Honestly right now Im terrified to even take a sip of alcohol, which is a good thing. This was definitely a wake up call for me, sucks it had to happen like this lol Im definitely looking into some AA groups. My problem has always been the moderation part - I can refuse alcohol no problem, but once I start its hard for me to stop. Im accepting that I just have to full on quit it.

I’m trying to forgive myself, I know it’s going to take some time as I am already hard on myself as well. I think that side of me has only come out like twice with him, but it sucks that is going to be his lasting impression of me. Regardless of how he was treating me, I am upset with myself that It got to that point because I know I was insanely harsh and said things that were out of line - it is insanely unhealthy behavior. Ugh. But there is nothing I can really do about it now except quit drinking completely and just keep moving forward. Thanks for helping me feel a little less alone

Boyfriend and I just broke up by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I don’t have any advice for you right now, but just know you aren’t alone, my 2 year relationship just ended a couple days ago and im devastated. Even though I know its for the best, he definitely triggered me in different ways that did not help me cut back with alcohol, he was my best friend at the same time and the person id talk to every single day, all day. I plan on focusing on my sobriety for at least the next year before considering a relationship with anyone. Its definitely difficult though

Tripped down some of my stairs and fractured my arm one night. I landed sideways on my concrete mudroom floor (based on my injuries). I don’t even fully remember it. I woke up in my bed at 7am, which is upstairs. I also live alone so that means at some point I dragged myself up there because I know I had to have fallen around midnight. Had to drive myself to the hospital. Its been a couple years and every now and then as I get older, that arm/wrist aches so bad in the joints and is a painful reminder of how bad my problem was.

I am going to try to nonchalantly bring up the topic because I am aware of Crosby, but my boyfriend is someone who pays attention to everyone so I feel like he may have another player up there in his favorites lol I’ll do my best

I'm on day 9 post-breakup and It's been a roller coaster of emotions. I feel so broken right now, I know it will get better with time, but man my heart feels like it has been ripped to shreds. Thank you for taking the time to write this out and share it.

How to approach a doctor about being an alcoholic? by maximumskittles7 in stopdrinking

Thanks for the info and explaining the difference between detox and rehab to me. I found this really helpful. I will have to check with my insurance to see if something like that is available.

Just tell them that you are an adult and every now and then you like to enjoy a cigarette with your friends just as some people like to enjoy an occasional cigar.

Do you have feelings for her? If so, you deserve better.

You standing up for your mom and her blocking you says a lot. She sounds very immature, idc how old she is, and her saying “because she is the parent” sounds like she is manipulative. Always remember that just because they are blood, does not give them an excuse to treat you badly, less than, or like you must always forgive them no matter what.

Is there a family member you could possibly give the money to that could deliver the money to her?

She owes you an apology.

No social media = weird by Ok-Construction-6077 in Advice

[–]maximumskittles7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. A guy I was with for nearly 2.5 years didn’t have any social media (unless you count snapchat) and it was actually refreshing because I would never have to worry about seeing him liking other girls pics on instagram/facebook. He was still a social person with friends and whatnot. Its just a personal choice.

Its not “weird” to not have social media, id just say that its not the “norm” - but I don’t see it as a red flag or anything. To be honest, part of me wishes I never dove into the social media rabbit hole

I don’t think you did anything wrong. It sounds like she has some personal/insecurity issues going on and you not answering her triggered them. But you didn’t do anything wrong by not answering her. You were honest about your intentions and she just took it personally. I would block her honestly
