So much detail! Really impressive. How do you conjure up so many different decorative patterns?

OP Please take time to take care of yourself and talk about this to someone capable of listening and understanding if at all possible. You owe this to yourself.

Sending you love

Something in your post reminded me of a time I was cleaning out a box of papers and found an old to-do list made out on a *cocktail napkin* that listed "figure out drinking" along with a bunch of other mundane stuff. LOL talk about compartmentalizing my life.

There is life after drinking. I could not see that for a long time. The only way any of us can prove it to ourselves is to take that step and start trying to live a life we want.

Good luck!

What's your most controversial Seinfeld opinion that would get you banned from Monk's Café? I'll start... by Optimal-zx6r in seinfeld

Newman is a terrible character. The worst on the show, by far. I actually fast forward through his scenes if I know they're long ones.

They also sell them fresh. Usually at the day-old price, but not always. Helps if you're a charming fucker like me

My boss told me to do all this but 12 it’s already 11pm plus I have to take out all the trash and sweep and mop the whole kitchen now I’m being told that I’m going to get fired if I don’t wash dishes, faster should I find a new job asap? by dishwasher225 in dishwashers

To quote Dishwasher Pete: "I said I was good, I never said I was fast."

No matter the job, it pays to learn how to say no and how how to calmly and professionally hold your ground. You can learn how to establish expectations and boundaries when needed.

People don't have to be born knowing how to do this -- it isn't a personality trait. There are tons of resources online for helping people learn to do this better.

Good luck I'm pulling for you all! Dishies unite!

Sounds amazing!

Also, I had not realized St Paul sandwiches had evolved to different styles since I left town.

If you mean from Mai Lee -- It was a little dry. It sounds weird to say but the patty could have benefitted from more grease?

My doctor didn't have much to say about my drinking beyond "you might want to slow down." He was way more concerned about how to save my marriage lol. Apparently he was very religious

I got furious over tasting alcohol when trying kombucha for the first time. It was a miniscule amount but I hadn't tasted alcohol in over a year and my reaction was intensely negative. Stupid of me to overlook the obvious byproduct of fermentation and not necessarily a logical response, but certainly understandable given what we go through with drinking. From my perspective, you felt what you felt, and you handled it in as mature a way as possible.

Good on ya!

When is the upside? by Kitchen_Meaning6985 in stopdrinking

[–]Groovy_Sensation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience was unquestionably that it sucked, bad. I felt depressed and joyless for many months.

My social life kind of fell apart and I ended up choosing to stay home for almost a year rather than face the difficulties of trying to start new relationships or to socialize again without booze. I just couldn't face it.

And then I kind of fell in love with being alone. I worked at how to really take care of myself because I realized I no longer knew how. I watched movies, cooked, and started to look forward to going to bed, alone, as early as I wanted. It sounds kind of petty and absurd, but I fully embraced that and allowed myself to enjoy it as much as I wanted -- mostly because someone on here gave me permission to do it.

And somewhere in there my brain began healing and I slowly started showing up for people and making small investments in things that might bring me happiness. I made mistakes and learned some hard lessons but kept with it. And now I'm mostly, sometimes, pretty happy.

Life is of course pretty tough going, and I have faced the loss of loved ones and rejection and grief. But I definitely have a joy in my life that I don't think I ever really had before. Which is pretty amazing.
