Does anyone else have strong alcohol cravings / triggers in Airports, Airplanes, Hotels/hotel bars, travel in general? I can be fine at home but then go on a bender starring the minute I enter an airport all the way through returning home.

For those who are struggling during the holiday season: I finally had the courage to talk to my doctor about my depression and drinking problems. I don't know why I waited so long. Started crying in the first 5 minutes and felt immensely better after the session. There is no shame in looking for help. We can still be successful and strong and self-sufficient. Hang in there!

I think that I have eating disorder. I am always hungry but when I get food I can’t finish it, usually I am done after 2-3 bites and then I am hungry again after an hour. Anyone has similar issues? Have you been to a nutritionist or dietitian? If yes, is it covered by Insurance?

I am trying to practice a version of intuitive/mindful eating - honoring my body’s hunger cues and not sticking to a timeline or plan as to what and when to eat. But tbh years of “dieting” has screwed over my ability to recognize hunger cues. I suddenly realize my hunger after not eating for 10+ hours and then I’m ravenous and would just eat anything. Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Has anyone tried using Kratom to help with an addiction to opiates? Does Kratom itself get addictive if you start using it for a while?

My SO is an alcohol abuser but has said he knows it’s a problem and would like to cut back or quit. Any suggestions or advice in how to help and cope with this. He becomes a different person when he drinks. I want to support him but don’t know how or where to start.

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

Has anyone ever messed up at a company party because of alcohol?

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

Has anyone found an online ED support program that’s sliding scale? Working with a therapist hasn’t been enough but a full outpatient or inpatient program is too expensive.

Curious to hear others’ stories about the positive changes they experienced (mentally and physically) after they quit drinking....I am thinking about quitting again - mainly to improve my mental and physical state.

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

I messed ups no need help. Idk where to turn.

Any meditation stories on recovery anyone willing to share? Did you have break through moments during meditation?

Sitting in the airport in Nashville. Whole lotta drinking going on. This town, like so many others can get raucous. Anyways, it’s late (10:30 flight) and I go to the coffee counter and ask for a black coffee, no room for cream. It’s like a secret handshake. Yes…I am, Said with just a small vague smile. No charge. Have a good night she says. I will, thanks. Grateful for one more day into this 2,948 day, 13 hour, 33 minute journey.

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

I have been struggling with a “pu’u pu’u platter of addictions” (thank you for the phrase Brene Brown) for much of my life and have managed to work a program for the past five years. My problem is my family of origin. My dad is an alcoholic and my brother - if he isn’t already - is well on his way. Their attitudes are so unhealthy and I am struggling to break patterns. I welcome advice from any and all who have had to deal with this added layer of complexity
