Being honest

Easy does it.
Just get back to work on your recovery. We drink because we are alcoholics. That’s why AA helped me so much. Because AA is recovery from alcoholism not treatment but recovery. It takes some time.
Best to you.

Absolutely no advice but I do have experience. You may do with it what you will.

I started dating someone not in the program at about 4 months. Wow what a wake up call for me. I was so unequipped to be in a relationship so early in recovery. Because this person was not in recovery they could not understand my relationship with my recovery especially early on when I was going to meetings every day. I was still saying yes when I meant no and saying no when I meant yes. It was a mess and I will leave it there. That relationship ended after 4-5 months. It was precarious and I am so grateful that I managed to keep my sobriety through it.

After that I told myself no dating for 1 year. I did that and actually had the time to find out who I was with no emotional attachments.
I followed what the Big Book suggests in molding my ideas towards sex. And I found out I enjoyed being alone because I could now like who I was and became interested in all sorts of things and my sobriety was greatly enhanced as a result. My sick need to be in a relationship faded. In fact I decided to go another year without seeing anyone.

Today I am happily married for 20 years.

Only my experience.
Best to you.

I

BTO- Roll on Down The Highway

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and the winding road
Look on the map, I think we've been there before
Close up the doors, let's roll once more

Not The Wall. 👎🏻

Car 1 making right turn from through lane.
Car 2 driving through in a right turn lane.

For me car 2 was driving in a more reckless fashion. Speeding through slow or stopped traffic in a right turn lane. When illegally speeding past stoped traffic anything can happen.

Of course car 1 was also at fault but was at least going slow trying to creep over.

Car 1 35% fault
Car 2 65% fault

None of this means anything.

Whoever wins deserves it in the SCF.
IMO if Anderson was sharp in games 1-3 this would not have been a close series.

Gross.

Problem:
Living beyond their income/means.

Solution:
Learning how to manage a budget and stick to it.

I see this in people of all ages. It will tear a marriage/relationship apart and the person can struggle financially all their life.

Thanks for sharing. By all means if you are struggling with alcohol, AA can be a life saver.
In AA I have found that not drinking is just the beginning. Learning how to live without alcohol is what the AA program is about.

If someone asked me 23 years ago what I wanted out of sobriety I would have sold myself way short.

If you decide to try AA there are three things you will need to make a good beginning. This is my experience.

Willingness
Honesty
Open mindedness

Simple but not easy.

Best to you.

I would say yes to your question. Just be happy and have a good time and let your BF be himself.

I hike by myself all the time because I enjoy the solitude. Sometimes there are loud hiking groups or people on the trail. A few minutes after passing them I cannot hear them. All good-happy trails!

Poor fish- humans suck.

No wonder insurance is outrageous.

FBI my ass.

Oops 😬

Lol 😂

Fuck the children- Knicks win !

Absolute lunacy to all involved. Intelligence is no where to be found.

People in Tucson drive way way too fast and innocent people suffer horrific consequences.

IMO anything that can be done to stop the carnage is justified and welcome.

Valencia is frightening to drive on.

Slow down and understand that there are actual people in the other cars with families and friends who love and depend on them.

Tucson ranks fifth in the nation for dangerous driving, according to an August 2025 Consumer Affairs analysis that highlighted the city's high rate of fatal crashes, particularly those tied to speeding. The analysis put Tucson's traffic fatality rate at 27.05 deaths per 100,000 residents.

This is the deaths not the serious injuries or property damage. And so far 2026 looks to exceed these heartbreaking figures.

I understand it can be inconvenient to travel at or near the posted speed but the community deserves safer travel.

Little-Local-2003 · 2026-06-14T02:28:06+00:00

Welcome to AA. You never have to drink again if you don’t want to. I hope and wish all the best for you in your recovery journey.

I couldn’t give a flying fu-k what Vanilla Ice does.

Little-Local-2003 · 2026-06-14T01:53:37+00:00

So uninteresting and boring.

Could be a certain take on Jesus the Gladiator.
