  • Happy belated birthday! I relate with you on the finding any excuse to drink. When I finally gave it up, most of what I did ultimately served my need to consume alcohol. I had to reprogram my entire way of thinking too because it was my sole motivation for everything. Life is about more than that.



  • Congrats on the 3 weeks. That’s huge! It sounds like you want to change your life and have taken steps to do it. That is huge and I’m proud of you.

    The things you are feeling are normal and something I can relate to. Navigating a life that I built for myself that is surrounded by alcohol was and is one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. I personally had to take a lot of my time and prioritize my sobriety before I was ready for social gatherings again. Your milage may vary. That said, once i did go to a party, I realized most people had no clue I wasn’t drinking. I was much more self conscious about the fact. I would bring NA beer with me or Seltzer and most people wouldn’t ask or care what I was drinking.

    Good luck on your journey and I hope you have a kick ass halloween!

But that’s just one vector and if an attacker has compromised the server, there are a number of attack vectors they could take.







  • Sorry I’m a little late. I just joined this community and there aren’t too many posts yet. I hope you’re still doing well!

    That is huge getting the first good night of sleep after you haven’t in a while. I can say from personal experience that it was a real struggle to get much sleep at all while I was detoxing from alcohol. Probably around 2 weeks before I started getting some good rest at night. Using alcohol as a sleep aid was one of my many excuses to poison myself throughout my twenties, so when I no longer had it, I also had to figure out how to get to sleep like a normal person. Thankfully, it was simple for me: just keep not drinking and sleep will come easily. Now-a-days I still don’t get enough sleep, but its not because I’m up late getting wasted, its because I’m up late playing video games. I’ve been a night person since I was young though, so it really isn’t much different from before I started drinking either.
