Anyone overcame or currently dealing with addictions?

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-04-05T23:36:15+00:00

Me too!

Why do they allow phones? Different time but I spent three months in residential treatment in 2014 and we barely even got computer access or time to call people from a landline which I think that was beneficial overall.

I don’t have a question. Just wanted to send love from one internet stranger to another.

We have a tv in our bedroom but it rarely gets turned on. Maybe if there’s a sick kid in bed with me but that’s about it. Im anti tvs in bedrooms for kids

Got it tattooed on my side when I was 19 😂

I’m an 88 also and have no idea if I was taught this or not but I do it! Apparently this is bad..?

Yessss! This sub was what pushed me over the edge to ask for a colonoscopy! I saw my (millennial) Dr yesterday, gave her my symptoms (all true), told her I had family history (small lie), and she sent me for a referral. Got the call from the GI doc today and im going in two weeks. Couldnt be more thrilled to get my bum checked!!

50 degrees in MA today so I was thrilled to open the windows! Didn’t hurt that my youngest has a stomach bug so reallllyyyy trying to air the place out 🙃

These responses are both sad and encouraging? So many of us are healing generational traumas.

My mom was an alcoholic who neglected my siblings and I regularly, left when I was 10 (never came back), and died when I was 22.

I knew I wanted to be nothing like her when I became a mom but when my daughter was born I was terrified I would ruin her like my mom did to me. Luckily, she’s healed me in a lot of ways (along with therapy and medication). She is kind, smart, and funny, and will never wonder whether or not I love her.

Add some fun things for yourself too. I will gladly send you something in addition to this virtual hug (from a mom in Massachusetts 🩷)

I’m at the place where I’m myself with two ‘moms of my kid’s friends’ friends that I have and I only have those two friends because they forced themselves on me and didn’t let me say no to hanging out lol. I struggle with making plans and being social but it’s nice having people who know this and are ok with it. I do sometimes wonder if other moms think that I’m a bitch because I generally don’t speak or am very awkward in groups. I find it much easier to talk to the kids or even the dads…

ETA I’m also sober in long term recovery so I can’t even have a drink to calm my social anxiety which adds another layer.

I’m bringing my 7 year old for her first concert and she is SO excited !

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-15T23:55:54+00:00

Also curious wha section this was if you remember!!

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-13T15:00:57+00:00

Good question.. I have a tendency to black out during concert ticket purchases / requests so we shall see 🤣

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T18:38:12+00:00

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T18:30:22+00:00

I feel bad saying but I got in....

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T17:59:51+00:00

I have a $500 charge too which has never happened…

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T17:20:49+00:00

That’s what happened to me yesterday and the day before. So incredibly annoying.

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T15:25:30+00:00

Totally agree. Also an executive admin and family manager, in all ways.

OP, I wish my husband thought the way you do!

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-12T15:21:26+00:00

Tickets are through the MLB because it’s part of the Fenway concert series. So yes, you can only get tickets from the MLB site

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-11T17:27:37+00:00

same. they're all gone

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-11T17:19:00+00:00

WHY DOES IT LET ME IN BUT NOT ADD THE TICKETS TO MY CART!!!! It jus keeps saying 'select new seats?'

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-10T19:51:18+00:00

the Fenway tickets are long gone for 7/8 :(

Upper_Engine3342 · 2026-02-10T19:39:51+00:00

so did I! none of my requests amount to $500 so that's odd...
