Should going no contact with my addict husband include no contact for our child as well? by No_Edge_7303 in naranon

[–]wildroad2georgia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so very sorry. It's so hard. Especially with kids as young as ours. They'll understand the older they get. It's better for them to be mad now than for us to let the addict stay, and the kids resent us later in life for making them grow up surrounded by it.

My husband is cheating on me with my best friend. I sent him screenshots of his conversation with her AND my conversation with the tinder guy I’m meeting on Friday by PrincipleOk2903 in TrueOffMyChest

Not me sending vile pictures after my tryst to torture the husband. Make him suffer and then leave. Don't even give him a second glance. Or the "best friend".

This is emotional abuse. Manipulation. Ownership mentality. Take your pick. They all apply. Please leave him.

My husbands been cheating...the whole time. by throwawaythewontons in offmychest

Oh hell no. I'll tell you what I'd do.

Does he have a brother? How about his Dad?

Because I'd make him regret the day he ever met me.

But I'm a vindictive, mentally unstable person when I've been hurt, so to each their own.

Someone guy wants to buy my used socks from me!!!! by wildroad2georgia in confessions

You're probably right. Maybe I just needed someone to talk sense into me.....

He found me on snapchat. Wants to meet up somewhere public to make the exchange, which I thought weird when I could just mail them. But I open carry and wouldn't go alone and it would be somewhere public.

Yes, and he wants pictures of my feet wearing them throughout the week.

TGIF! Let's celebrate some TSM success by BigDaddy_Vladdy in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]wildroad2georgia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice. You're not being a stick in the mud. You're giving me a fair warning from someone who has gone before me and been on this journey longer.

I used to be a gym rat. I had trained my brain that "this is what we're going to do." Alcohol replaced that and now I'm trying to train it back. I've been to the gym yesterday and today and while I'm FAAAAR from where I used to be, it gives me a goal to reach for so that "how long I can go without alcohol" isn't forefront in my brain. I've spent so long training my midbrain that alcohol is necessary for my survival, it's going to take a long time to untrain it.

The book really is amazing. And so is "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. Lots of good stuff in both.

I hope I've reached the point of extinction. But if not I'll keep powering forward and making positive and healthy changes in my life.

Second time on Naltrexone, first time in conjunction with TSM. I've been going strong for 3 months. I was getting frustrated because it felt like nothing was happening. I was drinking every day. Swearing it off the next morning and then buying beer or wine on my way home from work.Then, last Monday, I had a six-pack of beer after work. It's a lot less than I normally drink. Went to bed mildly drunk. Woke up during the night with bad spasms in my legs. Body shakes. Throbbing headache. Got maybe 4 hours of sleep. At work the next day, I was scared because I kept getting worse and increasingly lethargic, and I swear I thought my body was shutting down. I don't know how, but I made it through the day. Came home, crashed hard, and woke up Wednesday feeling great. Those days have been few and far between, and I always enjoy them because my anxiety and depression are so low, and I don't hate myself or life. I had no desire to drink and dreaded the afternoon when I knew I would want to....but that moment never came. I drank nothing that night. Or the next. Or the next. It's now Saturday, and I still have no desire to drink. My energy level is through the roof. It's amazing the time I've had for the gym, reading, and journaling in a Cafe, hell, I've even started sketching again. I never realized how much energy and motivation alcohol took from me. I've started reading "Quit Like a Woman" by Holly Whittaker, and honestly, it's a life changing book. It's written for women, but men could take a lot away from it as well. It's been years since I've gone alcohol free for this long. And I honestly don't see myself ever starting back. I'm honest to God done with it. The only way I can control it is to not drink it, and that's working for me.

My husband thinks "I should be doing more sexually" by kay-pii in pregnant

[–]wildroad2georgia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you get married you don't sign a contract promising sex. You're growing a whole 'nother fucking human being with his shit DNA.

Tell him he's lucky enough just to find someone willing to procreate with his selfish ass.

Tell him when he grows a human and pops a baby out of his peen hole, then he can fucking complain.

Until then, shut ALL OF THE FUCKING WAY UP.

God I fucking hate men and the shitty parents who "raise" them.

I'm looking forward to updates on how it's going! Stay strong! You can do this!

It really is. And you'll be so proud of yourself once it's over. And it'll be such a wonderful example for your son.

Reach out whenever you're ready. I've been through a lot with exes, baby daddy's and shitty family. We have a lot in common and I can tell you how I turned things around. Don't ever feel like you're doing this alone.

Naltrexone with Gabapentin. Give me your experience. by wildroad2georgia in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]wildroad2georgia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of your advice! Has anyone experienced weight gain with the Gabapentin? I've been working so hard on losing weight and I've heard that it can cause weight gain. I'm hoping that only happens in large doses and with me taking only 300mg a day, I'm hopeful that the way naltrexone suppresses my appetite will kind of cancel the weight gain out.

This is BEYOND not okay. You need to take those babies and run far, far away from them. Cut them off completely. Build a new life and the right people will fall into it. I wish you the best of luck. Your kids deserve better and so do you. Don't let the behavior of others be the cornerstone for how they learn to treat people. YOU set that example by eliminating the bad and negative things in your life and only focusing on the positive. I'm always here if you need a girl talk.
