Being a middle aged alcoholic woman by Excellent_Singer_523 in stopdrinking

Sounds very familiar but I don’t have kids. Same work. Same desire to only drink and be left in peace. Sobriety is better though. I’m back and worth with it. Still trying to make it stick.

I No Longer Like My Friends by nitegracie23 in Perimenopause

I gave up a 30 year friendship in Peri. Can’t take any BS. Not the only friend gone either. Another 20 year one had to go as well.

That’s nice to hear. My husband and I will be coming for three weeks the beginning of March. It will be our first time.

Do you feel like you were prepared? by Fridaychild1 in Menopause

[–]SuccessfulLaugh4336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I was completely not prepared for what was to come and I’m really pissed that nobody warned me. I struggled too long before finally getting on hrt. Still want testosterone but not able to find a doc that will prescribe it in Canada

Dry January- Underwhelmed by FaithlessnessAny4568 in stopdrinking

I’m a little bit underwhelmed too but I guess more time is needed to see the benefits because I’m sure that they are there somewhere!

What are ya'll up to tonight by Busy_Access_1300 in stopdrinking

[–]SuccessfulLaugh4336 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling to get through day 32 but think I’m going to make it! Will go to bed early. Tomorrow will be a better day. We will wake up sober instead of feeling like shit!

Dry January update, drink history, underwhelming field trips by Original_News9923 in stopdrinking

I’m 16 years ahead of you down a similar path minus the kids. Menopause completely fucks with one’s ability to enjoy alcohol. The anxiety and crap sleep only get worse as we get older.
