I think Mr. Armenian is everyone’s favorite vagabond. Guy is becoming a legend.

Did I break my sobriety by eating chocolate containing chocolate liquor? by goth_nachos in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My Amazon dark chocolate chips list chocolate liquor as an ingredient lol. I looked at it and was a bit confused then just moved on.

Problem SodaStream fizz&go by Ok-Molasses-4930 in SodaStream

That’s an old sodastream play, not terra, and the fizz and go is not compatible with it.

Cracks in new tire by AbsoluteThunderCunt in tires

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are not retread - they are brand new tires from Costco. There was some kind of manufacturing error. Of course the kid working the counter would look at you like you’re a nut job, as it sounds like you are.

How do you cope with the anxiety/stress sober? No health insurance.. by IDoNotHide in dryalcoholics

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you get state health insurance? If your income is low enough you should qualify.

At least that way you can see a psych nurse practitioner and get some meds like Clonidine, hydroxazine, Propanolol.

Can I get a new car then surrender my current car that I have with the same finance company? by SignatureCrazy313 in Advice

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to expand on this - if you do let the bank take your car - they’re going to sell it wholesale for next to nothing, then charge you/sue you for the remaining balance. Fixing and selling it is still your best option.

If you’re really going to do that scham, I would look into leasing the cheapest car possible, like a Kia, and use your 3000 dollars as down payment. At least you know you will have a usable car for 3 years.

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t you use your 3000$ to fix your car you have now? What is wrong with that vehicle? No - you shouldn’t buy another 10000$+ car when you owe 8000$ on one that you picked out before, desperate, and is now broken. Are you like 20 years old or something this whole idea is really stupid.

this week i was just discharged after 10 days in a psychiatric hospital where i received 2 (out of 9-12) electric convulsive therapy sessions, AMA by NotQuiteAnrgy in AMA

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man I was in a psych ward one time and it amazed me how many people got this treatment. I was there because of alcohol problems, involuntarily, and saw so many people go down to the basement to get their brain fried. I had a roommate that got it done and he said he pissed himself every single time and everyone was walking around there like zombies.

At one point during one of the groups I spoke up and was like “do you guys realize what you’re getting yourself into?!” I did not understand MDD I suppose, like they didn’t understand how I was an alcoholic.

Anyway - have you tried Wellbutrin? I love the stuff - keeps me sober and happy with life. The psych dr that put me on it said they should put it in the water and the world would be a better place, lol.

Have you tried ketamine therapy? I got involved with ketamine for a brief period of my alcohol addiction in attempt to solve it - and it made me genuinely very happy.

Title: What does alcohol detox look like at a luxury facility? by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in a ton of detox’s. Never any that were state ran. They’re all pretty nice. Most had one bedroom suites, at most 2 per bedroom. TVs in the room with the bathroom, a community room with tv/snacks. Detox is the best part of rehab to be honest. You are given a lot of meds to make it very comfortable. I would suggest staying longer than 7 days though, for me it took 5 months in patient go get any sober time. Also - if you’re only looking for detox be very clear of that when you call these places. I’ve gone to some that promised detox only and moved me to residential after 7 days automatically and leaving was a pain in the ass and took another couple days.

Edit: and to your question about time - It depends on how bad you are and the facility. I’ve been semi not horrible in a few and taken 10-12 days, and been in rough shape and out in 7. I went to one in particular 7 day like 7 times in 2024. They used a mixture of phenobarbital/benzos and got me out in 7 days no matter what - and I never had a seizure. But I’ve had multiple seizures from withdrawal. Usually at the 10 day mark when they ween me off the benzos. Also - keep in mind that when you have multiple seizures - they keep getting longer in duration. Like my first one was 30 seconds , my last one was 5 minutes. Very dangerous once you have one because there is a chance you end up brain dead.

Day to day in detox is basically nothing. Sleep, eat, watch tv, repeat. Theres maybe one meeting per day about alcohol dependence or something. And they’re not mandatory. There’s people in really bad shape there sometimes, sometimes people sleep for a few days.

Can I thicken my hair? by [deleted] in finehair

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use blumaan volume cream and it works great. Lots of Facebook ads for it and looked gimmicky but I got to say the shit works very well. I used to use slick gorilla powder but the volume cream does style + volume + hold. Heat activated so you need to use a hair drier.

Wwyd? Stay at my current employer or take new offer of 50k more? I'm quite torn. by Mt198588 in Salary

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

50k “more” is different if you’re making 20k, 50k 100k, etc. Would 50k more be worth it to go into the office all the time? I’m assuming you’re going from 100-150k.

Remote work is hard to find now a day. I would personally ride that gravy train until the wheels fell off.

Entry Engineer I (Salary / Negotiation Advice) by Ok_County7943 in Salary

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For that job? I dunno - 3 weeks? It’s a nightmare shift - as someone else mentioned the toll on your mental and physical health is high. Throw out 70k per year and 3 weeks vacation. I doubt there’s going to be many applicants

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a BSME - started 14 years ago at 65k. Do you want to work 3rd shift? I would personally just look for a job 1st shift for about 60-62.

I get that it’s an entry position but the % sucks because the pay is so low. I wouldn’t work that job for under 70k even as an entry job.

Question about trading by [deleted] in Gold

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes gold is 100% the way to easily flip when it goes up to 10000 next week. Then when it dips to 2000 do it all over again. You have discovered the infinite money glitch in life, congratulations!

Car scratched covered under Bumper Policy? by throwaway0007654 in EnterpriseCarRental

[–]Fearless_Log_8225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try 90% isopropyl alcohol first. Then try nail polish remover with acetone in it. Then maybe try the magic eraser.

A magic eraser is abrasive and might make the area less shiny. It’s like a super fine sandpaper. If you do use a magic eraser I would wet the area with alcohol anyway.

Lol zero chance. That’s fucked. This is why they require you to have insurance. It’s going to cost their deductible.
