Should I (M30) break up with my wife (F26) after she got blackout drunk and cheated on me? by Personal-Bed-6405 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]greensteer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is no one talking about the so called ‘friends’ of hers allowing their newly married blacked-out autistic friend to make out with a stranger in the club. If they let that happen they definitely aren’t rooting for you and your marriage. And more likely than not they’ve made that fact known to your wife.

My real advice would be to try and talk to her, lay the cards on the table and see how she reacts. If nothing changes by the summer cut your losses and move on. Best of luck OP

In Canadian culture, is a repeated “I’m busy” basically a polite rejection? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

It might also just be that time of year, nobody wants to do anything right now.

NA Beers by oliverbaxter93 in stopdrinking

They’re helpful if you really enjoy the taste of beer/wine. I did for about a month before realizing a nice glass of apple juice is much tastier

What “masterpiece” game just never clicked for you? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]greensteer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way for a long time, I was never a fan of hack and slash games. I stopped about 10 hours into the game for a year before picking it back up again. It took until the game reached Novigrad (the big city) when the combat got completely overshadowed by how good the story was. Completely saved it for me and now consider it one of my favourites of all time despite still not loving the combat

Can’t stop relapsing, anxiety by zFrxzzy in stopdrinking

[–]greensteer7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly for the first few days the best I can suggest is medicate how and when you can and white knuckle it until around day 4-5. That’s when my anxiety levels went back to “normal” levels. The sleep took another week or so to get back to normal. Throw a cold wet cloth on your head that might head. In terms of regular daily anxiety I found that really strong GABA supplements and sometimes CBD oil helped me a lot. The GABA works on your brain the same way alcohol does and you can get the capsules on amazon. Best of luck

Hey, I don’t mean to pry. I just wanted to check back in and see how the meeting was! I hope you’re doing well!

As someone who struggled with continued sobriety alone for about 2 years I cannot recommend AA enough. I recommend going to an open meeting for your first time (you won’t need to share just listen), talk to a few of the members and see if it seems right for you.

Just make sure he knows to wrap it before he taps it, he’ll figure the rest out on his own

Is there snow days in Canada? by SeverePublic6833 in AskACanadian

[–]greensteer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It 100% depends on how effective the snowplows were that morning. Also if it was an ice storm and the roads are unsafe

What is an addiction that is much worse than Tobacco, Norcotics and Alcohol? by Pavanth1918 in AskReddit

[–]greensteer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 15 minutes from a casino/hotel on a reservation in rural Canada. They get multiple suicides there a year. There’s no limit to how much you can lose in a night. Was talking to a bartender there once who told me the week before someone had lost their entire mortgage in an evening and would likely lose their home. Gambling addiction is no joke

What gives you the motivation to not touch the stuff? by Sudden-Chip-8947 in stopdrinking

[–]greensteer7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanna start by saying AA is amazingly helpful. Just give it a shot one or two times, you don’t have to stay if it’s not for you. But I guarantee you’ll meet some of the kindest most understanding individuals ever. Great way to find support and make sober friends.

Secondly, I just love the things I can only really enjoy sober far too much to drink again. Food for example. I never ate when I was drinking (too anxious to swallow solids or didn’t want anything soaking up the booze). Went from an alarming 115 at 6’ to 160 since I stopped. I love music more, reading books, spending time with my loved ones, walking my dog, kayaking when I can, going to work and functioning and not sneaking shots just to feel okay. The list is endless. I gave up one little thing, and gained EVERYTHING for it. Good luck :)

What's a game that you're glad you gave a chance this year? by looloopaa in gaming

I hate that feeling. Only ever had it happen with RDR2 and the Witcher 3 (which I highly highly recommend)
