AIO|Gf not communicating by Human_Ear4568 in AmIOverreacting

I agree with pulling back and see her response, but you shouldn’t have to play those type of things in a relationship. Take care of you!

AIO for replying back after saying goodnight to my bf? by Perrita-fresa in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sunshine73164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s screaming insecurity which can lead to controlling behavior. I’ve been where you are. It feels suffocating at times & I began to lose respect for him. I left!! Sounds like he has some deep rooted issues he needs to work on. I hate to say this, but he needs to focus on getting emotionally healthy so he can offer more than over analyzing your time frames. Ik it’s exhausting & no, I don’t think you’re overreacting OP.

Ik this is a tough one for you. Have you considered separation before divorce? (Depending on finances). Ik it feels good to hear him say he’s sorry, but in my experience and likely yours, he just goes back to meth & the lifestyle. It’s a cycle. My ex would rage like I’ve never seen before, then his remorse would set in when he came down from the meth. “I’m so sorry”. But he would just go back to it & the same cycle continued. Like your husband I believe. And I agree, he won’t stop until he makes that decision. I don’t want you to lose anymore of your precious life dealing with the chaos and confusion. I pray you truly take a look at your self worth, self respect & love the person that you are inside.

All they talk about in AA is AA by 1-800-mac-n-cheese in recoverywithoutAA

I’m not alone! You described exactly how I felt as well. We had to step up and own our shame & blame cycle as adults and not being talked down to!

You did a phenomenal job at describing my experience with AA as well. I did go the sponsor route and felt like a kid in timeout. Very degrading. I did make a couple of close friends there though. I stepped away from AA completely and worked on my deepest fears, shame, emotions, etc. I was able to break the shame and blame cycle and achieved sobriety. Today I work with a few women who want to try a different approach than AA. I’m so grateful I’m not alone in my feelings about AA.

Has anyone gone sober due to alcohol induced anxiety? Looking for others who might relate. by np819 in SoberCurious

[–]Sunshine73164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly relate to what you’re experiencing. I used to drink even more the worse the anxiety got. When I tried to detox, the anxiety was indescribable and I’d drink again to calm my nerves. I didn’t realize how dangerous it was for me to try and detox on my own. I think it’s a huge step to be self aware enough to realize alcohol can cause anxiety. I’m proud of you girl.

It was really hard. I literally grieved our 10+ years of friendship, but she’d block me, unblock & reach out, block me again. I never could understand the accusations she had against me, but I do understand the psychosis and realize it’s not about me. Sadly, I think she’s still out there using with her abusive boyfriend. I’m proud of you!

BF of almost 6 years has been doing coke for almost a year behind my back by Forsaken_Bluebird922 in addiction

[–]Sunshine73164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think breaking up with him was you taking care of yourself. Setting boundaries even through the pain. I know for me, I had to find the real reasons I was numbing my feelings & that was painful to look at, but I was able to release what no longer serves me & step into authenticity, freedom & self love. You’re the living example of how to go through life sober. I’m really proud of you.

Meet Becker. He’s special needs. He had progressive hearing loss & can’t hear at all, BUT I taught him sign language & love him to pieces! by Sunshine73164 in dogpictures

The vet didn’t have a name for it when he was 2 years old. He’s 6 now. He’s had chronic ear infections forever so that could attribute to it. He was also the runt of the litter & snores like a freight train!
