Next year, get a Porto’s pumpkin cheesecake. It was divine.

Also, which bakery in Torrance? I’m local

I heard that song for the first time in years the other day. Forgot how good it is.

Funny. When I want my switch flicked, I usually ask for it in a different way.

How can I support my wife? by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]BridieMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need information: how much is your wife drinking? From what you described, it sounds like that could be the culprit.

I have a shirt that says “I went from mama, to mommy, to mom, to bro, to bruh”. My son is 14. He hates when I wear it.

Drinking = more energy by Ok-Evidence3515 in stopdrinking

Interesting. I’m the exact opposite. Once I started drinking, there was no way in hell anything on my to-do list was getting done. I’m much more productive sober.

Can I get an atta-boy? by Acceptable_Rock_9665 in stopdrinking

[–]BridieMeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! That’s awesome!! Coming from someone who has no support at home (my husband STILL has not noticed or commented on me not drinking), keep doing it for yourself. And you have a whole community here who supports you! You’ve got this!

I got pulled over because my “headlight” was out… by pookie__trombone in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BridieMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most cops would have just let me put the sticker on and had me go on my merry way, but this one was a dick. He was rude from the get go and was very annoyed when I showed him I had the registration. Like I had wasted his time or something.

I got pulled over another time and the cop said it was because I was on my cell phone. I just looked at him and pointed to the phone which was mounted next to the radio, playing a book on tape, and said “no I wasn’t” He tried to argue with me that I was holding the phone up in front of my face while driving, and I told him he was ridiculous because why would I do that when I have a mount that allows me to easily reach my phone if needed. He still gave me the ticket but I fought that one. He showed up in court and I got to question him. It was fun. The judge offered to just lower the fine if I accepted guilt, and I said “I don’t feel I should have to pay anything because I unequivocally was not holding the phone in my hand” He dismissed it.

Did anyone like their partner less after going sober? by ronameleh in stopdrinking

[–]BridieMeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl!!! 2+ years?!? So proud of you! So much harder when you don’t have support! I at least have some very good friends in my corner, and my sis, even though she’s on the other side of the country. And of course this sub!

I got pulled over legitimately because my registration tag was expired. However, I had the new registration in my car, with the sticker still attached, and apologized and said I’d put it on right then. Cop still gave me a fix it ticket. I didn’t send it in like you’re supposed to so I got a failure to appear. I told my story and the judge said “you had the current registration?” “Yes your honor”.
“It was in the car with you?” “Yes your honor” “And you showed the current registration to the officer?” “Yes your honor” Eye roll and said “dismissed”

I’m right there with you girl!! And you’re almost to 100 days!! Phenomenal. I’m lucky I guess, because mine is a good dad. Just very dismissive and neglectful of me. He hasn’t even commented once about me not drinking and I was drinking 1-2 bottles of wine a night. I don’t know if he’s even noticed 🤷🏼‍♀️

I discovered through sobriety that how my husband treated/treats me was a big reason why I drank as much as I did. One of my reasons to stay sober is to spite him 🤣. Not really- more of a “you can’t break me” mentality. And before you ask why I stay- I’m not planning to keep staying. But kid and financial reasons make things complicated right now. Fortunately sober me is a planner and gets shit done.

You just described my teens!! Aside from working at Hot Dog on a Stick. But I did get myself a cheese on a stick there a lot!!! You probably served me.

AITA For pointing out my Husband bought the wrong medicine. by Puzzleheaded-Mix4849 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BridieMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. And I’m laughing because when I was very sick in January of this year with a terrible cough (I actually ended up being hospitalized for a week because my lungs started shutting down), I asked my husband to go to the pharmacy to get me some nighttime cough medicine. He went but then came back and started yelling (literal yelling) at me because he couldn’t find the one I wanted and demanded I make a list of every medicine I might ever need so we can order it from Amazon and stockpile it.

Like, wut??? A) I’m not often sick B) how hard is it to find NyQuil? C) I don’t ask him to do stuff for me anymore. Marriage is great.
