just worked it out, it's 74 days to inauguration day. 70+ days sober is a really solid base.
2 days sober now and it's rough, especially with the election results (terrible time to quit LOL).
Flipping the narrative: if you can get a solid stint of sobriety now, you'll be in good shape come January and whatever comes after that.
There will never be the perfect time to quit, it's why my sobriety anniversary is a random day in May, I decided "if not now, when?"
We are here to support you in not drinking, today or any other day. However, in order to keep this board a safe space for those who have chosen not to drink, I am asking you to be mindful of our rule that if you have been drinking, you come back when you are sober (have abstained from alcohol for at least the last 12 hours).
Solidarity to all struggling today.
oh, that's a shame. We're glad to have you back though.
Do you know why you snapped? Do you think you could think about what got you there?
I'm so sorry you're going through this - I really hope you can get some effective treatment.
Excellent, good luck!
I've never smoked weed (it's not legal where I am, and aside from that, I don't like the smell so it's never appealed), but the advice I've seen about quitting has been to just focus on one thing at a time, especially in the early days. Don't be all "I'm going to quit drinking and start eating healthily and exercise more and lose weight and give up weed and clean the house and read Improving Books for half an hour a day and" that way lies overwhelm, disaster and woe.
Welcome, we're glad to have you here.
