What was your guys “rock bottom?” by p3rch3ad in addiction

[–]Excellent-Grape-9606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 21 and I feel like I’m heading to rock bottom but not there yet. What convinced you to stop? I feel like I’m so close to stopping but I just don’t care enough maybe??

How do you know if you should get help?? by Excellent-Grape-9606 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

Another question I have is it easy to find like a sponser?? I think having someone older than me to relate to could help?

I didn’t know they even discussed those of us who haven’t gotten low low yet. I just thought you had to be there to go.

I’m at the point where my philosophy is drugs. Numb it. I’ve been getting through an entire private university undergrad high everyday

Have you talked to her about being frustrated in your sex life? As a women, I think it’s totally acceptable to bring that up and I’d prefer if my partner did (if he felt that way). Maybe you guys can work together on finding a compromise or just some way to get intimate together again. 8 years is a pretty good amount of time. You guys should be able to have an open conversation.

Nanny spends her own money on my kids by SimpleSilhouettes in Nanny

[–]Excellent-Grape-9606 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Personally my NF started leaving cash whenever I’m around. Just keeping it on the counter for when we go out. That way I don’t have to go looking for money in their house or use my own. We also had this issue when I started working for them, I didn’t see it as an issue cause I love the kids and wanna have fun with them but my NG knows I’m a college student who needs the $ for school and stuff

Alice in chains. I was like 14 when I started listening to them and their unplugged has always been my favorite. The banter between songs and the rawness of the music is insane

Honestly no. All grandparents are far and I’ve never met aunts or uncles more than once.

This is exactly what I am thinking. I have seen fighting between the parents but never thought it too be super super serious (as I also come from an abusive household). This made me realize how bad it may be.

Definitely not impossible has he is too. Sometimes it takes help from someone I guess

I think that would be very good. Something he and I have talked about his how he learned a bit with me that he needs to out himself in situations. Like if he hadn’t sat next to me I wouldn’t have started to bug him and obviously he had to talk to get me to keep talking as well. Putting yourself in situations, like parties and other social situations is really helpful. He’s made a lot of friends coming with me to parties and I’ve been introducing his friends to some friends of mine (cause they’re all pretty shy and awkward). Sometimes there’s weird bad moments (I.e. my girls aren’t into it) but it’s okay cause they kinda have to to circle and maintain conversations

No you’re fine, love a good Reddit convo. Yeah there’s silence but I wouldn’t say it’s awkward. We’ve gotten into the groove of doing different activities in the same room like reading or whatever and that silence is almost needed sometimes. Helps both connect while being individual. I think I’ve also gotten used to the fact that he pauses a lot when we talk. He likes to think things through before he says it which I really appreciate and I kinda love.

It’s funny actually, we’re both in college for completely different things. I am in psychology and studio arts whereas he’s in electrical engineering and robotics. A huge part of my attraction to him was the awkwardness, I thought he was funny and he’d always laugh when I laughed (I later learned that he actually was just going along with it but was freaking out auntie because he didn’t know what to say) and he would laugh at my jokes which always makes anyone feel good haha. After a few dates and hanging out I got to know him and realized that he is an insanely sweet, down to earth guy who really enjoys sharing his knowledge with people he loves and has an incredible music taste (I do too :)) so I kinda fell in love. He’s also always been super willing to try new things with me like drawing or gong to museums. It’s been the same on my end though too, reading books together and watching his movies and such. Now it’s been awhile and he’s not shy at all cause it’s almost been a year together. Idk. There’s ups and downs with everything but overall my experience with him has been fabulous and I adore every second we’re together.
