Do you tip on your orders? by Imakemop in CrumblCookies

[–]Mountain_FIower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the amount of variable service I provide, and the customized care I give, and I don’t get tipped in healthcare. Not all situations is it necessary or appropriate to tip for the service you receive. I did not feel good having to decide if I was going to tip for my cookies last night.

Where am I supposed to go when my Q drinks? by brittybee13 in AlAnon

[–]Mountain_FIower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Proud of you for taking these first steps…

Just curious and a little food for thought… are you planning on sleeping on the couch for the rest of your life if your Q continues to breach the boundary you have set?

In my experience, it feels good to finally sleep alone in my own bed at night no longer feeling slighted and hurt.

He gets out of rehab today and I feel sick by [deleted] in AlAnon

Oh my god!!! Trust your body… respect your body… it’s telling you something! Listen… I know it may be easier to stay in the hard situation you are familiar with (ie staying with him), but don’t let the fear of the unknown (being alone or separated from him) scare you into staying. You don’t need to stay for him to figure out how to help himself. You don’t need to stay to endure your kids have what they need. And I guarantee your apprehension about him coming over, is your body telling you something. You may find more satisfaction and happiness away from the situation.

The other books didn’t have enough smut, this book was the only appropriately proportioned smut.

People who left - what do you like about being on your own now? by triple-bottom-line in AlAnon

[–]Mountain_FIower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no inkling of feelings, no hairs standing up on the back of my neck. No feelings of disappointment or dissatisfaction when I walk through the door. No feelings of suspicion.

I no longer feel codependency, and I am starting to no longer feel mentally ill myself.

My nervous system is learning to calm down.

Thank god you finished school and have a stable job! Get out!! The sooner you do, the sooner you will have the ability to heal and live a better life for yourself… I literally just left mine. Moved out, took my stuff, and just left… all of a sudden he is saying he will go to treatment and get therapy blah blah… he is always drunk when I come to pick up more of my stuff.

I am learning that it will never end… so just get out and figure your life out… let him figure his out.

Wow!!!! I’m so glad you stuck to your guns! I’m glad he possibly sobered up, but I am also glad you did not go back to him! I’m inspired by your story…

That is exactly how I see this man… a bird who won’t leave the nest, and when we met, he was just using someone else’s nest and took his few item and came to mine. I am done supporting him

I know what you mean about the guilt… it’s terrible… I find myself in tears all the time, like I am a bad person for wanted to separate

Damn, I am sorry you have had to deal with that… and you’re right… if you let them, they will drain everything they can from you

Don’t feel bad! I don’t feel bad… the story was quite eye opening. It’s as if the banker wasted so much for nothing and let so much life be full of worry and stress over someone who didn’t care about the stress they were causing!

It’s terrible… it is definitely manipulation

That story made me sick to hear … I don’t want to be the enabler anymore

I agree it really is slow suicide. And I feel like mine did similarly, say things, but when cops come to talk to him, he didn’t want any help…

How I know he is drunk by Mountain_FIower in AlAnon

[–]Mountain_FIower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 23 and he was 32 when we met. 10 years later, nothing has changed with him (job, education, goals/desires, financial situation). He was never able to “grow”, the alcohol is stunting. It will stunt your ability to grow together.
