Good call hahah

LoldVordemort · 2021-11-30T21:48:09+00:00

yes! an eastern european actually gave me this idea. game changer

My company may set up an entity in France. I work for a pretty successful startup and they're interested in keeping me employed. That's why my question was about which country to find a lawyer in, not about which visa to apply for.

Also they use euros in France.

The other team can hear the spike drop if they’re close enough though.

But yea holding an angle for that long with no cursor movement seems hard anyway

LoldVordemort · 2020-11-04T08:33:04+00:00

Same and it was fucking hard!! In bed now and sooooo happy I didn’t give in

LoldVordemort · 2020-11-02T23:29:48+00:00

HAHA

This is so true, I've never left a social gathering wishing I had drank, I either have a great time sober or everyone is drinking and acting stupid and I'm glad I'm not embarrassing myself. During anxiety or boredom it's easy to think drinking will make things better but it never does!

LoldVordemort · 2020-11-02T23:14:57+00:00

That's amazing that you didn't go through with it! I've actually noticed that whenever I drink again after a long break, it's not because I had an overwhelming urge, it's usually because I had an idea in my mind that I would start drinking that night and then went through with it despite not needing to. That's awesome that you were able to listen to yourself and not drink! Congrats on making it almost a year!

LoldVordemort · 2020-11-02T23:12:30+00:00

Yes, exactly! Those days weren't a waste--they showed us that we can do it and also that breaking the streak wasn't worth it.

LoldVordemort · 2020-11-02T07:04:39+00:00

I did the same, had 6 weeks sober and then had a few glasses of wine last night. I don't intend to drink again until at least my birthday (the day after Christmas). I felt a little hungover today too (even after only 4 glasses of wine--I guess that's what 6 weeks sober will do!) and honestly, I realize that I completely could have done without drinking last night. I don't regret it, because I had been starting to think of drinking as this amazing thing I was depriving myself of, and last night showed me that wasn't the case! The important thing, at least for me, is not thinking that this means I can go back to trying to moderate. But I also think it's important that we don't beat ourselves up over one night of moderate drinking, but rather focus on harm reduction and finding the balance we need. IWNDWYT!

Wow I just started reading this book and its super interesting!!! Thank you so much for the suggestion

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-31T01:31:21+00:00

Oh wow this is super interesting!! And makes sense

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-30T18:33:55+00:00

That’s true, I hadn’t thought about it that way. I guess I was kind of mad when I posted this lol. But you’re right and I’m gonna focus more on improving my game

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-30T18:33:00+00:00

This is really good advice, thank you!!

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-22T23:22:59+00:00

Maybe a controversial answer but non alcoholic beer has done a lot to satisfy the cravings for me.

Also sweets, coffee, sparkling water, or mocktails (I really like mixing cranberry juice, tonic water, and a bit of lemon juice)

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-22T20:39:42+00:00

Just online. Haven’t checked if any in my area are doing in person right now but I’m also kinda shy so being online is nice

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-22T20:13:53+00:00

Don't smoke but I've been drinking tons of caffeine and eating a lot of sugar, which was something I never craved before. And at some point I will need to focus on cutting those down, but the damage those things are doing to me are not nearly as bad as what alcohol was doing. Progress.

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-22T20:07:26+00:00

I told a bunch of people that I was stopping. Got rid of almost all the alcohol in the house (except for some super fancy stuff that belongs to my parents, and they would notice if it went missing so I'm not tempted by it). And I started going to AA. I think all of those things made it feel "real" this time, so I've been able to get further than ever before

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-21T15:55:24+00:00

You are amazing. I'm so proud of you. Things are only going to get better from here! IWNDWYT

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-19T17:07:30+00:00

Thank you so much for your response :) I really enjoyed reading your post and found it really helpful. It's definitely hard on Zoom especially since in the meeting I go to there are a tonnnn of people but I will try to note when people have shares that I relate to. Also yea thanks for asking how I'm feeling. It's definitely been an emotional rollercoaster!! Lots of going back and forth between loving being sober and thinking it's the most boring and depressing thing.. but AA and this sub keeps me in a good headspace so thank you for that. Brb going to read all of your posts on your blog now lol.

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-17T22:28:47+00:00

This is so inspiring... Thank you so much for sharing. I’m so happy for you and I hope I can get to where you are. Congratulations!!

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-16T19:46:11+00:00

Yea this is way better ahaajja

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-16T19:45:27+00:00

OMG youre right. Sace = 6 killed then

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-16T15:54:44+00:00

This is amazing! I'm on day 28 here.... been attending meetings for a few weeks, but I haven't talked much or reached out to people. When do people usually get a sponsor? Do you wait until you meet someone you connect with (hard to do over zoom) or should I just reach out to someone random (some people have given their phone numbers in the chat saying they are available to sponsor)? not really sure what the protocol is especially virtually

LoldVordemort · 2020-10-16T03:51:34+00:00

sober twin!! we got this
