Look into Moderation Management! It’s all about structure and setting rules that work for you. I have a similar problem. I’m not an alcoholic, but I do like drinking a bit too much. I love wine and craft beer, and I love the feeling of being buzzed. I’ve already cut back a lot from my worst drinking, which was self…

Yaaaaaas.  All of those were great!  Fingernail biting for sure!

Was that the one where someone appears and like, charges at her, and she runs for her car? Gahh!

Yup!  The one about the girl taking photos of the pond in the fog kept me awake that night last year!  😲🤪😳

Wow, that forest and that beach both look incredible! Also, doggo is adorable.

So, non sequitur: It is late and this is probably dumb, but I am getting excited for the annual scary stories event in October! I don’t have one to share, but I really look forward to it every year.  <-- yes, I am a nerd.

Those eyes. There is nothing on earth like a good dog. Congrats :) 

she is honestly the funniest dog to photograph, i swear she knows exactly what she’s doing and how to pose for the camera

I’m 23 years old, I know I’m overweight and possibly even obese (according to one doctor who wrote that on my patient report) but I find so much comfort in food. I have such disordered eating at this point. I don’t know what to do 😔

Setting rules is the only thing that works for me in most behavior changes. For drinking, I make myself drink a glass of water before a glass of wine or beer, and in between each. I try to limit my choices to lower ABV options, and I usually stop after two drinks because:

Thanks. We have plans for brunch and some paddleboarding tomorrow, so at least there’s that. And my kids have sung me every diarrhea song they know through the bathroom door...”People think it’s funny but it’s really wet and runny...”

Say yes to everything in the beginning! By that I mean school activities, clubs, floor mates asking if you want to hang out and watch a movie, etc. Just open yourself to the possibilities and try everything once. And have FUN. You’ll have plenty of time to figure out adulthood. Enjoy yourself.

Ohhh damn. You win, that’s terrible. Hopefully you’ll get to treat yo’ self to something you really want/want to do when you feel better to make for it.

Keeping a regular schedule adds some structure and can help with the stress of such a big transition. Congrats!

Oh my god, that fuuuuucking sucks. I am so sorry. but happy birthday...? 

I go to college on Tuesday. Been a mix of preparing and doing some last fun things in my area and with parents and friends before before I go. It’s been nice but it’s really starting to hit me. Any advice from Jezzies on the transition?

Today is my birthday. I have had raging diarrhea for the past 3 days following a beach vacation and fucking bad clams. My husband (and kids) are at a party (for me) while I sit on the shitter. So yeah, good ass times. 

yours is so cute! 

Hey folks. I’m at my first post-college job, and the past month of adjustment has been rough. I was a slightly older student (graduated just before my 30th birthday) and worked in a different field for a decade before getting my degree and starting this job in the field I studied in school.
