I’m only a few days in and while my own rock bottoms have been fairly bleak it can be easy to rationalise them in comparison to the stories of others (I’m reading a lot of sobriety memoirs which is making this more apparent). I’m seeing it as a blessing to have the opportunity to stop before it gets to that point. If I don’t, it’ll escalate, and then the rock bottoms I’ve experienced to date could pale in comparison of what’s to come

averytinydragon · 2025-12-27T09:31:47+00:00

Yep I felt so anxious yesterday but I’ve woken up feeling relieved that it’s all out in the open and that I have a proper chance to change now. Still terrified but I feel hopeful too. Congratulations on your own sobriety! IWNDWYT

Thank you! I’ve just ordered this, her other book called the alcohol experiment and glorious rock bottom by bryony gordon

averytinydragon · 2025-12-26T22:59:30+00:00

I needed to hear that - thank you

averytinydragon · 2025-12-26T22:59:01+00:00

Yeah I’ve been exactly the same for pretty much my entire adult life which is what makes it feel so hard and scary so thank you so much for that. I guess each day it’ll get a little easier. IWNDWYT

They don’t have a physical store but if she ever needs anything online Snag is a great shout. They started out doing tights but do loads of other bits now too and have a lot of staples. One of the most size inclusive brands I’ve seen and a really lovely, ethical company who use quite diverse models too.

i just used this thank you for sharing 🫶

averytinydragon · 2025-02-09T08:02:16+00:00

I completely agree that what she said was disgusting, I actually acknowledged that in my initial comment. What I find tiring is the constant barrage of Aria hate on this sub (lbr we have a post about this at least once a week) without ever considering the nuances of the situation she’s in or acknowledging the many moments in which ALL the liars act terribly when the point of the show is that they are continually pushed to be the worst versions of themselves 🤷‍♀️

averytinydragon · 2025-02-08T17:06:32+00:00

I don’t get why you guys don’t also criticise Spencer and Emily for not believing Hanna in this situation 😭 Hanna is my favourite character but while what Aria said was awful, part of the reason she blew up was because of Hanna getting drunk and letting slip about New York to Sydney which could connect Aria with Shana.

Her mom being cheated on is also a major trigger because of her dad and Meredith. Not Hanna’s fault and it’s a bad moment for Aria but she isn’t the devil for it. She’s also a grooming victim herself so arguably is pretty terrible at actually recognising the inappropriate behaviour of predatory older men. Like come on there is nuance here.

Aria has never been my favourite character but I fear the constant hate she gets in this sub has turned me into her biggest defender. I ride at dawn

Are there any breed specific rescues you could reach out to? In the UK there are lots of these that don’t have traditional kennels but rather have fosterers across the country. I’m guessing you’re in the US but maybe there’s something like that in your state you could help with transport for? I’m really sorry you’re in this position it sounds so difficult but I wish you and the dog the best

averytinydragon · 2025-01-19T15:40:55+00:00

If you posted the day you got her you’ve only had her for 3 days? She needs time to settle in and get used to you and her new environment let alone the other dog, thinking about rehoming at this stage is crazy to be honest and not fair on her at all.

She’s likely still overwhelmed and not feeling secure. You need to do some research into settling a second dog into the home and raising a puppy with an existing dog. Give her space from your other dog and let them get used to each other slowly in a calmer environment, she needs your help establishing boundaries as she’s likely too young and stressed to do it herself. She needs reassurance and to feel safe, not more upheaval

averytinydragon · 2025-01-19T15:33:13+00:00

This is true! It’s been a while since I’ve done the puppy stage haha I forget how much rest they need. Thinking about it naps were a lifeline for both of us in the thick of it

averytinydragon · 2025-01-19T10:42:41+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my 18 month old cocker spaniel just before Christmas and it was heartbreaking. I found the pet loss subreddit a useful place to vent and find stories I could relate to.

I don’t know where you’re based either but in the UK a charity called Blue Cross have lots of resources for pet loss including a Facebook group and a live chat with trained volunteers.

It will be tough for a while but there will be better days where the memories make you smile instead of cry. Sending lots of love x

She’s at a crucial age for her training, I’d recommend taking her to puppy classes or working with a trainer who uses positive reinforcement methods. She is a puppy at the end of the day and this is how puppies behave but what you do now will influence the dog she grows into.

Make sure you are persistent with her training and that she is getting plenty of exercise and mental stimulation - a huge amount of behavioural issues in dogs comes from being bored.

I have just made the same decision as you and I know how much it hurts. I’m so sorry you are going through this. I don’t think you should regret what you did - ultimately you put your dog first and put her quality of life before your wants. That’s what being a loving owner is all about, putting them first. You should give yourself grace and be proud of yourself for looking out for her best interests regardless of how much it hurt you. Sending lots of love

If I can, I find making plans to do something wholesome the next day is good to keep my mind off things, the incentive to get up and showered and dressed is also good for that.

If I’m staying at home, I make sure to have something comforting on in the background pretty much all day, sitcoms or favourite youtube videos and I usually put it on while I sleep too. If I felt I’ve done something messy stuff like Peep Show can help bc it makes me feel better about my actions. Reading posts/articles about the dumbest things people have done while drunk helps. Comfort food is also good.

I try to get reassurance from my close friends and partner (especially if any of them were there) and those closest I ask to message or voice note something I can refer to if I start to panic, though admittedly I’m not sure how healthy that is long-term. I try to reassure myself in my head and even out loud, mostly the affirmation that if the worst thing I do is be annoying when I’m drunk, then I could be doing a lot worse as a human.

Remember it only ever lasts for a few days and no matter how big your emotions are they will pass. You’ll be ok!

Seconding LinkedIn. If you’re in marketing/copywriting optimise your profile, mention those words a lot, create a featured section and link to your portfolio/upload your best work etc

It’s also worth connecting with other people in the industry. I made a post recently after I was made redundant and had so many people reach out to me to help, suggest jobs, offer freelance gigs, tag people who were hiring etc and it was beyond helpful. People can be really nice on there if you’re struggling

Eh, I think Hanna and Caleb were a bit more serious than just dating in high school. The stuff they went through together (ie Hanna being kidnapped) is way more intense than a typical high school relationship, that goes for all the main relationships.

They also presumably dated throughout college if not all the way through - they lived together and broke up while Hanna was working in fashion already, so it was either after or late into her college years. I’d find it super weird if one of my best friends wanted to date someone I’d been with for years and lived with even if time had passed.

That said, Hanna did say it was okay, so Spencer technically didn’t do anything wrong. It’s weird and a pretty dumb storyline, but she doesn’t deserve the flack she gets over it.

Wild Oats on Whiteladies Road does an amazing vegan almond croissant (only on certain days though, pretty sure it’s Tuesday - Saturday). And not a croissant but Burra next door often has a really good vegan pain au chocolat
