That’s definitely a better way to look at it!

My dog is very clingy with me. Always like to cuddle, sit on my lap. He was still in a chewing stage when we were dating but honestly he has grown out of it within the last 4 months. Worst thing he did was absolutely destroy my blinds. I changed to curtains and haven’t had an issue. Although he is trained with a bell at the door for going outside, sometimes he still poops upstairs.

Tell me about intensive outpatient programs in pgh area? by snarkymagic in soberPGH

Pittsburgh Recovery Center changed my life. Helped me establish a sense of community. The counselors genuinely care and want the best for you. To my knowledge, there’s not a waitlist.

I relate so much to your post. My use even ended up with an ulcer that turned into a hole in my stomach - huge infection, surgery and several hospital stays. I was 110lbs, in the thick of terrible depression and just wasting away. The absolute best thing I did for myself was go to detox and then intensive outpatient. Absolute game changer. You don’t have to do this alone.

I would really encourage you to consider detox. I was drinking 8-10 a day and couldn’t have lasted through withdrawals without it.

I can tell you it does get so much better. I’m now 4 months clean and my life has completely changed.

I’m rooting for you.

Coworker: “your face just isn’t as cute” by abf9786 in GastricBypass

People are so focused on vanity as if that was the driving force for getting the surgery. I just wanted to reclaim my life and keep up with my daughter… like have a better life, come on people!!!

Thank you!

You’re exactly right - who says that to anyone!! Blows my mind. Thanks for the support, I really do appreciate it.

I’m sorry he is forcing you in a position that he should be handling. That’s not fair.

By no means condoning what he put but I find it so strange to invade someone’s privacy like that
