u/Emotional-Chapter227

Hello all,

I’ve made the decision I need to get sober again. I have been able to get sober for over a year two times prior, but that was during lockdown and I did not have much of a social life. Now I live in a cool city with a fair amount of friends and we regularly go out to shows, clubs, concerts, etc. where alcohol is readily available and most of my friends drink. I’m struggling with even getting started in my recovery because as soon as I make the decision to stop drinking I get an invitation to something and I end up drinking. It is very demoralizing.

Any and all advice, insights, or whatever you think could be helpful are welcome. Thanks!

Hello all,

I am planning to get a chest tattoo with some flowers and a quote. However, I am planning on losing around a 100 lbs. Would weight loss of that amount cause any sort of issues with a chest tattoo?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I have made the decision to get sober. However, I am unsure of what is the best way to go about it. I have heard of programs like SmartRecovery and AA, but I’m wondering if there are any other programs that any of you have used that have worked? Were any of you able to get and stay sober without utilizing a program?

Thanks!
