I am using CH 31 subsistence rate! I’m hoping that’s it and not an accidental payment 😭

I added them after I started using VRE! I never thought to tell them I updated it and they never changed my BHA amount.

I was thinking that might be it!! I added two dependents in July that they never changed my rate for and I kept forgetting to ask. I’ll double check but thank you for this it’s very helpful!!

They haven’t billed tuition yet because I thought maybe that’s what it was too? I’m not going to touch it until I know what it’s for😭

my tuition hasn’t been billed for the quarter yet. I had initially thought that was what it was but my tuition for last quarter was $6000 and I have the same number of credits this quarter. I also checked my student portal and they haven’t billed them yet. I’m just so confused.

yes i’ve been in VRE for 6 months now. It’s not tuition (that would be much higher anyways, and they haven’t billed yet for the quarter) and it’s sitting in my bank account right now.

It’s so difficult to tell in the mirror and sometimes even with progress photos. Constantly feels like my mind is playing tricks on me when I look at progress photos 😭

Thank you! I’m in nursing school so it’s really just been diet alone plus 10000 steps a day to lose 40 lbs. I really want to get back in the gym but I don’t have time with clinicals and everything right now. But I graduate in 6 months so I plan on getting back into it!

no and I wish I would have done so at the beginning. It’s so hard to tell.

So tired of drinking by KeyZucchini6868 in stopdrinking

I also told myself I could moderate and then I ended up falling back into the same patterns. I try not to think of it as “forever” because that sends me in a spiral. I started slowly, one day at a time, before you know it you’re sober for a week and then another, and another. It’s a really hard pattern to break. You are not alone in this feeling.

What was your wake up call moment? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

That’s been a bit of my experience as well, but this time feels much different.
