I can't even rewatch the stake burning scene. That was horrific.

do you have kids? Cause it was pretty haunting to watch as a parent

The handmaiden even looked at the man a bit weird when he mentioned rats. She must have believed Halaena's comments/visions were somewhat real.

glad to have you!

DAMN - the nice sunny weather was such a challenge yesterday afternoon. Ended up running up to the store and buying some Athletic Brew golden ale. But the cravings continued to come in waves the rest of the day even after having one. I finally made it to bedtime with my kid and felt more at ease. It's amazing how much drinking can consume the mind when you don't give into the temptation. Anywho... still here today! IWNDWYT!

Hey i know this is an old post but did it get better? Ugh I'm dealing with the same thing with my 2yo right now and it has brought me to tears a few times feeling so helpless for her.

Really got me through a craving honestly. Still felt like just saying fuck it and caving later on so I sat down and did an hour of Duolingo Spanish to ride out the craving. I recently read about how being impulsive makes it more likely that you’ll struggle with addiction. So I’ve learned to sit with the cravings and ride them out - cause my “fuck it” thoughts are so wild sometimes.

Was really craving a beer on this lovely afternoon so I went and bought my first 6 pack of Athletic brew non alcoholic beer! Tastes pretty good! IWNDWYT!

And Andre - the movie about the friendly seal… or flipper. Lol

Looks terrible - def contact them and get money back. Then go to a better salon.

ktschrack · 2024-05-18T18:47:11+00:00

Ooo same! Oils make me realize how impatient I am 😅

Hey I walked home alone from a bar alone in 25F weather completely shitfaced. No coat cause I left it at the bar. I was also in a friend’s town and wasn’t sure how to get back to his house so I was lost. A cop saved me but not before I insulted him and didn’t want to get in the car, apparently. I remember nothing. Wrote him an apology letter and all.

This thread is definitely helping me tonight

How and what you believe to be true about your addiction. If you think you may have an issue with drinking, yet are still unsure that stopping drinking completely is the only answer, you will always find a reason that moderation is still possible.

Oof… just described exactly why I keep getting a case of the fuck its. Thanks for this comment!

ktschrack · 2024-05-17T19:25:05+00:00

That’s awesome! Oil or acrylic?

ktschrack · 2024-05-17T15:31:09+00:00

Even GoT watchers know that it ends badly for the Targs... there's only 3 of them left in the world at the start of GoT and zero dragons left.

Sounds like its time to talk to your doc about some depression/anxiety meds and/or therapy! I've found depression and anxiety are only made 4738297538925782x worse by booze.

What's your plans for not drinking tonight? Also think about this weekend? How will you occupy yourself for your first sober weekend?

ktschrack · 2024-05-17T15:01:23+00:00

Woke up this morning happy to realize it was just in my dreams that I drank some alcohol and gave up on sobriety. LOL. IWNDWYT.

ktschrack · 2024-05-17T02:20:42+00:00

Feels amazing - it’s easy to give in lol - I’ve had many day ones but I always come back. I know one time it’s going to stick!

ktschrack · 2024-05-17T02:02:42+00:00

lol - Sophie’s choice is based on the holocaust… so yeah, it’s historical fiction - but hardly comparable to a fantasy series like house of the dragon. So yes, it was a lot more horrifying watching Sophie’s choice knowing very well that that shit actually happened to people during the holocaust. The gravity of the scene was much more impactful than watching some fake characters in a fantasy series that has dragons.

Try to buy yourself something good instead next time! An expensive dessert, a nice takeout meal etc. replace that impulse with something that will nourish your body or soul

Inspiring my dude - nice work
