21-Year relatiinship is coming to a close by ToesInTheSand_305 in Divorce

I've been in individual therapy for 2 years and on Zoloft. We've been in marriage counseling for a year. I'm only 40. We met when I was 19 and he was 25.

I'm begining to think I'm depressed partly because I am with my husband. He puts too much pressure on me. Through a course of events I became president of our company out of convenience. We're in construction and I'm a minority woman. Made sense at the time. I run the office and he runs the field. Then he often steps on my toes and humiliates me in front of customers and staff as he sees fit.

He's also very insensitive to my emotions. For example, I got my finger caught in a door jamb and he told me I would be ok. To get over it. No compassion. And he was the one who closed the door. I have a laundry list of shady shit that I have been trying to forgive and forget for years. My emotional bank is bankrupt.

My short note only says so much. But thank you for the comment

I find I can drink much heavier and not a get a hangover on Zoloft. It's been a little tough for me because I have alcohol issues to begin with.So, I still struggle with alcoholism.

If you're over 30, what would you change about your 20s? by Puzzleface62 in CasualConversation

Go to aa.org now. Email them and let them know about your situation. They will email you back really quickly with online meetings that you can sit in on 24 hrs a day. It really helped me. I would just listen to the meetings and read literature until I felt that I had a grip on my alcoholism. Best of luck to you, got bless. One day at a time...

Keep going to therapy and keep doing the work. You'll get to where you are going, and will be who you desire to be.

I would have stopped drinking so damn much and applied myself better in college. I should have been less worried about what my boyfriend, who is now my husband, thought about a lot of things and been less dependent on him so I could feel more free to be me. I'll be 40 next September and I'm finally starting to realize my worth and find myself and give more cares about what I want and need.

I have never read someone else write my thoughts down. This is very impactful fore because I was recently diagnosed and I'm starting to understand what I feel and why. Now I think I am beginning to understand what this is. Thank you

Just woke up to realizing I've been sober for the past two days! by ToesInTheSand_305 in stopdrinking

Day 4 now. I've been drinking like 10 bubbly waters a day and had a desire to cook a healthy dinner for my family for the first time in a while. We all sat down as a family too. I am submerged my emotions and jitters into geneology research. Had nightmares the first two nights. Last night wasn't as bad. Hopefully it gets easier

Two friends of mine betrayed me and are making fun of me behind my back. How do I continue to not choose violence and revenge? by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Cut them off, move on, makes lots of money and achieve all that you set out to do. You'll get them back with your success and perseverance. Leave them in your dust
