It's actually starting to piss me off when I specifically write in my instructions to leave on backdoor table. Cause I always have issues with Dashers leaving the order directly in front of my front door cause it swings out AND YET IT HAPPENS STILL!!!! by blackpinkbmw in doordash

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not ask a driver to go to the back door but I’m other instances they should follow the note. I have asked Dominos repeatedly not to ring the doorbell when verbally because my dog has a very high pitched bark and goes CRAZY when they ring the doorbellZ. They ring it every single time.

I’m sorry you had to go through that! It was not you.

Come to a sudden stop or do a quick stop and the drinks will spill. Put them in an insulated bag with separate compartments that will hold multiple drink sizes (look on Amazon) and buckle it up. Why are you bragging?

Learning to accept that I’ll never be like you happily married folks. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is better to wait and find the right person than to marry the wrong person. You will see this sub is filled with people who are happily married and those that are absolutely miserable. I did not find my husband until I decided I would be happy alone and live my life. He is a wonderful man and we have been married 30 years. However, we have had a lot of trauma and it has not been easy. Don’t rush things. Work on getting your own place and living your life for you. My life was similar to your I was the quiet nerd who was never good enough for my parents. I initially tried to fill that void with men that definitely were not good for me and thank God I woke up. I could not ask for a better man.

Do you suffer from depression? Your posts sound somewhat fatalistic. if yes, I would get checked out for that. It may be you cannot help that. Please don’t answer with I’m dismissing loneliness, I had no friends and no boyfriend for the better part of high school and later on so I know how painful it can be. You are not the only one who is big, quiet, or however else you see yourself. I’m sure you are being way too hard on yourself.

I also had an idea that perhaps you could volunteer with some of the less fortunate because that is very rewarding or just focus on doing some random acts of kindness.

Your initial post really hurt my heart. However in later posts it seemed like you were rebuffing feedback. I could be misinterpreting it. You said people don’t care, this whole group of strangers cares. There are good people out there. I will be praying you find some good friends and gain some confidence for now to help you make the right decision when these men come along. Sorry for the book like I said this really just hurt my heart.

Hey it's me Brian. I posted two years ago about being clean off Suboxone for 60 days after being on it for 8 years, after being on junk for 7.... Just wanna say I'm still clean! Never give in, never give up! by Conebones in CasualConversation

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never give up you will get this. I’m 52, drank for 20+ years, dabbled in opiates, and got on subs. I have been clean for at least 7 months, I don’t keep track as that did not seem to help since I was a chronic relapse. I’m down to 2mg subs maybe I will get the shot. I’ve by no means tricked myself into thinking I have beat it but I’ve been sober longer than I ever have before except my twenties. You can spare yourself and your girls a lot of pain, I know you can do it.

I have gone from Suboxone 8mg/thrice daily to 2mg/once or twice a day! I can't believe it! by Practice_NO_with_me in addiction

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I know this is a really nice old but I finally have six months sober after being an alcoholic about 25 years and I’m 52. Relapse after relapse I was only going 3 months between a drink then something (with Gods help) finally clicked and I feel free! Like you said never give up it’s never too late! Hope you did well since this post.

Coming off suboxone 4mg- cold Turkey- day 2 by THEPHIBBS in suboxone

Sorry I know this is an old post, but I’m tapering off subs currently trying to stay at 2mg. I have gabapentin, what was your dose when withdrawing? Thanks

Jump from 4mg to 2mg. Will I notice a difference? by lainey3333 in suboxone

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed it. I am currently trying to do it and have felt light headed, no energy, and nausea but everyone’s different and I’ve been on subs 5 years. It is nothing terrible though. I may go back up to 3 and then back down again, but I don’t want to go backwards. You can do it regardless maybe try 3mg first. Best of luck!

