I've never owned rats but I know they are very intelligent and can get very attached to humans, while enrichment for guinea pigs is food and places to hide. What you describe about them not being warm to you sounds like normal behavior. If you're able to hand feed them that's about as close as you can get to taming them. They will always run when you try to pick them up no matter how tame they are.
What i learned from my last two relapses (First after 4 1/2 Months, second after 3 Months) they build up....for me it was never a snap and suddenly i urged a drink.....both times for days i had massive stress and didn't worked properly against it.....then slowly the permission gaving thoughts came back....
It is scary. I feel your pain. The only thing that ever worked for me is putting aside the shame and regret and stopping beating myself up. It's easier said than done but try and be kind to yourself.
Depends on the stage of relationship. For example, first 3 years of marriage are really different from 10 years of marriage. And depends on the person. People are here talking about good things etc, but in reality, percentage of marriages end in divorce is really high.

I agree that things were more fun while drinking...for the first hour or so only. Because I've never been able to pace myself and stop before it's too late, I usually would get combative or make a fool of myself even if i was having "fun". The little while of fun is not worth all the embarrassment, damage I've caused to relationships, my health both mental and physical, and not to mention the money I used to waste on the poison. Sure I miss it sometimes especially when I'm bored or in social settings, but the little while of fun is not worth the problems it comes with. IWNDWYT
As a Russian I can confirm that's how we vote. They usually put a gun to your head before you put the right signature on it, and your family is in the basement at this moment.
That's what your brain tells you to get the dose of the substance. Can be very tricky. If you believe this game your brain is playing, then do what you want. But isn't it kinda strange that ONLY alcohol in your thoughts? There are no other things that can make you calm and relaxed, lol? Didn't you think about it in that perspective? Why exactly the alcohol? You're tricked by your own brain. It remembers it's drug and waiting for you to consume.
I’m 50. Bought an e-bike so I can ride like I’m 16 again. It gives me that adrenaline and serotonin that ETOH did. Can’t wait til it’s a bit warmer and I’ll be all over the place until December again. Even got a basket and get groceries with it.
Yeah, I feel you. I'm almost 30, but when I was 16-22 I had a bike and those feelings of 2 wheels... That's something hard to forget! I'm driving car daily but it's not the same. I guess I was the happiest person when I was driving bike. There was also a community of bikers, good days... Maybe buy a used one someday... Even just thinking about it gives me a damn rush.
I don't have all the answers it's just something I've been thinking a lot about recently and realized that I constantly turn to distractions / escapism / cheap dopamine hits whenever I don't like how I feel, my mood is low, I feel stressed or anxious, I want to quieten my busy mind and just about any other reason.
I'm using diary to sum up my emotions and feelings. In the end i always remind myself that all of the feelings and other sensations which I feel and thoughts telling me to get drunk are just the long term effects of drinking alcohol and they are all false. Thousands of people who have quit drinking have experienced this and nothing has happened to them. The brain, trying to get its dose of the substance sends us certain signals and thoughts, but they are all false, the main thing is not to forget about it. I try to accept all my thoughts and states, if possible, calmly, without resistance. But, again, sobriety is about building your life, not just giving up alcohol. That's my mindset.
I know for sure that the relapse can be stopped at any moment if you really want it. But it's for sure a prolonged moment. Your brain prepares itself to consume the dose of the substance. And is laying out a soft path to achieve that goal. You can feel it when you're starting to doubt your intentions to stop drinking. Some one thought or phrase you've heard can be really challenging. In such moments, you have to realize that yes, I am experiencing all these thoughts and feelings, but I realize that they have nothing to do with the real picture of the world, because at this time I am experiencing the effects of withdrawal symptoms. These are the long-term effects of alcohol use, and I realize that. All these thoughts and feelings are false because my brain just wants a dose of the substance.
And a lot of people have been through it and nothing terrible happened to them. In fact, it's not the outside that changes, but my inner state and perception. I know that all these states pass and I realize that every month I will get better and better, because the experience of thousands of people who quit drinking tells me that, and I have no reason not to trust their experience. I accept all my states, if possible, calmly, without resistance, because I know that they will pass anyway. Good luck.
Disgusting shit. Prey needed to be eaten alive

I agree. I had this thoughts for days before drinking. You never just go and drinking. You brain gives you a reason to drink, slowly.
It is scary. I feel your pain. The only thing that ever worked for me is putting aside the shame and regret and stopping beating myself up. It's easier said than done but try and be kind to yourself.
Thank you! I'll try.

Strongly agree about "hour os so" part. Best time in an alcohol frenzy were when you were drunk but not too much. After that It was a fucking mess.
As a Russian I can confirm that's how we vote. They usually put a gun to your head before you put the right signature on it, and your family is in the basement at this moment.
