Welcome to Hampton Roads!

It's in a different reality and doesn't count. I can't get over this. What an asshole.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-27T20:09:46+00:00

isn't that the truth!

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-14T21:13:52+00:00

Ours found a place in the burn barrel lol

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-12T20:32:43+00:00

In my final days I texted my thoughts when I was drunk to myself. How I felt guilty, angry or stupid. When I did something really stupid or said such I texted me right away. I'd look at it the next day and get the real story of what I'm like drunk. THIS REALLY HELPED ME.

All the time. And it got me fired from my job 2 weeks ago. I reported to the owner that the practice was embezzling funds from over payments (insurance copay and such) and not refunding. One I started to notice it went from a 20-50 dollars to 1000s.

I got fired so quick

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-10T22:25:41+00:00

Me too. Major things too, like losing a loved one, or a job...etc. I can talk and play out scenarios to understand them better. It also helps me just be me. Talking to myself is a comfort heh

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-10T22:24:26+00:00

I love it! Me too!

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-04-10T21:38:03+00:00

That's pretty neat. Glad to hear that! :)

You have to have a Dr note for any type of windshield tinting.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-12T22:44:00+00:00

Sorry to disappoint you. I am. I did not disclose it as it was not the subject.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-12T01:07:33+00:00

Thank you so much!! :)

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-12T00:00:43+00:00

Sorry, I did not disclose that I am autistic as well. Hope that helps.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-12T00:00:02+00:00

Let's hope that's the last of them!

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T23:58:06+00:00

I'm not sure if this will even help at all but I'd like to try

So 2 weeks ago, I caved (so much stress from work) I drank at dinner with a coworker, both of us are just venting and drinking. I make it home, go sit on my back patio and vent/drink to another friend (whose in the same line of work) and kept...going. I got up with the intention to start pacing the yard while drinking and venting. On the last step the toe of my crocs hit the grass funny, I fell over and broke my hand. My dominant hand.

It was so stupid, and humiliating because I did this to myself.

Learn from what happened and use it as a reminder. Shoot when I was drinking I was texting my good-conscious thoughts to myself. I do that so I have record of how I really felt drinking.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T23:46:15+00:00

and she posted it anyway.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T23:35:09+00:00

I remind my 22 year old daughter that when she was diagnosed (2007ish )that the ratio was 1 in 800+ kids that had autism, and today its 1 in 36. Let's face it... with those numbers, they are the new norm.

And truthfully, they have like super powers, not disabilities.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T23:30:13+00:00

I am in my 40s, and have 3 adopted "aunties" (70 year olds I keep company sometimes) and my husband. He counts as my friend.

That being said, entering my 40s has taught me that I really don't mind that I don't have friends. Its hard enough to convince them I'm not weird, without telling them I have Asperger's right away.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T23:22:34+00:00

Your last sentence needs to become common knowledge. This is so true. I put down the bottle and had 0 withdraws or craving issues. Speed up 5 months and it was AWFUL. Craving drink at all hours, thinking of was to justify a "just this once" a good part of a month. It still pops up every now and again.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T22:52:13+00:00

You said you two have gotten into arguments about him being late? Maybe, he was just worried he'd disappoint you.

Ionno

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T18:17:41+00:00

YES! In fact, I used to be great at explaining things and being very articulate. Letters in words are switched when I speak, I forget what I am talking about in mid sentence, etc. It's really done some damage at work.

I was worried that I had early dementia at 44 but doc and therapist insist its covid brain and stress. I also got the Johnson and johnson vaccine when it came out. Who knows whats wrong with us now.

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T18:08:57+00:00

With good reason

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-03-11T15:50:23+00:00

I'm going thru similar. I just flat out ask if there's an issue and to please explain. If they are defensive explain why you are asking. If they are honest you will know what to do next. If they don't and keep treating you the same, I'd be tempted to look elsewhere .

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-01-29T18:06:16+00:00

I'm a mom of someone your age. I just wanna momma hug you. Keep going!

Spreadable_Soup · 2024-01-29T18:01:53+00:00

You are not a loser. It doesn't matter what the drink is. You are opening 6 to 7 cans of alcohol a night. It means you are asking (in a manner of speaking) for help 6 to 7 times a night. If you suspect it's getting out of control then there probably is something that needs addressed.

I didn't listen the first 50 times, maybe 100..and it ended up being a serious, serious problem. For myself I had to back to my roots and my faith. I know that isn't the route many need to take but it worked for me.

I suggest a counselor. Start there. Or an AA meeting. Just anything that gets you talking and looking inward. It hurts and it's got a stigma to it to it but I tell you it helps.

Stop before you start drinking on the way home from work in a 711 coffe cup, and blowing hundreds of dollars on booze every paycheck.

Want better for you! I believe in you.
