NV I commend you for your bravery in taking this head on. Hardly any consolation but the urge you are trying to fight off is probably the strongest yesterday/today/tomorrow. That will get easier. A lot of the other stuff won't, but at least that will. No more shaking hands etc.
Was wondering, this may sound daft, but since it's so difficult to figure out just what to do and how to get through the day: do you have a bath? And do you enjoy bathing? I've found during those hard times of 'how do I get by, what do I do?' taking a bath is both soothing and relaxing, and also before you know it an hour or more has gone by. Which, sometimes, is just what you want, for time to go by without any fuss.
Apols in advance for if you don't have a bath :-/
You're doing a great job. Your last drink was on Monday. It's already Thursday! That's huge man <3

More of a shower guy tbh :)
Baths are too faffy for me usually whereas throwing myself under the shower has been one bit of self-care I can do most days
I stuffed myself with random food which has accumulated cos of my depleted appetite, that seems to have done a job. I'm just letting the apathy wash over me for a bit now cos at least apathy means not wanting a drink
Ooh and there's a cool spider spinning a web outside my back window. Brb

What are your thoughts on kittens?
― gyac, Thursday, 12 September 2019 10:48 (four years ago) link
I am very much in favour of the restorative effects of baths myself, like my dad I can spend hours in there. I have a Bluetooth speaker on the wall in there so can listen to music or podcasts either in bath or while cleaning bathroom.
― gyac, Thursday, 12 September 2019 10:51 (four years ago) link
Never had a bathroom that felt cosy enough, think that's why I go for the blast and scrub and away routine
I like all animals well enough but I must admit I don't enjoy the bitiness of kittens. My brother and sister in law are big cat people, they used to have one in particular that just would not leave your damn toes alone when you were there

oh my god there is so much work in that department i couldn't afford the fucker and to be honest i don't think there's any new loosening, just a vaguely sore jaw, and that's probably less of an immediate concern than the blood in my ear that i'm too chicken to go to the bathroom mirror and properly examine

i'm physically almost certainly ok. it's the psyche that's fucked. and fucking useless. on a positive tip i'm too bruisy to even want a drink today. yet.

i wish i was elsewhere and i wish getting there wasn't so hard. i think that's partly where the cheap elsewhere of drinking steps in.

Nothing of note gyac, just feeling as lost and empty as ever and struggling not to drink cos it's one of the few things that doesn't make me feel lost and empty...while I'm drinking
But this community is a big and treasured part of my life and when I'm here all alone it makes me less alone
― Dominc Coombesings (Noodle Vague), Friday, 27 September 2019 20:07 (four years ago) link
I legit made the case to someone today that I felt better about being unhappy at work & other people telling me the same because I knew I wasn’t the only one in that situation and so felt less alone, so I get you.

You could write a whole chapter on this
On 7 March 2008, Goffey accompanied politician Boris Johnson in a bid to try to save the post office near where he had grown up in Forest Hill, at Stanton St. John, Oxfordshire. Goffey commented; "I used to buy sweets and cigarettes there and I want my family to be able to continue that tradition."

Anyone who finds using a bowl and spoon too much of a chore when eating their favourite soup will be delighted to learn that soup is now available as a finger food - but comes with an unhealthy twist.Chip shop boss John Clarkson, 57, has created a pattie-type dish by deep frying farmhouse vegetable soup - and called it the 'soup-er burger.'John, from Preston, Lancashire, was inspired to create the dish after a cheeky customer picked up on John's penchant for frying and commented: 'You'll be deep-frying soup next!'But rather than laugh the comment off, John, who has previously deep-fried a giant Ferrero Rocher and a milkshake, picked up the gauntlet and set about working in his chip shop-cum-gastronomical laboratory to find a way of battering and deep-frying soup.He eventually cracked the problem by cooking up his favourite vegetable soup before adding a touch of cornflour and egg and allowing the mixture to set in a circular mould.
