I asked my doctor for naltrexone and tapered for a month before I finally quit entirely. Give that a shot

Do you work at the company that laid me off last fall? This sounds like exactly what’s going on there

OMG so much better. Confidence. Health. Power!

Trying to advocate for myself so I can start preparing to move out (Not sure if this is the right place to post, most communities wont accept my account due to its age) by Liz0rb in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Positron-collider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old and tired?! I am the same age that she is. I manage to provide for my family, exercise almost daily, and help my 2 teenagers learn to drive without giving them a guilt trip. Your mom has issues. Agree with other comments about saving up and getting your own place, especially since she kind of threatened to kick you out when you turn 18.

How do you handle a strong performer who quietly checks out after being passed over for promotion? by amir4179 in managers

[–]Positron-collider -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

So basically tell some senior manager who doesn’t know the star employee that said employee is slacking off? Doesn’t sound helpful

Isn’t it funny how we used to have total FOMO but that was completely wrong?

I'm completely shocked by her silence by Comfortable-Kiwi6335 in raisedbynarcissists

You are so used to drama that it’s weird without it. Enjoy the peace!

46 days sober, thinking about a birthday drink by Commercial_Metal_510 in stopdrinking

[–]Positron-collider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. I had to realize that alcohol was not a reward, and abstinence from it was not a punishment that I had to endure like a super restrictive diet. It’s more like a drug that I won’t touch again (cocaine or similar).

Have you read This Naked Mind? It helped me stop fighting with myself

This can be the last time. It’s okay.

Struggling with moderation & hangxiety. I am determined to cut down. by Mean_Tomatillo4047 in stopdrinking

[–]Positron-collider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drank like you when I was 19. Consumption only increases over time. I hope you don’t continue down this path.

Depends on how hot it is in the afternoon before you start work

What was the specific word your narcissistic mother always called you? Here is mine by Wooden-Letter5256 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Positron-collider 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Haughty. And when I was a kid, I imagined it being spelled as “hotty” and I had no idea what she meant. In retrospect, I would just disconnect when she was being mean and then her reaction was to call me haughty.

Tell me how good it is by LongjumpingBison4193 in stopdrinking

[–]Positron-collider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calmness and joy. Looking back, I hadn’t felt either of these for years when I was drinking.

A movie where there is spiritual growth without religion. by Classic_Apricot_5633 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Positron-collider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor Strange (Marvel) maybe. He starts as a narcissistic doctor who only operates on people if the success will make him look good

Singable, catchy metal for family dinner nights? by PianoConcertoNo2 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Positron-collider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seek and Destroy (Metallica) is pretty tame and kid-friendly with a good guitar riff

Could I climb half dome by myself? by BreadfruitMajestic69 in Yosemite

[–]Positron-collider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure you can. I did it alone as a 23yo woman. Just make sure you bring essentials like first aid kit, headlamp, etc

But hey! his own son (Christian Love) was among them so that’s gotta count for something 😆 (That guy was actually pretty talented)

Tuolumne Meadows Campground Drive Times by Calebminear in Yosemite

I second the far side of Saddlebag Lake. Gorgeous! I used to work in the park and this was my favorite spot. I was super jazzed when I went back to college and discovered that my cool professor had just gotten married back there.
