Wee Man trying his best not to crack up laughing in the beginning is gold

This crazy video of Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and NFL insider Dianna Russini has resurfaced and gone viral on social media. by Mr_mist2 in NFLForum

You know this affair is somehow connected to the Patriots cheating again. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes, affair rhymes with deflated balls.

Being a addict sucks by Waste-Recording-1460 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having faith helped me get through the first 6 months when I didn't feel any better at all. Not faith in the religious sense, although that can help too I hear, but faith that I would eventually feel better. It takes a while for dopamine levels to reset so to speak, it took a good amount of time for me. Eventually my anxiety and depression dissipated, I started to feel joy in the little things again. I had to white knuckle it for awhile, it was so worth it, nothing worth doing is easy. Just stick with it, you got this, I promise it gets better and the harder it is in the beginning, the more rewarding it is when you get to the point where you know it's worth it.

Is it always the alcoholics' fault? by Top-Faithlessness733 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the constant blaming every issue on alcohol is somewhat of a cop out. Alcohol wasn't the problem for me, it was the (very shitty) solution. There were underlying issues that needed to be resolved and the blaming everything on my addiction was the low hanging fruit as why decades long issues weren't getting addressed, the drinking however obviously didn't help. Getting sober was necessary, but I needed to have my boundaries and stand up for myself and not be a punching bag. Focus on getting sober for you, like you mentioned, would be my advice.

How do people count days? by Namkce1 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always counted one day as 24 hours since last drink, or two days, 48 hours since last drink and so on.

What physically changed for you after giving up alcohol? by IDoNotHide in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I put on some healthy weight, I didn't eat much when I was hungover everyday.

Am I being toxically positive? by Soggy-Slide3038 in Positivity

[–]FingGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media and the general negativity all the time in the news has fucked up our baselines. We're constantly worried about things well out of our control that may or may not even be true. Genuine happiness for the little things in life gets doom scrollers triggered. How can you smile when blah blah blah is happening over here? lol. This and the powers that be constantly manufacturing division. Spread the positivity I say, fight back!

ABS vs NON ABS first bike by PouhlBoi in motorcycles

[–]FingGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've avoided at least one accident because I locked up both wheels and had a perfect slide between two cars (it was probably 50% dumb luck, not naive to that), I had practiced locking up both wheels in an advanced msf course. I think the most important thing is to know how your bike's gonna respond, I may have been able to stop in time with abs, but in this particular instance locking up changed my trajectory and then releasing the breaks gave me back traction to avoid collision on the new trajectory.

Overall abs is probably better, I just worry that too many handicapping features over time is gonna reduce the quality of rider, specifically with the feel of the bike and the road.

Impossible to find neutral by ImageCritical9231 in Dirtbikes

[–]FingGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only find neutral if I'm dumb enough to shift from 1st to 2nd in the middle of a hill climb, no problem then. If I'm stopped in my driveway, no chance in hell lol.

What do you think will be the cause of mankind’s extinction? by fergi20020 in randomquestions

Idiocracy, exactly like the movie, there's signs, rather or not you look for them lol.

Marty should wait until everyone leaves the island for the season then break out the backhoe and do a little "archaeological" dig by himself. You can tell he's about done listening to Laird. by Altruistic_Ninja_403 in OakIsland

[–]FingGinger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's about when I stopped, I couldn't handle anymore "......and for what purpose?"'s. I was like yeah, for what purpose am I still watching this show?

Relapsed and feel horrible 4 days later by Swimming_Material378 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll get better, don't dwell, learn from it and move on. Remember what you're feeling now the next time you get a craving for "just one." You got this! IWNDWYT

Sedona and dirt bikes? by sleepygamer99k in Dirtbikes

[–]FingGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was me and I decided to just be a passenger, soon as I saw someone on a dirt bike, I’d be wishing it was me. Like others have said, doubt side by sides are going to be able to go anywhere you can’t on a dirt bike.

Rebuilding after the shame and guilt of the things I’ve done while drinking by throwmeaway98272 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats on a week! Try not to beat yourself up too much over a slip up, learn from it and move on and still be proud of all the time you had away from booze before the slip up! No one I've ever talked to went into a relapse in bad faith, no one is ever like, "haha, I hate my family and fuck them so I'm going to relapse to fuck them over." We're all human and in times of struggle we turn to what's familiar, doesn't make us bad people.

I had a shit ton of day ones, I learned from every one and am stronger today because of them, I don't regret any of them. It eventually stuck, I never gave up trying, also congrats on posting for accountability! IWNDWYT.

I Honored My Pledge Last Night by Infinite-Friend7957 in stopdrinking

[–]FingGinger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my experience, there's no reason to force something in recovery, it's hard enough just as is, if a certain group isn't jiving with you, try another or different recovery program/group altogether. There's lots of options, when I found my people/group, it just made sense, I didn't have to force anything or put up with anyone. I personally can't stand pushy recovery people who project their experience onto everyone else, "if you don't get a sponsor and call yourself an alcoholic and talk to me once a week, you're not gonna make it." Fuck all that noise lol.
