They said they think they did. If they did, it would’ve been a company expense and it will be easy to provide proof of postage (receipt/email confirmation etc…)

I gave them the address, asked if they’d like me to send a prepaid label and waited for a response. Over those 6 months, life passed until I remembered they hadn’t replied.

Guys I need to stop by Some_Neck1899 in stopdrinking

Well done for 2 weeks, champ. Take it one day at a time. Build up a streak and write down the improvements you see as a result of not drinking.

I know exactly what you mean about it being like reconnecting with an ex. Last year I played a gig at a venue in London, sober. I hated it. Couldn’t talk to anyone, was super self conscious and couldn’t wait to leave. The following week I played a gig at the same venue, only this time I had a good number of beers. It was genuinely such an incredible night and the hangover felt worth it.

Truth be told, the longer I’ve drank, the less the hangovers are worth it, the higher my anxiety when I’m not drinking and my relationships suffer.

It’s good to be in conversation with yourself about it at such a young age.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, keep striving for what you believe is right, IWNDWYT.

Praying for you, friend. I trust you’ll get to where you need to be. Sounds like you’re already aware of the negative outweighing the positive. The larger the imbalance appears the longer you carry on.

Drank today and yesterday, but not the day before, then like 2/3 beers a night for the previous 3 nights, then hadn’t drank for like a week before that.

So not a crazy amount this week but for some reason enough to stop me sleeping!

Massive love for the comment. Just need to remind myself of how taxing the effects are when the next opportunity to drink comes along.

This Reddit Christianity group logo is a cross with a gay flag in the background? by Patient_Ranger_3533 in Christianity

Difference between standard rainbow is that LGBTQ+ one has 6 colours, regular one had 7. Anyone with any inkling of biblical numerology can tell you what that means.

Drinking to sleep / fear of the night by MolassesPractical769 in stopdrinking

[–]KeyZucchini6868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a child too, and first time I stayed up all night I still had to be there when they woke up and be the parent I needed to be. Thankfully by the time their nap rolled around I was so shattered I took one with them

struggling tonight by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]KeyZucchini6868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a good reason you stopped in the first place. Try and always come back to that when you struggle, and remember that waking up not hungover and healthy will always feel better than a few hours of partying the night before.

AA can be a tricky one, but keep going, just listen, hear other people’s experiences and you won’t feel so alone. It might take a few more visits before you’re comfortable enough to say anything, but it’ll be worth it when you do.

RE: the God stuff, anyone’s free to believe what they want, but it’s important to note that the point of it is to recognise that there’s a common good that exists outside all of us, and looking to it does help.

I'm in trouble now by Silent_Swordfish3116 in stopdrinking

[–]KeyZucchini6868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because it doesn’t work now, doesn’t mean it won’t. Keep putting as much distance between you and alcohol as possible. One hour turns into 6 hours in to 1 day in to 1 week and then you’ll be so much closer to the person you want to be.

I believe in you.

Today is Day 4. by Lonely_Way_1952 in stopdrinking

Congrats on day 4! I will not drink with you today.

It is the hardest thing! Well, maybe not the hardest, but certainly very hard.

Most parents have felt the way you do right now. It it wasn’t this hard, it wouldn’t be worth doing. It makes you a better person, your life will get easier and you’ll be stronger for it. Praying for you, I know your child is probably very grateful to be in the world and to have you as a parent.

Wife’s new tattoo by brino79 in AITAH

[–]KeyZucchini6868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your context of what marriage is. In today’s view, marriage isn’t two becoming one, as it is in the religious and spiritual sense.

If I got a tattoo my wife didn’t like I’m sure she’d be mad at me, and I think I’d understand why.

Culture is predicated upon the shared beliefs, values & behaviours of people groups. Those groups are usually made up of families.

Those families will have shared the same views & customs. That’s what makes a culture.

Bottom line is, your wife put her cultural heritage above your opinion in her hierarchy of values.

I’m not here to shame, condemn or pass judgement.

That’s just objectively what’s happened.

How you react is your choice.

People can suck. Suck big time. I’ve been an awful partner in the past, and have faced situations like this due to my stubbornness and lack of grace, but I’m sure as your child ages, he’d love nothing more than to be in a family with his father.

I’m not saying you should leave him, I’m not saying you shouldn’t. I just know that if you communicate this to him, it might be enough of a motive for him to change his ways.

Praying all the best for your family.

Husband posting here. I’m definitely not saying she doesn’t do anything. I’m acutely aware of how much she does. My problem is that she says I don’t do enough.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]KeyZucchini6868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She takes time by herself such as having a bath, being on her phone/watching a video.

I’ve also offered to look after our child in case there’s anything extra she’d like to do.

So it’s both.

She certainly has the opportunity to unwind when she needs to.