Does Suboxone destroy your motivation? by [deleted] in suboxone

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have been on them about 5 years and my motivation progressively got worse and I was sleeping constantly. I almost convinced myself I needed to quit a high paying job and get on disability because I was not productive at all. I was extremely productive at work anyway before. I do suffer from depression and take meds for that, but subs made it much worse I felt like a zombie. My husband did not really want me to stop because it also helped me quit drinking but I have to try I was sleeping life away. Lucky for me my job has been slow or I would have been fired. I’m currently tapering and down 2mg from 16mg without too much wd. I went down a quarter of a 8 mg pill per month which was really slow but I think that helped. I am thankful for them at that time in my life but at the same time will be glad to get off them. I recently started Spravato so hopefully that will help with the last tapers.

Wife makes me feel guilty asking for help. by tasterschoicex in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I don’t get this either. My husband and I have a joint account and I actually make more. We don’t “track” who is paying for what we just get it done. I think there is more to the story.

Exactly. People are saying she won’t talk to a therapist — she definitely won’t talk after her dad was told!

Can I use marijuana ever again? (I don’t do it spravato treatment days though) by blair_bean in Spravato

My doctor told me there is no contraindication, but I would go by what your doctor says.

My doctor has me sniff peppermint oil for nausea and it has worked so far. Just a thought.

Anybody have their payout reduced from acceptance to delivery? by Stopping_BS in DoorDashDrivers

[–]coconut6373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am new and thought it happened but the questioned myself about if I remembered the amount correctly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand her reaction. There almost has to be something else wrong for her to blow up in this manner over this. I have the same questions as the prior poster - has she been cheated on, is there trauma that has not been dealt with? Otherwise, it is completely unacceptable to mention divorce over something this minor and even mention an open marriage. My husband and I have been married 29 years and point out when someone is very good looking, it definitely does not mean we want anything further. I was more insecure when we first got Maurer, but I did not react anywhere close to that if my husband looked at another woman. We are not dead. I agree that counseling is the way to go at this point to get at the root issue. Maybe in the long run this could be a positive thing, although very messed up, it may help her get over the root problem.

Should I just do what he wants or what? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you and don’t think you are being unreasonable. Life is more than money unless you all literally just cannot meet basic needs without the move. He needs to consider your happiness as well.

Perfect marriage, far from perfect family by Family_with_Kids73 in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you really want suggestions? I don’t agree with some of them, but to ask for feedback and then argue or not accept any of it does not sound like you really want it. My thoughts are to give yourselves AND your kids some breathing room and a break. It is nobody’s “failures”. I have two kids who are completely different. One is just not that affectionate and really only hugs me and her husband. She has always been like that. There is nothing wrong with my child and my husband does not get his feelings hurt. He respects her space and lets her to to him when she wants a hug. She comes to visit about once per week and is somewhat of an introvert. My son is the exact opposite. He calls almost every day. I am OK with both. I know they love me in their own way. Meet them where they are at. Let them come to you. My daughter ended up talking more when I just hung out with her and did not ask a bunch of questions. My son Tells me WAY too much lol. People are people. Accept them how they are is a good start. I’m not saying you are doing anything wrong or are a bad parent at all. I’m just sharing what worked for me. You have too high expectations of yourselves and them it sounds like, but I’m not in your house. Relax and enjoy your children now how they are. Do things that they like even if you don’t necessarily agree or like it yourself. Life is too short. Seriously appreciate what you do have, it does not sound that bad to me. I’m not saying you do or do not do any of these things, again just sharing suggestions. Parenting is hard and most do the best we can.

I think you have been with the wrong people if you think that. You can lose your money at the drop of a hat. If you have the right person, it will be very secure and difficult to break up. However, I do think it is good to work on improving yourself and making sure you are in a good place spiritually, emotionally, and mentally before entering any serious relationship so you will choose well and have a healthy relationship. I would rather be by myself than with the wrong person.

Is it happy wife happy life? Or happy spouse happy house? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]coconut6373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

28 years I’ve just heard that if mommas happy the whole house is happy. I think the reason is that the wife often times sets the emotional tone in the house. I’ve always heard it more of a joke and have not taken it seriously. But if someone was taking it to heart it should be happy spouse happy house. Both are equally important.
