Looking for advice
My wife is my q. I’ve been attending Alanom for four years. My wife has skirted the issue of alcohol being a problem for the first two years but over a year ago she decided she had had enough and wanted to live without alcohol.
It’s been a bit of a roller coaster, the more I practice the principles I have learned in Alanon the better I seem to show up for her. I know I can not control her, but I struggle with the idea that I am not voicing my true feelings when I refrain from saying something in an attempt not to control others.
I should probably be going to my regular group meeting or reaching out to my sponsor but I am here seeking some advice.
This is the third year in a row my wife is taking the same trip to see an old friend from highs ho out of state. The first time her friend was single, and I asked if I could go with. We had a great time. My wife drank and it became a problem the second night.
Last year she went on her own with another married formal friend. This year she is going again alone. My concern comes from her choosing to drink. I know it is out of my control, but do I say something about my concerns or not before she leaves? I want to support her but I also want to be able to openly discuss my feelings and lack of trust even though the last year has been mostly
Positive and our marriage is in a better position than a year ago.
I think it’s mostly fear. We have been through so much, truly awful times… I have seen how much my wife has grown in sobriety and I am afraid that this weekend is just an excuse to get wild, get drunk, and who knows what can happen when she blacks out and I am not there to care for her.
Printing plate question
Let’s say I get all four printing plates for a card. Would I be able to roll ink on them and print my own cards one at a time?
First cuttings
So I cut these about ten days ago. Let them dry removed the leaves and flowers then I applied powdered root hormone on the dry cut end along with two inches above the cut and placed in a 60/40 blend of cactus/succulent potting mix and vermiculite.
Should I keep the try below them ? I have gravel in the bottom inch or so of each pot.
Should I keep them in full sun? Put them under the table for partial shade?
Do you think I could get a replacement?
The bottom corner of this was bent coming out of the pack. I don’t know if it would get a 7 from the centering ;-)
I’ve never submitted a claim for a replacement card. What’s that process like? Is it worth trying?
This is like the first time I’ve pulled a 5/5 card of one of my favorite players and it be damaged like this.
The Courage to Bee Different
Just took a few photos of this bee and wrote some words down.
A field of certainty, and one small act of curiosity. The bee lands not on what is plentiful, but on what is singular.
To the yellow flowers, the pink one may seem like an outsider. To the bee, it is a destination.
What makes you feel out of place may be exactly what draws others to you.
The pink flower bends away from the others, imperfect and slightly tattered, yet it is the only one carrying life.
Attention often falls on what is wounded, different, or out of place. Maybe our perceived oddities are what make us worth landing on.
Perhaps meaning is found not in belonging to the crowd, but in pausing on the thing that makes us wonder.
Pack auction
Anyone else bidding? I was thinking of bidding up to 3k
What a riiiiip! Coop hit some bangers. Anyone know his Reddit account?
Really neat tool. Shows most Choeymon auctions it is sortable and even shows historical sales with a few hours of delay. Really cool!
