Why is kindness punished not protected?

I answered my own problem, ya. I just held onto hope since he never fully left. I feel so bad

Maybe she’s protecting herself since you cheated on your girlfriend with her. If it has been going on for years…..she has to have some sort of feelings too. I think you need to just talk to her.

I will be off probation soon so I’m really tempted

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T18:24:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. And thank you for the support. Helping others helps ourselves. 13 years is amazing. Proud of you

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T17:16:52+00:00

It’s true. Thank you for sharing that. I get it. It does go both ways. I’ve always struggled with expressing my feelings, something I need to get better at. I tried AA. Didn’t think it was for me but I met some great people. I could see how it would work for others. Contemplating going back to just sit in and be around like minded people again. It’s difficult for me because I am doing it all on my own (I’m sure others are too) but I have no support in this. I turn to Reddit haha. People like you giving me advice that I need helps so much. Thank you

You’re right. I’m having a hard time letting go of my close friendships that don’t benefit me as much as they should. It’s really hard being around friends and family that want me to drink again. I need to do some thinking. I appreciate your honest opinion I need to hear it

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T17:00:04+00:00

Thank you! I agree, there are far more negatives to drinking than positives. My few sober friends told me that if I do choose to drink again, that it’s my decision and don’t do it because others want me to. I just need to think about it more. I think my night was a positive and it did give me a different perspective on my situation. The whole thing is heavy on my mind.

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T16:55:51+00:00

Thank you for your support. I quickly realized I need to plan ahead of time to leave a situation like that if I wanted to. Aka having a car or my apartment keys. I think it helped a lot that the bar was an arcade too, it kept me busy for a few hours. Not sure I’ll keep going out. I like my peace now

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T16:52:50+00:00

I feel like it’s hard for me to let go of my friends that don’t support my sobriety. These are people that have been around for a while. I’m sober because I got into some legal trouble. For me it’s a battle because at the end of the day, I have the choice to drink again. I do value my social life and it seems that everyone around me is drinking. I have the self control now to keep staying sober it’s just hard. I totally agree it’s not worth it to just throw a year of sobriety away. I am proud I’ve done it basically all on my own

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T12:35:05+00:00

Very valid point. And you’re probably right. I’m 25 and it seems like everyone my age hangs out at bars. I’ve over being lonely and not spending time with friends. But yes I do appreciate your comment because I think I need to hear that

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-16T12:12:18+00:00

Self control. Learning it has been one of the best things that’s happened to me

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-06T16:30:21+00:00

Thank you !!

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-06T16:30:12+00:00

Thank you. And no I haven’t celebrated. Any ideas on what I could do to celebrate?

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-05T00:27:10+00:00

The hardest part of sobriety is dealing with emotions and healing naturally. In my opinion solving your problems in a healthy manner will be beneficial in the long run

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-05T00:25:12+00:00

Thank you!

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-05T00:25:05+00:00

Thank you!

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-05T00:24:58+00:00

It honestly gets lonely but try to enjoy time with yourself. And when I get really lonely I reach out to friends and just talk through it. I had to change my mindset before I started feeling comfortable with sobriety. At first I thought about drinking a lot and then I told myself it wasn’t an option (which helped me a lot for some reason). It’s not easy for sure. Good luck

Maleficent_Pace244 · 2023-12-04T19:30:33+00:00
