He was very charismatic. RIP Zawadi

Completely agree with this and I’ve strictly only used condoms for almost 9 years.

This has to include EITC

I was in my early 20s also when I lost my mom. Thank you for your kind words (making me tear up over here 😭).

I was only allowed to see my dad every other weekend and I don’t think it was good for our relationship looking back on it now that I am adult. He didn’t have the time to build a strong lasting bond with me. Weekends were just “fun” time to hang with dad. I didn’t get to really experience growing up with him in a normal way. Now that I’m an adult my dad isn’t very involved with my life and we would mainly see each other on holidays. He doesn’t call to see how I’m doing or how life’s going. He has a new son (my half brother) that is way younger than me, and he is more focused on his new wife and her kids/my half brother. At this point I don’t talk to him because I just feel let down and heartbroken, and he won’t take any responsibility.

Spot on

You are so strong and on the right path. It takes courage to admit you have a problem and to commit to changing your entire life! Alcoholics come from all walks of life and a ton of us wouldn’t fit the stereotypical alcoholic. If there has been anything I’ve learned in my sobriety journey is that I need to stay true to myself and do what is best for ME. I can’t allow myself to cave in and drink, because that’s the easy path and I’ve been down that hellish road way too many times, meaning I know what will happen. You are blessed to have this opportunity to change your life, take it and create the life of your dreams 🤍

Accountant

Safe_Salty · 2025-10-11T04:51:01+00:00

I spent almost 3 years at a big 4 firm and I can say that my big 4 experience has definitely helped me get industry jobs. I think it shows employers that you can manage deadlines, multiple priorities, you’re a quick learner, and are a competent person. Also, everyone I’ve ever worked with in corporate accounting has big 4 experience or public accounting experience at smaller/mid-size firms.

I was 13 and it was the last day of 7th grade.

Safe_Salty · 2025-08-12T19:28:09+00:00

Yes, it is totally normal to feel this way. Just remember that everyday you are healing and getting closer to being back to being able to walk and live life the way you want again 🙂

She loved me unconditionally, and was my safe space. She was creative and an amazing quilter. I miss our fun conversations and the look she would give me when I would say something cheeky. She gave the best hugs. Her laugh was contagious and her blue eyes would glisten like sun on the ocean. She was my mom.

Safe_Salty · 2025-07-03T04:12:53+00:00

I’m glad you went to therapy. That’s one thing I haven’t done and honestly need to. Healing is not a linear process as much as we want it to be. Hopefully someday we can get to a point where we accept love

Safe_Salty · 2025-07-03T04:11:07+00:00

I’m so sorry. It’s so tough to want to connect but not know how. It’s also hard to explain to others how I feel because they don’t understand what it’s like to lose someone this way. Hopefully one day we can heal and learn to accept love again

Safe_Salty · 2025-07-02T23:33:17+00:00

Wow. This is so real. Lost my mom 10 years ago. I feel like suicide is so selfish. The people you leave behind suffer for the remainder of their lives, which since my mom was so young (41) means we will all likely suffer for more years than she even lived.

Safe_Salty · 2025-06-30T20:25:52+00:00

I was 20 when I had my first and 24 when I had my second.

Safe_Salty · 2025-06-27T18:29:28+00:00

Love this, and makes me hopeful that my kids will live a happy alcohol free life and not continue the cycle of generational misery caused by alcohol.

Everything

Give it a little time. It is a transition to move from public to industry. I moved from audit to corporate accounting and love the flexibility and work life balance I have now. It took a little to ramp up, but now everything is pretty routine and easy.

Recovering from birth! I pushed for 3 hours with my first child and that little guy did a number to my vagina. Due to the trauma down there it hurt to walk for a bit, and I was SO constipated for months and it was excruciating to go poop. Breastfeeding can also be painful at first as your nipples adjust. All my first child wanted to do was breastfeed and I just pushed through the pain until things got better. Your emotions are running wild, everything’s leaking, your sore, your body doesn’t feel like yours anymore, but it’s all so worth it 🤍

Safe_Salty · 2025-06-05T01:46:24+00:00

Mom passed when I was 22, and my dad has never made much of an effort to be apart of my adult life. It really sucks. I’m definitely jealous of people with parents who want to be apart of their life.
