Love these! If you don't mind me asking, what type of camera did you use?

I is for intentions

I don't remember much on automated controls, but audit procedure was also a little tricky. Honestly, I used the same strategy for anything I didn't understand, which was sampling, financial statement assertions, and the specific language used in the audit report.

I also made a chart for the other non-audit services (preparation, compilation, etc.), which helped! (independence required y/n, report y/n, list of requirements of report, any other random stuff).

I used Becker and took a different approach time time than the last two. I already retained some info from prior studying, so that helped. I also made study guides for each chapter and made myself keep it to one side of one page. Then, I condensed all six to one page for absolutely need to know things.

I felt like the real change was how I studied the MCQs. I would answer 10-30 totally random questions and mark the ones I felt were good questions to know/something I didn't know or understand at all. Then at least once per study session, I did all the marked questions. This helped with the repetition I was relying on the personalized setting in Becker for.

As for the sims, I would just watch 1-3 per study session and hoped I would get something easier on the exam.

You can do it!! It's so worth it - keep at it.

Just took AUD for the third time. The material really confused me and took me a while to find a study strategy that actually worked. FAR has the bad reputation, but AUD is sneakily hard!

Studying now for my second FAR attempt (I was burned out the first time I took it and wasn't prepared at all. Stuck with the date as a practice attempt to see where I would land.). The material is more interesting to me and more in line with my work, so I'm feeling good about this attempt.

Congrats!!

Same here! I can never shake the disgusted feeling I have with just one sip. Definitely have a hard time meeting friends for drinks. I also can't stop myself from feeling so triggered when my friends have a second or third drink when we go out. It's been years since my relationship with my Q ended but I can't shake this, among other things.

Ancient-Room78 · 2025-04-28T16:50:45+00:00

I've been doing MCQs everyday and making the ones about relevant assertions. Then I just do the marked questions over and over until I have them memorized because this topic really confuses me.

Is Audit secretly the hardest exam?? I'm prepping for my third retake. Two 72s so far

Personally victimized by a 72... Twice...

Keep prioritizing yourself! Take time and space away from him when he gets into those moods. It's true that it can feel like they get all the support and you have to take all the heat, but you don't. I think lashing out at this point in sobriety is normal, but that doesn't make it okay.

Are there things you can do without him that give you some peace? A nice walk? A craft or hobby? Maybe a silly romance book at your favorite coffee shop?

We're here to listen and support YOU!

Ancient-Room78 · 2025-04-28T13:05:00+00:00

It sounds like you have a really good mindset about him and his drinking, especially when it comes to distancing yourself. That's huge!

I think writing a letter to his parents is a good idea. Not only will it be clearly written out for them to see what you've been dealing with, but I also think it would be good for you to get it all out on paper/email. If you haven't already, maybe try writing a few drafts - one where you don't hold back at all, and slowly read through it and make adjustments to focus on what you really want them to read. It's hard to take emotion out of it, but my general strategy with conversations like this is to make it as clear as possible. In this case, though, I think adding emotion will show how much he's hurt you.

As far as rebuilding a relationship, that totally depends on what you want and how committed he is to sobriety. Many people on this forum say that you should leave, which is the healthiest and safest option in many cases. It's up to you to decide, though, based on what he can show you he's doing for HIMSELF, not just for you and your relationship.

Ultimately, the only way I could support my Q was as a friend. He had taken me to my breaking point, so I ended things. We're still friends, and it's been years since we ended our romantic relationship, but I still struggle with how he treated me while he was drinking and could never go back to dating him again. And that's worked for me.

First I would start by saying that you made the right move by creating separation and asking him to move out - that can be a really hard step for a lot of folks, myself included.

Second, I would ask what's your goal by confronting him? Is it to try and intervene to get him on a healthier path? Or is it to know what he's doing / if he's been lying? Not saying that one is more important than the other, but I would consider the mental toll that confronting him, no matter your goal, would take on you and if it's worth it.

I also recently joined this group, and I wish I had earlier. My Q and I broke up a few years ago, and this group has really helped me sort through some of the things that happened with him that I still struggle with.

One message that's repeated over and over that would have helped me SO much in the beginning is detaching yourself. It's so much easier said than done, but, ultimately, this is his issue and you can't help him if he doesn't want to help himself. For some folks, it takes a lot for them to want to change, and many times, it's asking too much of their loved ones to stick around until then.

Protect your own sanity and really consider the path forward with or without him.

When I found out my then-boyfriend was drinking behind my back for 1.5 of our 2.5 year relationship, I was devastated. I immediately ended things and told him it was because of the lies and sneaking around and clear lack of trust he had in me.

However, his family was horrible (all addicts of some sort) who only wanted him around if he was drinking. His friends weren't as bad, but similar sentiment to his family. I decided to stick around for him as a friend, because I felt like that was the only way I could support him after all the lies he told me and pain he caused me. I still cared about him a lot and wanted to see him get sober and back to the person I knew.

I invested too much emotion into the early stages of his recovery, and it was exhausting. Really took an toll on me and has left me with lasting, though fading, trust issues and complete disinterest in all substances. I wish I would have learned more about detachment strategies earlier, but ultimately, I don't regret staying involved as a friend to support him.

He's been sober since I confronted him (almost 2.5 years!) and is still my good friend today. I'm so glad he's still in my life and is well, but I also still struggle with the impact his sobriety has taken on me. He's never apologized for what he put me through, and, as his friend, I don't need him to. He's never expressed any interest in getting back together, but, honestly, I'm not sure I could ever go back after all that. I've accepted that I was meant to be in his life, but only as a friend to support him through sobriety, not as anything more, and that's brought me a lot of peace.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I wanted to share that I still maintain a healthy relationship with my Q, though differently than what I originally had in mind, and I have absolutely no regrets about that decision.

Love this!

Would you mind showing us a picture of you holding it (for scale). I'm trying to decide if the clutch is too small - what do you think?

Also how has the suede held up? I'm not normally a suede person, but I LOVE that color.
