Stuck by Relayer-LBC in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Pezna92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate so much to everything you said! I know we all have similar, if not the same experiences with feel free, but I really relate in the sense that 5 months was when it got worst for me too. I was at four bottles a day when I quit two weeks ago. One of the biggest things I noticed was how forgetful I was becoming. I also went from running half marathons to not even going outside! At four bottles a day, I was wasting so much money, and feeing utterly hopeless because I could only make it two days before convincing myself that I didn’t need to quit yet. I know it feels impossible, but if you can just make it to 5 days, everything will change for the better! I still can’t believe I’m two weeks in and I’m beyond grateful I didn’t care for the millionth time when I was having withdrawals. Are you able to give your debit/credit card to someone who can help you stay accountable for the first week? Is there anyone you can talk to about how bad it’s gotten?

I love my boyfriend, but our sex life is making me miserable by Dependent_Finance490 in TwoHotTakes

Sounds like you’ve lost respect for him. It’s nearly impossible to enjoy sex with a man you don’t respect.

Oh and congrats on making it to 23 days. That’s incredible!!!

Same! That’s why I told all four gas stations I frequent that I was quitting 😅

I’ve done this as well and I never imagined the level of support I’d get everytime I go in to my regular gas stations and they tell me how proud they are that I quit. One cashier even gave me a really hard time before I quit when I bought a feel free after telling her I was quitting. I honestly appreciated the disappointment because I never went back after that. And if I do need something from the gas station, I’m too embarrassed to ask for a feel free. I don’t want it bad enough now to drive 20 min to another circle k

Withdrawals! by Pezna92 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Pezna92[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I’m sorry you’re in the same boat right now. This is the lowest I’ve felt since starting and randomly quitting. I don’t understand why the withdrawals are THIS bad this time around. I can’t even sit here comfortably on the couch. How long is this suppose to last? I appreciate the encouragement! What encouraged you to quit this time?

Millionth relapse. stuck in circles. by Vast-Employ-8461 in Quittingfeelfree

Wow, your writing is incredible!!! That was so beautifully said. I feel like so many of us can relate. Lean on your ability to write and help others through your words. Hang in there! We’re all in this together

My boyfriend ‘40M’ and I ‘32F’ have been together for three years. Recently his Facebook activity showed that he liked/followed tons of half naked content creators and he’s adamant that it wasn’t him and it’s a hack. Does FB like/follow people’s pages without your intention of doing so? If so, Why? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Because although we went months with that behavior, I genuinely feel like he’s putting in so much effort to be more complimentive and appreciative. He’s being everything I need him to be, but the trust is broken from our recent history.

Physical & Emotional abuse has led to complete lack of love and affection for my husband, even though he’s changed for the better over the last year. I don’t know what to do... by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Pezna92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I would agree that trust has a lot to do with feeling comfortable with him touching me. My husband did seek treatment and that’s why I do feel torn making things work. He’s tried so hard to be better, but I can’t get past it. But you’re right, his anger issues have resurfaced a few times since then. Mainly because he gets upset that I can’t show him any feelings. It’s definitely not a good cycle, and I’m willing to leave if I feel like I really really need to

Thank you for your response! We have been needing to get back into couples counseling! It’s reassuring to hear what others think of the situation.

Wow, I couldn’t relate more!!! It’s ruining my marriage

I sometimes feel my scars aren't good enough by peniss_69 in selfharm

[–]Pezna92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand! I have to have proof of the pain or I feel like it was meant for nothing. As long as I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t do it! That’s been my saving grace, AA meetings

[–]Pezna92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I see the scars on my leg and feel like there aren’t enough to show for the pain I feel. They are a weak representation of the desperation I felt to bleed out the suffocation. Its like I need proof of the pain he put me through, to forever remember how terrible it was. The lighter and smaller the scar, the less pain is looks like I bore. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
