Reply to comment by Toneloc427 in 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
Highly recommended. Get the Feeling Good handbook and actually do the stupid exercises. Also, you might be able to get some help through NA. Meetings, a sponsor.
As you know, the way you are thinking now is a threat to your sobriety.

There is no They making up languages. They didn’t come up with words for countries. They are not deciding how to spell words, or making up grammar rules. They is just the users of the language doing what they can to share meaning.

People who wanted a little more than just basic food and shelter.
I’d still do my job. Basically, I teach reading to kids. The systems that pay me to do that would probably change dramatically, but I wouldn’t want to stop doing that work. It’s a job, so parts of it suck, but it’s also a really great thing to do, and it makes me feel good.
Also, I like my nice things. I like my expensive hobbies and fancy vacations and travel. I want to buy a bottle of wine and go out to dinner. I want to pay for extra stuff.

Reply to LPT REQUEST: What to say when someone brings up the death of their loved one that happened years ago. by Interesting_Ad7785
You say politely, I’m sorry for your loss, then they say something. Most of the time, they say something like, thank you, it was a long time ago and the conversation goes on. Sometimes they want to talk.
You let their reaction guide the conversation.

That’s why I meant too. When I said look up the number, I meant use the smartphone to find the number. I haven’t used a phone book in I don’t know how many years. No one does.
How do you say find the number with the phone anyway? I guess I could say I can “google” the number instead of “look up” the number.

Of course I mean getting the number from the phone. I’m just old as fuck so I talk funny. 🤷🏼♀️

I’m perfectly capable of looking up the non-emergency number if I need it. I don’t need to carry it with me. And in my area, if I want to report most crimes, even if it’s a non-emergency like a car stolen, they direct me to call 911.

Reply to LPT Request: how to deal with an emotionally draining friend I have to see on a daily basis by mercurysnowman
If you are a “sounding board” you could try being a bad one. Instead of offering sympathy or criticism, try just not reacting at all.
Just say oh. Not yes, not no, just a non-reaction.
My boyfriend is an asshole, That must be awful It is… let me tell you all about it.
My boyfriend is an asshole Maybe you should leave him But I love him…let me tell you why
My boyfriend is an asshole Oh He did this to me Oh I love him Oh What should I do? I don’t have anything to say
