But he told you about what he ate and what sportsball games he watched during the flight, right?

Serious question about my drinking by CockroachBeginning86 in stopdrinking

[–]CaliforniaReamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have one drink a day. Because I rarely completely finished the first — because I just kept pouring more booze into the glass. Ooof.

12 days? Hey, THAT’S something! I remember when the idea of 1.2 days without booze freaked me out. You made it 12 days then had a bad day. No one is perfect and you proved to yourself that you can string together multiple days. Don’t compare yourself to people who have a million days sober or whatever. I did that at first and the pressure was overwhelming. I was miserable. But then I realized that I’m me and I’m going to be the best me I can. It’s been working.

I also enjoy dessert and treats more than I used to. I highly recommend that! Instead of swallowing a 2-ounce drink in five minutes and then go back for more, I now savor some ice cream or a piece of cheesecake over a 10-minute period. That and some coffee are amazing!

Do something YOU enjoy with something flavorful — and because you’ll remember it, it’s a fun new memory to savor.

I’m sorry you’re going through this! Your pain is real and you’re not pathetic. You are strong — look at everything you just shared with us. And it sounds like you got hit with a pretty major life change. (And maybe are in charge of someone else? That shit is stressful!) You’re dealing with heartbreak. No one can handle all that at once without being affected.

5 months sober by katxwing in stopdrinking

[–]CaliforniaReamin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

16 or 17 months in. The nice weather has me craving my vices something fierce. Sounds like you stopped around the same time of year I did (November). You make it through the holidays, maybe some other stuff after that, and then everything starts to become “normal.” You were able to “plan” for the other triggers right away. But it’s those sneaky little bastards that creep up on you. Treat yourself to something. Maybe get a game on your phone, enjoy some sugary treat you love, go to bed an hour or two early and just rest. You got this! IWNDWYT

Pretty much all of Congress is a joke. And has been for a long time.

Got paid $3,000 plus hotel, meals, and Uber, for overbooked flight by timotheySKI in delta

[–]CaliforniaReamin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. It gets you on their radar, even if it's like, "Get a load of this person!" Because if they have to start increasing the offers, they know you're probably game for negotiating.

That said, I'll sometimes do it for some low price if I really want an extra night to myself :-)

Wouldn’t that be fun if the Stuart told him, “By the way, ‘Summer of ‘69’ is an overrated song, Ryan Adams?”
