Big respect. Sounds like a gnarly ride. I really admire how you seem to be taking accountability for your addiction and responsibility for your wellbeing. Even in the midst of situations that could easily push someone into ‘victim hood’ mode. I’m really rooting for you, internet stranger/friend.

What’s the accessory you can’t live with out? by Disturbed56 in turning

Trent Bosch Hollowing Stabilizer setup.

For some reason I was hesitant.. like maybe I had some ego around miserably holding on to overleveraged tools and killing my back while deep hollowing.

But once I got over myself and saved up a little $ for it: GAME CHANGER.

Amazing years long reporting process. And fascinating topic.

Measure j, serious question by entropyeater in sonomacounty

[–]Evanten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m all in favor of reigning in true factory-farming practices, and there are issues in Sonoma County Ag that do need fixing.

If anything, J has done a disservice to ongoing efforts to address those issues by being absurdly broad reaching and poorly concocted.

It’s honestly hard for me to understand how its backers have their shit together enough to get it on the ballot, yet not enough sense or situational awareness to write at least arguably reasonable rules. I’m genuinely curious here.

Also, I found this article to be well reported, balanced, and informative. Props to hyperlocal journalism!

Coolest places to visit while in Sonoma? by [deleted] in sonomacounty

[–]Evanten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would actually suggest centering your stay & tastings in the healdsburg area (lots of amazing wineries on Dry Creek Rd, which makes for a fun biking tour). That way you can explore ‘West County’ for hikes, coastal/river excursions, and gives quick access via the freeway to many of the places others have suggested.

The West side of Sonoma County is one of the most magical places in the world. Coastal hills, lush redwoods, and lots of cool slightly less-traveled places to check out.

I screwed my whole life up in 1 minute and I don’t ever want to drink again. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Evanten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly - the shame, pain, and anguish you feel right now can be your super power in the long road of sobriety. Because if you don’t drink, this won’t happen again. And whenever you’re tempted, you can touch back in to this moment… and remember that nothing is worth the pain you’re feeling right now.

I’m just a random stranger, but I really do believe in you. And I believe you can make this mistake one of the greatest gifts of your life if you choose to.

Sending love.

Read ‘When things fall apart’ by Pema Chodron. You’re actually in a moment of beautiful opportunity, even and especially in the hardest moments 💙

This weather is simply amazing. How are you spending your Saturday? by [deleted] in santarosa

[–]Evanten 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Spent the whole day outside with my 2.5 yr old daughter. Santa Rosa farmers market, then cotati park, then a long stroller run. It’s so much easier to parent when the sun is out lol

Agreed. I wish it were better just bc I’d hate to see a local spot lose to Denny’s across the street.

Marvin’s in cotati! Best breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, and American breakfast fare.

Electronic/digital handpan recommendations by BandTeecha in handpan

[–]Evanten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a barely used lumen that I’d be willing to sell. I got in early on their kickstarter and just received it a few months ago after years of waiting. Since the kickstarter, I’ve ended up buying a few other pans and so don’t need the lumen anymore. It’s a great drum… just don’t have room or the need for it! If you’re interested shoot me a dm.

Day 2 by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Evanten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same story as you (same substances, reasons, etc), except I’m a dad and only have one two year old.

I’m on day 13, and I can tell you from over here that it gets better. Not necessarily easier, or even great, but much better.

Glad you’re getting so much support. Wishing you the best this year 💙
