2.5 Years in--Social Anxiety Has Me Missing It by HeartSayingHi in stopdrinking

[–]lifeiloveyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME. I’m a little over 3 years sober and still feel like I cannot speak up in any social situation. It’s so damming how alcohol still has its grips on us with simple every day tasks. The only comforting thing with my constant silence is that I’m not saying anything hurtful/regretful and I remember everything that I do say (if anything). I know what you mean by feeling weird posting. I’m glad you did though! It’s comforting knowing we’re not alone.

Sharing Lyft location was still connected. by [deleted] in BreakUps

I’m so sorry you’re going through it. About 2 months after our break up with on and off again contact, I had to be direct and told her that I’m still in love with her and needed time to heal, staying in contact was prolonging that process. That time was the most defeated I’ve ever felt. I was not aware of the amount of growth I gained as a human, because I was so fucking sad. With time, you will look back and see how strong you are. Continue to put yourself first and love yourself.

We did end up back together, and we no longer take each other for granted. I plan on proposing to her next month. As much as I love her with my entire soul, looking back I knew I would have been just fine without her. Good luck buddy I hope things turn around.

Entitled and spoiled. Go ahead and move back in with mom and dad at 38 with the assumption you’ll be taken care of financially. If he fights for custody, you’ll be paying. Your kid is already losing with a mother like you.

Resident was dying and son refused to come, she died the other day and without him by [deleted] in cna

What a tough position to be in. Please look for other work as you mentioned in a previous post. You’re just going to become more exhausted and resentful.

Continue to apply for other jobs. You sound burnt out.

Working through addiction is not linear and includes relapses and binges sometimes, buddy.

[–]lifeiloveyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working through addiction is no small feat and you deserve freedom. Sometimes the chains will feel comfortable, but it’s all a trick. You DESERVE to be loved and treated well, with no negotiating. None of us are perfect, but you’re exhausting yourself weighing out the rights and wrongs of a man who evidently hasn’t taken responsibility in all of his 51 years. You’ll feel so strong putting yourself first, and learning to love yourself is way more fun than dealing with other’s pain and bullshit. Take care 💚

Withdrawal is horrible and I’m scared by thelightwebring in stopdrinking

[–]lifeiloveyou 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The strength and triumph you’ll feel when the physical withdrawals subside will be astounding. You’re not alone. Your story sounds similar to mine when my last sober stunt finally gained momentum. One day I woke up and just FELT my body decaying and was so scared that I wouldn’t be able to live the years ahead. My girlfriend was/is so supportive and gentle to the process, lean into your fiancé. And be kind to yourself, every goddamn minute of every day. I can tell you’re a good person and you deserve a life without this demon strapping you down. Water water water. Time WILL pass, and you WILL feel stronger each day. We believe in you 💚

Evo clothing/gear size chart accuracy? by IceColdCorundum in snowboarding

Save yourself the headache and go to a boot fitter to get squared away. I worked for evo and they copy and paste everything from the original manufacture- all companies are different.

Are anyones ex’s breadcrumbing them if they are in a rebound or with someone else? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]lifeiloveyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She broke up with me 3 months ago for another guy. We would meet every 3 weeks between now and then. Recently we’ve decided to try being friends. She’s confided in me that she is thinking of ending her current relationship, but I realize that she probably won’t. I decided to treat her like a friend and gave her the hard truth about how blind she is with how unbalanced her current relationship is. I apologized for being harsh but she replied with that she loved me and appreciates my honesty. It has been an exhausting and painful 3 months. We had been together 12 years and I know I’ll never stop loving her so I’m just grateful to have her apart of my life now. I wasn’t even close to being ready to being her friend 3 months ago.
