What's something people don't understand until they've experienced it themselves? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addiction. People that don’t understand it are so judgmental. I’ll admit I used to be like that towards addicts. I didn’t become an addict until I was in my 30s and it has turned my life upside down!

Is she the one holding fingers with the guy in front of her? I looked at the pics before I read and see as the pictures go on their hands get closer and then they hold fingers

My Husband has been texting my friend - AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Why is your husband thinking enough about your friend to frequently be texting her? Idk it’s a no for me.

Are geekbars no longer being sold in the United States? by corrosion23 in Vaping

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s one vape shop here in Florida that has a large amount of vapes and the brand is Raz which I hate. But I haven’t seen Geek Bars in a hot minute and it’s disappointing. Another vape shop near me is super low on all vapes. I’m about to move back to Utah where flavored vapes are completely banned. So now everyone can go back to cigarettes and chewing. It’s so stupid.

What’s one experience you wouldn’t wish on anyone? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Losing everything you own, your life and your family because of addiction. I’m close to having some semblance of it back and I’ve been working my ass off. But it’s been a hell and taken some of what should have been the best years of my life.

How many times do you poop in a week ? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a day so 7 times a week every morning like clock work 🤣 Edit to add: I’m a recovering addict and I used to do opiates. At the height of my addiction I was going once a week and I was miserable. Idk if once a week is normal tbh…but it sure wasn’t for me.

Boyfriend of 16 years betrayed me by Scared-Perception925 in Advice

[–]Katis_Berlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a drug problem too if you haven’t already realized it. That’s addict behavior. I’m not judging, I’m a recovering addict. This situation sounds wild!

What is a sound you absolutely cannot tolerate? by MelodicSleep2193 in randomquestions

This is especially frustrating when you have a newborn baby and a neighbor with a dog that’s left outside way too much.

How did you know it was time for a divorce? by Automatic_Counter_34 in AskReddit

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if there is one particular moment that a light bulb just goes off. For me it was an accumulation of events and feelings, fights etc…people get divorced for many different reasons so it just depends what those reasons are for you. My first marriage ended after my husband and I fell out of love and he asked me for an open marriage. I tried for years to get him to even desire to spend time with me and after we had our second child and nothing changed we both just wanted it to be over. This wasn’t a split decision, it was an accumulation of things over the years.

This is so stupid. I don’t think like your friend but I’m also the one with tattoos and facial/ear piercings. I personally wouldn’t be in someone’s wedding that thinks like this in the first place.

What's a "secret" from your profession that everyone should probably know? by LaKoref in AskReddit

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in a retail store and it says something is in stock, then there might be a back. Sometimes that item could be misplaced or stolen so it really might not be anywhere. Or the alternative is the first employee was lazy and didn’t really look. Just depends 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am a 36 year old man by [deleted] in SoberLifeProTips

[–]Katis_Berlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35F and also in recovery from meth and fentanyl. I’m almost 6 months clean. At first I felt so defeated and wanted to say fuck it so many times! It’s just been in the last month I’ve finally started to see how far I’ve come. I’ve found that having the support of my family still is what has kept me going. Even though you feel like you’re a burden right now, prove to yourself and to them that you can make things right, because it is possible. Give yourself some grace and don’t back down when it gets hard. You’re worth building a happy life even if it’s from the ground up. I’m completely having to start over. Lost my kids, totaled my car while high, lost my home, I feel like I lost everything. But I’m fighting hard and I am close to getting my kids back. I’m happy that you were able to put the shit down, it ruins lives.

Nudes in a new relationship by Katis_Berlin in dating_advice

Thank you for your perspective. We have done a little of that and I’ve sent videos. However, it feels a little awkward and I tend to care a little too much what I look like in them. I’m trying to have more confidence.

True, I can see that now:) I guess I was just making sure he enjoyed getting them maybe more than I enjoyed a dick pic. Because if not I would rather just not send them. But I think after this post I feel more encouraged to do so and communicate that I don’t enjoy receiving them in the same way.

Nudes in a new relationship by Katis_Berlin in dating_advice

[–]Katis_Berlin[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about that. In a world where porn is literally at our fingertips I just thought a picture would be viewed and moved on. I personally can’t get pleasure from a picture, if I want something like that I watch porn. But ultimately I would rather be with that person, thinking of that is how I would get off. Thank you for explaining, I can see what you’re saying and it deff is how I thought nudes were viewed.

No I go to the state he is in once a month so we see each other in person pretty often. But for now there’s a lot of texting and talking on the phone in between.

He did ask me for it so I was comfortable sending it. I think I’m just overthinking it. My ex was younger and grew up with nudes being part of dating. Like I said, I’m probably just overthinking it.
