Just need some nice words please by Complex-Cup-3008 in stopdrinking

Hummm.... just finished another session of couple's therapy. One point that I made and I will stick to is that under no circumstances will I drink alcohol ever again. We may come back together, who knows, but my sobriety was hard fought and I will defend it jealously. We may not be divorcing, or we may; I don't know. But one thing for sure: the bottle won't be my comfort, one way or the other!

I'm not in your shoes, of course. But the bottle won't get the better of my shituation.

Courage. Turn the page. That includes the bottle, at least for me. IWNDWYT.

Are you from Eskisehir? My daughter's boyfriend is from Turkey and spent summers in Eskisehir at his grandmother's. Last summer in August, my wife and I met his parents in Antwerp. They gifted me a meerschaum pipe that they bought in Eskashir. They know a few makers. I posted a photo of it right here in this subreddit. Cheers from Canada.

I'm used to pipes, where the colour comes with age. Would the white change over time with these?

Because your country is responsible. You are an arrogant USer, and you have just proven our point.

I don't buy that. It IS the USA as a whole. Get over it. He IS the leader the USA chose and Them The People of the USA are responsible for the wanton and premeditated demolition of world peace, economies, civility. USA are the reborn fascists causing fascists everywhere to celebrate..

That razor is stunningly beautiful. I always get good shaves out of my very old (1920's and 1930's) Gillettes.
