I was talking with a sober friend yesterday and we were talking about people using excuses to get back into cigs, alcohol and/or weed. We were observing that the excuses are usually very lame but is there really such a thing as a good excuse? Also, it seems that the longer you stay sober, the less likely you are to succumb to excuses.

Also Maxx, we discussed weed specifically, since we live in a state where it's legal and we agreed that it really doesn't help with sobriety, it hurts because it stunts your growth. I personally quit drinking before I quit weed but it took being done with both to really fly. Fighting your demons instead of dodging them with drugs and alcohol is actually a liberating experience.

It's up to you to stay on the path.

I only had the passion for alcohol as it numbed my feelings.
Passion for life is what's missing here, I've rediscovered my passion for life and the things I used to enjoy before my activities were ruled by drinking.

I'm not an athlete or a sporty person but I know plenty and of others that recommend a sober lifestyle, healthy eating, good sleep and the types of things you mentioned in an earlier post that you did when you were sober.

It's never to late to stop drinking... The only time is NOW.

Your last sentence and this whole paragraph sounds like an big excuse and others convey self-pity.
I hope I'm not being harsh, I don't know you but you sound just like I used to.

My best wishes for the strength to do what you need to for your life.

Keep on keeping on and NEVER give in

Glad to hear you are staying with it Max. If you continue to have stomach issues see a doc, better to be safe than sorry.

I think your idea that you can't get pancreatitis from beer is inaccurate Maxx--
Alcohol is alcohol
Maybe you better check with your doctor if you are hurting.

Please take care of yourself

Didn't sleep last night again cause it hurts still. Going to the hospital if its not good by midnight. I need to rest. It's not my pancreas though,I don't think, this is something different. No appetite, extreme dull bloating feeling around the whole stomach. Getting chills today, constipated. Can't get comfy.

Definitely sounds like a trip to the doc is in order Max. Don't try and self diagnose, just go and get some help.

Soberwolf

Hang in there Max book a Dr apt if it gets any worse go straight to hospital

Hoping you are seeking medical assistance today Maxx,
Dr or hospital or even a nurse could really make a difference to the pain & discomfort you are experiencing.
I hope you can get this care for you in these early days... You ARE worth it!
Peace to you and all
