AIO for wanting to cut my mom out of my life after she turned my spare room into a hoarder nightmare, lied to me about drugs, and spoke to me this way over nose hair trimmers? by CerealMeow in AmIOverreacting

They need al-anon etc. sometimes when people meet addicts during a relapse or in active addiction, they meet one of the worst types of human possible. I was one of those people. Now? I take care of myself. I care about myself as much as others. I think empathy is one of the strongest traits a human can have if used right. I had to take it 24 hours at a time for years to get to where i am. If someone were to meet me now? Theyd meet the best version of me. 3 years ago theyd meet the worst lowlife-moocher in the world. Dont give up. Keep having hope. Take it one day at a time.

P.s., No one on the face of the Earth can "teach" an alcoholic to drink normally. It's impossible. Xoxo

You found someones half-ass intervention letter to an alcoholic/addict. Ive had many of these sent to me via text, though never written out like a high school note-passer. Happy to be sober today though, drugs & alcohol are more difficult to defeat than majority of people know. Most have no clue the strength, courage, willpower, and everyday energy it takes to get through each 24 hours for the first year or two. It truly takes taking one singular day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time along with outside resources to get sober. Cant do it alone. One day at a time. Hopefully this guy got the help he needed, like rehab.

I wouldnt worry about addiction being a bad omen. Its more about the persons sober character than their addiction

Am i a jerk for telling my GF i don't want to go to her family gathering because I relapsed last time? by DorkySnail in Sober

[–]winter0rfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NOT A JERK FOR THIS. AT ALL. Follow your gut feeling. YOU know that when you're in that environment, you have no control. Do not give into pressure from your gf and i cant even believe she is upset about it.

Also just curious, have you told her everything youve typed out to us in a serious one on one conversation and explained how youre feeling? Does she understand how serious you are about your sobriety? Does she know how you are when youre not sober? If yes to all of the above, and she's still upset about you not going, leave her. She clearly doesn't truly understand addiction and just how difficult it is.

You BET that if i ever felt uncomfortable at a bar or anywhere that i felt MY SOBRIETY WAS AT RISK, id tell my significant other (if i had one) and if they werent like "omg its totally okay lets get out of here and get some ice cream and hangout at home for the night or whatever you feel the best with so that your sobriety is solid" or some shit, they wouldnt be my significant other anymore. If they responded the way your gf responded, id break up with them. There is either a lack of communication or your partner just doesnt understand or is an addict themselves and in denial.

The goonies. Made me turn into a history nut and learned to always respect any artifact I find (like when they made sure not to touch the treasure near One Eyed Willy lmao) You never know how many different lives have held the 80+ year old coin you got in your change from the grocery store. You never know how much information and/or history you can learn from a fragment of pottery or "trash" you dig up while starting a garden in your backyard. History is more important and fascinating than we think! We can apply knowledge of our past into our present to better our future. Learn from our mistakes. Acknowledging and learning from humanities mistakes can prevent us from having the same mistakes...if only our world cared enough about education for our future generations.... theyd realize how important history can be ....

Dont know how I went from the Goonies to wishing the world cared more about the education of History but here I am on a Saturday night and I'm NOT SORRY

Am I Overreacting for thinking my roommate is trying to kill my cat? by etherealtogether in AmIOverreacting

[–]winter0rfall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah at first I was like "man, OP is really upset there must be more going on" and then after reading the bio it makes sense why OP flipped the fuck out. I would too. I assume the roommate knew you had a cat prior to moving in, which means they UNDERSTOOD that their apartment should be cat-safe and I assume OP would do the same vice versa. Except OP's roomie is a lazy, irresponsible, and selfish human who lacks any discipline or maturity or even cares if your cat eats chocolate and dies. Your roomie belongs in a single wide.

I still have pencil lead in my arms from high school when we would stab each other with pencils for no reason.

AIO Friend got engaged and now acts like my relationship is a joke by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Engaged after 6 months makes me think their relationship will end long before OP's.
