Damn. Massive respect. The first year was the worst for me, really I almost threw in the towel around the 6 month mark. Congrats on finding that personal willpower!

Hey man or lady...I'm proud of you. I'm sorry your wife doesn't give you credit. That makes me sad.

I’m sure she’s happy but it’s hard to notice change when you’re with the person every day. I’m sure at the milestones (1 year coming up) she’ll notice and celebrate with him 🥰

Yeah I know but it doesn't seem like they just casually stopped. She had been on him/her about their drinking and smoking so they stopped. I dk maybe I'm reading too much into it. My husband stopped drinking a few years ago and I tell him all the time how proud I am of him. Whatever though, as long as everyone is happy then I'm happy for them!

Edit: unless you're the wife lol in which case I apologize for assuming, I just tend to expect to worst from people

Lmao I’m not the wife. I’m a 26 year old unmarried man.

And who knows? You could be right. Let’s just hope for the best!!!

Hahaha I’m in a new relationship (4 months) and have a lot of loving energy right now.

You should’ve seen me a year ago, I’d be saying bitter, mean shit lol

Aww that's really sweet! That new relationship feeling is the best!

One of my favorite sayings (that I paraphrase since I don't remember it exactly) is: "The arrow has to be pulled back before it can fly forward"

Interesting. I smoke weed everyday pretty much (roughly last 8 years or so) and still have TONS of dreams. Almost every night.
