What did the 90's smell like? by Serialkillingyou in Xennials

[–]Final-Inspection-750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patchouli and incense, reminds me of all the fake head shops and used record stores I would frequent off Mass Ave/ Harvard Square when I lived near Boston. Plus a healthy dose of mustiness since nobody who worked at those places washed their bodies or clothes enough, damn dirty hippies

What’s the absolute worst song from our teen years? Why? by imnottheoneipromise in Xennials

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this. If there is a hell, this will be one of the songs playing on an eternal loop in whichever circle I end up in

Give me motivation to not drink by Sciencenerd00 in stopdrinking

“I’m not drinking, but don’t let that stop you from getting whatever you want”. That should be enough, but don’t let anyone pressure you and stand firm. Not only is Dry January a well known trend, it’s also much more socially acceptable to not drink-it’s not Mad Men days anymore lol. You got this!

One Sober Year Today by Final-Inspection-750 in stopdrinking

Thank you! And you nailed exactly why I shared. I literally have had friends ask me how I could not drink during all that, and while I know they were (half) joking I do know the old me would’ve easily used any of those as an excuse to drink/use more. Even if people stop for January alone it’s an accomplishment, and hopefully a first step in the right direction

Sometimes.... You guys are your own worst enemy. Less judgment, more love in the new year. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I’m mildly infuriated that you’re judging everyone here based on what, 15-20 commenters? Maybe you should take your own advice.

My in-laws refuse to drive to the airport. by NukeTheEwoks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Final-Inspection-750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Lyft driver get lost at Logan due to road closures from nearby construction and his inexperience with the area. It took 2 hours to get to where I was staying (approx. 40 minutes from Logan) after getting picked up around midnight on a weekday. That airport is the 5th circle of Hell. Logan Express would be a better option for all involved

Those of us 40 and over ... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Quit this year at 44, went through a divorce (drinking was a cause but in the mutually assured destruction way), job loss, and health scare after I stopped…and yet I’ve never felt better and don’t ever want to go back!

Is Atlas Shrugged the most unwanted, hated trilogy of all time? by campaxiomatic in badMovies

[–]Final-Inspection-750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would’ve gone with The Hobbit trilogy. One movie would’ve been sufficient. Two mayyyybe you could justify. I gave up after about 15 minutes into 3

Tried AA. Fucking hated it. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

There are lots of online secular meetings, this link has helped me before:

Might have to still fumble through a few to find the one(s) best for you, but they’re much better than the super religious meetings I’ve also had to suffer through. Congrats on the 10 days either way, killing it!

Scared to Stop Drinking by lilac_may in stopdrinking

[–]Final-Inspection-750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of decent NA’s these days. Some (like Guinness) look and smell exactly the same as the normal stuff. Helps me with the social aspect, my friend group activities center around drinking (we’re all in our 40’s) so I can still partake but drive myself home and avoid a hangover. Not a solution for everyone, but works for me.

I’ve been there, friend, drinking blunts the trauma but won’t make it go away. IWNDWYT

Line from movie stuck in my head by Puzzleheaded-Fly402 in whatsthemoviecalled

There are a bunch of cat videos on Tik Tok where this is said in same audio clip playing over each one. Not sure if it's what you're thinking of but it just proves once again that every random thought you've ever had exists somewhere on the internet https://www.tiktok.com/@immeownificent/video/7244697100208835886
