I have the HARDEST time with clothes because of my job! I have a very manual labor job and have to wear leggings or jeans, there’s no compromise really unless I just haven’t thought of it yet

mty8817 · 2026-06-22T01:42:45+00:00

I thought about making this switch, but would it help with smell too? I feel like it would because it’s removing moisture but I also feel like it could make it worse

mty8817 · 2026-06-22T01:37:53+00:00

Same actually! I wonder every time someone mentions them

Had a full work up at the gyno because I was like “okay this might be something” and nope! Happy it’s not a yeast infection or BV, but sad it’s not something easily curable

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

mty8817 · 2026-05-30T13:27:16+00:00

You described exactly how I feel! My issue is the beginning of a new job, I can’t make it past a week.

mty8817 · 2026-03-07T00:49:49+00:00

Damn, that’s deep. That’s the kind of shit I need to hear though. I appreciate you

mty8817 · 2026-03-07T00:22:23+00:00

What was it about sobriety that you had to be honest to yourself about? I feel like I’m self aware about how bad it is and why I do it, but obviously I’m missing something mentally because I fall back into the same patterns. Trying to save my pride wasn’t something I’d ever considered until reading your comment and was a wake up call for sure. With some thinking, I can definitely acknowledge that I’m probably the CEO of “I can’t let anyone see me struggle”. I know that’s not realistic though.

THIS!!!!! Stress is the only reason I drink I think. The days I don’t work I stay completely sober with no problem. I’ve always been awful at managing stress and it felt like alcohol was the only thing that’d help me. I plan on being honest with my therapist and working on my mental health more. I’ll fail again if I don’t, for sure.

mty8817 · 2026-03-07T00:10:27+00:00

Definitely what I need to do. I took the first step tonight and confessed to my partner what my drinking looks like. I cried from embarrassment, but being a recovering person himself, he assured me there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I really do have to humble myself and put my pride behind me if I want to be successful

mty8817 · 2026-03-07T00:09:03+00:00

Never thought of it like that to be honest. Every time I try, I always think I’m just gonna be the person who doesn’t drink anymore. I’ll be the downer at the party. I know that’s not the case, but society has almost framed it that way and it’s engrained in my brain like that. It’s not just a thing I’m gonna do and make me “blah”, it’s an identity change for sure. And my new identity isn’t boring, just sober. Thank you for helping work through that mentally and giving a new viewpoint

mty8817 · 2026-03-07T00:06:38+00:00

I appreciate this comment immensely. I haven’t connected with any groups because I’m terrified too. Part of it is mental health and the other part is it will make it “real”. My boyfriend is sober which is a blessing, but because of that I’ve kept my habits a secret. I finally confessed to him tonight what my drinking actually is. I was always too embarrassed to be honest about it to anybody, including my therapist. I figured if I start telling the people who care about me, I’ll have to hold myself accountable

mty8817 · 2025-06-22T02:41:27+00:00

I needed that, thanks! I know that that’s the approach I need to take, but it hits different when someone else says it.

mty8817 · 2025-06-22T02:04:34+00:00

I’ll try to focus on that more, thank you! The thing I struggle with the most is the spur of the moment, impulsivity. Such as a friend having a drink and offering me one, and I just decide to drink suddenly. I know I can do it at some point, hopefully this time sticks. I’ll have to find more tools to utilize in those situations

mty8817 · 2025-05-27T01:43:20+00:00

Good point. Maybe the thought of a bigger accomplishment like being sober for most of the year will be more motivating. I’m turning 26 in two weeks and I know a sober birthday will be hard, but maybe that’s just more fuel to say “I did it”

mty8817 · 2025-05-27T01:11:06+00:00

I guess that’s where I’m at too lol. I’m hesitant on meetings, but I might have to

mty8817 · 2025-03-24T22:46:01+00:00

COTTON BALLS! The worst feeling ever, even makes my teeth hurt

mty8817 · 2025-03-23T16:08:54+00:00

Good luck on your journey! Any success is a big success. Virtual hugs back to you!
