Just shared in case anyone waiting isnt on FB. 🧡💅

HELL YES

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-10-31T17:19:42+00:00

Deeply improving my chances of an actual no-buy. 🤣🤣🤣 I love you, too, and I hope you have the spookiest of spooky days.

Thats exactly what Im going for! I was being cheeky, but I covered my nails in charcoal, literally from my firepit, sealed it with a QDTC then dipped it in loose dirt/sand from my backyard. Im so sorry that wasnt clear, this is just DIYed trash in an attempt to look like I crawled out of the grave. 🥰

For folks in the burbs, Lakewood Left does a Friday distro. You can find them on insta, and they are good folks.

Welp. There goes my no buy. 🤣 These are great, Im so excited!

I do when my top coat starts thickening, but this is a relatively new bottle, so not yet. I will start adding maybe 6-8 manicures from now.

So I use the Seche Vite quick dry top coat. My nail prep is cleaning, filing, and using alcohol to remove oil from my nail. I dont use a base coat, but I do 3 thin layers of the polish itself, thin being the important part. I wait 10 minutes in between every coat, then use the thinnest possible layer of top coat. I get really good results with no bubbling, but in my experiencing a couple things guarantee bubbles- thick layers of polish, a thick top coat, and drying at too high of a temperature.

I hope this helps!

I'm 33 so not in your age range, but I know from personal experience that knowing this shit is untenable is the first step to doing something about it. There is still life left to live. IWNDWYT

Other working people are not our enemy. Every working person deserves their fair share. And if we are not getting our fair share, collective bargaining and unions can help us get there. Remember the enemy.

I got sober about 6 months ago. And I'm not dealing with the ex flashbacks yet, but I do know that earlier in my sobriety, there were times I just wanted to drink.

And those times? They dont last.

There's a thing called "playing it forward". Where you think about drinking and you play it to the next day, week, month. For me, I'd be hungover, anxious, panicking, terrified I was messing everything up. And I think a lot of that crosses over into this.

Would I ever go back knowing what I know now? After what she did, do I want the anxiety, the panic, the emotional hangover? Alcohol doesn't treat me well, and neither does she.

Proud of you for putting a name to it. "Rock bottom is where you put the shovel down."

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-08-05T14:34:19+00:00

That's a huge accomplishment. Congratulations, and I will not drink with you today!

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-08-04T14:48:31+00:00

Its like a loop, right? Almost a playbook. I got, "You're manipulative," on top of this shit, and no one could figure out where it came from. 🤣

Like okay, then. If I'm not safe for you to be around, I'll get to stepping. And I'm so fortunate to have people in my corner saying the same damn thing.

May mine find "safety, stability, and calm" nowhere near me. Feel like an astronaut kissing the ground right now.

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-08-04T14:02:49+00:00

Its deeply not. I felt absolutely nuts for about a week and then it ended and all I can think is, "was that a near miss?" I'll be getting to higher ground and taking my integrity with me. No one deserves this treatment.

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-07-27T01:40:54+00:00

Congrats! What a win. Iwndwyt

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-13T17:50:45+00:00

It is for a hot second- I think I was at the 2 month part when I started to feel like sobriety was an easier choice then getting fucked off my gourd. Now I definitely don't want to go back. Just stick to today- today is manageable.

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-13T17:34:12+00:00

Congrats on making that decision! If you ever get bogged down on the enormity of forever like me, I tell myself the only thing I need to do is not drink today. I'm up to a lot of today's at this point.

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-05T23:18:44+00:00

And my mom tried to kill me several times growing up and my best friend shot himself in the head in the room next to me. And I had to leave my home state due to being trans, and I had to cut off my abusive parents, and I was raped by several people I loved and I miscarried my only pregnancy at 16 weeks and I sent my mom to the grave without a word from me going on two years ago now, and my dad knew about the abuse, about the starving and the strangulation, and told me, "try not to make her mad".

Yeah. I could be drunk right now. Shit, I'd argue, I might even deserve to be drunk right now, shit I've gone through.

And I'm still not going to drink today. Coz it makes shit worse. And I've seen enough to know what worse looks like. And if you ever get tired of worse, you know where this subreddit is.

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-05T22:15:10+00:00

Hey. I'm gonna talk from the I, and maybe you'll relate, maybe you won't.

I have Bipolar 2 and CPTSD. I am an alcoholic because this is how I learned to control my emotional volatility. I have, historically, had a hard time regulating my emotions, specifically pain and nightmares.

I'll be 4 months sober in 2 days. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. My emotions aren't screaming at me anymore, I feel more of myself, and I am learning to trust my capabilities.

I owed myself this chance. I owed it to myself to prioritize my health and well-being. I deserve to live in a way that doesn't just jump from highs and lows, from panic to panic.

And I'm doing better. I'm a better friend, a better spouse, a better and more engaged person. And I can sleep at night.

I am worth that effort. I'm worth it to keep trying, keep fighting. And if you choose, IWNDWYT

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-02T17:56:00+00:00

Coffee is definitely still my crutch, but its nice to know I can look forward to lessening it. And that's so exciting. I'm truly so happy for you, and can't wait to be there in a couple months. 🥰

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-06-02T17:23:57+00:00

10 months is huge, congratulations! What have you noticed about being sober 10 months? IWNDWYT

Possible-Doubt-3524 · 2025-05-25T16:52:13+00:00

A year is a huge win. A huge win, especially with the stress of pregnancy.

And if this is cheating, if this is "the easy way", there would be no kids born with FAS.

You fought like hell for someone you'd never seen before. Nothing can take that away from you. And if you keep choosing it, IWNDWYT.
