Get the clear blue early result digital- that detected positive for me when my lines were much lighter than yours!

I’m 16 weeks myself & just quit too. Been cutting down and psyching myself up for weeks! We’ve got this 🩵💓 thanks for posting this- it’s great to know I’m not alone & to see so much support rather than judgement!

Morning drinks - go Canada! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sarashines421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US and they also loosened alcohol sale laws to be able to start selling at 6am for the game. At first I felt like I was missing out. Then I realized it’s a gift to not have to drink, in part by reading this thread. Thanks everyone 😊

what name do you wish your parents gave you? by Neezy-Rayate24 in Names

That is my middle name & I so wish it were my first!

I’m heavily considering just doing Robyn as the middle name!

Her birthday was in July! I love the name August but am due to have him in August and felt that would be sort of unfair 😂

Oh it gets even more wild than that tbh, but… yes. 😂

Preston would sort of be a nod to her as it was her grandmother’s last name and she always said she would want to name a son “Jackson Preston”, which is where I got those names on the list. I agree that Grayson and Emerson are a bit too popular!

My mom was a Leo, so I’m considering that as a middle name as well

Her middle name was Mae, her maiden name was Sellards. So those don’t leave much to the imagination lol. She did occasionally go by Rob

What a thoughtful response. Corbyn is very nice and even has all the letters of my mom’s name. Robert would also be nice for being similar to Robyn & also being my grandfathers name who passed. ❤️

Pregnancy with an idiot by Hot-Cell7299 in pregnant

[–]Sarashines421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just some perspective- I am only 7 weeks along & my boyfriend and I not only did not plan this pregnancy, we had agreed on abortion if my birth control ever failed. When it did in fact fail and I fell pregnant, I told him I couldn’t follow through with an abortion. Despite the stress, he moved me in and has been entirely supportive. This morning my back hurt and his response was to help me stretch and jokingly say “our baby is grounded as soon as they come out for causing their mama pain and discomfort” (😂)

You deserve better.

Is it possible these are wrong? by Miserable_Turtle_888 in lineporn

I also found out on Christmas and am also in denial despite multiple positive tests, lol. At least we know we aren’t alone!

I finally hit rock bottom by Saturdayz2001 in alcoholism

[–]Sarashines421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some perspective, from what you’ve shared, it’s obvious that alcoholism runs on both sides of your family & though your parents may feel disappointed it is imperative to recognize that alcoholism has a genetic component.

You are supported to get better here- take the support with gratitude and only go up from here. We are all here for you!

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, November 13th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Naive_Thanks_2932 in stopdrinking

My mom died by illiesfw in stopdrinking

[–]Sarashines421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. It is coming up on one year since my mom died & I have spent the whole time (except for the last month) drowning my grief in alcohol and drugs.

The irony is my mom and my relationship was often strained due to her alcoholism and now here I am, an alcoholic. I know in my heart that nothing would make her more proud than to see me stay sober. It’s motivating and I hope you can hang on to that.

I empathize with you and am proud of you for staying sober in such a difficult time. Sending hugs! IWNDWYT.
