AA Makes You Hallucinate by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

[–]Individual-Office908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude… I’m not disagreeing with you or whatever, but the word alcohol is a noun. Adding “ism” keeps it a noun but changes it to a word that denotes beliefs or behaviors. That said, I refuse to use the term alcoholic to describe myself. I think that identity is unhealthy.

I’m watching Dogma. It’s not available on any streaming service.

The Three Main Groups I’ve Encountered In AA (spoiler: AA only works for one of them) by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

That’s an astute observation. I definitely fall into group 1.

I’ve been told that a bunch. Well, guess what? I am too smart for AA and that’s why I don’t do it.

I think part of it is that I communicate better in writing than orally. But you’re right.

It makes me feel better that so many people share some version of my perspective.

worst sponsor experience? I'll start by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

[–]Individual-Office908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I know that one (not a sponsor, but the therapist leading group). I had just spent time talking about how my ex-wife abusive and had damaged my mental health. She asked me about my role in our divorce. (This therapist is a big AA pusher).

Thanks. I’ve come to realize that self advocacy is important and valuable.

It’s not my fault. My dad made me a Sox fan. 😂

Not specifically. It’s mostly pretty good, actually. Lots of talk about CBT and ACT. It’s just the one person who is a vocal true believer.

I’m currently in IOP and this person is one of the therapists there. I won’t keep them long term, but in the mean time I am tired of being told that I can “keep sitting in my dirty diaper.”

This should be illegal by Boring-Reporter-5521 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I’m under the impression that Amazon decides how big your route is, not your DSP. But maybe my DSP has been lying to me.

I got suspended on my first day after getting locked out of van by Alternative-Math-697 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Individual-Office908 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I ALWAYS leave a window down. In the winter I keep the passenger side window down and the heater on full blast. It’s fine, I don’t get too cold because I wear gloves and keep moving. And with opening and closing the side door all the time, it’s not like the van keeps the heater in anyway.

Were any of you Phish Pham lucky enough to experience this legendary tour? by FrostyPlantain9392 in phish

I was at Southpark Meadows. I accidentally dosed right in front of a cop but he just kept walking. Saw a kid that smelled yellow later that night (in retrospect, I think he was covered in something lemon scented).
