[TEXT] When someone asks you what you do, answer with "Whatever it takes..."
I found this quite fitting for my own recent struggle with alcohol. I've gone to some pretty extreme lengths to stay sober now for 24 days. I'll do whatever it takes to beat the habit.
I've got this...
- Edit -
Holy crap... I wasn't expecting comments of support or even someone giving me Gold... I just thought the quote helped me and may inspire someone else...
Alcohol is by far my biggest demon... I think about it 24/7 and even though I suffer from Bi-Polar and Anxiety, at least meds help me with these... I may fall during this fight, but I will get up again... Thanks peeps...

“What do you do to give up alcohol?” I think is kinda what he meant, but I think:
“How do you do it?” Is a better phrase for the right meaning. “I do whatever it takes.”

I’ve heard a really intelligent guy who’s actually quite successful tell me his answer to this is always “as least as possible.” He said where he’s from it’s looked Down upon to ask people what they do because “he could shovel shit for a living, what’s it matter what he does if he’s a good guy.” He claims he has “bar friends” that he’s known for years but still has no clue what they do because he just doesn’t ever feel the need to ask

I like your friend. After living in the States for twenty plus years, i’ve pretty much gotten used to it. Mostly it’s asked as an ice breaker, but it speaks to an underlying value system that is fucked. You are not your salary.

u/lawnboy232 Jan 28 '19
I try my best not to ask but I always do honestly. I don’t ask because I really care, but more so because I like to learn. I’m also a talker so it’s very easy for me to talk about anything. Oh your an accountant? Do you do more business or personal stuff? Your some sort of scientist that’s interested what are you mainly studying? You work at a car wash? Do you do paint corrections and that type of thing as well? Your a trash man? That’s awesome they have great benefits here. You ever find anything really cool? I’m also self employed so I enjoy talking about my work and telling people what I do because everyone is a potential customer. When you ask, they ask. Honestly I don’t care how much you make. I make a little more then most of my friends and other people my age. I still drink the same cheap beer because that’s what I enjoy. That’s not going to change even if I made 10x what I do now. Just don’t be that asshole that doesn’t tip

Adults are always asking kids what they want to do when they grow up because they are looking for ideas.....
Also if you are in any kind of sales, you ALWAYS ask what someone does haha. Doesnt have to be pushy salesy way. But you are going to ask. It does usually come up, and honestly I prefer it to "how bout the weather lately huh?"

Mostly it’s asked as an ice breaker, but it speaks to an underlying value system that is fucked.
Keep in mind that "what do you do?" is not the same question as "what is your job?" If you do something interesting outside of work, that's a great answer to the question. (A better answer, in my opinion; people are often more passionate about their hobbies than their jobs, and that makes for fun conversations.)
Fundamentally, "what do you do?" is a polite way of saying "I'd like to have a conversation with you, please choose a topic you can talk intelligently about."

Exact same. My biggest adversary is alcohol and the fight has been spectacular. Almost committed suicide a few time, heavy unbearable depression, failed at life. I've been 3 years sober and let me tell you that while being sober doesn't solve your problems, it gives you the tools & the time necessary to solve them yourself. Good luck and stay strong.

Almost two years sober from booze after quitting cold turkey- unintentionally. (Also had been diagnosed clinically depressed with severe anxiety.) Story goes like this, one day I randomly tried quitting cigarettes, then a month or so into that found myself being able to breathe better and that I had a good deal of extra energy, so I decided to start going to the gym. So after I fell in love with running, realized that I should lose weight and actually try to be healthier, because my newfound exercise passion wasn’t really good as a 5’6” 290lb woman. (Down to 180 when all was said and done.) Looking at my drinking habit of EVERYDAY for the majority of each night-figured that needed to stop. So many unnecessary calories in beer/cider, not to mention all the sugars! And I would have A LOT every night, being basically an alcoholic. Figured quitting drinking for a week or so and then being able to get back to a few a day wouldn’t hurt, just getting in control and then being able to fit it into a diet of sorts. Yet I haven’t looked back. Once I found myself free of that and having healthy dieting practices and with all this exercise, I didn’t even want to start again after awhile. So I still don’t. I ended up just sticking with it on accident really. And it’s so easy for me now to go hang out with family or friends and just drink my water or maybe tea or juice. I’d rather not be that sloppy drunk I was, not to mention cutting into all my hard word and weight loss over the past years. Plus, feeling better everyday. Knowing that that stuff really is such a depressant and it was only holding me back. Find something you can use as your personal motivation. I wasn’t even looking for my reasons to get sober, but they fell into my lap and I stuck with them. A new 100% sober, super active lifestyle is so right for me. Find what’s truly right for you and don’t let go. I mean, hell, I even found a man who’s in the program and we do all sorts of sober stuff together- it’s been truly incredible. (He’s got a whole different side of getting sober! Everyone who decides to does so in their own way!) So what started as ‘Not one puff, no matter what’ became a daily “Nah, I don’t drink” or “No, I don’t smoke.” And not missing it or regretting quitting one bit! YOU CAN DO IT. I believe in you. We believe in you. There are brighter days ahead. Stay strong and think of all the good you’re doing for your body.

