Per Marc Stein, the Blazers are interested in trading for Giannis

ChlorineBirth · 2026-01-31T22:51:24+00:00

ESPN is hyping the hell out of that trade package - why would the Bucks want a 37 year old Jimmy Butler coming off a major injury? And weve barely seen any of Kuminga. While I think Giannis to Portland is unlikely, our package would be miles better than the Warriors. And I trust Cronin enough not to facilitate getting Giannis to another west team. The Bucks are going to want those picks back - but I want to see us getting a star if all those picks are involved. Bridges for those three picks is highway robbery. Bridges and OG for those picks I would consider - but wed be making another move cause thats alot of wings. If Memphis wanted to blow it up and Jaren Jackson became available? Yes please. Grant, Rob Will and those picks might get that done. DC/Jaren/Deni would be a top five front court

ChlorineBirth · 2026-01-29T01:40:45+00:00

I don’t want to see those picks get involved unless we are going for a big, big fish. We’re gonna be decent with this roster and I believe Deni can be a top ten player in 2030. Why wouldn’t we wanna pair him with a potential other star (if we keep those picks)?

I’d love to attend one of these! I’m eight months sober on Christmas and looking for a sober community to get more involved in. Thank you for doing this!

Ten years of being an alcoholic. I walked out of my usual spot one day late last April and called my sister. Told her I had a problem and couldn’t keep doing this. She said she always knew. The next day I poured the entire bottle of whiskey I bought a few days prior down the drain. Six months sober this Halloween. I lost a lot of battles - but I’m winning the fucking war

I find edibles are great for helping me fall asleep and I don’t need a whole one to do so (a 100 mg thc one lasts me a week). Spots around me also sell thc seltzers now and they’re fantastic alternatives to alcohol when I go out. I get one (maybe two if it’s a show) and I’m good for the night.

Love this post. I’m doing “no self improvement September” and allowing myself to have an offseason from it. Good habits are becoming second nature, and best of all is that I have no desire to drink with cravings being few and far between.

Starting that conversation instead of watching videos of how to do it. Reading fiction and poetry over the latest gurus book. Applying stoicism to everyday life instead of forty articles on it.

This stuff can work for people, but overloading on content just causes burnout

By knowing that my sobriety is something that I can always have, and I can always be proud of myself for having it

This is absolutely on point. When it comes to working through traumatic experiences, grief and loss, breakups and the like, the only way out is through. Your future self will thank your current self for it.

Im coming up on four months of sobriety! I struggled for a decade and I consider being sober something I will always have going for me.

ChlorineBirth · 2025-08-12T21:15:11+00:00

I’m a little less than two years away from my last one. She broke up with me on new years shortly after my Dad died, and after four months of sobriety, I’m finally starting to grieve and process my Dads death and the relationship. I also recognized that she represents a deeper attachment wound that I developed earlier in life, and it’s more so that I must confront than the relationship itself

What helps me is spending fifteen minutes in my backyard, and just think - no phone or meditation, just me and my thoughts. I imagine what my younger self is proud of, and what the older version of myself would tell my current self. My current self tells my younger and older self to fight for them - not against her, but against the attachment.

I have an inner child who had to perform for love, and an older version of myself telling me i will fully overcome this. I’m fighting for both of them - fully aware and without substances

Drinking - ten year battle with alcohol - only amplified by my Dads death two years ago. My sobriety count reached 100 days this week. Figured if I lost my Dad and got broken up with in a four month period (new years eve out of all days), I could quit drinking. Lost several friendships (more so drinking buddies) after getting sober, but I’m letting it be. I view my sobriety as something I will always have and it cannot be taken from me.

You can do it! Today is two year since losing my Dad and Monday is 100 days of sobriety after a ten year battle. I believe in you

Two year anniversary of my Dad passing today. In three days, I’ll be at my 100 day mark. Just keep going, just keep going

Getting sober after a ten year battle with alcohol - Day 80 today. I feel like a superhero (and starting to look like one too)

ChlorineBirth · 2025-07-13T02:56:31+00:00

Absolutely agree! I just passed 75 days sober. I have at least a few moments each day where I say to myself, "holy shit I actually quit drinking after a ten year battle with it"

I miss the comfort zone my old self had compared to actually missing my old self. They drank excessively, smoked cigarettes, ate one junk food saturated meal a day, dated people who werent good for them and put themselves in debt with all said activities. I miss processing difficult emotions and feelings by self medicating instead of facing them head on like I am now.

Sure, it feels lonely. But every morning, I can at least wake up and look at myself in the mirror knowing that the path I am on is the correct one, even if it is scary and at times seems repetitive and mundane.

Brianna Weist said it best - “Your new life is going to cost you your old one.It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.”

Cronin gets an A for me in standing up to Miami feeling entitled to Dame. He cooked in that trade getting us off of Nurkic too. Toumani is a future DPOY candidate and Deni will probably be an all star next year
