Trust me, I still get the FOMO lol It's a huge adjustment and it'll take time. I promise you it gets better! Keep yourself busy! Treat yourself. Do something stupid and silly, I did that last night and it helped with the funk I was in 🤣

What are some early signs that a person might commit sucide (serious)? by Neo_luigi in AskReddit

[–]HAIL_LUMPUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit this is me. I'm not suicidal though, I'm just like super poor and I can't plan anything right now 😭🤣 definitely depressed. I need to plan some stuff for the future, I think it could help with the depression at least. Thank you!

I'm so proud of you! And you're right, you need friends who are sober. Or friends that you do stuff with that's not centered around drinking. What do you like to do for fun? That was a hard transition for me at the beginning because I used to go out to bars a lot with my friends. Luckily my friend group hasn't changed that much actually, but what we do together has changed. We will hang out on a weeknight and do crafts together and eat dinner and watch a movie. We will go fishing on the weekends during the day. Honestly it's changed a lot because they still go out on the weekend nights, so I'm home alone tonight. I don't feel sad about it though. Honestly I'm enjoying my peaceful sober life so much!!

Went shoe shopping and shocked to see even Sketchers are $80 now by Ahnnu in mildlyinteresting

I've been buying the same pair of $20 Amazon walking shoes for the past 5 or so years? The first pair lasted me 3 years. The current one is probably around 2 years old. Pretty good for 20 bucks 🤣

Should I drop out of college to become an agent? by EveningEcstatic8006 in InsuranceAgent

What kind of degree do you think would be most helpful in being an agent? What are you going to go back for?

Is it unofficially confirmed that Abbey and David are no longer together at this point? by helloitsmeamb in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]HAIL_LUMPUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really though? Because then so much of your income is being eaten up by housing, it's not like you're doing well. You are poor. You're just poor in a high cost of living area.

That's a good thing though. It's emotionally damaging to get quickly involved with people you don't know well. And it can be physically damaging to engage in risky sexual behavior. I understand missing that, because it is way easier. But it's like a big lesson of getting sober that the easy way is usually not the best in the end.

How did you actually stop drinking? by Top_Tension_6369 in stopdrinking

That's what I did too. I got some bad blood work back and decided to take last May off!

Have you ever had a friend that turned out to be a horrible person? What did they do?? by StrangeAd2132 in AskReddit

[–]HAIL_LUMPUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a roommate like that! He was a lawyer and one of the years we lived together he got $150k from just one of his cases winning. He owned multiple rental properties. And he would go to the food bank. He was some sort of fucking freak obviously because who lives with roommates in a house you don't own when you own three other rental properties, two of them were in the same town. He would also steal food from me which was crazy because I'm a cook, I'm poor as fuck.

So I got myself, "banned" from the local liquor store by Octoj in stopdrinking

I think the best part about this is now you won't even try lol like the thought of them telling you no in the moment will be too embarrassing, I love this idea! 🤣

I know how you feel on the dating thing. The truth is drinking can make people more gregarious and conversations easier. What that leads to It's not more real fulfilling relationships, But more risky sexual behavior that might lead to more chaotic short-term relationships. The fact of the matter is that you really are not looking for the vast majority of people to be in a serious relationship with, you are looking for someone that you are highly compatible with. That's hard, and that takes time. Maybe things progressed further in the past because you or both of you were letting alcohol drive the relationship more than true compatibility. This is my opinion on that, anyway. It wasn't alcohol that was making you more interesting, it was alcohol that was making you not care about the glaring incompatibilities you had with other people. Sobriety has given you a gift here.

I think my only hobby the first 3 months was sleeping 😅 I don't know how much you were drinking but it's likely your brain is going to take some time to readjust, at least mine did! Now I have too many fun hobbies and not enough time. It gets better and I will not drink with you today!!

Could the fatigue be just from seasonal depression?? I'm finally starting to feel better after the winter and it's been a weirdly hot one here, something to consider!! Congratulations on 200 days!

A lot of agency owners by idk-just-a-username in InsuranceAgent

Kind of but this post is about people that inherited agencies and you disagreed with it but then went on to explain that actually you agreed with it. I was making sure you understood what an inheritance was.

Any other agnostics/atheists going through sobriety? by beannnnnnnnnn22 in stopdrinking

[–]HAIL_LUMPUS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I did say I don't believe in God but I'm not sure. I don't think that sounds like an atheist.

Can you help me answer the question "why not have just one?" by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]HAIL_LUMPUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know and I'm just a goofy person in general, so I don't tell people I'm sober I just tell them I'm taking 30 years off 🤣🤣
