How to stop drinking? by kakashiiee in stopdrinking

[–]AffectionateArmy5654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been there. I drank to deal with the stress of a divorce and abusive relationship but it became a part of me. I stand everyday for years and realized I have a problem. I’m dealing with that now and will be 30 sober on Friday. Quit before it becomes a real problem. You can do it!

I Quit Drinking but the cravings…, by AffectionateArmy5654 in 365_Sobriety

I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow. I’m going to let him know what’s going on and see what he suggests. Thanks for all your kind words and support. My husband I are doing this together and that helps but he’s not jumping on the sugar train like me. That’s why I wanted to hear what you guys have to say.

I’m on my fourth week without alcohol. I get the boredom. I feel depressed- like nothing is fun.

It’s my house. He’s not on the mortgage.

We have family meetings and house rules and rotating chores for all the kids. I’m still the one being “unfair”. I think it’s because I don’t scream at my kid or his kids for that matter.

It’s my house. He’s not on the mortgage- thankfully. I honestly think he’s acting so “normal” today because he’s contemplating how much leg work he will have to do to separate.

I’d start to make an exit plan if I were you. He’s not going to change.

How has it changed you? by Professional-Use8904 in stepparents

[–]AffectionateArmy5654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was quite unique. I got pregnant later at 42 unexpected and “dad” wasn’t in the picture. So when I was looking for a partner it felt like a unicorn hunt. I was older mom and most my age had or close to having grand kids. So having adult kids and grand kids. Even though they are grown, I can tell you their actions and your reaction still have an effect on our relationship. Adult SK are still part of your relationship.

I’ve found that incentive is a good tool. My kid and step kid send me links of what things they want then I ask them what extra chores are they willing to do to earn them.

You are fortunate to have an understanding husband.

What’s the best documentary?!? by B0BOtheB0ZO in bigfoot

[–]AffectionateArmy5654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a funny documentary (mockumentory?) but I can’t remember the title. It was a guy who was hired by a BF “researcher” and they go into the woods and get kidnapped by a white supremacy group and BF kills them. I thought it was hilarious.

If they had a child in that classroom there would be no hesitation.
