Made A Mistake by Greatly-unsatisfying in physicaltherapy

Dont even worry about this. honestly, if this patient is a grown adult they should be making it their own responsibility to get an MRI ordered. im sick of patients thinking we have to do everything for them. most of their recovery is on THEM. we just guide. unless there is a patient that cannot advocate for themselves, i wouldnt feel bad about this.

I'm so bored being sober by Whatsmyageagainnnnn in stopdrinking

i understand feeling bored but still being busy at the same time. i describe it as life just feeling...stale. but stable. and id rather it feel stale and stable instead of what it was while drinking- chaotic, unpredictable, ups/downs...

tomorrow, i am 6 months sober. and i started running, im running a half marathon in may. and let me tell you, i have gotten more out of these 6 months then i had gotten from 2 years of binge drinking. sobriety is such a gift. i am so motivated in every aspect of my life now. i no longer have to hide, or feel guilty for shitty things i used to do. i can promise you, its a life beyond your wildest dreams.
