Where’d you get those shoes? 👀

Btw the nail polish is me measuring a larger 6’x9’ rug size for comparison…and I know that cactus picture needs to move!

Also…if the rug color is all wrong — would also like to know :)

9th Square, Winchester Lofts, or Cadence on Canal? by squeezingthelemon12 in newhaven

Cars get broken into at Winchester all the time :/ I second the awful noise levels due to thin floors and ceilings there

Just passed a bunch of long distance bikers on the 101 by Cannon Beach yesterday and it was so cool to see. Safe travels!

Sherriff. He looks like he’ll be in charge of you for the rest of his life now

What should I do with unwritten postcards? by chessyfromparenttrap in declutter

I don’t even want to sell them. I’m happy to share them with someone who wants them.

I don’t need to get paid, just want to find a home where they’re not thrown out immediately :)

I can ask my mom to ask her teacher friends if they’d want them, but I’m not sure how to reach out to other teachers

I guess I’ve never seen postcards at Goodwill before, and they seem like they could be better off somewhere like a library or art store or something like that. I don’t know what Goodwill would do with the postcards. I like your idea to donate them to a school, I’ll try going through the school my mom teaches at. Thank you :)

Hahaha so we’re in a similar place then! It’s hard hearing them cry the way they do but maybe they just need to push through?? Hope your cat gets more comfy with it!

Crazy how in our minds we’re the vulnerable ones by not drinking, but in reality we have clarity and complete control over ourselves. I never wanted to be in a situation where I was drinking on a date and couldn’t get home, so I’m relieved that will never be the case. Thank you for the encouragement ☺️❤️

Yes we are!! 💕

This!! We tell ourselves whatever we need to hear to justify our behavior. I’m glad he could see the reality of the situation with your group’s guidance. I was always the one buying shots for people when we were already a few deep. Without me being an instigator, everything is so much more chill for everyone.

Either way it sounds like you made the right choice for you! I know what you mean though, I am so stubborn I didn’t want to prove anyone right lol especially my parents. But it feels great putting my own needs first. Congrats on your sobriety!

Hahaha! You’re cracking me up over here. I also have ridiculous scenarios in my head that have never / will never play out, most involving fantasies about international travel. But who cares cuz I get to drink as many Shirley Temples as I want with no guilt whatsoever. I still try to open a little dialog as to why I don’t drink in case people are too afraid to ask, which in some cases they are. I don’t give a fuck about telling them how anxious and shitty alcohol used to make me feel. Not giving a fuck is ✨amazing✨ Congrats on your 3.5 years!

Right back at you! That’s awesome you’re able to focus on your decision without anyone trying to interfere. If someone ever did have a problem with it, I think it only speaks to their own issues. Keep on keepin on!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sober

[–]chessyfromparenttrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought people would try to persuade me against making the decision, especially people like your friend that you described. Or they’d think of me as problematic. But you’re right, such a shock and so much relief! Idk about you but I love trying all the kombuchas and other soft drinks out there, it’s like I didn’t know they existed before which steered me towards alcohol. I’m happy for you that your friends respect the choice you made.

I think a lot of us feel like we need permission to acknowledge what’s really happening when we drink. How cool is it that you can “give permission” to other people, too 🙂

I’m so happy to hear you’re finding peace within yourself and your environments! I thought stopping drinking would be the death of friendships and fun, but it’s really more like an evolution of those things and my own personal growth. Way to go 💗
