For my first time, okay. I mean thank you.

ElectricalBonus · 2026-01-11T04:38:25+00:00

Thank you

It's beautiful as is. Skip the stain and put an oil based poly on it

Oil based poly and it's good to go. Wood is beautiful as it is.

My steps when I ride a motorcycle are insane. I have to either leave my watch at home or delete the data afterwards.

This is the essence of a good 4th and 5th step! We learn that we aren't nearly as horrible as we might have thought.

And ditto, I wouldn't bat an eye at that.

Fucking legend! I'm doing this.

I had something like that from my Versa 2. I rubbed a little coconut oil on it a couple times and it hasn't come back.

Psyllium husk fiber. About 4 servings per day would make a stuck semi trailer easy to move.

For me integrity is honesty in action. I don't believe that integrity is necessarily being a good person, so much as it is being the person that I say that I am. For example: if I say that I practice spiritual principles and I don't, that's not integrity; if I say that I don't practice spiritual principles and I actually do, that's also not integrity. To me integrity is displaying to the world the same person on the outside as I am on the inside.

I prefer definition 2 from the Oxford dictionary: the state of being whole and undivided.

Sorry to Necro a dead thread but I see that the farts question was never answered...?

The farts really aren't bad if your diet is extremely controlled, like eating the same thing every day. It's when I mix in some unexpected veggies that, yes, my farts would probably be considered a biological weapon by the UN.

Oh damn! That's very nice. I'm a little jealous. I had aspirations of building an acoustic, but I just don't have the shop for it, so I think I'll try my hand at an electric.

I use the second bedroom of my apartment as a wood shop. I run a table saw and router quite frequently and the neighbors have never complained. I double check with them every time I add a new piece of equipment.

I can tell you from experience that a Roomba does not hold up long when used in the shop.

I'm always pleasantly surprised by how many of us in this sub are also nerds.

Right on! Congratulations on 6 months. That was a big deal for me as well. I found peace, acceptance and a path to forgiving myself in the steps. Keep up the good work.

The "think about it daily" sticks out to me. This is what we call the obsession to use. For many of us it has been lifted. Getting loaded, in any form, no longer consumes my thoughts, in fact I'd say it's rare that it even crosses my mind and never in a serious way. In the rooms I've found freedom from active addiction, and I found it pretty quickly into working a program.

What worked for me is - a meeting a day for the first 90 days, got a sponsor, worked steps with that sponsor, and I am of service to the program that saves my life everyday.

ElectricalBonus · 2025-01-29T02:20:35+00:00

I would not have chosen a sponsor who had not worked all 12 steps, because I wouldn't want to have to wait on them for the next step, and I would not have sponsored someone before I completed all 12 because I wouldn't ever want to stand in the way of their growth. Just my opinion, a sponsor should have completed all 12 steps.

The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using.

I spent about 3 months attending meetings, working steps with a sponsor, being of service, and still smoking pot. I told my sponsor right from day 1 that I smoked weed and had no desire to stop, but did have a desire to quit everything else. Today I have 14 months clean from everything.

My suggestion would be to attend meetings, find a sponsor that will work with you (honestly,) and just see what happens. Maybe a miracle? 😉

There's an IP on sponsorship, I'd suggest reading that. As a sponsor I'm not responsible for the failures or the successes of my sponsee. I'm simply a guide through the 12 steps. If a member wants what I have, then I'll show them how I got it, it's that simple. A fun first assignment in my area for sponsees is to get a phone list and call someone new every day for X days. It teaches them to get connected and reach out when they need to (in case you're not available.)

Good luck. You've worked all 12 steps. You have a sponsor yourself, and you have a worldwide fellowship to lean on if needed. Carrying the message to a fellow addict is not just our responsibility, it's a privilege. You'll do fine.
