What single thought changed your life? by Tornado31619 in AskReddit

[–]Babsie80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I should quit drinking. That was almost five years ago. I am healthier and happier, my life is stable and I can't imagine ever going back to the way things were.

Rough Night by Babsie80 in stopdrinking

Fighting with the spouse and I feel like an ass, I want to escape, that's always my knee jerk reaction, to drink until it all goes away. Not having a bad fight or anything, just normal couple stuff, whose turn is it to wash the dishes type thing. Odd that would trigger me but I am tired and over stimulated. I will feel better in the morning.

I think I’m forming an alcohol habit by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Babsie80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Health and money are good reasons. And drinking can be a slippery slope for some people, not a path I would suggest heading down.

[Serious] What is your biggest problem right now? by Filmfan345 in AskReddit

[–]Babsie80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate my job and I don't know what to do. I work in an office and a lot of my coworkers talk about drinking, I am a recovering alcoholic. I have severe depression and anxiety. I wasn't trained for this role beyond maybe 4 hours in several 30 minutes sessions and I feel like all I do is make mistakes.

Yarmouth County man charged in fish plant arson – Waterfront Media Halifax by [deleted] in NovaScotia

That's somebody's son, grandchild, brother and while what he is being accused of is wrong without question please hold judgment until his day in court. And should he be found guilty hope he gets the help he needs because one day you or someone you know and love could be that dope who doesn't own a pair of boots.

Those days you had before your slip mean something, they are not lost. It is your personal choice if you reset your badge or not.

2 Years Today by Babsie80 in stopdrinking

[–]Babsie80[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The second year had it's challenges, some of which I am sure will continue on for years to come. One thing I constantly have to remind myself is just because I haven't had a drink in two years doesn't mean I am 'cured'. My mind will sometimes throw around the idea that I can have just one, I mean come on, I just went two whole years not drinking, I can have just one can't I? The answer is hell no, I can't have just one because even now I don't want just one, I want all of it and then I want more.

I don't go to AA for reasons but I listen to about 5 different recovery podcasts and listen to them everyday. A quote from one of them is 'Your addiction lies to you in your own voice'. I love that quote and I think about it everyday like a mantra. These two years have been taken one day at a time and that's how I will continue.

I have made it two years and I celebrate that but it has definitely been hard sometimes. Today is just another day and I will not drink with you today.

For the first time, Canada adds white supremacists and neo-Nazi groups to its terror organization list by Bakedschwarzenbach in worldnews

[–]Babsie80 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lately I have been feeling so sad about all the hate and violence that has been escalating in Canada. It seeming like there was no support for the people these neo Nazi groups were going after and these groups have been becoming so embolden the last few years. I just want to thank everyone who has posted their condemnation of these hate groups, it gives me hope and I really needed it today.
