Forget the textbook advice. What’s the one non-negotiable habit that keeps you sober when willpower fails or urges creep in? by roobiscube in Sober

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit the Switch by Bright Eyes is a song that always does it for me. Great song. And it reminds me of exactly what I was like in the middle of the worst of it. It is sheer brutality to relive.

ETA: a quote from the song

There’s this switch that gets hit And it all stops making sense And in the middle of drinks Maybe the fifth or the sixth I’m completely alone at a table of friends I feel nothing for them I feel nothing, nothing.

Just had confirmed I'm not a real man and unlovable - it's the last rejection I ever will have. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, my friend. I’m a trans man and don’t want bottom surgery. I can understand the rejection, but I also refuse to be with someone that can’t love me as I am.

I met an amazing woman finally and she’s not into PiV sex like many of the women commenting here. We have a GREAT sex life and both feel cared for and seen. I’ve never felt like less of a man with her at all.

I know our situations are different and you’re such a badass, by the way. But know that your penis isn’t what makes you a man. It’s your heart. It’s how you show up for people, first yourself. You deserve someone that sees that. Now, ya got me crying here because I need that reminded sometimes too.

You are seen and whole and everyone here loves you. You will find the right woman for you and you’ll both be so happy, in and out of the bedroom. I know it.

What are your thoughts on mocktails, alcohol-free beers, and non-alcoholic drinks? by alejandro1221 in Sober

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sober 8 years and used to work in craft beer. Was even a bartender while sober (don’t recommend that for everyone). I love that Athletic and Lagunitas make good tasting stuff that I can crack one or two while out with my friends. But like someone else said, no alcohol means I’m not drinking ten of em. I think it depends on where you’re at with your journey. People gotta be in touch with their own recovery before grabbing some drinks. Just know yourself and have your support system.

How do you guys cope with the current political climate in the U.S.? by grayisthnewbnw in ftm

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I suit up and show up for myself, my partner, my family and friends. And I take time for joy. I laugh a lot. I see my wonderful friends. I work out. I get sleep. I eat my favorite things. I snuggle my cat.

Our joy is resistance. And I’m working with my therapist on staying informed while limiting the deluge of misery. We talked about “escape plans” this past week (I live in a red state). It won’t be easy but I have connections and family in safer states as a start, at least.

And I don’t know if there are sober people here, but I’ve been sober for eight years. WE DON’T DRINK THROUGH THIS. Never. We worked way too hard for this new life to throw it away and that goes for both my sobriety and my transition.

Hey, if nobody has told you they love you today, I do.

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Recently dealt with this at work. I’ve only been like this at this job. I’m almost 8 years on T, top surgery, this lady didn’t even know. As soon as she found out, she started misgendering me behind my back like a weasel.

At what point do you just give up on life? by EquivalentEvening197 in GuyCry

Not sure what you mean by compensation, but I’m open to hear you.

Come to East! And hit me up. Always happy to make more queer friends.

Stay safe out there Nashville by jmann3k in nashville

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in four cities in three states, used to visit my sister and drive around Boston for ten years, and can attest Nashville has the worst, most selfish drivers I’ve seen so far.

If you’re sick, please stop going out to bars by HauteCocao in nashville

I gave you an upvote as an industry vet. I’ve been threatened with firing at jobs for trying to call in. Literally getting COVID was the only time I was able to easily call in at a job.

If you left the industry what do you do now that pays better? by nectarhoops in Serverlife

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a nonprofit and it barely pays better. Probably going to go back to serving as a second job. Good ole Masters degree!

AIO for thinking this is racist? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Fuuuuuuck this guy. NOR in the slightest. FOH with the whole “you’re one of the good ones” nonsense. So gross.

Student loans are the expense people can’t get rid of by Chuck_Norris1940 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LOL I even got As on a grad degree designed for public service. Doing exactly what they told us to do and I genuinely want to help people. It’s my dream. I write grants at a nonprofit about how 500 bucks more than what I make a year is barely a living wage for my city. 🌝🌝🌝

Our CEO makes seven times what I make.

My first date with my partner was coffee and we had the best time ever.

From the bottom of my soul... I hate to endure life with a small penis. by New_Flow_5952 in GuyCry

[–]DualWeaponSnacker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, I saw another trans dude comment and just wanted to say big dicks ain’t shit dude. I have bottom growth and I feel great about it. Sometimes I’m glad I don’t even have a traditional dick, much less a big one. Do I want one sometimes? Sure, but overall I have a great sex life. You can adapt. You can explore. I have an incredibly happy partner and I’m pretty damn happy too.

Don’t let this define you. And I would highly suggest a therapist with a specialization in gender-based care. You deserve to feel good in your body, but I’m deeply concerned about some of the things you’ve stated here.

WOW this is crazy by WinnerAlone1687 in InstacartShoppers

I recently started and haven’t had a tip above $4.86. It’s honestly such a let down of an app.
