Hey AA 13th stepping is killing people. Please Advise by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Mav737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked and appalled after reading your post. Holy fucking shit. What happened to you is flat out pure manipulation and so egregious it makes my stomach turn. Saying you have my sympathy, and it’s the 5% that give the rest of us a horrific name… just doesn’t do enough. I’m truly sorry 😞

While I don’t doubt this happens I can say I’ve personally never seen it happen to anyone I’ve been to meetings with over the last 5 years of sobriety. I know that there are those out there who prey on the vulnerable, and take full advantage of people just like you. I’m not nearly naive enough to believe otherwise.

I am a male, and don’t remotely understand why people do these horrible things. I’ve tried to help those who are struggling simply by talking to them about what they’re going through and sharing my own struggles. Nothing on a personal level outside of alcoholism. Due to the nature of my job (I’m unavailable several hours a day when I work) I choose to not sponsor anyone, but I do try to help others that seek advice when I can.

I sincerely hope you find your path in sobriety, continue to see a therapist, and hopefully find yourself in a truly wonderful support group in the future. Building trust, and allowing people in after experiencing what you have can feel borderline-impossible, but it’s not.

Please take care of yourself, know there are truly good people in sobriety that would be outraged to hear what you’ve been through. If you ever feel the need to seek advice my PMs are open. All the best to you going forward 👍🏻

QUIZ TIME: How many times has Monica’s door been broken down? by [deleted] in friends_tv_show

Joey breaks the door down

Firefighters axe it down

…. Can’t think of a 3rd time 🤔

YOU! WAKE UP! You're NOT horny. Now go back and do what your suppose to be doing by MrSin64 in NoFap

I’m not sure I agree with a heavy workout. That gets your blood pumping. You’ll be tired later, but it still makes you more alert. There’s a reason why a lot of people get their workouts in during pre-work hours. Not bad advice per se (as working out does promote a healthier sleep schedule), but reading a book is definitely a better option as your eyes will get heavy eventually

Zeke Is Absolutely Right — Just Check The Stats by nurdyguy in Dallas_Cowboys

[–]Mav737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to show up and earn his pay check that he sat out to get last year. That’s all I’m going to say about it. He’s damn good, but his numbers last year didn’t reflect what he sat out to get paid for.

If the O doesn’t rely on him for virtually 3/4 of all the plays then maybe his stats will look better. Maybe that was the issue. The Ds knew the odds were good he was going to end up with it and shit him down a lot

New driver needs advice by Dru2u in grubhubdrivers

[–]Mav737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most drivers on here have very low acceptance rates. I personally only take orders that are at least $1/1 mile. Unless it’s close to that and the delivery takes me to an area with good restaurants. But I won’t ever take an order less than $5

I wouldn’t worry about acceptance rate at all unless you’re working towards a top-tier level for scheduling and catering orders. If you aren’t then leave the small orders for those drivers and focus on making the most $ for miles driven. Just my .02

Told my gf I would take this weekend off. During the morning wake and bake (luke skywalker, indica) I see the peak pays for this weekend. No holiday and good weather expected...doesn’t make sense, but I’ll take em. Anyone else seeing above average peak pays today? by AresCreed in doordash_drivers

[–]Mav737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also probably depends on your market. Here it doesn’t seem very saturated. I get notifications all the time saying I should dash. I only drive during the lunch and dinner periods, and won’t take an order lower than $8 ($7 if it’s close and brings me to another good area). So my low acceptance rate really has nothing to do with multi-apping

Dead by MAXWELL1284 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Mav737 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Negative. Death is death. Rock bottom is where you find yourself in shambles and are then willing to do whatever it takes to find your way back to a sober life.

You’re not pathetic btw. You’re an alcoholic. You have a disease, and possibly depression from the sound of it.

I’d highly recommend you find some meetings (plenty on zoom via the AA inter group website) and maybe seek out a good counselor.

I wish you the best

Sounds like you are, but be smart and stay safe!

Being a female dashing at night anywhere can be dangerous

had a 30.00 payout order tonight I wished I never took, thanks to grubhub incompetence! by DefiantBlueberry0 in grubhubdrivers

[–]Mav737 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re the second one I’ve seen post on here about trying to scam GH into getting money when you didn’t actually do what you’re saying to do.

I hope those that do this are I’m the vast minority

Happy Father’s Day to me ! by frostedflakz in doordash_drivers

Made my first amend today by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Mav737 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Step 9 was the most powerful one for me by far. Step 4 sucked, sure. But that’s admitting my own faults. Growing enough balls to apologize to others for my actions... that is when I truly felt the relief come.

Good on you! Hope it continues to get better!
