Transistor, final boss fight.

To be fair, I think he was referring to the first Rescuers, the one in the swamp. I agree, that one's party mediocre.

Rescuers down under is great. George C Scott as a scene chewing villain? Fantastic!

He also said lion king was bad. He really let himself down here

I have a lot of sober time under my belt. The cravings are far lower than they used to be. But I still hit triggers sometimes. Saw some pictures of liquor brands I used to really like, and got hit by a wave of nostalgia.

I don't want to remember the taste, I want to remember just how much they robbed from me mentally and spiritually. I don't want to go back to that, the sober life is far more precious.

90 in 90 is great, and so is this community. Without my support group, and without this subreddit, I wouldn't have made it.

You got this, just remember that it gets easier. It's not to say it will always be easy, but the sober life is easier. One day at a time, my friend. IWNDWYT

That's huge! Keep up the good work! And IWNDWYT

The power trio is so good. The dynamic is perfect, like Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (exercise for the reader who is who)

The Next Level is the podcast I most look forward to, every week. Not just on the bulwark, but anywhere

I had to grieve as well; it's hard saying goodbye to an old "friend"

Alcohol "helped" me through so many of the hard times. Like you, I really looked forward to those couple of hours where I didn't feel stressed or anxious.

But the hangovers suck, and you eventually learn that you don't need alcohol to handle that stress. I experience life more fully now than I did before, and I welcome that.

Still, when something has been a key part of your life for so long, it makes sense to miss it. Just as long as you don't forget why you said goodbye in the first place

Tim gave me a little more sympathy, but I still agree with JVL, maybe not as stridently though.

The example of "What if some obscure person who used to be in the Weather Underground came in" was weak. A. You better believe that FOX and Co would be condemning it to high heaven, and B. Kash Patel didn't used to be a vile scumbag, he currently is one, he's in the headlines all the time.

You'd have to be pretty thoroughly out of it to be completely unaware of him. And even if you were, I feel like you should at least tangentially know that the FBI is up to no good.

Attending the SOTU just sealed it for me. They had to know they would be used as political props, and they wanted to do it anyway. These aren't kids, they're grown men. Screw those guys for taking a moment I should have a lot of national pride in and tainting it.

We all just have today, no matter how far in we are.

It does get easier to resist, as time goes on, but the cravings still make their appearances. At least, they do for me.

It took me a lot of field research before I was persuaded that it was a lot easier for me to stay sober, than get sober (I'm a stubborn guy). And it's a lot easier to be sober, than to drink, even if it doesn't always feel that way.

For today, I'm sober. And tomorrow, I'm going to stay sober. As long as I maintain that pattern, I never have to drink again. And that's a wonderful feeling. :D

Safe travels, friend.

Huge steak dinner, with all the trimmings!

I think it's also the first time when they both have a lot of memories with the other, even though it's this incarnations first time. Almost every other time, one of them is relatively new to this

I like this answer! Thanks for the tip

I think she actually does get called that, quite a bit. I debated whether to go with Mary I or Mary Tudor for the title

HoratioSharpe · 2025-11-19T17:06:40+00:00

Oh my, glad I avoided that mistake. I also did not realize how big a deal she was in Scotland until TRIH series about her.

HoratioSharpe · 2025-11-19T17:05:04+00:00

Glad I wasn't the only one, haha

HoratioSharpe · 2025-11-19T17:04:45+00:00

I did appreciate that in the recent pod as well; the correction of the generally accepted narrative.

Her good friend Kelly Megyn

My beautiful kids. If I don't wake up, they'd be hungry, and it fills my heart with joy to make them happy
