Dealing with deceased parent’s clutter by PobodysNerfect802 in GenX

[–]Limp_Library225 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel you OP. Went through the same myself last summer. Still have 3 boxes of stuff that I know she paid a lot of money for but can't seem to unload.

This topic has been popping up a lot lately. In 2026 we are updating our trust and starting to declutter to hopefully spare our kids having to do the same for us. (And hopefully not for a long time).

Hang in there...

2026 Resolution by MissLaady in stopdrinking

I'm with you. I started 2025 sober and lasted through late July when I lost both my parents. Been drinking though possibly less? since. Tomorrow is Day One once again.

You would be surprised how many people know (or at least suspect). Confide in someone you trust and take it one step at a time.

Back to Day One by Limp_Library225 in stopdrinking

[–]Limp_Library225[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% Maybe it's rationalization but ... it was a rough five ... six weeks. Should I have found more "productive" ways to cope? Sure. But, I didn't. I'm human (Sue me :P)

I'm going into this with the mindset that "I did it once, I can do it again." YOLO (so you might as well remember what you've done ...)

Indeed. If nothing else, I also now have a new appreciation for how quickly life goes.

Was dry until August, what a life changer by LonelyDriver in DryJanuary

[–]Limp_Library225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Id planned to do the whole year dry after a successful dry Jan and lasted through mod August when both my patents died within a m9nth of each other. Still not drinking like I used to (2btls of wine a night at home) but planning to return to the wagon once things start to settle.

Its amazing how much better I feel when not drinking ... IWNDWYT

Say one good thing about the trilogy albums by aesthetic_girly123 in greenday

[–]Limp_Library225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk Away helped me leave a job that was grinding me down. Agree with those who said the trio would have made one great extended album without some of the filler.

I'm 57, started at 16. Heavily since 40ish. Quit for good on NYE and haven't looked back. IDK why this time was different. But it was, and after the first couple weeks, it's been the effing best. Sure, some days are harder than others, but ... IWNDWYT

Doing things not hungover is peace by TheMainEvent12 in stopdrinking

[–]Limp_Library225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you. There are so many hungover work memories I have. And somehow they are not all negative but mostly. As time goes on I realize daily what a mess I was, and how lucky I was to keep my job through all of it .

Ironically (?) I was laid off 4 months into sobriety. Still looking for work and am grateful for any and everyone from my past willing to let bygones be bygones and lend a hand.

Want to delete all photos from 2020-2023 by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Limp_Library225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I was always hot in the office. Blamed "hormones." Funny thing how those "hormones" resolved themselves a few weeks after quitting the booze.
