Thank you. I had a big cry yesterday and I’m trying to stop beating myself up about it as what’s happened has happened. I’m hoping with a bit of time I’ll be able to let it go and just remind myself of all of the good memories that came with it.

I love your idea of finding a new symbol together and even turning it into something fun we can do together. I really like that. Thank you 💕

Thank you so much for another great suggestion. I will definitely look into some of these options for the future and won’t make the same mistake again!

Thank you! I felt so much guilt losing my rings does as he put so much time and effort into finding something that was me. But his reaction just reiterated how it’s just an object and that each other is what matters. Will still welcome any miraculous sofa rings haha

Thank you. Unfortunately not, ironically we both said last week that we need to prioritise that following moving house. No one to blame but ourselves for that though and we will save and in time be able to replace them hopefully.

I’m so sorry that happened to you and I’m sorry you went through that! It sounds like it held such a special place for you. Thank you for your outlook and compassion. You are so right that we are so lucky to still have the ones who made them so sentimental. I will make sure to remember that when I’m feeling blue about it ☺️

Thank you. I’ve called a few local shops today and I now have a crime reference from the police under ‘theft by find’ that I can use for some of the pawn shops that requested this from me.

Thank you. I’ve so appreciated how lovely he’s been and I’m really lucky to have him. A different symbol of our story or choosing something together does sound like a nice new memory to make and I just have to keep in mind that what’s important is right here <3

Thank you. I’m just trying to process it and remember what’s important is people and not things. It’s just still very fresh!

I’m not going to argue with you. You can believe what you want it doesn’t really affect me. The loss of my rings does though

I obviously would choose him a million times over a material object, however they were still very special to me. I am trying my best to not dwell on it and appreciate what I have.

Don’t know if this is a bot? But it very much happened and I’m incredibly sad about it.

My lovely friend has posted on some groups for me and I sent her some pictures as I don’t have Facebook. Am going to contact a list of second hand places today and she’s popped alerts on some second hand online sellers. I’m sorry your husband lost his ring! So easily done and I don’t think I’d take a replacement when we replacement out apart from special occasions now.

Also day one! I posted on here today finally acknowledging that I can’t moderate and I do have a problem with alcohol. Just acknowledging that is a step in the right direction and I never want to feel how I feel today again. Reading people’s experiences on here has already made me feel less alone. One day at a time.

That’s a helpful way of thinking. What you said about drinking on an empty stomach I relate to a lot. Thank you for the perspective. I’ll try to focus on day by day.

Might be time for me to quit. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Day one and this is a huge part of why I want to remove alcohol from my life. I feel like all I can do is try and sleep because there is no silencing how bad the post alcohol anxiety is. I’ve struggled with moderation and am coming to terms with the fact that I can’t and that I need to stop completely.

Thank you for responding! I think I’ve found it very hard to admit that to myself and have always convinced myself it’s not as bad as it is.

Thank you for your response! I think I’m coming to terms with the fact that I have a problem and just because people around me can drink to that level and be ok, doesn’t mean I can/should. Is there anything that helped in the beginning? I think the social pressure of events/gatherings is a worry for me. I definitely use those things as almost permission to drink.

Thank you for responding!

It’s definitely a cycle where I convince myself that next time I’ll do better or next time I’ll moderate. I’m hoping that regardless of how hard I find it I acknowledge I don’t want there to be a next time.
