No. It’s not. That’s what we are all trying to tell you. Either she: A.) Is doing hard(er?) drugs again, and she’s going to be back on the needle soon if you don’t man up and do something. Or B.) Lied to you about what happened while she was gone. There are literally no other options.
“Did you know that Bombas is owned by one of the Shark Tank Sharks?” “Owned or just invested in it” “Owned” “Which one?” “The Latino guy” “Huuuh?” “Mark Cuban”
Did you voice your issues with her going incommunicado for 24+ hours and your skepticism wrt to a lack of a phone charger? Relationships are all about honesty and communication, Roy. I’m rooting for you but her breaking down into tears is a preemptive strike to mitigate your feelings.
She was upset about our friend. She hooked up with old druggie friends, got fucked up and her phone died and she lost it. I don’t think for one second she fucked any of them. I am pissed though and she knows it. She’s here now.
Yes. Because a recovering addict getting together with friends she used to do drugs with during a time of grief is an ideal situation for any type of sobriety.
Yeah. Like I said I’m pissed. Ryan from turnpike troubadours was there. Parick’s older brother. She wanted to talk to him. We were all good friends. I’m not as mad as I was but stilll mad.
I always wondered "aside from the elderly who could possibly be gullible enough to fall for the Nigerian prince scam?" Now I know
The resemblance is uncanny honestly. Except you are sports focused and he is "hold my beer whilst a make this great life decision focused."
This is what my parents fridge looks like. Stresses me out and I don’t know where they put the actual food so I guess they just eat sauce all the time.
The Real Roy Williams youve got to put the booze down for a couple of months. You’re playing victim to the circumstances of life. Just take it one day at a time. The people here are offering okay advice but you have to find out for yourself what makes you stronger. Developing validation from someone else and not who are is detrimental but you won’t be able to see clearly until you sober up and become receptive. This board is very good at not enabling but we see it as being attacked because we build our self worth on outside opinions. Deep down you are a good person and I pray in time you will come to find the gift of recovery and being happy, joyous and free. Come back to the private message with us when you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. *That goes for anyone here as well. We have a private recovery thread where we share our experience strength and hope with each other so we do recover. We are here to assist anyone with getting into recovery!!
I know. I’m a member of that thread and post in it. I’m not even drinking that much usually I just freaked out a bit and got pretty drunk.
She has a custody agreement and her daughter is with her dad right now. I’m done talking about this. I’m sorry.
You tell me that you're sorry, Didn't think I'd turn around. And say. That it's too late to apologize. It's too late. I said it's too late to apologize. It's too late. Too late, oh uh
Quit saying you're sorry all the time. You really need professional help man. I think zero alcohol would be beneficial. And I think breaking up with her would also help. She relapsed...what are the next steps here?
I posted a picture of some souvlaki that were expired in october. I found them yesterday. We throw out some vegetables and fruits fairly often. The sauces are not expired though, that goes back to the start of this conversation with the mustard. She knows it’s good for a while so she buys it whenever it’s a special without really looking if we already have some. We end up with 5 types of mustards and 4 bbq sauces.
I know there are some things in the last 5+ pages in this thread that are kinda big and important and scary and sad and all of that...but to me, as a soon-to-be 40 year old...the most sad thing is that I've never tried shrooms and it sounds like the time has passed me by.
same. When my brother and I lived in the house, my mom cooked for 8 so we had a second meal that could be eaten in a few days after being reheated in the toaster oven. Now that we are out of the house and have been for 7 years, she still cooks for 8 people, but nobody wants to eat the same meal 4x in a week. So she freezes the rest. That soup gets thrown in the freezer for the next time they are craving soup. But 2 months later when they want soup again, she forgets that she has 2 dinners worth of soup in the freezer and makes another one. Wash, rinse repeat. Over christmas, I went through their fridge and threw away at least 10 of the gallon ziploc bags of soup that were dated in 2011-2012.
Less than two days later she’s texting me last night about a basketball game and is now back to snapping me throughout her day like nothing happened. Definitely a DH supporter due to lack of self-awareness and flawed logic.
Not necessarily. Everyone handles it differently. If it were me, I think you need a strong setup like with a small group of close friends. I wouldn’t recommend doing it alone or going anywhere once y’all start tripping, assuming it’s everyones first time. You should definitely try it at some point
sounds like if i want to do shrooms, the first thing i need to do is acquire enough friends that an outsider would constitute it as a "small group". duly noted
You and devine would be enough, plus you boys already live in the same alternate world so this would just push it a little further.
Maybe I do and I have to quit drinking like I do. I have a doctors appointment coming up,with a specialist. I’m not breaking up with her though. Not a option.
Silver lining: psilocybin and lsd actually help some people kick drug dependencies (nicotine and opiates).
I suggested a very highly rated Cajun/southern bbq place for dinner ‘We can’t eat there I need to eat healthy’ Ok fine. We go to a place of her choosing instead. She gets an appetizer. Then an entree. Then dessert. 5 minutes after we leave she wants to get donuts at Krispy Kreme.
