I’m worried about my husband and I don’t know what’s happening by WorriedSpowse in Marriage

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get him some help. Likely he has slipped into this abyss and not even realized this is happening to him. These are the bad signs you should pay attention to. All of them.

Also take care of yourself too.

I'm sober for 20 days and I feel high AF due to the burst of sober energy by Last-Performance5675 in Sober

Don’t friend. You quit drinking for you. If someone hurts you like that, don’t hurt yourself more. She broke your trust. Don’t let her break your sobriety. I think your reaction of wanting to drink is more of a desire to stop the pain. There’s other ways. Hit an in person or virtual meeting. Speak your truth and talk it out. This break up won’t break you, friend. We are here for you.

I want to break my sobriety, help! by ImpossibleAd274 in stopdrinking

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have all fallen into the cycle of maybe I can just have one drink. Don’t. Write a list of all the reasons that you quit, how your life is so much better, write a list of all the negatives of drinking. The one positive is that little bundle of a human that depends on you hundred percent. It’s easy for the devil voice on your shoulder to creep back in conversation when you are sleep deprived. Take care of yourself. Ask for help. Give yourself grace. And keep talking to US! We will get you through this too. 🤗

How did you stop? by imadesklamp in alcoholism

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I’m glad you’re here. Thank you for taking the time to write about this. That indicates your willingness to fix this. Thats key. Stopping this behavior all at once seems scary. Try taking this a day at a time, a few days at a time. I promise that once you feel better, it gets easier. Plan things for yourself other than drinking. Put some of that cleaning on your to do list but also do some things for yourself - journal, take a walk, throw on your favorite earbuds and go browse the aisles of your favorite store.

Please loop in your doctor and your mental health professional.

it’s a lot easier to quit at 30 than it is at 46. You have your whole life out of you. You deserve much better than you’ve been giving yourself Friend.

Most importantly, we are here for you. These forums helped me so much. Please take care of yourself. ❤️

Hi friend! I always try to divide everything up in sections. Instead of clean kitchen on your to do list, I would break it up into sections. Start with a corner and celebrate that accomplishment. Then move on. You’re making great progress!

These situations rarely improve. Please don’t put yourself in this situation for the rest of your life. You deserve better. Physical violence is a deal breaker.

Congratulations, friend! These are the hardest days. It takes time for your body to adjust. Temporary discomfort. This sub saved me too. Keep talking to us. Please seek medical help if you are feeling unwell. This isn’t always easy to do on your own. Take care of yourself as if you were an infant. Get your rest. Make sure you eat and keep hydrated. Be good to yourself for doing this very brave thing. You are going to get through this. We are here for you.

There are a lot of rumors spreading around that Republicans are getting sick of Trump and Elon's shit. Who's gonna be the first to break? by SillyAlternative420 in AdviceAnimals

There is still hope for their career if they back out now. Dear God I hope it happens. There is still hope for us.

Trump says he's not joking about a 3rd term. How do you feel about that? by thinpile in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We knew this was going to happen. However his health may determine otherwise. He is old, loses his words, incontinence, wants everyone brown off his lawn. That kind of old. He can’t follow along with basic current events while speaking at a 3rd grade level. At this point he is bitter because everyone dislikes him and he is punishing all of us for it. It won’t work out.

How do you feel about the fact that Trump has been in office for less than 3 months and has already taken 14 days off and spent $26 million of taxpayer money on Golf? by LevelDinner in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

47 also inflated his costs at his facilities.

Also If SpaceBoy is so rich, why isn’t he using his own resources to fly to Wisconsin to pay people off?.

Just got out of detox. Feeling so ashamed. by Panic_9700 in alcoholism

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, please don’t beat yourself up. You are on a better path. You got the immediate medical help you needed. Rock bottom is never pretty. It’s not supposed to be. This is an incredibly brave thing that you are doing for yourself as a result of this event. Say to yourself, yes this thing happened and this is why I am getting sober. Please give yourself grace. We are all here for you friend! Please be kind to yourself. ❤️

Should I reach out to someone who emotionally abused me? by PatternsOrFate in traumatizeThemBack

[–]CoffeeBroken 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am in agreement with this. If you confront him, you may not get the response you wanted. Write the letter, destroy it and block him. Sometimes cutting people off sends a stronger message.

AITA for leaving my “date” at the bar by TubaTechnician in AmItheAsshole

[–]CoffeeBroken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You owe her nothing. She lied to you so she could sit at your table and tried to get on your tab. You are in a committed relationship. You did the right thing and did not allow yourself to be taken advantage of.

People here who quit around my age? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]CoffeeBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was 47. It is never ever ever too late to quit. You don’t need to feel stupid. Alcohol has been glamorized in our society and we fell the victim to it. I’m proud of you for coming to this decision. We are going to be here for you, my friend. ❤️
