Last year (2022) I had my 66th birthday. I used to struggle with/ against this for the first 60 years of my life. ADISC has definitely helped me to more easily accept this part of my life. Now that I've retired, I've finally realized that the small inconvenience that naturally comes along with having nocturnal enuresis (NE) in no way truly defines or limits who I really am. As a retiree whose wife is fully aware of my condition, I no longer have anyone that I feel I must hide my condition from, just in order to keep a roof over my head. I also realize, that, had I been able to accept this aspect of myself years earlier, then I would've probably saved myself from a lot of unnecessary stress and hardship in my own life over those same years.
Of course there are still those whom I choose to essentially hide my condition from because it's really none of their business. Perhaps due to the improved finances of my retirement, I no longer worry so much about who might "know" and who might not. Still, I will never require anyone other than my wife and myself to have to understand my condition at all, in order for myself to be at peace with this. Expecting or waiting for anyone else to understand it, before I can be happy with myself, would by definition be depriving myself of my own happiness, and I choose not to ever again deprive myself of my own happiness in this way, from this point forward.
The routine privacy that all humans naturally observe which we tend to associate with going to the bathroom is all the privacy that I am now really asking for here regarding my own nighttime condition. Thanks to all on this site for helping me to partake of the wisdom that is shared on these web pages. ADISC, you are da best!

I prefer to believe that…..
We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to find our way back to the garden…

This is what I want to remember, and I try not to let any of the other minor trivialities get in the way of that. The last wishes of a guy who in his mind, never really left Woodstock.
