Day 1 Sorry for the bad news but I drank last night. I’ve decided with my new sobriety to give up caffeine. It’s going to be difficult but I believe it’s what I have to do to stay sober. |
The good news is your back! Your Sober today and you posted. Great job being true to yourself. Does the caffeine make you anxious? I love my diet coke and coffee in the morning. I would love to be healthier and stick to water and caffeine free tea. I like sleepy time at night. Great job coming right back and congrats on staying sober today. |
Last night you were an hour away from 16 days and seemed excited about it. What happened? |
That's ok FreedomCA. You are in one piece and back here among those who understand completely. Let's get another 20 full days sober for you and that will get you to Jan 1 and a new year and a new road 20 days in. Great way to start 2020. |
Sorry you drank FreedomCA. Maybe you need a list of things to do before you drink - an action plan...posting and reading here, posting to others in trouble, hitting a meeting, calling someone, urge surfing.... Giving up caffeine is a good lifestyle change but I'm not sure what impact that alone will have on you not relapsing? I think you'd be better off focusing on finding support and using it :dunno: D |
Welcome back! |
I was excited one hour before getting 16 days because I was high and intoxicated on caffeine. It then makes me anxious and I drink. I was drinking 2 energy drinks each day. I know that if I want to stay sober I need to stop getting a daily high on caffeine. i just blended a fruit smoothie with protein powder and feel better. And please know that I do take this as a life and death issue when I drink. I’m just not freaking out because that would not be good either. I really do think this time it’s the caffeine. I got rid of the pseudoephedrine and now I have to ditch the caffeine too. Im so tired and just want to go to bed and wake up to Day 2. |
Just got out of a meeting and now having ribs at Applebee’s with water. So far so good with my new caffeine free sobriety. I guess now the only drug I am on is sugar, but I think I would die if I gave that one up. |
Applebee's sounds good! Listen to what Dee has said. There is some solid advice there. It seems as though you are making a connection between caffeine and relapsing. If so, you need to take another look at why you relapsed so you can learn from it. |
Happy you came back and are taking it seriously, you know what you need to do, and we are all here for you!!! |
Yes!!! So glad you made it! I have 99 days today and it's taken probably 2 years to get here. I just keep coming back here. I've been going to meetings, too. Tomorrow is day 2 for you! Rock it. |
Welcome back. Cutting out caffeine is a good idea if it makes you anxious. Sugar? Is also a powerful drug. Giving it up will not kill you fwiw. |
Don’t feel I need to give up sugar because it doesn’t seem to trigger cravings like caffeine does. Also, I’m not too sure sugar is a drug that has mind altering effects like the other drugs. |
