"Going dry" from alcohol?
Alcohol & Drug Addiction Support / by pinkBlueberry89

...See more A lot of the common advice about quitting alcohol is that you have to quit drinking forever. I find that aspect daunting (forever is a long time), but I've talked to other people who have had success with going dry for a predetermined amount of time (a month, six months, a year etc). Then at the end they have the opportunity to reassess if they want to try drinking in a healthier way, or continue to go dry. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about this? Knowing my own brain, I feel like it would be easier for me to have 60 dry years running rather than one big commitment to quit forever.
Picking fights and regretting them later

...See more Does anyone else have this problem? I picked a nasty fight over the weekend that I regretted soon after, and I apologized (and they accepted), but I definitely damaged the relationship and I don't know if I will ever be able to fully repair it. This person means a lot to me and I think I mean (or meant) something to them. I feel like a real dumb a#####e. I could probably cross post this to addiction since ofc I was drunk and on caffeine when I did this dumb s##t. I think I'm going to pour all that stuff down the sink and go dry for a little while. :|
