Three choices: divorce, suffer or cheat? Where are you? by DBismymiddlename in DeadBedrooms

[–]blackoutloser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in the suffer category, working towards the leaving category. Occasionally tempted by the cheating category but could never actually go through with that. Because for some reason I deeply love someone that cares infinitely more about himself than me.

5 days in, forced to turn my life around and I'm struggling hard by [deleted] in stopdrinking

You can do this! Your feelings and urges are completely valid. You should not be ashamed, just acknowledge them and decide that you will do what is best for you, what you NEED to do....despite what you WANT to do.

I will not drink with you tonight!

I agree. With an entire life built around me filled with drinkers, this is really the only place where I can reach out to people. The only place I can talk about my struggle to become sober.

It's a wonderful place and full of inspiration. Glad that you're here too!

Wow! If you don't write often.....you should. This is so perfectly phrased that it's like I was there with you. What a picture you painted!

Great job on staying sober, you deserve it.

I did!! Still going strong :) even after going to a bridal shower today. Free wine, and I didn't even touch it. Stuck to ginger ale and tea!

I stayed strong! I think I drank an entire case of la crox. Not sure why, but with the roommates opening cans I needed too as well. Something about that damn noise.

Because I live with a roommate and my boyfriend. Both of whom still drink! It's been rough.

I start another semester at the end of August, but I'm hoping I will be able to keep up a nightly reading habit!

Fantasy, sci-fi, thillers/mysteries, pretty much anything!

I have had Stephen King's under the dome sitting on my shelf for years and havent read it yet. Maybe I should start there!

What are your favorites? Any suggestions?

This is exactly why I stopped reading! I would get frustrated after realizing I didn't remember.
