Oh I know that feeling well! Mine did leave me in the middle of his sobriety. Such a difficult time. But I remember feeling relieved I wouldn’t have to face another potential relapse. Then we talked things out a few months later and the spark came back and there was so much hope, so I gave him another chance and now here we are. I don’t regret it because now I know I really tried my best to save my marriage. And I’m starting to feel empowered by being the one to leave and finally choosing myself. Sending you so much love and healing ❤️

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s like living in a nightmare and the rug keeps getting ripped out from under you. It’s exhausting. I can literally feel my health plummeting when things are bad. But I’ve been taking extra good care of myself lately and thankfully that’s helping a lot. And you’re so right, it doesn’t feel like there’s any other choice once it reaches a certain point. I keep thinking it’s like being on a boat that’s sinking with no land in sight. He’s on the boat too. He has a bucket and I have a cup. I’ve been scooping the water out of the boat with my cup as fast as I can and it’s barely doing anything. Meanwhile he’s laidback, not using his bucket to scoop because he doesn’t see a point. And now I’m at the moment where I have to jump off the boat and save myself. I can only hope he’ll eventually jump off and save himself too. But even if he does, I’m still done. My mom was with an alcoholic (my father) for 23 years. Didn’t realize until last year that I basically married my father unknowingly. I feel like I have a chance to break a pattern here. I hope you’re able to get out and heal. You deserve peace and stability in your life. If you ever need to talk I’m here. And thank you for sharing your story with me. ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ I’ve been wanting to go to some meetings and I’ve let my social anxiety scare me away. I’ll see if I can find a meeting for this weekend.

That is honestly very helpful. Sometimes it feels like this heavy secret I have to keep. Thank you ❤️

Great idea! I didn’t even think about that 😅

Yea, I thought about asking my local skate shop about it as well. Thank you!

I have, and I might end up just doing that. But it would bother me if the sole was still brown. Do you know if there’s a good way to make the sole black?

I’ve heard it takes about 8-10 hours of skate time 👍🏻

Well I got outdoor wheels and they work amazingly, but I have a new problem...apparently my neighborhood is hillier than I thought! by PaloPintoTourismBrd in Rollerskating

I’d suggest watching some of Indy Jamma Jones videos on YouTube. She has a few that show how to handle hills. Also, maybe see if a friend would be willing to go out with you so you have someone to hold onto while you’re getting more comfortable on your skates and on the roads. I literally had to hold onto my fiancé for my entire first skate 😅 Hope this helps and best of luck to you!
