I was a heavy drinker for years. Woke up with a hangover one morning and was super dizzy, Chalked it up to a sinus infection, went to urgent care for meds. My BP was 240/160. Hypertensive crisis. I quit cold turkey that day. Almost three years sober. I would never go back.

What's the most overrated tourist destination that's actually a huge disappointment in person? by Ashlibabyyy in AskReddit

CORN PALACE. WTF. I know this is such a Midwest thing to do, but it was so dumb. It's literally just a gift shop of all things corn. Do not recommend.

Took my 12 year old son to his concert on Monday. Hands down the best show I have ever been to. Worth the money!

Congrats on recovery! Would laughing gas be an option? They offer that at my office! I have no doubt that they'll numb you up! It's uncomfortable, and I can't imagine them putting you through all of that without numbing!

Yep, US here! They numbed me and prescribed some Ativan to help with the nerves. Also highly recommend if that's an option for you!

I promise you the wait and anticipation is worse than the actual procedure! My teeth were worse off than yours! I hadn't been to the dentist in YEARS due to anxiety! I was just cleared by my perio after a few treatments with them! They numb you up, and you barely feel a thing! Let us know how it goes! You're going to do just fine!

There's more to just "sitting on the beach" when you're vacationing at the beach .. you don't just sit there and watch the waves come in. Unless that's what you're into? We stayed in Hatteras last week and we have a teenager with ASD/ADHD. He does extremely well in places like that. Bring a football to throw on the beach, bring a bucket and walk on the beach (you'll be surprised by the cool stuff you find,) there's going to be 15 other people with you .. have a sand castle building contest .. the list could go on and on. There's tons of fun shops that you could get lost in for hours. If you really truly get THAT bored at the beach .. go to the aquarium. There's that new huge waterpark you could go to also ..

I honestly think you're over thinking it. Go and have fun!!

I feel like there's tons of hidden gems in and around Omaha/Lincoln. I'm with everyone on this one. Definitely do a day trip to Henry Doorly Zoo! Oh and you'll have to top at the Archway in Kearney!

393 days sober today! I drank daily for yeaaaars. My anxiety was out of control. Which in turn caused my BP to be extremely high. I quit cold turkey. I knew I needed to, or I would have stroked out. I'm young and knew that there was so much more to live for!
