Reply to LPT: Out at the bars/party and don't want to get hassled for not drinking? Drink N/A beer from bottles and cover or remove the labels, or order a juice drink which will look like a mixed drink. by tn_notahick
Who cares what people think. I drank a glass of milk at a strip club. Make it weird for people.

Reply to LPT request: Can anyone give me a couple ideas or things to try, that might alleviate some of the guilt and shame I (28F) feel? by magdeedz
You OWN what you were. Yes. I did horrible things. I was a bad person. I accept that. My addiction was the reason I did those things. Maybe you had a craving. Something that seemed as important as breathing till you quit. Maybe your guilt is entirely misplaced. If you were the victim of abuse, guilt is not earned. It is forced onto you. You can't change the past but at this point in your life (you are 28) your parents are still pretty young, your grandparents are getting older and if you have kids they need you very much. Spend time with your family. If you have no family left, learn to accept yourself for who you were and who you are. Maybe work can be your focus. Maybe a hobby. Maybe love. And if you need to cut toxic people out of your life do it. But what mostly affects your mood is your health. Get rest. Eat well. Love the people you care about. And brush your teeth.

Reply to LPT Request: how to overcome Imposter Syndrome at work? How have you dealt with it? by ladladladz
That depends. Are you actually capable or do you have to Google every aspect of your job and ask everyone around you for help constantly? Did someone see you vent? If you know the job and are just new get a plant for your desk or work area. Make yourself at home. Get comfortable. Show up a little early. Relax and have a coffee before anyone else shows up. Make yourself at home. Even if it is just a coffee cup from your kitchen. When you feel relaxed you will feel like you belong.

Reply to LPT Stop watching the news. by themodernsophist
Maybe just stop watching TV. Life is too short for commercials and reruns. Go live.

Perogies. For one egg, 4 cups of flour a bit of salt and two large potatoes you can feed 3 people for over two days.

All my data dies with me. In a hundred years it won't matter to anyone anyway.
