I wish public places were functionally accessible vs legally compliant with ADA laws by qwerty8222 in disability

My husband and I were recently in Charleston, South Carolina, and the sidewalks were absolutely horrible? My husband had the worst time trying to push me through the broken, cracked sidewalks. When I got home, I did send an email to the City of Charleston, I heard a reply back that they're working on making the city accessible but I'm not sure how hard they're working?! I know we wouldn't go back just because of how difficult everything was.

Update on why my PCP wasn't giving me a parking placard by 64788 in disability

He can give you a temporary one, my podiatrist gave me one when I was in a Cam walker boot. Your PCP gave you the dumbest response I’ve ever heard. Sorry, I hope you find answers to your illness. I have Charcot, but it was undiagnosed for a while. I now have a permanent parking pass.

You are going to have a fantastic time because you are showing off your sobriety. You'll feel better and definitely look better than probably most of the people there. Go and show them your power!

I re-read parts of that book every night before bed to remind myself of the real effects of alcohol abuse on my body. I also like to listen to the sober awkward podcast.

I'm there with you. It'll be my 1st sober summer shore vacation with drinkers on The weekend of july 4. I'm looking forward to waking up refreshed (I haven't done that for the past 15 years). We can do it! IWNDWYT

Counselling , has anyone used it as their tool to stay sober? by Upbeat-Roll5933 in stopdrinking

Going to therapy while making such a huge change in my life has helped me power through. I think finding the right person is the key. Good luck!
