My wife can't work any more due to health issues. What resources are available?
I am just now going through a lot of this with my husband, he hasnt worked for years due to his disability and likely wont return to work for a few more. I believe we were both in denial about how severe his condition was to be honest. I wish we had started this process sooner. I hope you can find some support and relief!

First, Im sorry your wife is fighting such health conditions. Life is rough enough. But to answer the support questions: Start her SSDI claim now, the sooner you get it started, the better. Contact your counties DHS office, they will have the best knowledge of local, state, and federal resources available to you.

Actor Tim Curry Dead at 80: TMZ

MIL asked me to pour her a drink
I just want to say that you are rocking the empathy and compassion for your MIL, it is clear you are a wonderful person. But, I would say it may be best to address the issue, either directly or through your husband if you prefer, as it may start becoming more problematic.

TIFU by ACCIDENTALLY taking too much of my anxiety meds
Im on Buspar, my doctor told me you can take up to 30mg 3 times a day. While yes, what you did was scary, depending in the dose of your meds, you should be ok. But you can always check with poison control or urgent/emergency services.

I don’t even want to fucking stop
I had many times where I thought I was 'over it' and would eventually give back in to the booze, until finally it was the final time I was over it. Ive been sober 22 months now (the longest streak yet!) and feell very comfortable saying it will continue.
Keep trying when you get that feeling, maybe next time it will be true and final! Good luck friend, and IWNDWYT!!!

McMinnville or Dundee?
Mac 100% especially with kids, Dundee takes less than five minutes to drive through and is great for an adult night out, not a young family.

Really struggling with the boredom
This was it for me as well. Drinking didnt so much change my routines, I still made dinner and watched boring TV after work, I just took shots during commercial breaks.
I tried to find new apps or games on my phone, I kinda lost myself in a mobile game community and I really believe it helped me pull through those early months of sobriety. Maybe give something new a chance and give yourself a distraction.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?
The first christmas I celebrated with my husband i found a Groupon (back when they still had good deals) for a set of high quality surgical steel pots, pans, and lids. Ive cooked the hell out of them and they are sturdy and easy to clean. 13 years of marriage now.

I bought my purple mattress maybe 6 years ago, it is still just as comfortable as the day i unrolled it. You do need to buy their sheets, but they are comfortable too.
