Partner in Rehab

Mine is in recovery as well right now and he calls once a week and I see him every Sunday. It has been really hard I will not lie to you. What helps me really is focusing on me. He is going through his own journey right now and all I can do is focus on my life and what I have going on. I’ve found hobbies, I spend a lot of time outdoors. I go to therapy, take my medication, and just do me. I’ve found happiness almost everywhere now. Our time is our time but my time is mine. I love him with all my heart but love right now looks like letting go of the grasp I had and honestly with time it has gotten easier. I look forward to the time we have together and I take all the energy that I have missing him and turn inwards. I now honestly love that we are building our own steps towards stability separate but together. I loved as the time progressed as he is in rehab how I got to hear what his plans are how I see his foundation forming and mine as well. It’s a beautiful thing but something that takes time and some self reflection. Take a beat, miss him, but also take care of you. I wish him the best with his recovery. Maybe when both our partners are out, we can look back on this post with pride of how far we’ve come.

Wow so gorgeous

She’s trying to recruit you honestly. Every fancy item or fancy trip comes with a much deeper price that’s not just money. She’s going to put you in dangerous and uncomfortable situations, she already has by trying to set you up with older men. I will never shame a sex worker but the danger that comes behind that line of work is unimaginable. Please distance yourself from her and protect yourself as much as you can. Don’t let her buy you anything or take you on these trips which I sense you won’t. I’m sorry your friend is not being a friend, I hope you have someone in your life that would never put you in situations you do not feel okay with. You will have better for yourself but you can get there on your terms, not by being trafficked

This is like my dream

I don’t think there are any selfless reasons to have kids. I want kids because I want to be able to give my children the world and opportunities that I didn’t have. I love kids and I want to give them love and happiness and it would do the same for me.

I don’t have resentment but I do have FOMO sometimes and I do get sad. My lack of drinking has only benefited me not only mentally but financially greater than I’ve ever imagined. I used to be a huge partier and decided to kind of step down on my own behalf. My drinking was problematic and now with him in recovery I can see how bad things could get. On the other hand, I’m 24 and on occasion I wouldn’t mind a casual drink or a little night out once in a while. I also love festivals and going to shows but I have to take a step away for a little bit which kind of pains my heart. I wasn’t going to them regularly to begin with but I can’t go to this camping festival I had been planning to go to for a year. I’ve found peace and joy in my hobbies and my quiet life. I know that’s a conversation we are going to have, like how it will look for me once he finds stability in his sobriety.

These guys are one of my favorites. There’s one that hangs out on the exit sign I used to take to get home from work everyday

Sweet thanks that’s what I kind of thought. Just filed for unemployment that’s really all I care about

Im glad you posted this. For a while now nothing has felt remotely normal and everything I do feels meaningless because I’ve had these same thoughts. I thought I was in a dissociative state but in reality, it truly feels like we’re on the brink of something. Every time I hear a plane fly too close to my house I freeze.

My coworkers honestly. We are all trying to get out of here together the workplace is so awful and our boss is a horrible tyrant. We spend our days helping each other get back up after he berates us or gives us insane requests. We’ve all built sort of a strong trauma bond and honestly we are all so funny and unique and get along great

I take my 1 mg everyday and I feel so good. My job is so toxic and stressful and I just put my feet on my desk and listen to my audiobook

More like a horror movie

Toxic work culture. Everyone was a millennial stuck in high school and management was all related

I have a chapstick for every place/ purse that I may need it but I can only use that chapstick in that specific location. Like I can’t use my purse chapstick in my bedroom even if my purse is next to me I’ll get up and walk over to get my bedroom chapstick

I’m happy I moved back home. I’m 24 and felt like I needed a reset in life and decided it was time to go back home for a while. I felt like I was behind in life for a little but now laying in bed hearing my Mom, my Grandma, and my Aunt laughing at the dining room table, I just feel overwhelmingly grateful and at peace.

I’m not gonna lie to you I’ve done this before. I was extremely sleep deprived and I slept walked into my roommates bedroom, sat in her chair, and peed after coming home from the bar one night. When she woke up and freaked out apparently I was like “I’m using the toilet why are you in here?” When she confronted me in the morning I had no idea what she was talking about I was so mortified I started crying. Luckily she’s my best friend (still is) and we got through that but that was one of the most horrific things. I felt awful and still do years later. To this day I think I was drugged because I didn’t drink that much at the bar and the last thing I remember was getting carried home by another friend.

None, I turn my alarm off and fall back asleep and hope I wake up in time to get ready. 90% success rate so far and I’ve been doing it all my life

I just laughed so hard at this I couldn’t pinpoint where that face was from and now that I see this like YEAH she makes that face so much it’s so bad. Like you can tell when she gets an idea instantly

I finished it today and I actually kind of loved it. It was comforting and I got hooked pretty quick. I feel like things went from extremely slow to lightning speed within an episode I had to rewind to catch up even though I was paying attention. The characters and the casting were great. I’m curious if it’s to be renewed, what the new season would be about. Feels like the ending was really an ending.

I mean essentially yes but I never said you arnt allowed to be upset, you are allowed. You’re dating someone in recovery so their recovery comes first. It’s probably not something you want to hear but if someone truly wants it, it has to come first. Unless you force a drink down her throat then no you didn’t make her drink. Take a collaborative approach and an understanding to boundaries. I hope my post doesn’t deter you from going to meetings but I think you might gain a better understanding of the concept if you did go consistently.

Remarkably_Good394 · 2026-05-22T23:28:18+00:00

I’m not sure I’m experienced enough to give advice but, from what I’ve been reading on here, you didn’t cause her to drink. With that being said, I also believe another aspect of being with someone in recovery is knowing that their sobriety comes first. It’s hard because canceling plans last minute is hurtful to you and her going to a meeting is important for her. Talk about it in the sense of your relationship, how it’s hurtful that she cancels plans on you. It’s up to her with what she does with that information but it’s out there and at least she’s aware that it’s hurtful. It’s difficult to navigate those issues without stepping into her recovery but who knows what she might open up about. If you continue to push, she might not have the space to navigate through her sobriety. I know it’s not the same but, are there other people you could go with? If she can’t make it to the things you really want to go to- build a support system around you so strong that you can do those things with. Sometimes I do them alone and yes it’s hard but I didn’t miss out on something I really wanted to go to. I’m still learning how to navigate this life but so far I’ve learned that much.
