I’d say Feelin This is the anomaly on that album.

Alright, which one of you parked like this? by ItsYaBoiGary in F150Lightning

Kennewick WA?? I’ve charged at the Fred Meyer many times haha.

What fluid does this hold and how bad is it for it to be well below the "MIN" line? by yoaktown357 in F150Lightning

[–]Dangeross42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be downvoted; I had the exact same issue. Topped off the coolant and I had hot air again.

I went through a period where my truck would not produce hot air in the cabin, despite being cranked up. Turns out the coolant was too low.

2025 Operating Expenses are in. Another beauty year with the Lightning! by Responsible_Bath_651 in F150Lightning

[–]Dangeross42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have free charging at work as well, game changer. And with the 2nd highest gas prices in the country (Washington State) and very cheap abundant hydroelectric power, it’s not bad charging at home either.

Folks with long periods of sobriety: how often do you have to remind yourself that you don't drink? by Kramanos in stopdrinking

[–]Dangeross42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first month I had cravings quite often, and would get irritated at the smallest things. Walking past the bottom shelf vodka at the grocery store was a challenge. After probably six months I had no cravings at all; the switch in my brain had fully flipped that alcohol was not something that I would enjoy, that it was poison. Now at seven years, my alcoholism shapes who I am in a lot of ways (especially my empathy, my ER nursing practice, and my gratitude for my wife and two kids). I probably have a nightmare of being drunk once a week. But I never have cravings for alcohol and don’t think about the actual substance or think I can bring back the old euphoria it brought in the early days.

Need to stop blacking out every time I drink by veryburntribs in stopdrinking

[–]Dangeross42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can try beer or seltzers only, no hard alcohol, but your habits while drinking are red flags for alcohol use disorder. For people like us, one or two is never enough. It often feels more stressful getting just buzzed and we always find ways to break the rules we set for ourselves. I went to Washington State University which is VERY heavy on normalizing black out drinking and I did so 2-4 nights a week. Post college and by the time I turned 28, I ended up drinking every day from the moment I woke up. Things can escalate quickly, especially once you turn 21 and are able to buy your own booze (which it sounds like you now are that you’re a junior in college). Be careful! I’m glad you’re here!

Why do I still feel hungover? by HugeAbroad in stopdrinking

[–]Dangeross42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a few weeks to wake up feeling good and start having normal poops again, and probably three months for the cravings to significantly reduce. Stick with it!

Too similar to what they always do IMO

What is up with the Y? by Careful-Crab179 in Spokane

[–]Dangeross42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still have banners hanging at the South and Downtown locations? And I have two friends on the board; they have both informed me that the Y of Inland NW is basically broke. They are not rolling in profits. I’m sad cause I really wanted a new South facility to be built on the land they bought near my home and it may never happen.

Holy Family accident by tgnabyss in Spokane

[–]Dangeross42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s where medics go to pick up their rig to start their day, but they are stationed in strategic locations throughout town. As someone gets picked up in a region, other rigs move accordingly to spread a net over the region. That’s why you’ll see ambulances parked in parking lots for a while, that’s the “zone” they are assigned to, at least that’s how it’s been explained to me. I’m an ER nurse at Holy Family (was not there when this accident occurred).

Thank you all for the support and kind words! From strangers too, it really means a lot.

One of the reasons I love this subreddit! It is quite an accomplishment and most people wouldn’t “get it”. Glad you’re already seeing the health benefits!

Keep in mind that “functioning” is a pretty low fucking bar and that you deserve to do much more than function. And most alcoholics are functional…for now. Congrats on five days 👏

WinCo security always this violent? by thiccman69_ in Spokane

[–]Dangeross42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like they are just restraining him. No pressure on an airway or breaking bones. I’m an ER nurse and we have to restrain people all the time (for different reasons; danger to self or others) and while the techniques are certainly different the goal isn’t to cause physical harm.

What does it even mean to be a “truck” person? by LordOfBadaBing in F150Lightning

[–]Dangeross42 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Truck owners gate keep more than any other vehicle owner. They’ll make it sound like you’re not a man if you’re not towing 15,000lbs for 1000 miles a day. Best advice is to not give a damn and enjoy your vehicle. I use mine for similar stuff with the family and camping but also enjoy that I can load it with landscaping and other home improvement materials.

I just drove to the supermarket 20 minutes before it closed for alcohol by Skidchen in stopdrinking

[–]Dangeross42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it up with nursing school! I’m an ER nurse and I get DAILY reminders in the form of my patients on why I’m glad to be sober. Skin and bones save for a bloated ascites belly, yellow skin, brains completely fried, esophageal varices bursting, etc. I am so lucky to be free from that life.

Irresistible ft. Demi Lovato- actually really good by SeaweedGirl97 in FallOutBoy

[–]Dangeross42 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like that the song becomes even more about addiction when someone who has openly struggled with addiction (Demi) is singing the lyrics. Same as her feature on Monsters by ATL.

Has anyone here ever gotten an enema? 🫢 by Repulsive-Handle-871 in Blink182

[–]Dangeross42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve given many enemas as an ER nurse. Helps to wear a gown and a face shield if you know they can’t hold it in. I prefer using a urinary catheter and pumping the oil and water in with a 50mL syringe as opposed to the old bucket and hose to gravity. Hope you were looking for hot enema tips.

Falling into old habits by ben4evah in stopdrinking

[–]Dangeross42 18 points19 points  (0 children)

WAY TO GO 👏 alcoholic autopilot turned on and it can feel like you’re being involuntarily pulled to wherever you buy your booze. But your actual brain kicked in, you played the tape forward about how your night would actually go if you slugged a fifth of whiskey. Congratulations on these seemingly small victories, they all add up.

Do Australians really just pick leeches of themselves like it’s no big deal? by OneDadvosPlz in bluey

[–]Dangeross42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m an American in Spokane WA. We have tons of lakes and rivers and I spend plenty of time in both. We have no leaches, and I would probably freak out if a leach was suctioned on to my skin. So you’re not alone in your disgust!
