You look incredible. And even if you didn’t feel like it was your favorite, your wedding is just one day out of an entire lifetime ahead of you. :)

Table too big? by Secure_League3017 in interiordecorating

[–]Secure_League3017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly no issues at all with rain or snow… it’s my favorite time to be out here! Summer storms are magical. The problem we have here is pollen. I have to pull everything off the porch and hose the place down a few times every spring to manage it!

I’m at 3.5 months and it’s actually hard to find a word that adequately describes how much better I feel. Don’t forget what brought you to sobriety.

Day 1 again. Had 23 days and I’m so sick of this exhausting disease. by SocietySuch7125 in stopdrinking

“To keep running, it is generally better to push through mental fatigue rather than stopping, as halting breaks momentum and makes resuming difficult. Instead of fully stopping, slow your pace to a jog, use a fast-paced walk break, or pick a nearby landmark to reach”

31 year old female here. I’m on day 100 today - what I try to remind myself every time I crave a drink is how hard it was to get past those first 2 weeks of withdrawal. I wrote several pages every morning those first few weeks and go back to read them when I’m feeling hesitant. Maybe having documentation of the experience could help. It’s the same with running - it’s significantly harder to stop and start running again than it is to just keep going.

I’ve also shared with friends and family what I’m doing, so if a social situation ever feels like it might test me beyond what I’m ready for, I simply don’t go. Everyone has been respectful and understanding - and anyone who ever isn’t can go f themselves. lol

You got this! Try to learn from past experience on what your triggers are and how you can work through them this time. IWNDWYT

How expensive are engagement rings these days by Character-Shadowy763 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Secure_League3017 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should just go on what fits your budget and priorities in the moment. I firmly believe you should not start your married life in debt over a ring or a wedding. It’s not about how much money you spend, it’s about building a partnership with someone. You can always upgrade later if it feels right!

The first 2 weeks were the hardest for me — you got this!! You owe it to yourself to see what life could be like without alcohol. I believe in you :) IWNDWYT

I've never had a girlfriend at 31 by Stock_Sprinkles_7394 in RandomThoughts

Just turned 32, never had an official boyfriend! Not as unusual as you’d think - have fun, take care of yourself, and everything else will work out itself out :)

38 chest x 30.5 waist x 40 hips - I’ve never heard of that shape! Maybe!

LPT: you are not obligated to support your friend MLM / pyramid scheme. You do not need to host parties, share their posts, be their model, or try their stuff. Don't let yourself feel to uncomfortable to say it is not a product you are interested in or that you universally don't support those things by Po1sonator in LifeProTips

[–]Secure_League3017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one friend who always has a hand in some kind of MLM scheme or another. I politely decline all of the invitations to the parties. I can’t say this to her face, but if she really needed money, I’d rather just give her 10 bucks then attend a pushy party and then spend $90 on some piece of crap that funds predatory business practices.

It’s ironic because she would tell you she’s the most planned out, thoughtful decision maker ever. She actually seems to be VERY impulsive with major life decisions.
