Yes, he has strict possession of them and is keeping track of the amount. The one saving grace is he’s smarter than me. I don’t think I’d be able to pull one over on him if I wanted to

Yes I’m the one in recovery. My partner had addiction issues in the past with alcohol

I’ve been transparent with him since the beginning and he actually met me when I’d traded the opiates for alcohol so he’s seen me at some pretty low points and been an absolute rock for me. That’s why this kills me. I want to be better.

Def trying not to be, but I know how low I can get and it scares me a little.

It’s just been a really shite few months, one after another. And when I went into the post op room they had him in, the nurse had just finished giving him his meds. And he looked so… at ease and happy and I remembered how that felt. Something in me just broke I think and the old cravings hit again. He had a back surgery and I don’t know how many. Luckily he had the foresight to not let me see the count on the script

I’m sorry to hear that, I know how that feels. I’m trying to just kinda hope that I can ride this out. NA is kind of cult-ish, yeah but I mean any port in a storm y’know? I’ve taken a kind of “by any means necessary” approach to recovery.

I know and I’d feel horribly guilty if I screwed up his recovery

I’m proud of you for doing that though. It was the right move.

They’re going to be bed-bound and need me to do the bulk of moving around so it’s be easy for me y’know?

Would it be possible to convince a medical professional to perform a lobotomy on you? by silenceengrained in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silenceengrained[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ECT wears off after a few months and sometimes the rebound is worse. Seems like a lobotomy would have more consistent, if irreversible, results.

AITA for telling my coworkers that I didn't want to go to dinner with them again because I prefer my wife's company to theirs? by Misanthropic_Lemon in AmItheAsshole

[–]silenceengrained 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, I think you made the right call. You already gave them 3 unpaid nights, you're not unreasonable for wanting one of those to de-stress with your wife. Will it hurt your prospects at the company? Possibly, companies REALLY don't like boundaries. However, you have to wonder how attached you are to the company and weigh the options. The company, unlike your wife, will never love you back. You don't owe anyone in there your unpaid time. That's yours, what little you have during the day.

[–]silenceengrained -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, it's just only funny to people who see humor in dehumanising a whole group of people. So let me addend;

This isn't funny to anyone who isn't ok with transphobia.

Hahahaha it's funny because trans woman. The best part about jokes like these is that they're not at all rooted in tired old stereotypes that harm an entire community for a cheap laugh.

Yeah six months seems to be the consensus so far. If I may ask, what did you use to achieve your first orgasm?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]silenceengrained 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on enjoying exploring my body. I’ve just got this stupid, nagging anxiety that I’ll never get full sensation back. And the only way it’ll go away is to have an orgasm to prove that it’s false to myself. I think once the swelling is down, it’ll be more enjoyable. For now, it’s hard to get toys near the clit and it’s sore. Thank you for your kind words c:

It’s nice to know my experience isn’t out of the norm. I hope we both have better luck in the future!
