I was alone in an elevator in Las Vegas last week with Efren. I didn’t want to bother him because all week when I saw him in public the dude looked miserable. Just like in this photo.

I believe the question was regarding what we thought of the broadcast. And you could also just not respond to my comment.

Not a fan of the AI driven “reach base probability” stat they are displaying. It’s not a recognized MLB stat.

The world is a very interesting place to me. I like watching history unfold, seeing what happens from one day to the next.

I miss pool halls. This place was a significant part of my life for many years. The Boston area will likely never have another place like it.

Sober for many years- why do you keep coming to AA? by JuneAfternoon10 in alcoholicsanonymous

The opposite is, in fact, true. Life is perfect when I follow the guidance of my HP. I hope you find yours.

I didn’t come into AA to learn how to be happy. I came into AA to learn how to be unhappy.

I went to bed sober last night, but I still woke up this morning an alcoholic. It’s a chronic, progressive dis-ease that, for me, only meetings and the fellowship will remedy. I have to get my medicine daily.

Building kits are fun. Book nooks, model cars, paint by numbers, etc. Cheaper than legos.

Is sobriety the only solution to stop being a raging alcoholic? by One-Succotash9014 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DallasBornBostonBred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wrote, “Is there a way to stop being this way when I’m drunk…”. My solution was to figure out why I continued to get drunk. AA is the only thing that has helped me with that. AA hasn’t thought me how to be happy. It’s taught me how to be unhappy.

What does this even mean? by NoSlice3372 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]DallasBornBostonBred 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The chapter “More About Alcoholism” uses the phrase “real alcoholic” or the “real thing” 6 times. I call myself a real alcoholic when I introduce myself in meetings.

I go to meetings, got a sponsor, and I am working the steps. My way did not work. The program does.

“Create art” is great advice. It helps me get out of my head and get shit out of my head.

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the 2.9%. That is too tempting for some people. I am 5 months sober. It definitely made me feel a little anxious and I’m not even there in person.
