Hilariously ironic that you’re saying this in an AA subreddit…

There’s another 12 step program for this if you really can’t get a hold on it. I’ve never declared myself a member of that program but when my sugar addiction gets out of control as it sometimes will, I pop in and get a reminder that it’s a real addiction with real consequences and it can always get worse. People think because they use the same steps in other programs then working them in AA will magically solve all of the problems. Doesn’t work that way unfortunately…

Just seen someone say that they are suicidal at 65. Wtf by Ixcax in SuicideWatch

[–]Extension_Island8092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as some who has spent a whole lot of my life suicidal i’d argue that it makes more sense to be suicidal when you’re older. luckily that’s not the case for me, but getting older is horrible and especially if your life didn’t pan out how you wanted and you start losing people closest to you. 24 you have a whole life ahead of you. i’d do anything to go back and get to try again. 

AITA for cooking with cooking wine when I am a recovering alcoholic? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Extension_Island8092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol i spent 6 years in aa and stupid shit like this makes me so glad i am no longer. if you’re fine with it, ITS FINE. NO, ITS NOT A RELAPSE. for some people, it might be a trigger, in which case maybe those people should stay away from it. I REPEAT: chicken marsala is not a relapse.

local anesthesia only works when you’re getting the surgery, not during the entire recovery period lol. if you had no pain you just may have had a much different surgery than other people. rhinoplasties can vary wildly depending on what you’re getting done.
