It’s Friday, Sober Family!! What does everyone have planned for the weekend? If you are stuck barhopping tonight, one tip is to order club soda and cranberry juice in a rocks glass. Honestly no one is looking at your drink anyway, they are too focused on drinking themselves!
What tips can you offer for those having their first sober Friday?
i got a one braincell orange boi the size of a house cause mum won’t stop giving him treats and I love him just as much but I know they’re in good hands at my parents house. the withdrawals are long gone but they’re still loading me up with diaz and seroquel so I’ve been zombie mode wet brain. I’ve been recommended this naked mind many times I’ll bite the bullet and have a crack. shit I haven’t read a book in 20 years. hey btw thanks so much for hosting and being so active replying to everyone here, you’re a saint. much appreciation from Australia, where it feels like drinking is mandatory. shit drug. not even in the top ten.
I am bipolar too and staying sober and letting the meds doing the work has been enlightening. I never realized how bad the interaction can be.
i got adhd and bpd and drinking and smoking weed seemed to be the only thing that stopped or slowed down the tornado of thoughts. can’t wait for my body to get used to the seroquel, shit yesterday it had me so seasick I collapsed and couldn’t reach the staff assist button, was stuck there for 45 minutes holding onto to the earth for dear life and then the fkn fire alarm goes off. i was like WELP it’s been real peace out homies. thank satan it was a false alarm and a nurse found me and gave me something like phenergan and within 15mins I was up and about feeling fine. bizarre morning. plus the most effed up nightmares about CSA trauma every night but I got a lil lucid the other night and pulled out a glock and turned him into swiss cheese. sorry for the word vomit it feels good to write down and wrap my head around what’s going on
The other problem is drinking stops the thoughts got maybe a hour? Then you gotta drink more to keep it up. It took several years to find the right “cocktail” for me. Geodon saved my life.
Oh that’s right the other BPD. 😁 still let the meds do the work. Seroquel is some hard stuff. I took it for a few months to sleep and the sleep hangover in the morning was AWFUL.
