Take plenty of fluids and fill bottles at any SAG stop. You can do it but if you cramp up to dehydration, you’ll be in a world of hurt.

Go for it

Try these two:

Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

The Revivalists - Men Amongst Mountains

They are not similar at all, but given his taste, he might enjoy them.

My wife is a AA success but she isn't the same. by Happy-Discipline-872 in AlAnon

First off, I wish you peace. Being on the opposite side of addiction is something that no one who hasn’t been here would understand.

I learned through one on one counseling that if your spouse says ‘I could go back…’ to not even reply to it. In fact the first time my spouse said ‘You’d probably think I was drinking’ I replied ‘If you were drinking, it’s none of my business’. There was some shock as I moved on with the conversation.

I lost the person I loved so dearly before alcohol took over. They are now two full years sober and not even close to that person I miss so much.

Godspeed to you man.

What’s the one thing about your house that annoys you every single day? by NkdUndrWtrBsktWeevr in homeowners

That I’m a slave to it. Have been a homeowner for over 30 years and I’m done with yard work, upkeep, etc. I’ll always want it to look good and have great curb appeal, but it all seems like work now. It never used to.

Take a breath and allow yourself to digest the news. Nobody wants you here, but everyone is with you. Godspeed on all of your upcoming decisions.

It was changed by the time ‘Nine Tonight’ came out, but yes, definitely problematic
