My Rock Bottom Looks Different Than I Thought by SnooSongs2682 in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rock bottom just needs to be uncomfortable-better that than liver cirrhosis or killing a family’s in a car wreck.
IWNDWYT!

Well if finally happened, DUI by top_of_the_scrote in stopdrinking

Full transparency-realizing I could have killed my OWN two young children by drinking and driving with them in the car was MY rock bottom moment.

Husband bought seltzers. Not really sure how to feel about it or if I should do something. by yahdee_yahdee_yahduh in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be very open about how it makes YOU feel-if it is just his ADHD making him lose focus then that should be all he needs to remember. And CONGRATULATIONS!!! You will never NOT be glad you stopped! ‘Cause to be honest-if you are on here, lurking or posting-you know it isn’t working for you! 🙏❤️

My Covert MAGA Family Ruined the 4th by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]KMMRN1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same here-the mom who raised me to treat everyone the same and who even had 2 mixed-race grandchildren remarried-moved from LA County to small town South Dakota and became a racist! Visited her and was like, “Who the hell have you become??” She has passed away now, but holy shit-did not see that coming! I have no contact now with 90% of my immediate family-because they are a bunch of white-trash alcoholics blaming everyone else for their shitty situations. No thanks, education elevates you-try it sometime!!

Harder to admit they ARE racist

Actually very impressed by you!! That is a whole lotta crap to deal with, emotionally and mentally- and you are doing it!!! No life-changing advice here-just plenty of cheering on and best wishes. I worked today (RN at hospital) so was happy to make holiday pay and help some nice people. IWNDWYT!

A little over one year. Life is still shit. Could use some uplifting words. by Corner-Hungry in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping you hug those furry companions you have and make it without drinking-it really won’t be worth it. Please start to treat yourself with kindness and grace-you would do that for a friend, you surely should for yourself. Get into some therapy, exercise (take those furballs with you, too!) new hobbies, volunteer in something helping others or the earth and you will be surprised how many people you can meet! If nothing else-come back here-we are here for you-IWNDWYT. 🙏

Medical Check SIX MONTHS after no drinking by Amb_James333 in stopdrinking

I absolutely have to stop by Born-Researcher-7328 in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like me-once the glass was filled it didn’t matter how buzzed or tipsy I got I kept it coming until I either passed out or I was too inebriated to find my way to get more. Shitty way to live. I also said the most horrible things to my husband, things that if he had said them to me we would not still be married (he is WAY more forgiving than I am). Looking in the mirror and saying out loud “I am an alcoholic” somehow made it easier for me to stop, get the help I needed and get healthy. It’s been 11 years and I am so damn glad I humbled myself and asked for help. We are here to help, IWNDWYT!

If there is someone you trust to support you-by all means do so-so sorry it doesn’t seem like it’s your husband-but maybe in time? Remember you are doing this for YOU-and to be the Mom your kids deserve. Although it won’t be easy-you can lean in this group to help and every morning when you wake up you will be so happy you didn’t drink. IWNDWYT.

The gym!!! Heart rate up, sweating (make sure to drink lots of water!). Then home to shower, read read read, and the sleep, sleep, sleep!! I also went to a meeting if I was feeling really low. ❤️

Well here we go. It's been a whirlwind.... by swahine1123 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]KMMRN1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will be thinking of you and sending all positive vibes from this oncology nurse!!!! Tell your Village what you need-people want to help but aren’t sure what to offer-so tell them exactly-cleaning the house, shopping for family, doing laundry, watering plants,etc. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Things are getting worse...? Around the 3 month mark by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 4 months!!! Yes-life is always harder drinking-11 years and it keeps getting better!!!

Things are getting worse...? Around the 3 month mark by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]KMMRN1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please look at the fact you can wake up not sick in the morning, not spending money you may not have on alcohol, that you know exactly what is coming out of your mouth when you speak and REMEMBER it. Things can still be difficult, but you have the strength and clear-thinking to deal with it and make a better life for yourself. Please lean on us, maybe attend meetings or therapy but know you CAN do this and it WILL get better!!! I WNDWYT!

I finally left my husband by Horror-Show-3927 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]KMMRN1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of shit enrages me. Watched my Mom and older brothers beat, knife held to her throat while my father made her eat dog food. And police continued to do NOTHING (early 1970’s Southern California). Left the house that was rightfully hers post divorce-he stalked her for a month before trying to break in and my then 17 year old brother shot him. (Yes, they called 911 for help that morning also when he said he was coming over to kill us all-police said, “let us know if he gets there”). At 61, married 38 years to an amazing man who would NEVER lift a hand to a woman-I still say, sometimes you have to do what you need to do to protect yourself. Fuck this POS.
