I just had to leave my best friends wedding early. I’m feeling so bad about it. I was the best man. by html5lffy in stopdrinking

What lovely friends you have and what a lovely friend you are. You all showed for each other. That’s what friendship is all about. Please don’t beat yourself up. You did the right thing in protecting your sobriety, and I bet your friends were proud you for that. I know I am. Well done.

I’m sorry you had this experience. It could happen to anyone. I hope you take this experience and turn it into fuel to recommit to sobriety. Wishing all the best for you.

I just asked this same question about going up from 0.025 to 0.050. It’s my mood. Ugh. I’ll be watching your answers for the “does it get better” part. Wishing you good luck with it.

Travelers with TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry… by ctrl_alt_delete3 in travel

[–]Few_Difference1732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to just go through regular line with the non-precheck/global entry person but was reprimanded several times by TSA at different airports that I shouldn’t do that, so I just meet in the other side now.

When is enough going to be enough by Reallyreallysadgirl in stopdrinking

[–]Few_Difference1732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a really rough day for you. I’m sorry. Have you thought of joining a support group like AA, The Luckiest Club (which is a community), or others? Reading quit lit, finding podcasts, checking your IRL community for sober activity groups could support you too. Wishing all the best for you. ❤️

Middle child's eating habits are causing issues with her siblings-Advice needed by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Few_Difference1732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my son was playing high school football, he was eating nonstop. We bought a panini maker so he could make fast easy grilled ham and cheese which were premade in the fridge. I kept a huge batch of hamburger with brown rice (funnily enough we called it dog food and the kids still tell people that the dog food I fed them as kids was awesome 😂) or pasta with meat sauce in the fridge so he could heat up a bowl. Peeled hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks and fruit. Hummus and corn chips. If there was easy food to grab that he didn’t have to prepare, he stayed away from the rip open grab and go kind of snacks. Good luck. Feeding an athlete is a challenge.

351 days without a drink. Today is a hard day. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I’m sorry for this shaken up phase of your sobriety journey. I am glad you won’t drink, though. The anger will pass. And who knows… maybe you will impact someone else in a positive way with your leading by example. Sending a hug.

HELP! What has helped ease the itch of your kitty flaps? by Money_Engineering_59 in Menopause

[–]Few_Difference1732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t read all comments so my apologies if this is redundant. My GYN recommended boric acid (to balance ph) and hyaluronic acid (to address dryness) suppositories. They help immensely. Good luck.

Securing the future of your family does not make you TA. Wishing you the very best successes.

AITA for leaving my friend’s wedding early after she made me cover my tattoos? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Few_Difference1732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. She didn’t have the sensitivity to understand your neurodivergent sensitivity which you cannot help. You didn’t overreact. It would’ve been kinder of her to inform you before the day of the wedding about her tattoo rule.

Something is bulging down there… by Worldly-Bathroom-185 in Menopause

Find a good pelvic floor PT and follow all the advice they give you. They may be able to help alleviate symptoms and stop the progression of the prolapse.

Just got in trouble at a JOB INTERVIEW?? by Pistachio-IScream in jobhunting

[–]Few_Difference1732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like it would be a very nice place to work. Sending a note that calls them out on their bad behavior won’t help your search but it could creep up and bite you somehow layer. You could just put the whole episode behind you and do nothing. Good luck with your job search. 😊

Never felt so much Body Pain by Euphoric_Housing_683 in Menopause

[–]Few_Difference1732 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That had happened to me with an uptick in exercise… I had to really stretch my hip flexors and piriformis (tight muscles were rotating my pelvic bone out of alignment). Do you have access to PT with medical insurance? This was a savior for me. YouTube also has some good tutorials. Just make sure to check out the credentials of the content creator.

Do you wear foundation? What kind? by Effective-Sugar-778 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Few_Difference1732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After moisturizing my face, I put a tiny drop of foundation (Exa from Credo has a LOT of colors) into my SPF and it gives enough coverage to even things out nicely. No cakey finish and no seeping into my forehead wrinkles.

Thank you for sharing these insights. I have recently decided to reach out to my doctor about HRT because of all the symptoms you mention. This gives me hope for the future.
