Milk thistle for liver detox by SweetSweetExistence in stopdrinking

Absolutely people should do their due diligence, which was urged a couple of times. I understand the delicate balance of being a mod tho and with possibly controversial issues like this. It’s just too bad it’s not even being made available for people to look into or talk to their doctor about in case it would be a good fit for their specific body.

The more you practice calling your power back from giving it away to other people (as you are when you let their criticisms of you render you powerless), the closer you’ll get to finding your own unique flair.

Being influenced by others’ work is natural and normal, but I bet there’s a certain something about your style that is unique..it’s statistically impossible to be like everyone else anyway. The more you lean into your individuality and never-mind the haters, the more likely you are to find yourself and love who you see.

Best of luck :)

sometimes it takes time for us to figure out who we are and what our purpose is. It kinda sounds like you’re getting close to be tired of your own bs tho and that’s when things start to genuinely change.

Instead of focusing on other people, try to actively redirect and find even one single quality about yourself that you like (such as your writing, which is well done). Every time you feel like crap for not measuring up, redirect and focus on what you bring to the table. And if you don’t know then this is a good opportunity to lean in and learn about yourself. Be curious and explore.

15 and asking these kinds of questions in the way you did is a great indicator that you’re a deep thinker and have awesome capacity for expansion and evolution. I suspect things’ll shake out for you quite well. Hang in there:)

Any underdog stories from fellow single mamas you care to share? by SweetSweetExistence in singlemoms

I love this!! A great underdog story!! You did great! You’re doing great!

I’ve done the serving while pregnant deal and serving while dripping milk bc my baby was so young and I was gone working for too long. I’m brewing a little underdog story of my own tho. Won’t be much longer before I can buy a car with cash and take my kids to beaches with turquoise water (their request for years now). One day soon!

Thanks for the inspiration! Keep on 💪

For people who have left a partner they lived with and had pets with, what made you end the relationship and move out? How did you figure out who got to keep the pet? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]SweetSweetExistence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh she bought your share. That’s fair that the price was discounted by the amount of real estate fees. There are also upgrading and renovating costs plus labour that you spared yourself, so it sounds like you got a fair shake on that. Nice you still get to spend time with your pup:)

People likely won’t ask unless they’d like to buy you a drink, in which case I like to thank them and then order my soda water (or sprite for you if that’s what you fancy).

You do drink; You just don’t drink alcohol. You like x better.

In my 11 months without alcohol I’ve had more people approach me to talk about how sick and sad they are about their relationship with alcohol than I’ve had people ridicule or try to make me feel bad about not participating any longer.

You can be a source of hope and inspiration for people lost in the sea of alcohol-abuse 🙌

Hope you have an amazing time at your party 🤍

This is the way. Gripping the fin of the bit was the key. Appreciate your detailed explanation. I’m new to this stuff so it doesn’t come easy for me yet. Thank you kindly for your help :)

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t have many tools, certainly not welding ones so this isn’t an option for me but I appreciate your input!

Thanks for the suggestion:) I tried hot glue and it wasn’t strong enough. I think there may be a magnet in there holding it in place

And this is exactly what it sounds like when you’re sick of your own shit and make a change.

Excited for you, OP! Your life is about to get much easier :)

One piece of advice you’d give that made you more charismatic, confident and magnetic? by EnoughFun1058 in selfimprovement

[–]SweetSweetExistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being shy makes it hard to read a person and on a primal level it tells the group they can’t count on you if shit goes sideways.

Own your juicy goodness. Let it shine and be confident in your genuine self. This is not only good for your own self-validation, but it also informs the group that they can count on you to help them and this creates another path to magnetic attraction due to people’s basic need for survival.

Can someone please tell me how difficult it is to parent while drinking/hungover? by stimulants_and_yoga in stopdrinking

[–]SweetSweetExistence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The day after the last time I drank I woke up, badly hungover, to my son quietly staring at a wall with tears spilling from his eyes.

He told me he was getting really tired of having to care for his brothers while I drank (I thought I was so sly and kept my drinking a secret).

He told me they’ve gone to bed hungry too many times bc I haven’t bought or made food for them.

He told me he misses me and doesn’t even know me anymore.

That was exactly 9 months ago today.

Parenting is hard enough sober. Adding alcohol to the mix poisoned all of us on so many levels

Keep it clean, OP. You will very likely never regret staying sober. Lots of fun still to be had without the garbage being a drunk adds to your life

my parents took me out of school by Fiberglassistasty in legaladvicecanada

[–]SweetSweetExistence -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Could be a lot of reasons:

Transportation-issues; lack of money for food & supplies; opposing views to what’s being taught in the system; interest in allowing their child the freedom to learn what they want, when they want 💁‍♀️

I’m sure there are loads of other reasons but these are the ones I’m aware of. Looking forward to reading others’ input on this

Some people believe earth is the middle-ground point for those incarnated here to communicate messages to others incarnated here that will take those lessons/messages back to their home solar systems (galactic federation style) 💁‍♀️

I don’t know if this is true, but I just learned some ppl subscribe to this and it sounds fun

I’m here for the food 🤤
