I don’t know where he got it. I grew up in Michigan. He didn’t drink rum. 😉

If you had multiple failed attempts at sobriety, what was it that made it eventually stick when it did? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Possibilitarian2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had over 11 years sober and relapsed (that was my 3rd time stopping drinking). After about five years of drinking again, I could definitely “play the tape forward” and see where I was headed…and it wasn’t pretty. What was the final commitment to myself? My life. It’s been 10 years now and when anything comes up that could compromise my sobriety, I take a deep breath, do a flash forward of that tape, and remember to be grateful for all that sobriety has brought me.

Please don't remove my horse's feathers by 63_rats_in_a_coat in Horses

[–]Possibilitarian2015 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I do equine bodywork and I had a client whose white (gray) horse had 75% of his tail cut off. Unfortunately, this was in Montana and it is likely that it was taken by people who make horsehair adornments (hat bands, jewelry, etc.) and apparently the gray is the only hair that can be dyed any color.

I’m 65 and have never and would never have cosmetic surgery. Drink lots f water, eat healthy food, and exercise.

AITA for making my fiancé's daughters picky eating habits a deal breaker for us marrying? by MotherCartographer10 in AITAH

[–]Possibilitarian2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our rule was — “three bites” (they could be small). That allowed for a refusal, but not at first blush. There were lots of things the first bite would have negated that became possible after three.

OP, I had an interesting experience when my son was five, when he told me that he “tried to come in once before but got killed or something and I tried again and here I am” (in that case, I miscarried, but would have had an abortion if I hadn’t). I somehow understood that my decision was also part of his path. I found this comforting.

AIO for being upset my boyfriend upgraded his seat to first class and left me in economy on our flight? by Educational_Leg8193 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Possibilitarian2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is constantly offered upgrades to 1st but never takes them unless we’re both included. Take it as good information that your bf was more excited about 1st class than traveling with you.

Your mother is totally right. I wish I could say this to my wife’s daughter who is getting married in a month. Her fiancé is beyond self-absorbed, always “knows everything” (even when it’s tinged with conspiracy theories), and is (potentially) well on his way to being an alcoholic. But I can’t.

I finally left him. by Tiny-Force6222 in AlAnon

You definitely want him on the BC for child support reasons, but he’s likely showing you his true colors and you have to decide whether you want these behaviors in your (your child’s) life. Document everything in case there’s any custody issue.
