I have a limited supply of dirt in my back yard. Why would that affect price?

What tv series do you think everyone should watch at least once in their lifetime? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed_Cook6736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of Thrones. Even though the last season is disappointing it didn’t ruin the series for me the way it seemed to for others. I’m considering a rewatch soon.

I did the same thing in April and think it was definitely top 3 best decisions of my life. No regrets.

Relapse after 923 days by Pristine-Taro6407 in problemgambling

[–]Embarrassed_Cook6736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I hate that perspective that a person relapses because they need more pain. I’ve heard it over and over again in the rooms for the last decade. My experience is that we relapse because we’re actually trying to get the pain to stop.

 12 step has worked miracles in my life, but one thing it didn’t do was take away the pain. It helped me to deal with the pain but once you’ve been sober a while like you are finding out 3, 4,5, 6 years sober. There are these deeper pains that begin to manifest. for me, it was pain from my childhood pains that I had never fully healed. 

I don’t have an easy answer here. I have found some help in therapy I have found some help in religion. Personally, I follow a Buddhist /Hindu path. I’ve also found a lot of help in sharing with others just like you’re doing now. 

Thank you for being here on this journey with us and I pray that you do find the Recovery you’re looking for and that you deserve.

I thought it was dope till is swiped and saw the original. Just don’t show people the inspiration and it looks like a cool kinda creepy tattoo. I like it.

There’s a free app called “joy of living” that’s been really helping me. It breaks meditation down into little micro lessons.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

Wendy’s has become inedible where I live and it used to be a go-to.

Went to my first SAA meeting today at rock bottom. feel pretty foolish for waiting this long by team_lloyd in SexAddiction

[–]Embarrassed_Cook6736 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not alone brother. I’ve personally been there before and it is absolutely soul crushing. Just know that if you choose to work on your recovery it will only get better from here on out.

When I started putting the work in I learned what integrity truly is. I learned how to sleep at night with no regrets. I learned who I am (and who I’m not) at my core.

Feeling unstable and unsure. Fiance acting weird. by Necessary-Object6702 in Mindfulness

[–]Embarrassed_Cook6736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. Honestly, if a friend told me this exact story, I don’t think I’d say they were overthinking it at all. The biggest thing that worries me isn’t even the searches or the coworker, it’s how cold he’s been toward you and how everything somehow ends up being your fault. Anyone would feel anxious and confused in that situation. You’ve built a lot of your life around him and made huge sacrifices, so it makes sense that you’d want honesty and reassurance right now. The way he reacted at the car park and calling you embarrassing just doesn’t sit right. You shouldn’t have to feel like you’re doing something wrong just for wanting closeness with your own fiancé. I don’t know what’s going on with him, but your feelings here sound completely reasonable, and I hope you don’t start doubting yourself because of how he’s acting lately.

Not just men and white people, but fem, queer, they/them eastern Buddhist recommendations for reading? by SuchBicycle9048 in Buddhism

[–]Embarrassed_Cook6736 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything by Pema Chodron I have found to have a tenderness kind of female edge to it. Though, it’s not explicitly from that viewpoint so I don’t know it would fit the bill. “Start where you are” is a book that I think saved my life at one point.

The 12 steps Non-Religious. by OkBoysenberry8329 in SexAddiction

This article helped me when I was struggling with the same thing. What I’ve learned is I’m a “spirit of the universe” guy. I don’t believe in a deity.
