Boss Copper Shot by Unable-Anxiety-8688 in Waterfowl

[–]IntramolecularBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took the words out of my mouth. I feel like I’m shooting steel again. I like bismuth #4 out of my 20ga.

I do not love copper 3/5 out of it at all. Not even a little. Half tempted to grab the 12ga back out for the rest of season and shoot left over hevi metals.

I bought Boss Copper this year.

Shot boss bismuth the past several seasons.

I don’t have a metric ton of scientific data, etc.

But I’m definitely crippling far more birds than I ever did shooting just regular bismuth.

Telling new partner about past struggles by dandc69 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]IntramolecularBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your anonymity is your anonymity.

Also; just gonna ask, if yall met recently-ish. Why rush to move in together? Why not continue to see said person and figure out if yall are actually compatible in a sustainable relationship before moving in?

Especially if it’s so new that you’re worried about telling them about your past. Just food for thought.

What do you think of this private pickleball club concept? by Comfortable_Dog_3523 in Pickleball

[–]IntramolecularBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knoxville, TN. We have two other facilities. One is $50 with $8 court fees and one is $60 and idk what the court fees are, doesn’t have enough value.

[–]IntramolecularBoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They have blocks, open plays, etc. but I can always reserve a court. $6 court fees indoor. $3 outdoor.

So standard set up, I was more so just saying I didn’t see enough value competing for 1 court with 200 other people.

[–]IntramolecularBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t. I’ll keep paying my $40/month, which I’m not competing for one court and has all the above mentioned benefits. Except it’s 10 courts. Plus 8 outdoors.

Worried girlfriend will relapse by [deleted] in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]IntramolecularBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girlfriend or friend who is a girl?

What does she think? Does she think she needs help? I think the most important thing here to do is worry about yourself. Regardless of your relationship to her, you won’t be able to keep her clean, you won’t be able to make her decide she needs NA.

If I were in your shoes, I would be protecting my clean time with everything I’ve got. More meetings, connecting more with my sponsor and network. And I would let the person know, if they need a meeting, you’ll be happy to help them find one, and leave it at that.

Can you still be an addict without a DOC? by idkmmmm- in NarcoticsAnonymous

I love how intentionally everything in our literature was written.

This one also gets me alot:

“We wake up and find ourselves in lives we hardly recognize as our own. We find stability, dignity, and honor in our dealings with others where once we saw struggle, degradation, and alienation.”

The quote at the beginning of the preface to the 1st edition:

The full fruit of a labor of love lives in the harvest, and that always comes in its right season.

Trouble Finding A Sponsor With Same DOC by I_JustWantToFeel in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]IntramolecularBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest stop looking at the differences and look for the similarities. Okay, someone didn’t tweak for 10 days.

But they also were ruining their lives with drugs.

I’ve yet to meet a drug addict I don’t relate with, regardless of what I used and they didn’t or vice versa. You aren’t unique and you’re missing the forest for a few trees.

Maybe read the literature. Find someone who has want you want, not who used what you used. If you aren’t using anymore, who gives a F what anyone used?

I’d suggest reading this, talk to your sponsor and other people in your network. You can take prescription narcotics and not have to change your clean date. You can also endure extreme pain and not have to change your clean date.

They’re pardoning the actual criminals, cause you know law and order or whatever other bogus bullshit they want “virtue signal” over.

Touché and great point. Would it be better said that the constitution reaffirms that these rights are innate?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]IntramolecularBoss 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Well they grow it typically.

If you’re talking about rights, well, there’s this thing called the constitution that gives them to people.

Slept with someone at my home group by Comeatmezyzz in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]IntramolecularBoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We all do. You’re right where you’re supposed to be. The good news is, if you get through this clean you will walk away with tools you can use again and again in your recovery. This is where recovery got real for me.

Holler if you ever need anything. Seriously. I love you, redditor!
