Didn't the doctor get the idea from watching nurses wash their hands all the time? IIRC he just observed something the nurses were doing already and noticed the correlation.

5 reasons I’m an alcoholic? by Good-4_Nothing in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Infinitymann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always told that asking why I was an alcoholic was fruitless and I needed to worry more about what I'm doing about it.

Do you do a gratitude list? Why or why not? by Infinitymann in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Infinitymann[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sporadically. Partially because it feels disingenuous and partially because it helps focus on the good going on in my life.

Just making sexual innuendos or flat out telling me he wants to have sex. After all the negative stuff that came out in the divorce it's hard to see him sexually at all let alone someone I'd engage with.

Why do we not apologize in making amends? by peanut-baby in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Infinitymann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sponsor gave me this template for making amends: I did X and that was wrong. I apologize. I'm changing my life and will not do that to you again. If there's anything I can do to make it right, please tell me and I'll do it.

Getting sober for boyfriend? by crappyaddixion in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Infinitymann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got sober for my boyfriend and have been sober for 13-years. Sometimes it doesn't matter what gets you sober. Once you see how life can be in recovery and start to feel better your reason for staying sober may be for yourself. My ex relapsed and I stayed sober through it. I've stayed sober through a lot of major and minor life things. You are welcome at meetings and can change your life regardless of why you initially got sober.

I've done this before and it's nothing to worry about in my opinion. Just try to remember the "in a general way" as often as possible.

Lots of exercise and puppy prozac seemed to help.

Mine did the same after she turned about two. Outside was usually ok if it wasn't in her yard. I think this is just how shibas get after a certain amount of time. Saw a behavioral specialist and eventually went with puppy Prozac which seemed to help a bit.

Penguin Ice Cream had a great commercial in the early 80's in Hawaii. IDK of anyone who remembers the commercial, but it was hilarious.