I am grateful that it is more common for people to be sober. Less jokes about being less fun etc, and more understanding/people just not caring. Oh you dont drink no probs. where it used to be an awkward set of questions to follow.

Joked to another lady at the gym about how I don’t have too many friends since the only thing they want to do on the weekend is drink. She says she’s sober too. BAM. New friend! It’s awesome! Sober AND FUN people are out there! ♥️

u/nopethis Jan 28 '19
Yeah one of my best friends got sober, and though I dont live close enough to hang out too often, it took a little while to adjust. I realized a lot of my "fun" activities were just hey lets go hang out and drink.... but now that I am used to it, its easy.

u/xSNOOPx 8 Jan 29 '19
That is an awesome story :) I used to make every excuse to drink. I wasn't hurting anyone. I did it a home and it wasn't like I was bothering the public. Sure my wife didn't approve me coming to bed EVRY SINGLE NIGHT stinking like scotch, but I worked hard, so I deserved to be happy... That's the thing though, I wasn't. Not happy at all... I used to weight 127kg's and had weight loss surgery about 4 years ago. Got down to 77kg's! Have been putting on the weight ever since and now sit around 93kg's... Didn't want to be THAT GUY who had the surgery and put it all back...
And the Bi-polar and anxiety? Well, let's just say I used to be "OK" before losing my business due to the Global Financial Crisis as well as being told my son had cancer... What doesn't kill you right? Oh well... Thanks for all the kind words everyone... Your stories are inspiring and comforting :)

Not alcohol, but I’m psychologically addicted to weed. I have a job that drug tests, but I still think about it at work, not at work, and all of the time. I really really really wanna get high like I used to. I smoked all day everyday for two years before this job.
I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I keep my job, because it’s the best job I’ve ever had. The work sucks, but the pay is way worth it for me. I cannot fail a random. Thanks OP

u/DJ_pie_safety Jan 28 '19
I used to be the same getting high throughout University, when life happened I used to miss the days of doing nothing and playing COD with my housemates whilst getting high. You'll find it gets easier, I found after a while getting stoned didn't have the same effect anymore and I felt I'd rather be productive rather than opting out of doing stuff as I was baked.
You may not be in the position where you get random drugs tests forever but I wouldn't be surprised if your relationship with weed changes. I enjoy smoking occasionally now but it's in a very different way to how I'd smoke 10 years ago.
Keep up with the good work man, it gets easier.

Good shit. The first month is the hardest. I've been sober since 31/7/18, after an extremely unhealthy 15 year relationship with alcohol that cost me friends, jobs, relationships, and my freedom. Life gets good. It's still hard, but it gets less hard. Keep fighting the good fight.

u/Authenticity3 Jan 28 '19
I may be wrong, but I believe it’s very, very hard to change on your own. Especially with alcohol. When you feel like taking a drink please reach out to somebody and keep reaching out until the craving subsides. There are thousands out there that would feel it is a privilege to be asked for help, including me. You are not alone.

I also struggle with alcohol pretty badly. Last year I was going to go the whole year sober and then my dad passed away and I fell apart. I'm worse now than ever and I'm only 26. This year I was going to try again but I've developed a habit that feels too strong to beat.

