My mom, who lives alone, has an entire bedroom with giant racks filled with food, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc. It's very clean and organized but still unnecessary. When I asked her why, she said because she can. I was like "well, yeah, but why do you want to." She said because for most of her life she couldn't afford to just purchase everything we needed but now she can and it feels good. I love it because she loads me up with food and essentials every time I visit!
I feel like I would be comparing myself too. I hate that if you have traditional values in terms of a relationship - that means you’re a conservative. I’m quite progressive. I don’t have to be gender or sexually fluid to think it’s ok to be that way - I would just prefer my partner to be 100% straight because I am.
I really understand this. Every time I relapse I get into really unsafe situations and put myself with really unsafe people. I have a lot of sexual trauma related to relapsing and use. I'm really lucky I haven't been murdered. It's so scary to feel like you can't trust yourself to. keep yourself safe. The only way I can keep myself safe is to not drink because drunk me will lead me into danger. You're right that saying "I will never relapse forever." is an unrealistic bet. But drinking is not safe.
Yeah, basically I really need to watch what I'm putting in my body because I get inflamed really easily and everything makes my face puffy. No alcohol, no cigarettes, low salt, no sugar, no refined carbs, drink lots of water and exercise. I just need to keep the inflammation down and keep the fluid moving in my face through sweating, exercising and drinking water. Going in the sauna helps as well. But I've pretty much gotten rid of them by doing all this stuff.
I thought I was so slick drinking vodka with water during my last couple months of relapse. Still got drunk enough to pass out on my living room floor and feel like shit the next day.
One day I showed up to work absolutely miserable about a week after breaking things off with my fiancee. Opened my computer and saw "Someone was concerned about you and sent you an anonymous e-card." I almost cried because it was so sweet that someone was thinking about me and I really needed that kind of support at the moment. It was one of those fake phishing emails my company sent out to trick us. I was so fucking mad.
I’m absolutely crushing my work load on a Monday. When I was drinking I’d be hungover, dragging ass and feeling like shit. Instead I’m locked in, getting it all done so I can do stuff I want to do 😎
Under system, scroll the the right and there is a setting to adjust what happens when the loop is up. You can also make sure you tap the channel again to make sure it’s lit up green and not yellow
That’s what I’m saying, I have set that setting to Record->play and it isn’t working. I can’t rely on tapping the channel because I’m using my hands to play an instrument for the full loop length. I’m playing a theramin so the sound doesn’t just stop when I move my hands away, so if I’m going to tap the channel, the theramin is still playing during the overdub, which ruins it. I just need it to not go into overdub because that is easiest. I’ve done it before and I don’t know why it isn’t working this time.
I have mine set up like this. I just have a cheap shitty laptop stand where the top opens and tilts forward. I put my midi keyboard underneath the laptop stand. I’ll take a pic and put an Imgur link in this comment in a bit to show you.
Idk, the language here seems a little bit dehumanizing. “Interview with an alcoholic” sounds a bit callous compared to “interview with a person who has alcohol issues” or interviewing someone about their alcohol use. In substance use/mental health, referring to someone by a condition they have is beginning to be frowned upon. Here it’s one thing, but id be put off if I was listening to a podcast and this was the language.
Thank you. I appreciate the improvement in language. I agree that that's the better approach. I'd edit the topic name if I could; but, ya know, Reddit.
It’s called “Sober Motivation” I was listening to it on Spotify. I will say tho, aside from that first question, I’m not crazy about the host and wouldn’t recommend emulating his style. He tends to respond to his guest’s stories by intermittently just talking about his own experiences in a way that seems really shoe horned in. Like he doesn’t make it about them, he makes it about how their story relates to his, which is super bad hosting imo.
You can tell people anything you want about your personal journey with alcohol/sobriety. I hope that you are able to find support outside your husband though because a lot of people find it really hard to quit when their SO is still drinking. It might even make you like him a bit less, being around drunk people sober can make you see how annoying they are, yknow?
Eat some ice cream and rub one out. It’ll feel weird not having that go to drink to celebrate but that’ll wear off but if you need to hit that reward button may I suggest mint chocolate chip ice cream and jack/jill sesh
Loving the burn of meth? This guy is functionally retarded. He is probably a dry drunk who still wants to drink. Always in recovery never recovered. When someone says something so stupid I stop listening to anything they say.

I mean that’s still smart bc when something like covid pops off, or whatever the next disaster is, your mom is ready and stocked.
Friends with Benefits is a softball term for Fuckbuddy. No actual benefits, Just optics.
The benefit is sex. It's the friendship that doesn't exist.
21 today. I have relearned that I like being sober and that I enjoy doing all my little hobbies and activities. I don't have any regrets.
The Rolling Stones. Boring as hell.

Sounds like insecurity with extra steps.

Hi, I have the same issue (29M) ! Did you find a solution to diminish their size ?

The original Herbal Essences shampoo. The scent was heavenly!
Oooh yes or the old Suave Strawberry
Altoids Sours. I found Lofty Pursuits makes a suitable replacement, but they're pricey per tin.
Omg I LOOOVED altoids sours. And they were popular too, I wonder why they discontinued them.

This one’s rough

I love my sleep mask, it makes me feel like a comfy cozy little princess.
I would have stabbed this man
I would ask my dog if his tummy hurts all the time. He has tummy problems and I wish I knew how often he was uncomfortable.
Putting away my laundry. But I never learn.

I’m surprised that she even posts with a migraine, anyone I know with migraines will rarely even pick up their phone when they have one
Even thinking of my phone when I have a migraine makes me want to puke.

Mine is always flashing. I thought it was just like that. I really tried to make it stop when I first got mine but I haven’t found a way.
Pepper spray is better, you don’t have to get so close.
It’s a taser, not a stun gun. It shoots 15 feet and barbs into the target’s skin. But I have a pepper spray gun too.
In case he says it again, he can be identified.
I have a picture of him right here. Someone else recognized him.

Five bucks says you're under 30
I’m 35
Congrats on having good joints! I'm jealous
Lifelong yoga and dancing probably helped
Celebrate by treating yourself to a massage or a sauna session and a facial, then chug some water. Something to recharge after all your hard work!

A connoisseur of fine living.
Might be time to check that ego.
Says the person on the internet who feels the need to tell people to check their ego.

Dry drunk was definitely the vibe I was getting. He was absolutely basking in the room’s attention.
