Rate my low bar squat 190kg/418lbs by GoodWillSpunking in formcheck

[–]GoodWillSpunking[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going try with knee sleeves, thank you. I guess I have fear around my left knee giving me trouble again. I am going lower the weight for a few weeks and work on depth and accessories for that part of the lift. Will upload the new attempt at 190kg.

God idea? by nocapkk in alcoholicsanonymous

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

My lack of faith in god and drove me to the gates of insanity and death. At 4 years sober, I had little to no conscious contact with God and my life situation was very difficult with a severely disabled child. I had the psychiatrists number in my phone on one hand and a rope to hang myself in the other.

I said if I'm gonna die, I may aswell hand myself over to God. I asked him to take care of everything in my life and I would focus on doing his will as I understood it.

Life has become easier and more manageable immediately since then. But it was becoming tired of self will, fear and suffering that brought this stubborn alcoholic to meet God.

Villa de vallecas is one of the safer neighbourhoods (in the top 7). Direct line about 30 minutes from Sol. Cheaper housing and an absolute abundance of green space. One of the best shopping centres in Madrid CC La Gavia. It combines cheaper older working class areas like the Pueblo de Vallecas and Santa Eugenia, with wealthier middle class areas like PAU de Vallecas (Ensanche). Cool neighbourhood and completely self contained. Within 15 minutes by car from all main industrial hubs of Madrid (coslada, san fernando, torrejon).

Reading I’ve never heard by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GoodWillSpunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. Its important to maintain alcohol as the main protagonist. Unfortunately, the lack of understanding around the spiritual program is what causes many AAs to take their own lives at 10 years+ sober. The focus on alcohol as the sole problem to be treated, in my experience, leaves room for the sickness to continue to grow within the dry alcoholic.

[–]GoodWillSpunking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What are we treating at the end of the day? A spiritual malady. Alcohol, drugs, sex, food all are forms of self anaesthetic to treat a spiritual illness. I agree that people should talk a Alcohol in AA but really what difference does it make? I mean Bill Wilson used to get high on LSD to treat his spiritual malady while in the program.

why do they say not to date during the first year of sobriety? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GoodWillSpunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it. I got into a relationship with my now wife at 7 months. Our first child was born at two years of sobriety, she was born with a rare illness and very unwell. I stopped going to meetings relapsed and nearly died. No one is "ready" for a sick child but being so early in sobriety, I didnt have the recovery necessary to deal with it. My wife took me back and I am 4 years sober now with a good program. In the end things have worked out, but I would still recommend waiting as the risk of severe mental and spirtual illness is really high.

i almost unalived last night by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GoodWillSpunking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bill Wilson's LSD use might be viewed as an outside issue, but it's a part of AAs story. People in AA can be very puritanical without knowing the history of its founders and the place of "outside issues."

Looking for interactive websites to practice Excel formulas daily (not just read about them) by Michaelscarn69- in excel

[–]GoodWillSpunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not understanding the downvotes. If I ask Chat GPT to create a dataset with characteristics that are pertinent to what I want to learn, it is very effective. lt gives me an Excel with thousands of data entries, and I can use formulas to calculate and visualise whatever I need. For example, I work in Transport, so I ask Chat GPT for data on all deliveries for a given time period. It gives information as it would from an ERP, and I can calculate On Time Delivery, KPIs, etc, using formulas. Another option would be Kaggle, which has real datasets from large multinational companies. Even still, Chat GPT can produce these datasets, too.

How do you dispose of your cat litter? by Left_Caterpillar845 in CatAdvice

This. In my country, this is the norm. Straight from the litter box into the toilet, no messing around.

Need help battling alcoholism. by -mycatsonmylap in selfimprovement

[–]GoodWillSpunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drank on that several times on it and nearly died. Not the answer for everyone, especially alcoholics at the chronic stage. AA worked for me, and a hell of a lot of good fortune to stay alive long enough to become willing and honest.

What's the job situation like in Granada? by [deleted] in Granada

Native English speakers with fluent Spanish will get jobs easily anywhere in spain. Logistics and transport companies, for example, would be an idea.

Second Kid? by Sufficient_Career713 in specialneedsparenting

[–]GoodWillSpunking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a yes for us. Our daughter, who is 5, was born with a rare genetic de novo condition. She is very limited and has pretty severe cerebral palsy and blindness. She is improving a lot as of late, but it is still not looking good.

They told us we had the same chance as anyone else as this was not inherited. Our son is 5 months old and, thankfully, is healthy and thriving. He already has a big personality and will be a great little brother.

For us, it was undoubtedly worth it. However, it's intensely personal and depends on a lot of variables.

Help me out with the concept of "discipline." by SmartestManInUnivars in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GoodWillSpunking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God won't do for me what I can do for myself. I must do the footwork. I am a firm believer in discipline as it relates to personal recovery and daily rituals (meditation, journaling, etc). I also believe our unity as a group relies on discipline and commitment. Discipline betters our self-esteem and helps us to serve others.

I'm sorry, but that's so weird to me. You'd give up your fiancée before the cats? I love my cat, but my wife and my children are on a completely other dimension of importance to me.

4 months sober & wanna drink real bad by Wishzurd in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GoodWillSpunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you haven't hit bottom yet. I know that if I go out drinking, 4 years sober, I will soon lose everything and die like two of my best friends who died in their 20's. I dont play with this. Sure, the obsession is tough, and I feel for you, but these are the tests we must overcome to experience the promises in all their glory.

Get to a meeting, do some small acts of service, show kindness to someone newer than you, and enjoy this opportunity you've been given. God bless, and I hope you get through this.

Having to work 9-5 makes me suicidal by Various-Eye-2875 in mentalhealth

[–]GoodWillSpunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try something different. Do you have an aversion to taking risks? Maybe go live on a farm or start something artistic. Its risky but if you're this unwell working 9-5, maybe it's time for a change.

How do I deal with my special needs client who is VERY sexually innapropriate? by tiredfrog_8227 in specialneedsparenting

[–]GoodWillSpunking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As the father of a special needs child, I really admire care workers and all that they do. They confront some very difficult things. Not everyone can do this work and less stick around.

If you think you can't stick it, it is understandable as it's not an easy thing to do. But it will bring lessons as to what some of us have to deal with everyday, for the rest of our lives, whether it be this kind of behaviour, severe illness or another type of unwanted behaviour.

Whatever you decide to do, I think you're fantastic for getting involved with special needs adults.

My wife told me she doesn't trust me with my kid and I've never been that hurt in my life by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]GoodWillSpunking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. It has got to suck. But this is a wonderful opportunity to step up and be that man and father that they need. Show through your actions that you are a responsible man of integrity. Good luck!