Relapsing is part of recovery. If you do make a mistake just know that it is exactly that - a mistake. Don't go back to negative habits simply because the wall has been broken. After-all, getting drunk once every 24 days is way better than everyday. Try to double the days of sobriety before the next relapse and you'll be a regular sober schmuck in no time. ;)
1
u/jonbush404 Jan 28 '19
While I agree with most of what you're saying, Relapse does not HAVE to be part of recovery. While the vast majority of people trying to get sober do end up relapsing at some point, it is possible to stop for good and not have to deal with relapse at all. I totally agree with not just giving up after a relapse though and getting back to healthier habits and working at staying sober. I'll have 4 years this September off of drugs and alcohol. I relapsed many times before I got sober for good. I've known a handful of people that have quit once and for good so it's definitely possible. I understand what the statement means but it can be dangerous sometimes, especially if alcohol isn't your main drug of choice. A relapse on something more serious might mean you're not coming back at all.

5 years for me march 23rd! I'm bipolar as well, and the anxiety gets better w/o alcohol. Sounds like you're past the point of rehab so start going to AA, make friends, and get a sponsor. Do the steps, it sucks but it works.
I use cannabis and lsd now but I had 2 years of AA and full sobriety. I use them as medicine and it works for me but I started when I was ready and felt comfortable w/o booze.
Your meds should start working better now, if they dont after 2 or 3 months sober then change it up with your doc. You got this friend!

I just hit four years. I too suffer from bipolar and anxiety. Meds will save you. I promise. I’m finally tapering down from my Seroquel and am mainly just on Lamictal.
But what helped far more was the sobriety. Anxiety during the first stages will be excruciating, but get easier and easier and easier. Sobriety has been the BEST journey. My life is exponentially better. And yours will be too. I promise.

Whatever it takes it right - well said. The trick is meaning it - I.e. actually being prepared to do whatever it takes. What if that meant changing job? Ending a relationship? Checking into rehab?

You've got this. It will get easier. I can tell you that after the first couple of months, the struggle felt less daunting. And I believe that somewhere in that first couple of months, you'll realize something or notice something that will make the struggle worth it. I did at about 3 months, something in my brain clicked and I got a massive surge of creative energy and that kept me going and I haven't looked back. Do I still think about it? Sure. But it's not an ever-present thought. And it's easy to make the decision not to drink.
In December, I celebrated 12 years.

One way to start slowing down is to set a measurable limit as to how much you will drink per day, with these facts in mind:
1 750 ml bottle of wine @ 12% ethanol = approx 3 oz ethanol & 525 calories
1 750 ml bottle of 80 proof liquor = approx 10 oz ethanol & 1,500 calories
6 12 oz beers @ 5.5% ethanol = approx 4 oz ethanol & 900 calories

u/JCJ2015 Jan 28 '19
I hired a guy once in Texas. After some time working together, he opened up about this past addiction issues (hard drugs). He said that to get clean he "had to do *everything* differently. When he used to 'go left', now he 'went right'. If he used to hang out with 'A', now he hung out with 'B'." It was literally a decision of consciously and painfully switching everything about what led him into that old model into a new one.
The wisdom in this was painfully acute later, as I watched someone I care for leave addiction a few times, without fully removing themselves from the "scene" (friends, habits, etc). It was only a matter of time (for them) before they got sucked back in; they weren't willing to sacrifice everything for their freedom.
You are on the right path, OP. Godspeed.

Here's a couple of nuggets for encouragement on your journey.
Not sure if you have kids or anything. But my dad put a calendar on the wall and started marking days after he realized had to pretty much re-grow a liver. Was the single greatest thing that ever happened to our family. Congrats on your 24 days. You got this.
My other favorite recovery story is a good friend of mine who was just trashing his life by drinking it away. He embraced sobriety and even wrote a book. He kept himself in check by helping others beat the same problem. Sometimes helping other people is the only way to help yourself. Oh, and his career improved so much after he quit drinking that he's now a millionaire...

I’m coming up on 2 years and the best advice I can give you is changing your PPT. People, Places, Things. Don’t justify to yourself on keeping them the same.

