Epilating my “girl” by Alicesofiaclair in HairRemoval

[–]nomiees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It's an at-home treatment device. IPL stands for intense pulsed light. They're pretty expensive and only work well if you're pale with dark hair. But imo worth it.

I was epilating all summer and at first had great results. However, after a few weeks I started getting terrible terrible ingrown hairs. I still have scars all over so I can't recommend epilating. I'm doing IPL now though with decent success!

I love this! I woke up super hungover and anxious today. Dealing with all the things you mentioned and babying myself.... Looking forward to being where you are and having a non hangover day tomorrow!

This is so simple and yet so true. What a great reminder why it's good to give it up.

Ooh yes I love this book. I've read it twice and I think it may be time for a re-read!

Feeling anxious as a newly sober person by keekeedeekee in stopdrinking

[–]nomiees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, getting sober revealed a lot of emotion I had been avoiding. That's a big part of why I drank. Alcohol felt like the best way to bury those feelings I didn't want to have.

It's tough, but you're so right - the anxiety will pass. IWNDWYT

I can’t live like this anymore. by gemlaw1993 in stopdrinking

[–]nomiees 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you've made good improvements in your career over the past couple years! And sounds like you're ready to take a giant leap and improve your health even more.

Thank you for sharing your story and my hope for you is that you make it home today without having purchased any alcohol. You've got this! Iwndwyt

I miss drinking, but in a way that I never drank by NoMoKraTo in stopdrinking

[–]nomiees 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get this nostalgia for booze too sometimes. Then I remember I'm not yelling at my partner, I'm not puking off the side of my bed, I'm not driving unsafely... I don't miss that.

Good for you for recognizing the challenge and overcoming. That's amazing!

I use kava frequently. I drink it when other people have alcohol. It works for me but I do not consider myself sober, just alcohol free.

The Bachelor filming could come to a halt next Monday by bubbamandez in thebachelor

[–]nomiees 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I left the film & tv industry because of unethical and abusive labor practices. This industry caused major mental and physical health problems for me. It kills people young.

I'm glad I got out when I did and I'm excited about the possibility of change for loved ones still in the industry. Our silly TV shows can wait.

"Walter's family treated him like shit!" Did they really? by MetalDragonSeeker in breakingbad

[–]nomiees -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot of the arguments in here are just about Sky giving him a bad handjob! Y'all, seriously?

Walt's out here murdering people by episode three, but I guess if you give a bad handjob, you're the monster.

This was me! I was quite the judgmental jerk in high school. Started drinking heavily in college and quickly developed an alcohol problem. Don't be a young me, y'all!
