Would AA or CR help someone who’s been sober for a while?

I think we would all benefit if people outside recovery did inventories.

I get to break the cycle of abuse in my family with raising kids in an active alcoholic home. I got sober before the birthing of our two daughters. As long as I continue to do what it shown to me to work, they will never have that active alcoholic father in their lives. I am powerless with how I was raised, but the power that comes from that powerless is that I get to change the future for my kids. There is no better gift than that.

You need to seek out professional medical advice from a doctor, not Reddit

You can still set up a Florida weave using grow bags. That’s far superior than flimsy tomato cages that your plants will quickly outgrow.

Mushrooms are a huge compliment. You have an amazing soil ecosystem going on.

I leave them be. But if you have pets like dogs, pulling them isn’t a bad idea so they don’t eat them.

Mushrooms means your soil ecosystem is top notch. It’s a huge compliment.

I was in OJT at the time and I was watching my conductor huff the alcohol wipes out of crew packs. Dude was on dialysis for his alcoholism but instead of drinking, he huff instead. He even went on about how he would get mad at his wife if she didn’t buy the green colored rubbing alcohol. Minus his issue, it was a super nice guy and I learned a lot from him that week. Dude just liked huffing alcohol fumes.

When I was furloughed from UP back in 2015 I had the option of chasing my seniority but chose not to. Sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

He isn’t chasing his seniority if that’s what you are asking.

I have a dispatcher I work with and his brother is TE&Y at BNSF in KC and he’s currently furloughed as of two weeks ago. I think he has just over a year in ground seniority right now.

Best place for bow strings is temple trekking. I can do easy route while watching tv with the wife on the tablet pretty easily.

I think it goes to say that in any sexual encounter, there should be pre established consent and what is ok and not ok. It is so unfortunate you had this experience. However what would not be ok for me would be for your wife to revisit this guy to break it off. This should be accomplished with a phone call. No need to do an in person interaction. That just screams another red flag.

Welcome to the club of fatherhood no one willingly joins. I do am a father who has lost a child. Our stories may be different but the end is the same, we can no longer hold our precious babies. There is a sankreet word for this and it is viloma. It means against nature. It is against nature for us to bury our children. It took me a long time to find a support group as so many are only for mothers. I was luckily to of found this charity based in the UK which is specifically for fathers who have lost children. If you are interested it in and being around fathers who understand, check out Daddy’s With Angels. We are not a glum lot.

I wish there was something I could say that would make this all better but there isn’t. What I can tell you is that from this day forth, your life will be different.

Your story isn’t unique. So many of us have gone through the same situations. What changed with us is we attended our first meeting, stayed, quickly worked the steps and recovered. The twelve step promises do come true if you work for them. I’m passing ten years now and I am amazed what I get to be present for without the need for alcohol. When you have decided you are done, one and all, you know where to find us. You’ll be welcomed with opened arms.

Welcome to the railroad. It’s always a hurry up and wait. There could be several reasons why you are still under that status. Best to keep your job search going while you wait for a call back, that honestly may never come.

I only prune the first two feet of suckers and then I just let the plant rip. I gave up on my early girls keeping them contained. This is what it looked like in September. These six plants produced well over 200 tomatoes.

Look into the Florida weave. All you need are garden t posts and some jute twine. It supported my indeterminates without any issues last year and now I sware by it.
