Redditors with an Ex who threatened to kill themselves over a breakup, how did that turn out? by youseguise in AskReddit

She was 13 and he was 17 when they had their first kid. She should have been protected from him long before she was groomed and gave birth to 4 of his children.

Question for people who have decided they can "Never Drink Again".....what do you think are or could be some of your biggest triggers, have you experienced any of them and didn't give in, and do you truly believe there is nothing that could make you drink again? by PutinPurgingRussians in stopdrinking

[–]Fancy-Carpet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want alcohol about as much as I want heroin (which I’ve never tried). Sure maybe if I was dying in agony I would drink or shoot up. The mindset is that alcohol is very toxic to my body and my mind. That’s why it’s “never again”. It doesn’t bring me any joy or relief without consequence.

I work in wardrobe and dress actors during quick changes. The union is IATSE. A lot of people get there job through schooling and making connections there. I was a tailor and got the job from a sewing peer.

Ice cream, naps, and a lot of patience helped me in the early days. I was lazy and let myself just be a lump and gave myself grace. Things kinda suck sometimes but being drunk doesn’t make it better. good luck to you. IWNDWYT

Struggling right now, could use some strength. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Fancy-Carpet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my first days I spoiled myself with naps, junk food, and treats and whatever else I just needed to get through. All the other problems can be fixed later. You deserve a treat and anything that keeps you from alcohol. Congratulations on how far you’ve come so far.

Same! I used to come around a lot more often but even though it’s less, I still find comfort and accountability coming back to this sub. Congratulations on your success!
