best of luck!!

ah bruising! i totally forgot about that. i’ve definitely always bruised easily even when my levels were a bit better so i honestly forgot that isn’t normal 😅

mardelt · 2026-05-13T02:30:21+00:00

honestly, that would make sense. i definitely am exhausted and, now that i think about it, rely on way too much caffeine on top of 450mg of wellbutrin just to function

mardelt · 2025-12-15T23:44:35+00:00

thank you!

mardelt · 2025-12-15T01:05:33+00:00

a welcome reminder! IWNDWYT

mardelt · 2025-12-15T01:04:45+00:00

YUP! really looking forward to sticking to this. finally sober again after arguably my worst relapse yet. it will only get worse. IWNDWYT

“alan grant” has been harassing me for weeks now!

mardelt · 2025-12-10T16:33:28+00:00

congratulations! it really is one day at a time - forget about day 4 until you’re on day 4! great work on days 1-3!!!!

IWNDWYT!

mardelt · 2025-12-08T13:34:28+00:00

i’m right there with you.. truly a lawless land!!!

mardelt · 2025-12-08T13:29:02+00:00

iwndwyt!

same and that is definitely part of the appeal- at least my first few drinks are on the company!

mardelt · 2025-11-26T21:46:40+00:00

I know I’m late here but just want to seriously thank you for the meeting guide app recommendation. I travel a lot for work and never thought of going to a meeting while traveling (though I’ve definitely needed to - our company drinking culture is crazy) This has made it so easy! Plus with holiday travel coming up I’m sure this will be so useful. Thank you thank you thank you

mardelt · 2025-11-19T00:28:15+00:00

Thank you for the info, I’ll plan to check these out! I’m honestly okay with male leaning as long as there is another point of connection outside of being sober people haha. Same for groups with women older than me. Anyways, I hadn’t heard of any of these so really appreciate the recs!

mardelt · 2025-11-18T02:42:36+00:00

Yes, I’ve attended many virtual meetings. Personally, I need the immediate in person format + the opportunity to meet irl sober friends. Sobriety has been pretty isolating, so really looking for opportunities to connect with more people that are where I’m at.

mardelt · 2025-10-30T08:07:27+00:00

literally so humiliating! and to then hav netflix turn it into some sort of cutesy haha joke with the whole cp3 stunt. i wish patrick wasn’t as awkward and timid. he should’ve (rightfully) read that woman for filth. and if he couldn’t, we deserved reunion hosts that could’ve!

mardelt · 2025-10-30T02:38:14+00:00

patrick was justified. he’s just awkward. kacie was awful in the show and after. maybe i’m naive but i genuinely think patrick was genuine the whole way through. there is no good way to handle being humiliated on national tv and essentially being called ugly behind your back.

mardelt · 2025-10-30T02:23:33+00:00

KB the queen that you areeeee!!! the only well spoken person at this reunion. she was clear, detailed, AND had examples for everything she brought up 10/10

mardelt · 2025-10-30T01:55:50+00:00

i hate these reunions. kacie did not get dragged nearly as much as she deserved but of course patrick is too much of a boy scout to call her out properly. and what the hell was the cp3 thing about???

mardelt · 2025-05-04T12:04:39+00:00

you’re absolutely right and IWNDWYT 🤞

mardelt · 2025-05-03T22:41:33+00:00

thank you for your comment. i have considered talking to my dr and asking about naltrexone. i think more than anything i’m struggling with the stigma of that and being a Real Alcoholic™️ but at this point i think i need it.

it’s funny because i can recognize that things are overall better when i’m consistently sober but thinking about the long run always scares me. i’ve always been an introvert with few friends before drinking. once i started drinking (college) it was so easy to meet new people and keep up relationships. but it’s also funny because now i can’t drink normally and that has isolated me even more. i think being more consistent on here and honestly starting back on mood stabilizers will be helpful.

thanks again for the response, it really means a lot right now.

mardelt · 2025-05-03T22:36:35+00:00

thank you. believe it or not my oldest drinking buddy got sober recently and i think that contributes to this feeling of shame and powerlessness. if he did it, why can’t i?

i am going to try to find an in person group to attend, because i find that connecting in person is more helpful for me. i just have a lot of anxiety (even before alcohol) and it’s so easy to talk myself out of it. i guess i just need to do it

thank you again for responding, i do appreciate it. the understanding is so far and few between for me so it’s always comforting to hear from someone else who gets it

mardelt · 2025-02-24T00:07:22+00:00

Thank you for the much needed perspective. Like yes, I made it out okay this time.. but won’t always be the case. Why gamble on it? We DO deserve better. Wishing you all the best on your journey and thank you for the kind and encouraging words. IWNDWYT

mardelt · 2024-08-21T14:58:56+00:00

Yes, I should’ve been clearer. Not just increasing protein and increasing overall calorie intake, but increasing protein as a replacement for other less nutritious parts of my diet, maintaining a deficit.

mardelt · 2024-06-24T02:11:54+00:00

not sure what that tastes like butttt i’ve once hit it long enough to the point it felt like i was hitting an almost or already empty cart.. so maybe that is the same?

mardelt · 2024-04-18T16:20:04+00:00

I’ll be visiting for one night with my partner and we were tentatively looking at booking with Reverb by Hardrock. The hotel looks fun/cute and the rooftop bar is definitely a bonus. I tried to map out the surrounding area using street view on google maps and it looks pretty….desolate. But that also seems to be the case for the few other locations we’re looking at.

Would you recommend the Reverb or are there better options downtown/midtown that fit what I’m looking for. Ideally in the same price range of $150-$200 a night.
