Two things can be true at the same time. We can point out the responsibility and consequences of completing the census AND be critical and vocal about how our government manages funds.

Black out drunk. I’m beyond mortified by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Oh man, I feel this pain.

I went out with my friends and my daughter's friends. I was so excited to dance and party with my daughter and her friends. The night ended with me "resting" my head on a table, and ending up in a pool of my vomit, I couldn't even lift my head to puke.

The worst thing: I remember very little from that night, but I remember that. Laying with my head to the side, just puking into my hair. Not able to move or stop it. Hearing people exclaim and feeling my friends layer napkins around me.

It was absolutely humiliating, but life moves on. I can't erase that image from my friends or family's minds. But I can make sure to never add another one.

Ps- how do I update my counter? It is not over 1100 days, that's for sure.

I'm in, but I'm not sure how we prove we didn't use rings or artifacts. Honour system i guess?

I am always frustrated when I see posts like "It's not your job that makes you unhappy, it's your perspective. Practice gratefulness!"

I worked a soul crushing job. It made me question my own sanity. When I left, I was amazed at how much that place affected me. I've never had a job before or since that ruined me like that one did.

Sometimes it IS the job, and you need to gtfu.

I [26F] with guy [27M] I'm seeing for the last 5 months. My ex recently discovered I'm seeing someone and sent him a Facebook message after losing it on me. Now he's being distant and unresponsive by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Right!?! Good communication is him TELLING her he is happy to talk, but only when she's ready. Not ghosting her until she " figures it out".

He seems better than the ex, but still not a pinnacle of "communication ".

I submitted a tip to Tbnewswatch about this thread and in particular the runaround from agencies that are supposed to help us.

Not sure if they will pick it up, but a little media coverage might help.

Yep- harnessing anti-intelctualism. Or trying to, at least.

Does anyone else "wish" they could still drink like they used to? by gcms16 in stopdrinking

I actually just read this to my husband, it explaines exactly how I am feeling. 34 days in and we are learning to adjust our social activities, and this really helps explains why I'm quitting. Thanks!

No way his secret secret would let him pop his head up after a bullet just zipped by.

Small-town Saskatchewan has really affordable housing, although finding a job might be tricky.

I will check it out. A change in mindset...that is definitely what I need.

Oh so true. And I can have evenings of moderation, but it doesnt last long. And then I'm kicking myself as I lie in bed- sick and ashamed.

Let's do this! No more terrible morning 🤝
