes a big difference how much you are taking. I was powering through like 30 zyn pouches a day.
I have quit btw |
|
Date: June 19th, 2025 10:26 AM Author: sienna geriatric site to be clear, there obviously is a physiological component to it since you're stopping an addictive substance, which is why i had intense cravings for days. but the psychological component can't be ignored; if you don't want to quit or think it's impossible to quit, you're probably not going to succeed. if you understand and accept that it is possible, but that it will be uncomfortable for up to a week and commit to powering through it, you can succeed. acknowledging the health benefits of quitting can help, too.

|
Date: June 19th, 2025 10:58 AM Author: Judgmental Alpha Not all addictive substances cause physical dependence in the way that nicotine does. There’s a reason why some drugs are categorized as causing physical dependence. You don’t seem to appreciate this point.
You are also arguing against a point I haven’t made, I never said it was impossible to succeed or that psychology doesn’t matter. Obviously it does. |

Date: June 27th, 2025 6:36 PM Author: iridescent aromatic roommate Three week update. Last Sunday I really wanted to drink as Sunday night is my preferred drinking night and things were shit all around in my life. I did not drink.
What I have learned, drinking NA beer is a fine excuse to sit at a bar and no one seems to care (or notice) but it’s still wasted calories. I have found the athletic golden to be my preferred beer (45 calories, gluten free). I need to try the athletic lite (25 calories) but I have not seen it at a bar.
I did not lose a pound (still 195) but somehow lost a notch on my belt. Maybe it’s muscle gain and water retention from creatine? Maybe I need to take a shit (probably). Ordered a cheap bench so I can do some more exercises with my dumbbells. Been walking around now that it’s not 99 degrees out.
I have done so much work around the house. Basically I would say fuck it and go out as opposed to doing chores and repairs.
Anyway, sobriety, no porn, crazy diet (sub 1000 calories of veggies and lean protein) is BORING. I will probably go on a bender soon. PS quitting nicotine is impossible. |

Date: June 27th, 2025 7:05 PM Author: bearded forum partner It's not BORING. Your brain is interpreting what you're feeling as that, but it's really a different set of feelings from being stuck in a boring movie/lecture/etc. You have to give your dopamine system more time to adjust and re-sensitize itself. At least 6-12 months, probably 2-3 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740383&forum_id=2#49054973) |

Date: July 3rd, 2025 3:26 PM Author: iridescent aromatic roommate Had one drink last night with GFHMA, she had three (two at an event earlier, one with me). It was chill. No drama, no craziness, great to connect spiritually and emotionally. Still deciding on bender or not this weekend …. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5740383&forum_id=2#49069603) |

Date: August 2nd, 2025 3:52 AM Author: iridescent aromatic roommate Six or so week update. GFHMA has not been drunk since we started this and I only drink when she and I are together. We had four drinks each and then called it a night. I started out saying I drink too often and you drink too much. It was a tough conversation but I think it was good for both of us. No sense in quitting drinking entirely (although I am not opposed to it), but rather to keep it in check. Cue the AA crowd about one is too many.
