Doc won’t put me on it until I’m weeks sober

My stocking stuffers every year are: $150 in scratch off tickets, a multipack of chapstick, and chocolates

Usually I’d be three in by now. Instead I mopped my floors and walked the dog. Eating a big salad now. Trying my hardest rn.

I managed to quit for a week by buying one at a time plus a six pack of non alcoholic beer. Trying it out again today.

6 pack of beer almost every night for the past 3 months. Doctor refuses to help me unless I go to rehab, but it’s not feasible to spend that much time away from home.

Therapy every-other week, and at least 1.5 hours of brisk walking with my pup every day, plus hikes on weekends. And water - lots of water.

Absolutely. Smaller homes are easier to care for, as you mentioned, leaving more time to enjoy life. I also think that smaller homes make the things you own more special, because you have to carefully decide what to keep due to space constraints.

There was a Family Guy skit about this that always plays in my mind when someone starts telling me about their dream.

What “personal bullshit” would lead to Deny, Depose, Defend?

This article reads like an ad for Glance. It’s a whole lot of “Isn’t this a neat concept?!” without any technical details.

Geralt?

I used to be besties with a cop. He was a good guy for a while, but then he had a hernia and got prescribed pain meds. And then he started getting invited to cop parties where they all swapped pills, and he got addicted to hard things. It changed him entirely - he became aggressive and scary to be around, so I told him my thoughts and told him that I didn’t want to be around him. He didn’t take it well, and I felt scared.

Be careful. Imagine how bad things could be if he decided he hated you and wanted to put the weight of his authority against you. It could be too dangerous to be worth it.

I was in a similar boat and became close friends with a coworker in his 50s when I was in my early 20s. He became a mentor of sorts who helped to guide me through a lot of young adult issues, and I was thankful for him. I’d encourage you to be open minded about your son’s friendship unless you are sensing red flags from his friend.

Learned this when my dad died and I reached out to all of my buddies to help me get through it. They all disappeared.

I tried a couple and they were fine when I was the only person in the office, but on busy days I had zero access to high speed data. Couldn’t even get Discord messages.

I’m worried about losing access to HRT. I already have a plan to leave the country if need be, but it would suck to sell my house and move somewhere completely unfamiliar. I’ve just started setting down roots in this area. What a shitty time to be trans.

Works wonders for me during allergy season.

Hell yeah, good job! You should feel incredibly proud of yourself. You worked hard and made this happen.

USA, Verizon, $125/mo for one cellphone with unlimited data and one tablet with unlimited data. It includes Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. I also pay monthly for accidental damage protection.

I had to go with an expensive plan because there’s no Wifi at my job site and my data kept getting deprioritized on other companies. So I pay a premium to be able to watch YouTube while I work.
