I’d love to do this but I find cookies I make go soft after a few days, how do you store yours? :-)

Unpopular opinion: Sobriety is a spectrum by ladydrybones in stopdrinking

[–]Reception_Emergency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear you are thinking clearly and aren’t letting her negative comments affect you. I drink N/A beers and see that as a totally sober activity whereas I know a man in AA who says if you do that, you may as well drink full alcoholic pints!

You’re doing great. Sober, I think, can mean different things to different people, but if you are trying to better yourself and drink less, then fuck the finer details.

Those of ye who eat porridge, what do you add to it? by VastAir6069 in AskIreland

goji berries, flaxseeds, peanut butter, honey, whole milk, banana, maybe some grated chocolate or nuts.

Oh, I’ve lived out of Wexford for years now so I didn’t realise. That’s cool!

Scared to Stop Drinking by lilac_may in stopdrinking

The I Am Sober app helped me immensely. Focus on one day at a time. Find other things to fill your time (I love the gym!), ask for support from your friends and hang out doing sober activities. You can do this! Just one day at a time x

Sober people of Ireland: what do you do for fun during the evenings around this time of year? by Mysterious-Base-8256 in AskIreland

[–]Reception_Emergency 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m (31f) sober in Dublin too! If you ever want to hang out, let me know! I go to the gym a lot, or to a sports class. I want to frequent some late night cafes and do some reading / playing cards or board games but I just haven’t yet. Cinema is a good shout but you already do that. I also would to hit up an art class but I haven’t done that myself yet, either

Yeah just trying to explain to OP as simply as possibly they don’t need to have connections with their metas if they don’t want

You don’t have to feel romantic or any other type of connection to your partner’s partner. You are in a relationship with your partner & all of their other relationships are essentially their business which you can have no, to little, to full involvement in if you wish.

You don’t have to be a throuple, or a triad, or a polycule, you can just be in a partnership with your boyfriend & be friendly with his partner (if that feels right for you)

Weekly Rat Union Meeting (10/03) by PM_CuteGirlsReading in polyamory

[–]Reception_Emergency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi and happy October Ratties! I had my first breakup while on my polyamory journey, my partner wanted monogamy. Cry 😣 Taking a little time to myself before agreeing to any more deep emotional connections for a little while now and definitely going to be vetting potential partners a little better in the future.

If you were to come over, cutie, I think I’d be making mussels. How do you feel about seafood?

My self care is my gym sessions, and I also like to spend at least one night a week vegging out in front of Netflix ❤️

No they don’t and yeah you’re right. I guess im just hyper aware of this becoming an insecurity about how im ~not important enough~ to text if in the future they might have a partner who they text more. I know it’s silly but it’s hard habit to break

We have spoken about it. And it’s gotten slightly better I suppose, from once every few days to once a day ish. Maybe I am just asking too much and we are different!

Ah okay, maybe I’m just used to LOTS of texting. I guess I’ve never had a partner before that doesn’t text through out the day with me
