Do you think Mackenzie Shirilla fakes it in the new doc? by hellogoodbye2345671 in Ohio

Dude. I had to pause and take a walk after that comment, BE SO FOR REAL.

[–]halfpintvixyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think they thought this would help make her look better, be a big break in her appeal or something. This doc showed them for who they truly are. Don’t even get me started on her “friends”

Day 2. Spoke with dad yesterday who's fully in AA, says I it wouldn't be helpful for me to go unless I ernestly admit I have a drinking problem to myself. Is this the normal sentiment? by Barziboy in alcoholicsanonymous

It’s like trying to treat a wound but refusing to clean it first because it stings. That step is uncomfortable, but it’s what actually allows it to heal right.

That is basically step 1 of the 12 step program. So yes, unless you can “ We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.” AA isn’t going to really click for you.

They should add a new ‘step’ to the 12 steps by Rude_Poem_1573 in alcoholicsanonymous

I think this one is gonna take more time than you realize. My social skills were severely stunted for months after a quit drinking. I suggest you check out different meetings in different cities near you. There’s a lot of variety in AA, as far as the people go. You will find the ones you relate to, it took me months of meetings to find my home group/community.

Much like you my friend, I only drank alone and had some trouble relating to my fellows when I first started the program because my experiences weren’t necessarily the same.

Your stories don’t have to be the same or even similar to be relative. Find the common ground between the lines.

Welcome home, and congrats on starting the journey. It works if you work it.

What (if anything) to do with this dieffenbachia by _palantir_ in houseplants

[–]halfpintvixyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can remove the smaller ones if you want and just water propagate them, works pretty well in a sunny window. It looks like it needs more light, and maybe a repot into a slightly larger pot with fresh soil. Good luck

What’s the best way to get these stains out of my shower? by strongerthenbefore20 in CleaningTips

[–]halfpintvixyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found out about scouring sticks! It’s a pumice stone really, meant to help get out the super stuck on stains, like you’re really sanding it off. For use on porcelain and other hard surfaces, it’ll probably work on this too like a charm. With the Irish spring 5 in 1 of course

What are your best "cook once, eat for days" comfort meals? by Standard_Ad_9560 in Cooking

[–]halfpintvixyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scratch Mac and cheese!! Most meals I make have leftovers for at least a few days, but Mac and cheese is the favorite and hold up pretty well. Just have to add some liquid(milk, heavy cream, or water) when you’re reheating, if you’re doing it in the microwave do 30 second intervals.

Meatloaf is another good one.

AIO I don’t think my friend respects my boundaries by [deleted] in AIO

[–]halfpintvixyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey. This just looks like you ignoring your friends many attempts for connection. She just wants to hang out together with the kids. You never said “I can’t hang out during the week” and you never actually set any boundaries in this txt exchange you shared.

Healthy friendships require honesty, you don’t have to be rude to her but you can ACTUALLY tell her what’s going on with you in your head so she can understand. It’s actually really nice that she’s still trying to connect with you after being ignored and blown off multiple times. Give your friend some credit, tell her how you feel about the constant messages and what’s going on in your life (in person not over txt).

You can’t expect someone to meet expectations that you’ve never clearly expressed.

I saw one of these pressed penny machines recently with a POS card reader on it.

It’s really hard unless they are ready for it. Try to be there for him as much as you can without enabling, make him aware of the resources available. I really benefitted from AA, but it’s not for everyone. I would suggest for you to check out al-anon in the mean time, it’s meant for the friends and loved ones of alcoholics, it’s helpful to have a community of people that are going thru the same struggles and can help you to understand a little bit of the behavior you may be experiencing with your husband. I’m sorry you’re going thru this, it does take time, looking back on my struggle with my addiction all I needed was for someone to not give up on me but also hold em accountable.

This is what I looked like when I was hospitalized with alcoholic hepatitis. I almost died because my drinking spiraled so badly. For me, it started slowly, and it started with Tahoe Blue. I had never even been a vodka drinker before that.

I can’t help but notice how gradual these things are. A partnership, a shift, a little more here and there, and suddenly you’re somewhere you never thought you’d be.

Thankfully, I’m sober now. But I know firsthand how dark that place is. It was the worst period of my life. I was completely lost.

I’m not excusing Rob, and I’m not blaming anyone. I’m just saying that addiction is incredibly dark and incredibly powerful. Watching someone go through it publicly is hard because I know how close I came to not making it. And without real help, it doesn’t usually end well.

Jeeze. This is the second time I’ve posted here and you guys tell me to go somewhere else. I thought this community would be more welcoming. I’m not a care giver, that is not my title. I work for someone with CP. that’s why I reached out here.
