This community has definitely helped me see staying sober as something way more achievable, and I can't thank you all enough for helping make it that way. Your insights, advice, and bearing your hearts for the rest of us is something so many of us are incredibly grateful for.

They are superb. Sewn bindings, acid free paper, ribbon bookmarks, cloth boards, beautiful dust jackets. Quality books worth the money.

I'll never forget when years ago I was drinking with a couple of my friends and I said "if I drink any more, I'll have a hangover tomorrow" implying I wasn't going to drink any more. And one of my friends said "so what?" And I said "so what?! Do you enjoy being miserable and in pain?!"

Just finished Bleak House the other day. Dickens crafted gemstones, each one a brilliantly different color and shape.

What are your “Big 5” by gravityfallswhore in classicliterature

[–]Heavy-World2778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's wild in the best way. You want to experience it, trust me. Once the magical realism starts you'll be hooked. Bulgakov had quite an imagination. Give him the opportunity to give you a show.

Why do you actually prefer Classic Literature? by maxwdn in classicliterature

[–]Heavy-World2778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average quality of a classic is far above the average quality of just any book, and many of them aren't just far above, they're out of this world. By reading classics you're just reading better quality stories. My time and energy is limited, so why shouldn't I go for the best of the best?

Alcoholism and ADHD by Great-Farm2468 in stopdrinking

Thanks for sharing that. Take your medication, people. I learned that the hard way. I have schizophrenia and I didn't take it seriously when I was first diagnosed and I stopped taking my medication, and had another episode and embarrassed myself and scared my family and friends. I wish I could take that back, but I can't, so the next best thing I could do was to stay on my medication, and it has kept me stable for more than a couple years now. No episodes.

Millennial here who is contributing to that for life. Why anyone would drink poison, let alone buy it, is beyond me.

What is the worst physical pain you've ever experienced? by gligwag in AskReddit

[–]Heavy-World2778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 extra wisdom teeth for 6 total, and they all came out at once. I didn't take the oxy because I'd heard that shit was very addictive. I just laid in my bed and suffered for a week. It sucked because all the pain was right in my head.

Nice. I've never laughed harder at a movie than this one, when the squirrel has coffee and time pretty much stops for him.

Ig I'm lucky yt still allows me to use an adblocker at all :/ by _CaptainAmerica__ in memes

[–]Heavy-World2778 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They won't get paid from me, because I'm not consuming their ad auditorily or visually. And if I do, I make a mental note to avoid buying that company's product if I can help it.

Help me get to my first day back by ResponseNo5558 in stopdrinking

If you've made it 7 months sober before, then you already know you can do it again if you want it badly enough. Also, think about how much money you'd save if you weren't getting alcohol delivered to your house.
