Sobriety. 2 years 3 months since I've drank.
Still relearning some aspects of being an adult. Figuring out who I am. Picking up old hobbies again and trying new ones. So many things bring me joy nowadays where it used to only be alcohol that triggered the ol happy brain chemicals.
I'm in a much better place than I was a couple years ago when I was abusing alcohol as a coping mechanism.
I won't drink with y'all today.
And I'll try to check in here more often. I'm on the stopdrinking subreddit a fair amount, it was crucial to me making it as long as I have and it's the main reason I still use reddit. But, I need to remember to help foster this community too
The sand tiger shark also doesn't have a drink... So it also captures how I feel on first dates as a recovering alcoholic
Well you can't just say that and not give me a link, you've piqued my curiosity
I was wondering how many of my Denver neighbors were on lemmy. This is not the way I wanted to find them...
I'm about to lose mine in a few weeks because I'm moving :( I'm at a point where we were going to be cutting back and stopping soon, but still... If something pops up and I need more, will have to find a new one
Ooh that one is good. They also make one called Cayenne Cleanse that I love, it scratches my itch for spicy margaritas. Damn now I want a spicy marg (just the flavor, don't want to be drunk)... Off to find a kombucha haha
I used an app called HabitShare. You can link it with an accountability buddy (if you want to, you don't have to share it with anyone to use it) and track whatever habits you want on a daily/weekly basis
Therapy and gym are my big ones lately.
There was a reason I was trying to numb myself with alcohol so often, definitely needed some therapy to address those core issues.
Gym is a mixed bag for me. I used to have some pretty bad body image issues despite being pretty darn fit. Trying to get back into the gym with a "I'm doing this for long term health" mindset instead of my college era mindset of "MUST LIFT HEAVY, MUST GET BUFF" which led to injuries on more than one occasion. Still working on that. But sometimes the old mindset creeps in and I do stuff I could manage at 21, but shouldn't be doing at 31. Tweaked my back last week picking up some heavy dumbbells with poor form. Yay...
Trying to learn to be nice to myself and do things that are good for me in the long term. It's a work in progress
The reddit version of this community was super helpful in my journey. I don't really check in daily as much any more, but I'll be around :)
Some actress with boobs. I know her from White Lotus. No idea on the ending wokeness part because I don't follow the lives of celebrities outside of checking IMDB to see what else they've been in.
Edit: I tried to look into it a bit. Something about the fact that a conventionally attractive young woman with nice breasts is gaining popularity means it's an end to all the body positivity and other wokeness? Idk, I'm not doing more than 5 minutes of looking into it
I also saw that her grandma has seen her nude scenes and said "she has the best tits in Hollywood" and that's just hilarious
