People with narcissistic qualities often employ a subtle tactic known as "hoovering"—essentially vacuuming up a target's emotional reserves for self-gain.

How do you respond to the saying, “God will never give you more than you can handle”? To be transparent and honest it makes me want to scream and punch something until I read this article.

I’m not necessarily promoting the program but the concept and approach seem interesting and helpful.

“Society has conditioned you that you need alcohol to be successful, to be cool, to be sexy, to have fun, to relax, the list goes on and on. How will you fare going up against years of social conditioning, second-hand peer pressure and self-doubt, all on your own?”Dear Alcohol,

Thank you for the fantastic years together; you have been a great friend for so long.

You have brought endless fun, gotten me into many hilarious and disturbing situations, got me lucky ;), hired, fired, sent to A&E!

We’ve had so much fun together over the years.

We’ve had some laughs, we’ve had some tears.

But things have changed for me now; there are so many things I want to achieve in this life and you are holding me back.

Like the way you ruin my sleep, make it hard for me to keep my concentration and even how you’ve made me go from a medium to a large.

It’s not just about the aesthetics of looking good. It’s about how you make me feel. The lack of energy and the heart burn to name a few.

It’s time for me to be that one friend in my social circle. The one that always has a spring in their step. The one that always looks fresh, is connected with everyone in their presence.

It’s time for me to take control.

It’s not goodbye forever, just goodbye for now. I’ll see you again one day...but next time completely on my terms.

Thanks to OYNB I will transform my relationship with the booze and I WILL have control over my life back

It’s not about giving up forever.. It’s simply about being able to handle the peer pressure, the temptations after a long day, regaining that control and watching every aspect of your life improve.

It takes less than 28 days to see that change… come join me and see for yourself > https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/takethechallenge ... See MoreSee Less

“I wish I could say that 2018 was the best year of my life and know that 2019 is going to be even better. I wish I could reflect on all of the huge, fantastic, monumental changes that took place this year. I wish I could reflect on each month with absolute honesty and genuinity, but to be perfectly honest, 2018 was a blur. It was a year that came and went, a year that could tentatively be deemed as rather insignificant.” ... See MoreSee Less

Thought Catalog

2018 wasn’t my year. It was one of my most gruelling and challenging years, one that had more tears than most. But with all of the sadness and exhaustion it brought, it still impacted me in a way that most years have not. It gave me the understanding that things really can change overnight — that, no matter how hard a situation can seem, dark skies always, always, always, lead to sunrises. https://thoughtcatalog.com/colleen-george/2018/12/its-okay-if-2018-wasnt-your-year/

I’m slowly learning that not reacting doesn’t mean I’m okay with things, it just means I’m choosing to rise above it. I’m choosing to take the lesson it has served and learn from it.
