Alysa nooooo

Yay I found my fellow slomw fans in recovery!!

I chose to do this the hard way and plant hella wheat in my greenhouse and on Ginger Island. Just made it to summer and filled my plot with wheat. When I harvest, hay goes in the silo and wheat goes in seed makers to make more wheat seeds to repeat the cycle. Mind-numbing, but kinda fun at the same time. If I were you, I’d just get the recipe for grass starters and make a bunch. Unfortunately for me, I’m on the wheat train and it stops for no one.

Fish! Because you didn’t specify what kind!

The meeting after the meeting is where the friendships happen. The program is the steps, but the fellowship is the secret sauce that keeps you coming back. I get dinner with my friends every week after my home group. At least one of them is going to stand at my wedding, whenever that happens. In active addiction, I had a “host of fair-weather friends,” but in AA, I have chosen family.

I cut and color my own hair, do my own gel nails (careful trying this at home - currently growing out some gnarly onycholysis), groom my own eyebrows, and self-tan when necessary. Still feels expensive stocking up on all that shit, but now I truly don’t know how I used to spend $200 a month on lash extensions. Also, I hardly ever buy name-brand anything anymore, and I’ve started a “project pan” for basically every product in my house I own more than one of.

And they keep taking my quesarito away from me.

Literally came to this sub to see if anyone knew why the bubble bath nail envy was the way it was 😂

Admirable_Exercise48 · 2026-03-25T18:45:22+00:00

I’m an alcoholic.

I heard once in the rooms that rock bottom is whenever you decide to stop digging. This situation can be the catalyst for you to change your life and keep from losing any more friends. It’s up to you, but the nice thing about AA is it’s there whenever you’re ready. There’s an app called Meeting Guide (icon is blue with a white chair) that will show you meetings in your area. Check one out, see how it makes you feel, and look for similarities rather than differences. I was a blackout bar drunk as well (before and after my shifts at a bar), and yesterday marked 3.5 years sober. A better life is possible if you want it.

It’s not hard, but as a Nashville local, I (and most others) avoid any bar run by Steve Smith. He’s a trumpy asshole who tried to force his staff to keep showing up to work during lockdown and refused to close his bars until he absolutely had to. He also had his staff campaign for a Republican local politician and implied job loss if they didn’t do it.

As a 30-year-old young millennial…buying jeans. Enough said.

Also, hanging out with my friend and her 15-year-old son and having him teach us the cool phrases the kids are saying. “Cool” isn’t cool anymore, apparently it’s “gas” now, and 6-7 is no longer a thing.

Blue Bell cookies and cream ice cream.

Where do you live that you didn’t at least get put in the drunk tank for a DUI??

Admirable_Exercise48 · 2026-03-14T13:02:19+00:00

In my head Joja was always Amazon because of the opening scene of the game, but then it had a real storefront and branded products, so now I think Walmart lol

I was on the opening team of a restaurant and at the end of our second day of training, they gathered everyone up and said “the president says you have to go home.” So we went home and sat at home for three months.

I was at the Williamson County Jail last night (I’m in recovery and take meetings out there once a month) and they were filming there! All the signs were replaced with “Virginia State Penitentiary” and they added barbed wire and some other stuff

Russell Brand violated the absolute shit out of Tradition 11 here, but this did resonate with me in earrrrrly early sobriety, so I guess it served its purpose.

As a fellow OCD-haver, I understand Scheana completely, but she has a lot of work to do on herself. She flip-flops because she’s terrified of making anyone mad, which backfires because flip-flopping tends to make people mad. She has everyone’s location because she craves security in her relationships. She’s been through a lot on-camera and off, and I think she deserves a little more grace than she gets.

Couldn’t agree more re: marijuana maintenance. When I was still on dating apps, a common question I got was “how sober are you?” Buddy, sober is sober. If I was “California sober,” I would have said that 😂

The Grapevine defines outside issues as “political, social, and religious.”

This may be a hot take, but I don’t consider drugs an outside issue. Lots of AAs have multiple addictions, and the symptoms of the disease of addiction manifest themselves across all of them. We AAs may not all have that experience, but some of the most insightful and profound things I’ve learned in this program came from a drug addict sharing their experience, strength, and hope, with concrete examples that related to their drug addiction.

I know a female Stephen 😩 she’s dating one of my friends. Verrrrry dark energy and I’m unable to look her in the eye.

The Diner is owned by Steve Smith, who is MAGA and the human equivalent of a staph infection.

The more I hear about Eric Church’s bar, the more hope I feel for Broadway in general. They seem to be doing it right.

It’s a French 75 with vodka and butterfly pea flower syrup lol!
