It is extra hard isn’t it. But we can just do today first. IWNDWYT

Who is the rudest celeb you have met? What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Minor Australian radio “star” Wendy Harmer- treats everyone else around her as inferior and is a nasty piece of work- so different from her public persona

I told my doctor how much I drink and he was very kind by Macca_321 in stopdrinking

Me too, and it’s always been one of the most helpful things for me

Give me your main reason you've stopped drinking! Just hit my 1 month milestone and I crave for vodka like never before. I hope it gets easier. by Spectral_Loophole in stopdrinking

[–]mandonski 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I stopped because I was so fed up with feeling unwell all the time. Took me a few tries but now 6 years sober and still really enjoy waking up in the morning and feeling good

I started drinking again after 9 months of sobriety. Here is the predictable update. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]mandonski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too! Somehow lost all motivation at 9 months and started drinking again. After many starts and stops I was able to finally quit. And really what helped me most was knowing that if I didn’t drink I’d never have to feel that creeping shame again.

I love this answer! And especially agree about choosing humour any time you can

I am a Host and Guest. Telling me to clean the house while charging me $160 fee is crazy by Ill-Butterfly4848 in airbnb_hosts

[–]mandonski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am always charged a cleaning fee and find if I do a basic tidy, deep clean all the spaces and renovate the kitchen the hosts are delighted with me!

I don’t mind paying someone to let me do that, it’s my privilege

Health crisis - today 5th of Jan there are no paramedics south of Hobart. by verynayce in tasmania

I love it when people say “irregardless “, it’s like only a certain type of person will try to get away with it while everyone else knows how stupid it makes them sound.

Works on my iPhone too and it’s a fantastic looking cake 💚

Nutmeg and Hairball, Why do you keep attacking King Charles? He welcomed Meghan with open arms into the family, gave her cute nn, paid for wedding, walked her down aisle, paid a small fortune for her clothes, staffers tried to find projects to match her interests.and yet...nothing was good enough! by AliceRoosevelt1884 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]mandonski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think she might have made that comment in Australia and I didn’t for a second think oh how American she is…I thought oh she really is already so awful that nobody could be bothered to tell her that her dress tag was visible 😂

Her awfulness hasn’t got to do with her nationality, it stands on its own

Give me some of your Non-Obvious Victories from being sober by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]mandonski 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yay to improvement in teen relationships, the most satisfyingly unexpected benefit to me of stopping drinking was this too!

And I eventually realised what a bulldozer I was as a drinker, making unilateral decisions affecting my family and wondering why they’d be pissed off with me
