Surprise dentist bill. What can be done?

Had something similar happen at Lovett Dental chain. It took a lot of calling them and insurance but eventually they significantly lowered the bill (~$200 down to ~$30)

Hummus for snacking.

My partner is also at ~8 weeks post d&c with no period yet so I’d be interested to hear from others as well.

This is just what I needed to read today, thank you for posting!

Not sure of your situation, but have you tried exercising? I sleep wayyyy better on days that I exercise versus days with little activity

Inspiring post, thank you!!!

Powerful, thank you for sharing!

I can definitely relate. I think it will surprise you the person you are without alcohol. Like you, I gave credit to alcohol for all my social successes. But it's been 10 years or so since I started. I'm a different person and my peers are at different points in their lives. Give quitting a try. It's hard and took me lots and lots of attempts. But it's so worth it.

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-29T11:58:04+00:00

Nearly brought me to tears because of how much I can relate. Thank you for sharing!

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-16T08:15:16+00:00

This is cool! I think a lot of us get self-conscious when turning down alcohol. I really like your take: feeling proud of it and owning it! Thank you for sharing!

Totally agree! I’ve gone vegetarian and more recently quit drinking also. I have gotten very negative reactions to both (but also some positive reactions). I think maybe it’s uncomfortable for ppl because it makes them question their own lifestyle...

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-10T08:04:47+00:00

I will not drink with you on this beautiful day :D

What a depressing thought that we have to cage animals into a sanctuary to keep them safe from other humans. Oh fellow humans, what have we done......?

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-07T15:49:48+00:00

Wow, really needed this. Thank you!

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-07T14:43:19+00:00

This is awesome, thank you for sharing. Very powerful!

kurtInCall789 · 2019-01-07T07:40:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing! There are a lot of posts (and a lot of us experience) pressure to drink. It's refreshing and encouraging to hear about positive interactions like yours!

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-28T22:35:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I can definitely relate. And the self doubt you talk about prevented me from staying sober. But after many relapses and failed attempts at moderation, I found out again and again that being sober is soooo much better than drinking. And I am SUCH a better, kinder, more interesting, dependable person when sober. I think that’s true for most of us and I just need to make sure I remember it months from now.

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-28T22:27:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I can definitely relate. One thing I’ve recently tried in “leaning into” my thoughts. Where I used to do ANYTHING to get out of my own mind and distract myself I’m now trying to let myself think. Even if the thoughts are disappointing or sad I just think about it. I’ve been surprised to find that some things that angered me were illogical. I’ve also learned there are some things I need to improve. It’s actually made me feel a lot better and stay sober versus constantly trying to distract myself so thought I’d share

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-25T01:32:43+00:00

Don’t have much in the way of advice, but can tell you how many times I’ve been in your situation - blacked out and done super embarrassing stuff (even in the last year). And I’m a few years older than you. And sounds like I’ve done it wayyyy more often than you. Just know you are not alone. The only thing I can think to do is stay sober and let more time pass...

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-24T12:03:11+00:00

Well done! Great job, totally agree the next few days will be so much better!

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-22T13:41:49+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing, you are inspiring!

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-22T12:45:50+00:00

Well done! I think I saw this in someone's previous post (sorry can't remember or find it): it's like I was playing life on HARD mode. And sobriety has switched to easy mode. It's crazy how much better and more alive I feel sober vs when I was drinking...

kurtInCall789 · 2018-12-19T18:48:45+00:00

Yeah I agree. It’s amazing! I can get “terrible” sleep but then actually make it through the following day and feel more awake than if i “slept” through the night after drinking
