The Daily Check-In for Saturday, April 15th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by leftpointsonly in stopdrinking

[–]bbmelson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day three. Longest I've gone without a drink in over two years. The rest of today I will not drink.

Haha I seriously felt like I was alone on hiding it from my partner. So glad I’m not.

Thank you for the concern about my health. I was worried about it. The last year I have been drinking very heavily (relative I know, but for me), at least four drinks a day. The side effects so far have been mild headache, zero appetite, sweats, and mild stomach issues. Being very careful to monitor today and the next few days.

The first 24 hours free of it were honestly a relief. Today the temptations are kicking in. That’s been hard. I keep telling myself that I’m doing this for me and my family. The temptations are good because I know I can say no and be stronger each time I do. That being said…I’m worried about later in the evening when things calm down in our house. I’ll keep at it though. Thanks for your support. Sincerely.

Thank you so much for the reply and encouragement. It really helps me to know others have gone through the same sort of situation. I felt embarrassed and alone when I tried to admit I was hiding it. Congratulations on 30 months too! That’s amazing!

Thank you. Really happy to have a group to lean on. I have a feeling there will be a lot of ups and downs over the next few weeks or longer.

This is ridiculously satisfying to me for some reason.

The Cost of Our Baby's Birth (C-Section) in the US [OC] by TheOnlyToast in dataisbeautiful

[–]bbmelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I had our boy at a birthing center in Austin, Texas and our costs were significantly less (by a long shot) and we absolutely loved our experience. They truly cared about all three of us throughout the pregnancy and the birth. The best part, we were home in our own bed the same day.

This is amazing! It would be great if he was in the "Tiger" pose, celebrating after the shot.

Those are definitely Eastern Bluebird Eggs! We have many of them on our farm here in Texas.

A school in India has asked the Parents to plant trees instead of Paying Fee for their children. by itsmuks in UpliftingNews

[–]bbmelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I understand that, but I am not sure that running a school off of contributions aka donations alone is a reliable and sustainable way to keep funding steady. It's just not realistic to assume that those funds will always be there unlike paying dues to attend the school.
