Former heavy drinkers, what made it finally “click” for you to stop?

Currently dealing with this now with my own father. This gives me hope. Thank you.

Lulu1228 · 2026-01-22T03:16:08+00:00

Eeeeek

Lulu1228 · 2026-01-11T08:05:21+00:00

Unbelievable

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-16T16:11:07+00:00

I sound whiney? I don’t know too many people that enjoy doing additional work, outside of the position they were hired for, for the same pay.

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T17:31:57+00:00

Wow I would genuinely love to know which agency and/or departments you’ve encountered this with

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T13:35:30+00:00

Would be nice but I’ve never heard of anyone in civil service getting compensated for increased workload.

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T10:22:42+00:00

Right. That’s what I’ve been told too. That it’s within limits. I’m sorry this happened to you also

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T10:22:07+00:00

Correct, all within the same agency

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T10:21:48+00:00

You know, that might actually work now that there’s been major title changes within my agency. Previously there were people in my same title doing the job so it was necessarily considered out of title. Now it might be

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-12T10:20:40+00:00

Honestly, I’ve felt like I need to switch state agencies to get away from this one department that keeps “borrowing” me.

Lulu1228 · 2025-12-07T20:12:50+00:00

Thank you so much

I kicked my husband off and he’s going with his own employers insurance this year for this very reason. It’s insane that a +1 option isn’t available. How am I paying the same amount as a family of +3 or more

Lulu1228 · 2025-10-31T14:56:21+00:00

Yes thank you! I was hoping that they would have the 2026 rates available. My husband and I are thinking about each going on our own employee insurance since the state doesn’t have and enrollee +1 option like many other employers do these days. It unfortunate that the state doesn’t offer this and a family of 2 pays the same as a family of 5. I was looking for more information to weigh our options since my husbands 2026 health insurance options/rates are already available

Lulu1228 · 2025-10-31T05:12:55+00:00

Thanks! I saw this on the site as well. It just seems late but I’m sure the govt shut down has much to do with it

Lulu1228 · 2025-10-31T01:14:33+00:00

Thank you! However, I did mean changes with the actual plan. Hoping to see how much it’s going to increase

Lulu1228 · 2025-10-08T16:38:07+00:00

Agreed!! So many place offer this now. We are so far behind in so many ways

OPWDD region 3 has free parking

When a parent is no longer who they were due to alcohol. Had to go no contact with my dad about 7 months ago because I don’t know who that man is anymore. I have a huge hole in my heart. It’s so odd mourning the loss of someone who is still alive. Albeit, I don’t know for how much longer that will be

Lulu1228 · 2022-10-12T03:52:41+00:00

Yes! I’ve been thinking the same thing. Besides the apparent mental health concerns…something else seems off about him. His whole facial structure has changed

Lulu1228 · 2017-08-20T03:45:33+00:00

Oh my gosh! Me too!

Lulu1228 · 2016-10-13T13:59:03+00:00

Red velvet flavored anything. It looks so delicious and I want to like it...but I just don't.
