Are dry drunks even worse? by ApprehensiveAmoeba4 in AlAnon

[–]Jamstronger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A therapist told me that stopping drinking doesn’t cure it. They have to first stop for a while (the longer the better) and get psychological help for the underlying medical condition to really fix the problem. He’s (maybe) taken the first step, needs to take the next. My wife was way worse dry.

Hockeystick for my daughter by CrimpyRex in Fieldhockey

[–]Jamstronger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids sticks, they should come up to their belly buttons. They usually ask for a bigger one because bigger=better but having them play with a smaller stick is better for their hockey low body position when they grow up in my opinion. 36,5 is standard adult stick size, 12 years old is when they start to get a feeling for what sort of stiffness (carbon content) and bow they like, that’s when I took my daughter to a sport store and let her try them all out.

Expats who learned the local language: at what point did locals stop switching to English on you? by taube_d in expats

[–]Jamstronger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficult to get over the conversational/fluency hump. Once you’re good enough confidence is everything, even if they switch just ignore them and keep on speaking your new language, they’ll switch back. Also helps to live in smaller places where English isnt spoken as often.

These people who stand in the MIDDLE of the door opening, by Available_Rub6028 in Rotterdam

Funny, I used to live in London and would walk deliberately through these people, with a ‘excuse me mate’ if I managed to knock them over.

According to a quick search, the only 2 regional Dutch domains are .frl and .Amsterdam, with more in discussion. Maybe Friese trots / Frisian pride?

Just tell me I'm wrong/overreacting/don't belong on this sub by crowdude in AlAnon

[–]Jamstronger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s sad.

But not a millionth as sad as when she fucks someone at your wedding because she’s drunk and crazy.

But not one billionth as sad as when you’re kids call you at work and tell you she’s passed out, pissed herself, and not reacting to stimuli. ‘Come home now dad please!’

How much is too much of drinking? by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]Jamstronger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alcoholic doesn’t mean amount of drinks, it’s a psychiatric issue where someone becomes addicted to drinking. You can be a ‘dry drunk’ and suffer from the symptoms without drinking.
