I'm sure this has been posted a number of times, but we received our wristband package and it was empty. I am pretty certain someone stole them and will try to sell the wristbands. However, they are now deactivated and worthless since I contacted Front Gate and reported it, got will call wristbands issued. Probably shouting in the wind, but thought I would at least post this in case it helps even one person not get ripped off by people who steal wristbands out of the mail.

I traveled to have a journey at a licensed clinic. My facilitator has been great, we did set and setting meetings before, and I had an integration meeting with him, books and resources, but I am still struggling after the experience. I have treatment resistant childhood cPTSD and I spent a lot of my journey in a space that was dark and alone fighting myself to accept and to let go, because I did nothing wrong. My wife has told me my behavior has been different since the journey in a good way, but I think my cPTSD is gaslighting me that nothing is different. I already do a lot of the suggested integration practices, but what I think I would really like is to talk to other folks about it.

I was watching the Kings of Leon - Beautiful War and wondered if I should just accept that now. I have tried and tried to quit, but maybe I have to do something irrational like that. AA folks might say that is a higher power and all that, but for me if some omnipotent being wanted me to stop they would have already come to me and had the conversation by now. It is not like I have not been in jail for my drinking. Maybe just deciding to live a prison life before being locked up is the best way forward for me.

I miss my Mom

Delayed Grief

She passed 5 months ago. I have cPTSD from my childhood and my therapist says I have complex grief as a result. The last years of her life were especially hard. She had Parkinsons for 10 years and at the end dementia. My Dad is as hard as a coffin nail and will pinch blood out of 2 pennies. He got cancer and had surgery. However, he grew up poor and refused all help to take care of my Mom. I tried to pay for a live in nurse or any kind of help I could think of and he just refused. He was so weak. He is over 6 feet tall and got to 120 pounds. One day he fell asleep in his recliner and my Mom left the house and was missing for days. They drove around looking for her. When they fina

We have an area on our patio that use to have english ivy on it. I know the rep that ivy has, but it was very pretty and it died out due to a sprinkler problem over a summer. We would like to replant it, but I would like to get something like english ivy that covers just as well, but is more Austin friendly. I have googled, but we did not really see anything we liked. Recommendations?

Not doing great if I am honest. My family knows when I am not good and gives me space, but now one is responding to my texts. I am alone. I am now asking for help. I hope you are having a better Saturday than me ...

I am still dealing with the aftermath, but none of my usual people are responding this morning so I am just going to post this here to get it out. Last night, I went to this charity event with my wife. I am an introvert and hate these things, but it was important to her so I went. So I was already kind of emotionally spent from my sons competition earlier in the day where he was leaning on me heavily for support. We get to the event and my wife is very excited. We are not even in the building and I hate everything about this. Immediately, there are people approaching us and I recognize this is actually a debutante ball. Still, it is important to my wife so I just try and get through.

So I am a functioning alcoholic. I am paying for everything in my household. And it it not like my spouse does not make any money. Should I just let the spinning plates drop? I don't think my family really understands what will happen if I unplug.

When I click back button Kodi goes to the user interface, but the video continues to play and does not stop. I tried adding the keymap and adding custom keymap to video -> playback -> stop, but it did not work. Is there a way to change this behavior so videos won't continue to play in the background?
