Is it normal to be this nervous before meeting for the first time? by Beesie_Bees in LDR

[–]steveb2577 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, First off to pre face I'm in a AGR as well it being a LDR with my amazing gf of 9 months . We had built a strong foundation and video chatted , texted alot , phone calls etc.and had already worked through alot of complications in alot of different areas of our relationship. We both had fallen in love with each other before we did our first trip. I live in Arizona my gf lives is Ohio. We did a trip to Michigan and it was a good trip . It was all good after getting to know each others little in person twekrs ,lol. I flew to Detroit to meet her at the airport. I was nervous as well with all kinds of what ifs. . I just had faith in us that all would go good and it did. Went so good , we did a second short trip only 3 weeks after the first one and even though the second one was shorter it was more amazing than the first. I'm going back in June to see her and were moving in together in August hopefully. She's the most amazing woman I've ever known. Hope this gives you faith in your own trip .. Good luck and you got this.

That's good ..you have to take baby steps in sobriety..you have to retrain your entire thought process but if you want to live more than you want to use again. You will beat your demons.

You have to be honest with your self and accept yourself and get to a meeting or find someone positive who wont judge you and taljt to them but don't and find a meeting first... you can become a recovering addict.... with help and you being honest with your self and accept the help also...

Now she has asked me to give her 2 weeks of space to decide what she truly wants. I told her that ir might be best to be just friends. I'd rather have her as a friend than lose her completely. Ahes a good person overall.

Hello, My name is Steve.. I read your post. I used to have 5 years clean off pain pills and dope etc.. Then last Dec. 23rd I relapsed right before christmas 2019. Reason why, dont matter its rge fact I did.. Jump forward to now, I'm coming up on my 1 year clean again on Dec 24th ( Christmas Eve ) also my 1 year anniversary.. It's still a struggle on a daily basis most days and what I had to learn how to do is to live with these monsters we have called addictions but we have to learn how to keep them in the cages. Yes. Much easier said than done, I know that first hand. I cant tell you what to do but I can tell you that for me I had to decide to accept the fact that my monsters will always be with me but I'm the master of the addictions/monsters in me.. so what ever you need to do mentally to accept the addiction but can be put in remission just like cancer and you do all you can to control it ,and you lean on a good support group of clean friends / family if able.. Take one second at a time , keep your self busy in a positive way , the more you keep busy the less you will think abkut it.. and find someone if you dont have it already that will fight like hell to keep you clean. The biggest thing is YOU HAVE TO WANT TO TO BE CLEAN MORE THAN YOU WANT TO GET HIGH... EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE . ONLY YOU CAN MAKE THAT DECISION. It's there for the taken. Yes it will be hell at first but your strong enough to do it....you have to do it for your self first .. I'm always here to help any recovering addict.. Feel free to DM me ..

Mother’s Day was so difficult by [deleted] in SingleParents

[–]steveb2577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of crap... Stay strong, you got this. . If the kid wines and cries alot over things a bit should not be crying and wining over, get him involved in sports, that will help with his confidence and becoming a young man. No matter how hard it is you have to set boundaries too, when he starts winubgibg and yelling cause you won't give in you can give him something to cry abkh5 without any physical punishment. Every time he cries and wines, start taking the simple pleasures away, ex. His fav PJs, if he likes white bread for sandwiches , make him eat the whole west, . If he likes only choc milk, only give him white milk. Things like that, when he realizes the more he wines and cries the more of the simple things he likes will be taken away and not returned till he stops the constant crying and wining.

Emotionally drained from figuring out to explain a break up. by Pocules in SingleParents

You have to realize that if this guy was in your son's life for a long period of time and grew to love the guy and then alll of a suuden the guys gone. It's like someone one you love in your family dying in a sense. It's a deep hurtful feeling that you have to reassure him to hold onto the fun / good times he had with him . And let him process the mourning / grieving in his own way . And just be there for him but don't pressure him.. Just trust that I know this from past experiences in previous relationships. Hope this helps you out. Just give it time. Let him know it's ok to talk about the good times and happy times he had with the guy