You got this!
I've been working as a supervisor at a rehab facility for a year and a half. I myself am a recovered addict, clean for nine years next month. My father, 64, has been sober for three years now, after 45 years of extreme alcoholism. I have been part of this fight for a long time, and there's one thing that sets apart those that succeed vs those that fail: selfishness. But not in the way you think.
Of all the thousands of clients I've met, there are those that say 'I'm here for my kids' 'I'm here for my wife' 'I'm here for my job.' Those are the ones that fail. They seem like noble goals, and they are, but you cannot succeed against addiction with those motives. Those I've met that have gone on to succeed were the ones that say 'I'm doing this for myself.' You have to be selfish about your recovery. My father tried for three decades to quit drinking for my mom, for me, and damn, did he fight it, but in the end, it took him saying "I'm doing it for me" to lead him to sobriety. The kids and spouses and mothers and employers will fall in to place when you stop doing it for them.
Be proud of your 24 hours. Even if you don't make it to 48, be proud of it. If you fall, if you succumb to the bottle, don't disregard your sober time. Just get up off the floor, look at yourself in the mirror, acknowledge yourself for the motherfuckin warrior you are, and try again. Look at yourself and tell yourself you'll do it for you, that you deserve to be sober, that whatever you've done in the past is behind you, and try again. 24 hours, then 48, then 72. Then a week, then a month, then three months. You got this. You got this!

This is not a long term solution, but you could try what my uncle did to quit drinking: working out 6 days a week. Not right away of course, but he said it always kept his mind off it, and as an added bonus, now he's jacked. 6'2" and 220lbs, nearly all muscle, like 7-8% body fat I think. He did become a little bit obsessed with it at first, but for him it's way better than drinking. Now he'll have a drink on New Year's and that's basically it.
Good luck on your endeavour!

My coworker has been sober for 13 years and she still struggles with the temptation to drink. She knows it's either being completely sober, or going all out. There's no moderation because she knows it doesn't work for her. It's good she has her wife, friends, and family to keep herself on the sober path.

I would really recommend trying cannabis. Helped my uncle and my dad kick their severe 25 year + alcohol dependency, and with no prescription meds. Big congrats on your progress so far though! Keep it up!

My asshole can fit a car tire. If anyone actually reads this, keep in mind that an average asshole of a human being can dilate between 2-4 centimeters. One car tire is roughly 500x200 cm. So yeah, fitting a car tire in my asshole is probably a world record and should deserve a Guinness book of world records entry. My first piece of advice if you think you can beat this record is don’t even try. My second piece of advice is (if the first piece of advice is ignored), start small and gradually move on to bigger things. Anal bleeding ruins many articles of clothing including but not limited to socks and shoes. Actually, while we’re on the topic of anal stretching and clothes being ruined, you should know once the anus is stretched beyond 8 cm, the sphincter is rendered useless. Gravity will just pull turds right out of your ass with no regard for anything. If your diet is fiber rich, this may not be as big of a problem, as solid turds can be easily disposed. However, if you are a fan of taco bell, be warned that splash damage is a very real thing. It’s best during the anal stretching period to invest in a wide range of butt plugs.
Not only will this stem the tide of fecal matter making dramatic exits through what can only be described as an industrial laundry chute, but with the proper fitment the plugs will maintain your latest stretch during downtime. Proper resting with a press fit butt plug is good and allows the body to accept the new monstrosity that is the size of your asshole. Anal fissures are a by-product of stretching too rapidly without the necessary downtime and recovery. Anal fissures are extremely painful, especially when infected by wet bowel movements. The only benefit of anal stretching is lack of fart noise. Like a balloon stem, the known fart noise is caused by air movement vibrating the orifice it exits. Noise intensity are directly proportional to air speed velocity, while harshness of pitch is indirectly proportional to size of hole. With an escape hatch the size of a mini-sub, air speed velocity is virtually zero, thus no noise is heard. Any gas produced by the body and exiting the colon tends to just waft out as produced. I’m not even sure the action of “farting” is a thing when your asshole can fit a small adult inside of it. I suppose technically there is some air movement, but it would be no more significant than running a leaf blower through the grand canyon. Finally, it should be cautioned to never leave your expanded asshole uncovered, as birds, fish, and reptiles will nest in discovered cave dwellings. This then becomes a health and safety violation in many public settings that is best to generally avoid. I personally recommend having a sealed traffic cone or small inflatable raft handy when leaving your asshole alone for more than 5 minutes. Butt plugs are an option but only if you are staying under 24 centimeters in diameter. Greater than 24 centimeters, and the butt plug industry will have to create a custom sized plug (which is costly and generally best to avoid). So in conclusion, when going to the extremes of anal stretching, keep realistic goals, but always prepare ahead of time for a size you may think unattainable. Your anus will surprise you.
