I'm sorry if it does. I translated the "baptism of a book" because I'm not native, so maybe that's what confuses you. Is that what confuses you?

go back to therapy and try not to half arse it. The thing is that everyone has done things they feel guilty of, some try to fix it, some accept what happen and use it as an experience to do better. Some could dwell on it until it becomes too much and need a lot of help. Best to accept what happened, move on and try to live life the best you can. Maybe apologies and show that you have improved. Not to all because sometimes, going to them could make things worse.

Reply to LPT: Don't look at your clock when waking up during the night to increase your quality of sleep. It's a lot easier to fall back asleep when you don't keep track of the sleeping time you still have left. by migudude
Sometimes I wake up during the night and when I watch my phone I have it difficult to go back to sleep your LPT is so accurate for me

What are you trying to say?
I just mean to say, and that is how I read the post of OP, is making a joke on something obvious as a way to get introduced and maybe enjoy the company of other people. You can say a lot of things with a smile so people know you are being playful.

Your phone isn't a great cooking device. You might try an oven.

Exactly this. Every time I have surgery, my family agrees to be my caretakers. I had to recently sleep on my mother's couch for a week after my last double carpal tunnel surgeries. My little sister and her fiancé stayed up til 5am every night, giggling and listening to music and playing video games. Using this method I basically couldn't hear them. Add on a running fan and put a weighted eye mask on and I conked out quickly.

I can speak to you as the daughter of a now sober after 4 years mother who was addicted to opiates and the same thing for my grandma. My grandma basically went cold turkey after the doctor cut her off and my mother checked herself into rehab. Both of them struggled for the longest time with everything that happened. Both said and did some crazy things. I didn't even get a wedding because their addictions made them tell people a wedding wasn't important, so my husband and I had to run to the courthouse without family because of this.
First you gotta come to terms with what you did. Why it happened/how. You basically need to face up to what happened. When you can recognize you were an addict and why/how, you can then start to overcome the guilt and shame. A lot of times, addiction happens due to mental illness or stressful events. Once you've recognized where it sprouted from it can really help you start to heal. These were the first steps my mom and grandma took.
You need to speak to the people you hurt. You need to listen to how they felt and what you did to them. This is the most hurtful aspect. I played the song "Jenny" by Nothing More for my mother and grandmother and it spoke a lot of the emotions I felt about their addictions and there were a lot of tears and apologies and things became a lot better between us. We agreed to talk about anything and everything and be honest from now on. Honestly I have never felt as close to them as I have after all this happened.
My mother and grandmother both have bad self-esteem like me, so I understand that part. It sucks. One of the biggest things we've all come to learn to help us cope with it is actually being self-deprecating. Like, we joke that "I'm an ugly shit but everyone loves me" and it actually makes things better. I HATE my disabilities and joke all the time about being a T-wrecks/T-Rex.
You don't deserve bad things. You deserve to come back from this and have a good life; a new beginning. This was a setback in life but you can overcome it. Just think of it as an obstacle to overcome in life. It can make you stronger and give you a better perspective/outlook on life. You were a victim of addiction, a mental illness. You weren't thinking straight/clearly so give yourself a break. You're not alone in this suffering and in feeling this way. Just know that others have gone through/are going through the same as you, so others understand how you are feeling. I would definitely suggest trying out a support group or just talking to others. Feel free to message me if you need to talk. I've essentially become my mother's therapist since she hates that they want her to describe her background of sexual abuse in graphic detail every time and it just feels useless for her.
It's a long and hard process to overcome all the emotions you felt during and after overcoming your addiction. It's not an easy thing to deal with. Everyone deals with their struggles differently, but just know that it can take time to feel better. Know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You have overcome this obstacle and now you can better your life. I am sorry you've gone through this and I hope to see you feeling better.
As I said up above, please feel free to talk to me if you need help. Support is a huge part of overcoming your guilt and shame. Knowing people still love you and have your back can really help.

Reply to LPT: When you and your SO are trying to teach your child to say mama or dada, try to teach them the term for your SO instead of yourself by [deleted]
Doesn't make sense to get worked up over whether the child says mama or Dada first. It depends on what the child finds easier to say: https://www.care.com/c/do-babies-say-mama-or-dada-first/
It's not like the child will just talk to one parent for the rest of his/ her life.

Uhm okay. I still don't get what confuses you though? Is baptism of a book not an English phrase, or is it that you don't understand the question? The question is in the body text. "What should I do there? What should I not do there?" Etc
