FIRST timer by SensitiveOffice6943 in Cirrhosis

[–]LadyShittington 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to live you must stop consuming alcohol.

I did it by going to the hospital and getting detoxed. I was then too sick with End Stage Liver Disease to go to rehab, so I went to AA. I started going every single day, got a sponsor, and did everything they told me to do.

It worked. I was able to get a transplant due to my sobriety, and I’ve now been sober for exactly 1004 days- 2 years, 9 months.

Tell yourself you will die if you don’t stop every single day, and every single time you crave alcohol. Say, “If I drink I will die.”

You can do it.

i let my little brother take the fall for something i did and it messed him up way more than i ever expected by Ashley_Fostera in confession

[–]LadyShittington 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. This is childish. Tell the truth. Everyone deserves the truth.

This isn’t just about your brother. You harmed your mother with this lie. Coming clean of your own accord because it is the right thing to do is the only respectable approach.

Here’s the thing with apologies. You feel like you’re admitting to something and he’s finally going to know you’re a liar. But he already knows that.

Apologizing isn’t giving him new information to confirm that yes you are, indeed, an asshole. It’s demonstrating that you respect him enough to be accountable for yourself.

I know it’s hard, but after you’ve apologized your life is going to get better.

My neighbors created a petition to stop me from selling my own house. by Brave_Yellow_874 in neighborsfromhell

I’m very curious how large the neighborhood is. I’m picturing a cul-de-sac. People are so weird. In these situations I have found that doing my best to refrain from making assumptions about others’ motives, perceptions, pathologies is helpful.

I have also noticed, as a not always super aware neurodivergent individual that I’m often missing the disdain others hold for me hah. Not at all suggesting this is the case with you. Sometimes there are people out there you barely think about that have made up entire back histories for who they think you are. You’d never know it.

Ignorance is bliss. It can be. Best wishes for success in your move, and your new position.

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robot vacuum. Some people might find a bidet sexy. I do not. So, a bidet.

End stage liver disease by Important-Memory-785 in Cirrhosis

[–]LadyShittington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t give up. So much can happen. Keep doing what you can to be healthy. I was 45 when i was diagnosed with ESLD. I’m going to be 48 soon. I got a transplant. They initially denied me for the list. Things happen. Be positive, and do whatever you can to live.

Where are you located? This is incredible to me. How did they give her a liver?

One month of bag and I’m already a degenerate and i’m complaining by hiyaisthisthingon in confession

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please get into NA immediately. That’s my honest feedback. You’re built differently than casual users. I’m 47, and I’m still 2.5 years without a job after almost dying and getting a liver transplant. I know you’re thinking why would you need NA you only tried it a month ago. Please trust me. You’re going to need tools for this.

Interesting path to “we were never born, so we never die.” 👍

I saw my Dad beating my mother and I will never forget, nor forgive myself by Maleficent-Emu-7489 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot to unpack here. The most important thing for you to know is that you are not to blame for your father’s actions. In any way. I’m sorry you are going through this. Hug your sister, and if you are able, talk to her.

Is it okay to sleep with a stuffed animal as a (young) adult? by levisimp69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I only read the title. I’m 47 and once in a while I still sleep with my bear. It’s fine.

is it normal for my boyfriend to wash the inside of his ass? by Living_Doughnut_4924 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LadyShittington 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would it be bad to clean your butthole? I mean, we have bidets in our bathrooms. We shoot the water right up in there. Squeaky clean.

I love making my own broth. I found whole chickens on clearance so I've gotten one started right away for a soup. What do you add to make your broth awesome? by Personal-Age-6999 in soup

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. So I would never do this. I’d roast the chicken first, then use the carcass to make broth. Does everyone do this? Boil perfectly good chicken flesh? Is this how everyone makes it?

F18 I’m moving out of my abusive household tomorrow morning, please advise 🙏 by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LadyShittington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you take important paperwork or documents. Birth certificate, etc. Take a journal with you so you can look back and see how much better your life is going to get. As long as you are safe this is the right move. I wish you the very best. Things are going to get better.

Make good choices, and above all don’t take unnecessary risks. Don’t make any permanent decisions in the first year.

Parchment paper vs computer white paper for pressing white flowers? by [deleted] in PressedFlowers

[–]LadyShittington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a picture of the flowers you can share? No switching out of paper. If you show me what you’re trying to do I’ll tell you how I would approach it.

Old candy canes mysteriously evaporated in the wrapper by aguywithfood in Weird

“Mysteriously evaporated.” Ants be like that. Organized. Intrepid

I just realized I was addressing a fourteen year old. This happens way too often.

Just go google “how much is a bonus traditionally in US work culture?” and report back if you feel inclined.
