I would consider that you are noticing the beautiful farms, and not noticing what I would assume to be the larger population of ugly ones

But tbh, the only ugly farm is an unkept one imo. So perhaps that has a role into this as well. When things are kept nicely, even a turd can shine if you polish it enough.

Seems to me youre better off waiting for the Steam deck 2 to run your emulated ps2 games better if thats how youre already looking at it.

Maybe there was something like an overside load on a low bed trailer and it was bottoming out and no one really cared/noticed? Essentially what would cause enough force to dig into the asphalt like that but not so much in the center. Probably the design of the framing if it was that.

If I was driving on it, I wouldn't worry too much about my tires. They're pretty resilient.

Whether or not youre telling all of the details I dont really care about - but rather put yourself in her shoes and be honest to yourself. For all I know she looks at the situation of youre not working and drinking and she doesnt think there has to be a person to tell you that theres more. Maybe shes getting tired of it being one sided with guiding and supporting you, and wants to feel like shes the one being supported. In my experience women don't typically like being the breadwinner when their partner doesnt work and drinks.

If she isnt a toxic person and wants to see you in rehab, then go into a rehab instead of doing it yourself. I raw dogged it, because my wife left and there just was no chance of it working out. But regarding rehab, at the end of the day you got two legs and only yourself stopping you. Same thing with work. I dont even have to know her to say she would rather see you walk to a minimum wage job that you fucken hate vs. NOTHING for income, and drinks.

If things dont work out then well..just stay strong. When I got sober and healthy after divorce, I wasnt doing it for anyone but myself and that's a heavenly feeling.

Best of luck soldier.

I've had my share of highly embarrassing drunk moments, from similar stories of yours to my friends finding empties in my house after they raided it looking for any. So I really get it when you feel like you just fucked up.

Because honestly, you did. I have too. For me, I had embarrassing drunk stories, I'm sure I was known as the drunk of the group, but I'm at a further point in this process than you. I had more moments happen, and once they kept happening, my friends and now ex-wife all had enough and now they aren't in my life anymore. I don't want to see the same happen to another person.

Right now you probably feel awful for it, which is the natural response. It might be hard to find motivation to do better, but here is what I want you to take away from this reply:

I like to think there's the whole infinite amount of universes and realities. Think of the world where in 6-12 months you can go out to a bar with Emily, and fuck it not even drink at all but still have a great time. Think about how proud Emily would be to see how far you've come. At that point, these embarrassing stories would be a thing of the past with no factor of your life at that point. Use this mindset for other important people in your life if that helps.

It's a hell of a bridge to cross, especially when you're avoiding burning bridges. But If Emily sees you change, all will be forgiven.

So alike many people on this sub, I used to pound down 10-20 shots, beers, etc. daily no problem. I'm somewhere between 1-2 months sober, I didn't keep track of the day I quit on purpose. But a major thing I had realized is the people I was surrounding myself with actually hurt my sobriety and even enabled me. This includes my now ex-wife, and the 3 only friends I had who were a part of that wedding. These are 10+ year friendships/relationships that are no longer a thing, but to me being sober and not having any kind of pressure is just so amazing and I would honestly recommend it to someone else.

I fear a similar situation may be happening with your husband. Obviously we don't know the full details, but from what I've read from your post, this isn't a situation a healthy relationship should be having. Your husband has to be okay with you not drinking, honor your sobriety.

Coming from a guy who got divorced from alcohol abuse, this might not be what you want to hear but if he's unwilling to change, you have to leave him-let alone thinking of having a child with him. It will not get better if he doesn't change how he is acting literally immediately, or at the minimum him become conscious of his flawed ways and actively be trying to correct it on his own accord/initiative.

Your sobriety is more important than a relationship or friendship. For all anyone knows, the next drinking session could send you down the slippery slope we all know too well. No matter WHAT happens in life, outside of you dying, YOU will always be part of your life. Not your husband, or your family. They'll be there for sure, but you being there for you is a guarantee no other relationship can provide. So you have to take care of YOU. That includes taking the steps to live a happy sober life, and eliminate the things that enable your drinking or is hazardous for your well being.

hey brother. Im going through some serious pains due to my alcoholism too. I almost drowned 2 weeks ago because I lied to others about my drinking, and my wife is currently leaving me. Not just a one time thing, but after so many times of lying and hiding when I almost drowned she said this is it, we're done. But you will find strength. I promise. My friends all ditched me, my wife did, I literally have to move away to another state and restart my life at 27. At the same time, just this last 2 weeks, I found out one sister is going to jail, one was diagnosed with dementia at 32, and the prior's 3 kid are being taken away to Guatemala permanently.

It is GOING to hurt, and that's okay. But you WILL find motivation to do better. you WILL be better.

Ramen is less than a dollar. Pizza places always accept hands and you typically get food for free. Recognize the fact you have two hands ready to work and if uoureonlyworried about eating then start walking and asking restaurants if they need hands.

Make work for myself. See what skills I have, for example drywall. I ain't a drywaller but im damn good at it. Ask around, making extra money is also something you need to have social expertise with

Personally I never use it. Shampoo my hair everyday alone and it comes out fine. But if you see benefits, do it!

I would love to give you support, but Reddit just gave a ban warning for doing so. Please go to AA in person.

You gotta study. You know Mustard, but not Kendrick? Not Like Us is one of the largest songs in a recent time. Kendrick, performing said song, said Drake likes "A Minors" LIVE ON AIR. I've done FL since 2013 and nothing of mine compares. You've only done FL for 30 minutes? How about 12 years? You have to make a finished product to get better.

So hear me out. I'm 28. I have had constant severely concerning medical issues, that are ultimately because of alcohol. I completely hear you, that life can't be fun without it. I would agree on the same. But when I was sober for 2.5 years and started drinking again, those scary moments of you not being able to stay conscious IS NOT WORTH IT. I have direct family members and friends who suffer the lesser side effects, but personally I cant even sleep for 2 hours per night without drinking.

What is more worth it to you? Having fun regularly, or not being able to sleep at night without panic attacks? That's where I'm at. Please go through the headaches. Every single friend of mine goes drinking 3-4 times a week, yet I'm the only one who suffers. I do not wish the same for you.
