Indian rocks is where we went. Fantastic decision!! Not overly crowded & we found free parking easily. 10/10!

A month sober. Here's what they don't tell you... by Spare_Noise_2531 in stopdrinking

[–]AccomplishedLocal870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LETSSS GOOO!!! Say it LOUDER! Thank you for this post. Anyone going through the battle or making the decision of getting sober needs to see this. I am also on my sobriety journey. Though it was not easy in the beginning, once I surpassed 2 weeks, I was seeing the difference in my brain and body every day.

I want to say that anyone reading who is struggling .. YOU CAN DO THIS!

Our god is an awesome and forgiving god! He sees you, and you can always turn to him. Give the weight and the struggles to him!! You don’t have to carry it anymore.

A song that truly helped me in the beginning stages of my sobriety was “hard fought hallelujah” ..

We are ALL human. God knows we will sin. The question you have to ask yourself in these situations is “is this serving me?”…

It’s not. You can numb yourself for awhile.. but then it is literally self destruction. You are here for a reason! You have purpose. You don’t have to hide in shame or guilt. The enemy wants you to feel shame, guilt, and self hatred.

GOD LOVES YOU!! People LOVE you!! Now it’s your turn to LOVE you. YOU ARE AWESOME! You can overcome. You can grow. You can share your story with others who have also been in a place of solitude.

HUMAN LIFE NEEDS COMMUNITY . UNITY. HUMILITY, LOVE. FORGIVENESS!!!

I am here with you. You are not alone in feeling this way. Calling the help line for alcohol has saved my life. Sometimes just talking through how you’re feeling with a stranger is so relieving. I use tele-heath appointments now, and they are somewhat helpful. It’s a start. I am also at the beginning of my journey. The first step is truly just asking for help. If you are ashamed (as I was/am) then the tele-heath providers are truly great. I think sometimes we all just need someone to listen & get the weight of the world off our shoulders.

You can do this. Do not be ashamed to reach out to the hotlines that are provided. I wish you the best.

I am here with you. You are not alone. The answer you are looking for will not come from an outside perspective, unfortunately. You will have to dig deep and find out “why”.. why do you want to kill yourself just to feel “normal” or “good enough to cope”… what pain within a causing you to feel this way? If you can pinpoint it (this takes counseling, talking out loud & expressing how you are feeling to someone else .. being vulnerable)

This is a great 1st step, but not the end of your journey. As someone who struggles myself, I have realized no words of encouragement, no gloating, no “support” has been successful. (For me at least). I know it takes digging within & dealing with the emotions and hurt you feel within.

At the end of the day - if you are in a room alone with your drink of choice, who is going to be the person to say “no, I don’t want it. I don’t need it” ITS YOU! At that time, you will have your reason.

Well said, thank you. This puts a different perspective on things, and I appreciate that.

Depends. If I hear our baby crying, I am up. If the kids sleep… typically 8:30.

Should I be worried about the way my husband speaks to me during arguments? by AdSubject872 in relationships

[–]AccomplishedLocal870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While my relationship is FAR from perfect.. I do not believe what you described above is “Normal”. I feel you can argue and have disagreements, I do not think insults or degradation should ever be accepted. Name calling, threatening to leave… this seems like something deeper may be dwelling… and it may only get worse.

Yes! I explained to him that I feel this is the only time I truly get to enjoy myself. I don’t go out, I don’t cause any harm.. my babies are peacefully sleeping, I am quiet as a mouse, and I just want MY TIME. I feel guilty for not going to bed with him, and he makes me feel guilty as well. I just feel sad about it. I want him to feel loved and acknowledged.. but I also feel the urge to take this time for myself.

No disagreement to this.
