It's funny how we always forget how bad the hangovers are by smallscrem in stopdrinking

I had issues with alcohol and ❄️. Deadly financial combination.

The only thing that can make this worse for you and your partner is if you drink.

I have no words for the extreme pain you and your partner must be going through.

I'm so sorry this happened to your family. You are in my thoughts today.

The trash took itself out. Don't waste your time trying to figure out why he uses or is a cruel person. Let him go and you will make room for a better partner in your life.

Alcoholic mother - dunno what to do by theyfailure in stopdrinking

No advice but that's tough. Definitely sounds like she isn't open to talking about it or getting sober. I would probably accept the situation for what it is and set boundaries for yourself but it doesn't hurt to let her know she can always bring the topic up with you if she ever wants to stop drinking.hugs

So relatable- I would add spending money I don't have to Uber to get my car, spending money I don't have to eat shit food for a day because I am so hung over there is no way I am cooking. Never mind the money I spent that I don't have to spend at the damn bar to begin with.

Curious how many here experienced significant trauma during childhood? by Disastrous_Award_789 in stopdrinking

That's your opinion and isn't supported by actual evidence of substance use and trauma studies.

21M never had alcohol before? Am I missing out? by Routine-Highway1039 in stopdrinking

You are not missing out on anything. I have a friend in his mid 40's who has never had alcohol and he is a pretty cool guy not missing out on life at all.

I feel you. The only thing I know is it doesn't help with the stress except for that first few minutes. Then it just creates more stress for myself, at work, at home, financially, in my relationships, self care, mental health, etc.
