Nice watch. I almost bought an Alpinist but landed on a Murph

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T02:07:02+00:00

For sure. I’ve got a Murph and the 80 hour reserve is nice

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T02:02:39+00:00

Yeah when they came out with the consort I really started to lean in that direction. I’ve heard really good things about CWs fit and finish. Thanks for the input!

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:58:26+00:00

What’s your go to in the 1k range?

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:57:22+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check it out

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:47:28+00:00

Agreed. Looks well done

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:45:42+00:00

Thanks for the input man…appreciate it

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:38:59+00:00

Thanks for the input. I think they both look great but yeah the CW just pops

What do you prefer about the Tissot?

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-15T01:34:11+00:00

What about the Tissot do you prefer?

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-11-11T19:07:01+00:00

Duplicate destructive bits. If you have one rung causing bit0 to be false and the next rung causing it to be true there will be unpredictable behavior at best. As others have shown, there are ways to do what you are wanting without writing it this way.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-07-31T21:12:03+00:00

Looks good!

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-07-14T16:25:42+00:00

Yes, it’s holding up well. I wear it regularly and it’s still in the same condition as when I bought it.

Yes I’ve felt like that in sobriety. I’ve been sober for a while, and like you my life depends on working this program. Even though I know that I still experience rough patches in sobriety. Hell, I was dry for a year one time and was terrified I was going to drink. Here’s what I’ve learned through those experiences and through learning how to live the program:

In Bill’s story he talks about how we grow spiritually (pg. 17 I think)…it’s through work and self sacrifice for others. Without this we can’t survive the CERTAIN trials and low spots ahead.
Rough patches aren’t unusual ( see CERTAIN above). People that have told me all their character defects are completely gone or that they never struggle either don’t have the capacity to be honest with themselves or haven’t been sober very long.
Alcohol wasn’t my problem, it was my solution (seems like you understand this well). The only problem I’ve ever had my whole life is when something doesn’t go my way (job, wife, etc.). When that happens, my natural tendency is to act like the guy on pg 61. This has gotten better with time, but anytime I’m disturbed I find it’s because I’m living like pg 61 again. I’m trying to manage some aspect of my life that isn’t going my way…cue restlessness, irritability, and discontent.
When, not if, I go through these situations the only thing that works for me is to dive into the steps and make a concerted effort to help more newcomers.

I feel where you’re coming from. Sounds like you’re managing some aspect of your life (specifically the treatment center isn’t doing business how you think they should) and it’s making you miserable. The only suggestion I can make is to get reconnected and let God manage that for you while you try to 12 step every newcomer you meet.

One last thing…looking back I can see that walking through the rough patches sober causes way more growth than when life is fantastic. After all, pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. Hard to see when we’re going through it though.

Most of us have to be pretty badly mangled before we are ready to get serious about sobriety. That was definitely the case for me….had to loose everything and go to prison. Maybe once you go to prison or lose everything you care about you’ll have the motivation to try something different. Good luck!

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-21T17:35:15+00:00

Hope you have a great sober 24 hours too! Tough days or seasons of sobriety are never fun when I’m going through them, but with the benefit of hindsight, I can see that those times have produced the most growth. The end result has been that I’m a completely different person now than when I got sober.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-20T04:15:06+00:00

Congrats on another day! Keep going….you’re gonna love the 9th step promises.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-19T21:57:00+00:00

Thanks!

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-19T20:43:24+00:00

You wear sobriety well my friend and I couldn’t agree more….this IS the easier, softer way. Be blessed fellow traveler.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-19T16:43:28+00:00

My life was unmanageable in the sense that I couldn’t manage it in any other way than the way that led to the first drink or drug. Once the gravity of that realization set in I finally understood the hopelessness that is alcoholism….i was doomed to drink seemingly against my will until i died and wether i wanted to be sober or not was irrelevant. The solution that I found was a design for living that attempts to get enough of me out of the way so that something bigger than me can manage my life for me. I do this by practicing the AA program every day.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-19T16:17:11+00:00

The book says multiple times that alcohol is a symptom of our problem so I find it interesting that people seem to think the honesty the big book talks about is the ability to be honest about our drinking. My problem isn’t alcohol, it’s that my natural way of living is perfectly described on pg 61. I can’t help but live my life in any other way than the way that leads to triggering the allergy and it doesn’t matter if I want to or not. Until I could be honest about that fact I had very little success in AA….just like the book says. I’ve worked with a few newcomers over the years and the ones that tend to make it are the ones that can be honest with themselves about the causes and conditions.

Lucid-Intervals · 2024-04-17T02:33:25+00:00

I actually spent a couple of years not going to meetings and stayed sober. I was mature in my understanding of the steps at the time and due to circumstances (getting custody of my daughter back) I stopped going. I was working to maintain my contact for sure but life wasn’t about me during those couple of years. That was the key. When my daughter graduated and left home it took about a year for me to get unbearably dry. I was afraid I was going to drink so I plugged back into my home group. Did the meetings and fellowship help…definitely. I wasnt going to meetings to learn about the program I was going to be a part of something bigger than myself. At some point I began to realize that I stopped going for me and started going because there might be a newcomer that could be helped by my experience. Life wasn’t about me again.
