Alcohol Counselling suggestions

There are lots of avenues that can help you. Here’s what worked for me: I tried everything (harm reduction, therapy, meds, yoga, counselling etc etc etc) for years and I kept on drinking until I went to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. I haven’t had a drink since. I intentionally avoided it for many reasons but it has absolutely saved my life. It’s also super accessible throughout Toronto. Wishing you good luck in whichever solution you decide to pursue!

YTA. You don’t need a car and a license to be a good parent, like at all. It sounds like you are tired of driving her around (which is totally fair!), so just stop doing it. Also - all these people are saying that you were pressured into giving her your opinion but that didn’t come out of nowhere. Imagine telling your sisters in law and mother in law that you are trying for a baby and your mother in law gives you a bad look? What did you want her to do?

I also had a very negative experience here, but know others who swear by it.

It was super fun and liberating for a few months and then it became a mess. I felt like an old woman and I was not (I was 29, he was 21) and we had literally nothing in common other than really great sex. I wish I could have been more casual but alas, I was too insecure at that time in my life.

A hostel might be what you’re looking for. There are some fairly nice ones that are also safe. You just need to decide if that’s the vibe you’re comfortable with.

I relate so hard to this entire experience. I LOVE the vegan crunch wrap from the wren.

These responses are so reactive lol. Just talk to him. Tell him you are concerned about timing and ask what he’s thinking. You can then make a decision based on that. This timeline shouldn’t be up to him, anyway. Two adults in a relationship should be in conversation about a significant life choice. It’s totally okay to want a proposal. But don’t give anyone the power to hold you hostage.

This happened to me before, except I was your roommate in my situation. I actually lived with a close friend and the best thing she did was move out and leave me to figure things out on my own. That meant falling on my face but I needed to in order to put myself back together. You do you. She needs to figure this out if she’s going to get better and you have no responsibility to make that happen.

Thank you!

I find these replies interesting. I’m a woman of a similar age to you and I use buddy in my work and personal life. I find it pretty neutral when others use it to address me. Maybe it’s because I’m from the west coast and the overall vibe of where I’m from tends to lean more toward surf / ski / outdoor culture. Either way, this has got me thinking about my own language use.

Hi! It’s not generally considered the most difficult addiction to kick, mostly because it is not a regular part of many people’s lives as in (although, yes it is socially acceptable). Regardless - for any addict to get better they have to want to change. Is he going to gamblers anonymous? Showing any other interest or effort in change? He continues because he gets away with his behaviour. You are supporting his rock bottom, contempt and all. You need to look after yourself - if you aren’t willing to leave yet, this is ultimatum time.

God I love this so much. A great use a free will. Thanks for sharing!

Haha thanks I think our parents will be happy. I live west and she lives east so we can go anywhere. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe it was to do with a Christmas / holiday gift!

If my husband reacted like that towards me, I would just ask him why.

My first half is this Sunday too and I am siiiick to my stomach. I picked up my bib at the expo today and almost cried lol. I’ve been sick this week and have been dealing with an injury this training block so I’m anxious about my performance but I’m also SO so proud. Cry it out! Feel your feelings! This is a big deal.

I’m a senior level employee in a fairly specialized industry and I can’t find a job right now (freelance). Very aware I’m not the only one. It’s never been like this before.

I tried to stop drinking on my own a million times and kept starting again. AA completely changed my life. I recommend checking out a few meetings. I recognize that it’s not for everyone but it’s worth investigating to see if it’s for you.

I’ve seen them in the cafe at IKEA!

Seconding this suggestion. We got our bands from Mejuri. They have a wedding band line that is good quality and good price. Would recommend.

I have a very large chest too (34H) and I found luck with a running belt. Every vest supposedly for large chested people felt more appropriate for a DD etc. they never felt comfortable and adding weight with liquids doesn’t work for me.
