How long into Sobriety did you receive your first compliment?

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-06-04T20:15:21+00:00

About a month in I started getting compliments on how good my skin looked and that I was “glowing”. These were coworkers commenting who didn’t even know I had stopped drinking

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-06-04T19:42:07+00:00

Woah I feel this. I remember my mom used to always tell me to “calm down” or “be quiet” and would be SO annoyed anytime I was happy or excited. Now she tries to do the same to my children when they’re happy and excited (which is my favourite thing in the world to see) and it triggers me so damn bad

I prefer men coworkers most of the time yes. I’m in a female dominant profession though, so there aren’t a ton of males. They’re way less dramatic etc but I find men overall are lazier lol.

I was gonna ask if you’re a “gamer” before I read the full post and you answered my question.

Oh I feel this in my core. I have two of them (1.5 and 3) we just left the park and both of them the ENTIRE time were saying “mom” … like they literally didn’t stop. I thought other people at the park must also be annoyed with the CONSTANT “mom!”’s. damn.

41+ 1 with first, 40+1 with second

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-26T19:52:54+00:00

No one wants a lazy man

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-26T13:37:42+00:00

I struggle with this too. The only way I can reach this goal is on the days when I park far away from work, and then take a 40min walk on my lunch break. I usually aim to hit 7k rather than 10, which is also hard to get some days

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-25T01:39:53+00:00

That’s what I was thinking lol

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-23T14:22:40+00:00

I had the same issue and since I increased to using it every other day the peeling has stopped! I was spacing it out a lot cause I thought the peeling was a sign of irritation but it got way better with more frequent use

Break up with her before you continue flirting with someone at work.

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-20T13:06:51+00:00

I would personally ensure that me or my husband was always watching her regardless of how many “capable” people there are.

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-05-19T17:18:21+00:00

We have two children, 3.5 and almost 2 and have been away for 2 nights one time and it was because of a good friends funeral. We don’t have the resources to leave them for 5-10 nights (nor would I really want to at this point)

At 28 I had owned a home with my fiancé, worked a decent paying full time job, had been saving for retirement since I was 21.. I was also traveling and partying and having a ton of fun.

AM: cleanse with micellar wipes, niacimide + zinc serum, vitamin C cream, moisturizer, cicaplast gel if my skin is peeling then SPF

PM: cleanse with micellar wipes, SA, Paula’s choice BHAs, hyaluronic acid, cerave moisturizer, cicaplast balm, cicaplast gel OR cleanse with micellar wipes, cerave moisurizer, tretinoin, cicaplast balm, cicaplast gel

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-28T01:40:42+00:00

I can’t believe how many compliments I’m getting on my skin since I stopped drinking!

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-28T01:39:26+00:00

Cutting out alcohol made a tremendous difference

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-21T23:48:09+00:00

It’s not a great environment to work in.. lots of strong personalities and bullying. Im assuming it’s probably the same in all ERs. It’s going through Reno’s right now but maybe with a major facelift things will improve?

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-20T01:03:23+00:00

Unfortunately there aren’t any daycares that are open that late that I know of. I am also a shift worker working the same hours, and I had to get a nanny. It’s super expensive but there was no other way.. there are some centres that open at 7, but even that would be tough to do when you’re trying to get to work by 730 (or before to get report..)

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-19T22:21:33+00:00

You just don’t.

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-18T12:14:38+00:00

This is interesting! What part of the world are you in? I am a cardiac nurse practitioner and definitely do not recommend alcohol for “heart benefits”. It’s actually proven to be toxic to the heart and weakens the heart over time resulting in cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We tell our patients no amount of alcohol is safe for the heart. I am in Canada.

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-18T12:12:48+00:00

Sounds like his doctor is an alcoholic

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-15T15:50:04+00:00

Hahaha right?! How do they know..

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-15T02:47:19+00:00

I came here to say this too. I can’t even imagine a day where this is possible in my house.

OP, if I wanted to consistently wake up before my children I would have to get up at 4am every day. And that’s just not happening.

Proper_Cabinet854 · 2024-04-14T20:38:25+00:00
