Seconding stopdrinking on reddit. I went there a lot in my first year, definitely a good thing to read others’ stories and engage in a community. I’m two years and almost four months sober - by the end of my drinking I was having maybe eight drinks per evening. The first month was really one day at a time for me, but…

A lot of my early sobriety was very quiet socially. I focused a lot on what was going on with me - how I felt, what my daily life would be without alcohol - and less on time spent with others. After a while my social life actually got a lot better as I didn’t have the running internal debate on how frequently/how…

Besamé 1930 (noir red) and 1922 (blood red) are awesome blackish reds. They last all day too.

My own experience is similar to yours, so I have to say that meaningful experiences really started happening when I was 18-23. I had never had a best friend until college, same on a boyfriend. I barely socialized during high school and in retrospect I am glad - I was more mature and ready for interaction once I was…

I was in elementary special education, working with autism and behavioral disorders. I definitely burned out and gave myself so much grief for it. I also got sick every few weeks. In retrospect, I know that I didn’t need to be so mad at myself - what I was doing was very emotionally and physically demanding, and I was…

Congrats on five years! Sobriety is the best. I too am sober and am dealing with a lot of bad memories regarding current events. But I think living a sober life can help us cope with the bad stuff.  

Mine is the 29th, I’m always traveling, there is no point. I had my bday in September last year.

Biotin supplements! Great for head hair and nails too!

So good! I especially like the use of music in those eps.

Also, uh, don’t use your wife’s phone for cheating purposes? I wish I could get $48 million for being unremittingly stupid...

Mini tater tots topped with pineapple-habanero-barbecue pulled pork and aged cheddar. Virgin margaritas for me and craft beer for Beau.

Hi from Howard County! Yay Maryland!

I hear you. I support you. I really really recommend the subreddit stopdrinking. It’s like a meeting you can access any time. No forced religious aspect, no judgement, just constant support and affirmation. There is a daily check in thread where you state your intention to not drink - focusing on one day at a time.…

Have this, love it. The contour shade is cool enough for my pale skin and the highlight/shimmer is great for the brow bone. It's the perfect travel palette - if you are okay with purple all the time. Every darn palette has purple. Tartelette in bloom has purple, Lancôme audacity in Paris has purple... I don't really…

Oh dear! I'm sure your boobs are perfectly boob shaped!

Haha yep... I was kind of worried about mentioning it because it almost sounds like they’re visibly lumpy, like a bag of rocks haha. But nope, totally normal. I was glad to get the sonogram though, just to make sure all my lumpy tissue was okay!

Also for larger dense breasts. I have lumpy breast tissue and I’ve had sonograms. The tech had to dig in a bit but it all worked out! No boob problems, just dense tissue.

As someone who teaches Shakespeare to teens, I’m hoping that this, a) isn’t totally awful, and, b) gets my kids interested. Please let it not suck.
