I'd limit your operating hours but frustration may push you back to the drink anyways. Positive reinforcement for not drinking should be invoked.

Get a physical calendar and a notepad to record your streaks and feelings. Join a support group. People hold themselves to task when others are involved and watching.
Good advice

Yeah I need a therapist, can’t take too much more of this bullshyt :unimpressed:
You should try it out. I just started last month & it’s actually been helping so far. Most insurance companies are providing free therapy sessions if its virtual or on the phone because of Covid/pandemic stress. They are trying to keep it on the low so if you have insurance you should def. call & check. Either way good luck man. Take everything 1 day at a time cuz that’s all we have anyway.

Been considering therapy for the first time in my life (gonna be mid 30's in a few years)... Always have a habit of keeping stuff bottled up because I feel like I can deal with it but my relationships continually suffer. Gotta find better solutions for myself at this point

Get off of the stoop, kid.

Your relationships will continue to suffer as you operate with parts of yourself. Redefining the whole self will allow you to approach your life and relationships as a whole person undivided by your burdens.

I went to my therapy session after being out of it for a few months and having someone who listens and breaks things down for you in a way you didn't see before is

:wow:

I still have my pride and just pay for my sessions out of pocket although I know my insurance would most likely cover it.

I broke down last Sunday because this entire situation that my family and I are facing is more than I could ever deal with. Yet, somehow it made me realize that I am stronger than I can imagine.

I thought about giving up and just taking the temporary solution, but what is the point of that when I have a wife and child that needs me more than anything despite how it looks. My own boy told me that he doesn't want me to be like all these dudes out here abandoning their own.

It brought enlightenment and tears to my eyes than I could ever grasp. Love is all that is holding us up and despite it all, what can you do but just see what the next day holds.

So my brehs, hold yall head and lets keep making this bytch called life angry and willing to give up the coochie.

Why pay out of pocket?

Found out a week ago that owners are selling all the properties that we manage since the market is hot and they see the bubble busting soon and wanna cash out now... sold all their vacation homes they rent out all year in Lake of the Ozarks and Turks and Caicos already...

99% sure losing our jobs... pretty typical when a new owner comes in to clean house and install their own people to run it... even though we are profitable...

I already know our boss is gonna make damn near a million off his commissions of these sales.. "promising" us severance packages (said I'd get 35K) to stick around til the property sells.. meanwhile can't really look for a job since we don't have a clue when the place is gonna sell (they hope 1st of the year).. when asked about our paperwork we just hear "it's still with the attorney... maybe a day or two more" which only leaves me to believe they are trying to pull some shyt..

Basically all of us that manage all the properties are walking on eggshells trying to scramble to figure out what we are all gonna do at this point and it's driving us all insane

Walking away from property management after this... these tenants are the fukking worst and I've been doing this for 11 years.. it's a soul crushing industry because nobody has your back... the tenants treat you like we are slaves, lie, intentionally break shyt and so on... Upper Management doesn't give a shyt... they just wanna bytch. Our boss is an overbearing micromanager, he has to know about everything, but if something goes wrong... he denies he knew anything about it and tries to blame us. Sends mass emails to everyone in the company (a total of 5 people) berating people for everyone to see... and is just a gaping a$$hole in general.

So many moving parts right now on living conditions coming up (sister is trying to buy a house since she stays in mine and I was getting free rent to stay on site but she cant buy a house since we are losing our jobs and she wouldn't get down payment money til after the place sells... and that's not a for sure thing that we have a date on)... doing this around the holidays means we gotta watch our spending which is gonna bring a downer on everyone for xmas and shyt...

I'm planning on taking a few months off when this is over... maybe take off the winter so I don't have to deal with the snow and ice and just sit home and watch NBA and shyt and live off the severance for a bit... maybe drive for doordash or uber eats or some shyt in spare time for a couple bucks... Just thinking out loud... but my mind is all over the place right now.. :yeshrug:
