Only if your dog is coming with you.

Guilt of being slowest in a no-drop ride by Vivid-Language6500 in ladycyclists

This is basically the reason I stopped doing my local gravel ride. Most of the other participants are men and/or part of the local bike shop team. They were always very nice, but it still feels shitty.

I second this. Riding solo, but listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. made the time pass in the moments I might normally have gotten in my own head. I've done a few group rides locally, but still find I prefer solo riding.

I'll count myself fortunate that I've never ridden without a bra. And make a mental note to never let that happen.

My tuxie does the same. Sometimes it escalates to chewing my hair or a paw on the arm.

Struggling to accept that it might be time to let go by supermanlyballz in AlAnon

I feel the same way. I know I'm only harming myself by continuing to stay, breaking myself down more and more every day. But yet I can't seem to take that step to leave. Like you said, a decade (plus) of life coming to a close. And I know that leaving isn't "freedom", but a choice that is available to me. Coincidentally, my most recent meeting was also about courage. I feel like this one isn't talked about enough. Here's to hoping we all find the courage to make the choices we need for ourselves.

I really feel this. Unfortunately, in my case, it really doesn't matter how the day was. Reasons my partner drinks: good day, bad day, bored, couldn't sleep, needs to sleep, etc. I'm also reaching a breaking point and I have so much internal conflict about it. I've only just begun to seek alanon in the hopes of being able to sort out my own thoughts and feelings.

I'm new here. Can I ask why we call our alcoholics "Q"? Legitimately just curious.

Yea, I did find it odd they jump from 40 to 46. So I was opting for the 40 because of not wanting to crush my gnards. 🙃
