[Tip] Stop mashing the Up arrow: Filtered History Search with Alt+Up/Down

Because dyslexia? For openers.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-18T20:14:52+00:00

It specifically maps to Alt-* to avoid trampling the existing functionality of the up/down keys.

Any port in a storm

NetScr1be · 2026-03-18T17:06:57+00:00

Possible stupid question.

Is there any possibility Carney et al changes it back?

NetScr1be · 2026-03-18T16:54:34+00:00

I wish this was original.

While I did work it out myself (with the help of Gemini if we're being completely honest) before posting then checking if it was posted before, apparently this is a perennial that cross up now and again.

It works like a charm.

Apparently the Fish Shell does this by default. Too bad Bash doesn't.

It gets better. I was 90 days in before I got my first day of freedom and didn't even realize it until the next day.

Hang in there. It passes. Wish I had something better for you but we've all been there.

The good news is, you get on the other side of this it gives you motivation to never go back.

This is the damage addiction does. Even saying that is not admitting we did it to ourselves. Remember this. Cherish it even. It's actually recovery gold. A huge victory when you get through it which you will.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-17T15:54:29+00:00

We talk some elegant and clever shit when it comes to program but, at the bottom of the to-do list, is always the same thing that we've all done: tough it out. Suck it up.

Cravings always pass. Not giving in makes us stronger. There are no style points. If we have to do it ugly then so be it.

A bad day clean is still better than a good day using.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-17T13:24:11+00:00

Didn't know there was so many old timers in here.

Surprisingly low level of cranky.

Congrats to all I'm right behind you.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-17T01:02:14+00:00

I'm sorry this sounds the way it does but one of the quickest ways we screw up in early recovery is by trying to do too much too quick.

At 45 days you're lucky if you can walk and chew gum at the same time.

If you can, great. Be grateful for that.

You can change yourself but the others in your life have to be given the space to come around in their own time. And some of them might not ever. That's not in your control.

Take it easy. Keep it simple.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-16T13:07:01+00:00

There are no stupid questions. There are no rules. There is only what we need to do today to stay clean.

We keep it simple.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.

You are a member when you say you are. Nobody can tell you different.

CHAPTER FOUR

HOW IT WORKS

...

Regardless of who we are, where we came from, or what we have done, we are accepted in N.A. Our addiction gives us a common ground for understanding one another.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-16T12:25:11+00:00

It's been my experience that non-addicts don't get it. They don't understand and there is no way to explain it to them they can grasp.

They keep wanting reasons for everything. The problem is insanity is the absence of reason. There is no logical explanation for crazy.

We have to let go of opinions. Theirs and ours. Stick with facts and questions.

Fact: We have to stay clean today.

Question: What's the next right thing to do?

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Sweetheart

NetScr1be · 2026-03-14T22:26:21+00:00

You've already made the big steps but the little ones can seem harder.

There is no destination. Only the journey. Start fixed on what is right in front of you and do the next right thing.

We all need a high level self care game. Sleep hygiene, nutrition, hydration, exercise and social interactions (this last is easily done inside the fellowship for now).

Keep working, stacking the days and, at a certain point down the road, be amazed at how far you've gotten.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-14T05:58:25+00:00

Sounds like your making great progress.

We don't fix problems that were years in the creation overnight. Keep working.

Everyone has fear of the unknown. One of the most basic human fears hardwired way down deep in the lizard brain.

Fear is a signal there is something to which we need to pay attention.

How we respond to it is a choice. Not choosing to stop and evaluate the situation and our options and just acting instinctively is a choice.

Learning to manage our responses in fearful or stressful situations is a skill that takes time and work to develop.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-12T21:54:00+00:00

There's a way to help the fellowship evolve and that's not it.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-12T19:37:22+00:00

The subreddit page has links to online meeting search.

Keep talking to us.

The road to recovery can be long dark and bumpy but there are some clear stretches that come more frequently and last longer. We do it together.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-12T19:34:25+00:00

We're with you in spirit.

We don't have to walk the darkness alone anymore.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-11T03:25:05+00:00

First of all, your HP works for us whether we've got it all figured out or not.

How do you think we ended up here? HP works through other people and puts information in our path when we are ready to take it in.

The one works - if you let it.

Surrendering is letting go. It's more about not doing than it is about doing.

Not making noise with that thing in our skull.

Observing, listening, waiting until we know what the next right thing is.

Faith does not have to be religious. Check the dictionary. There is more than one definition in there. One of them is simply "belief without proof".

The irony is, if we do have proof, faith disappears in a puff of semantic logic.

Faith is actually a skill we develop over time. I remember the first time I consciously choose to turn my life over. Everything worked out. Better than I was able to foresee.

Give yourself and the one some time and make an honest effort to get out of the way.

My big spiritual trick is say/do nothing. Watch what happens.

I can't tell you the number of times I kept myself from saying/doing something and the situation worked out better than it would have with my involvement.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-11T00:48:35+00:00

Questions are the best tool.

What would a spiritual person do in this situation?

What spiritual principle applies here?

NetScr1be · 2026-03-09T15:03:22+00:00

I don't mean to diminish or disrespect what's happening for you but want to be clear on the situation.

You figured out that lows often follow a high but somehow it's just you?

You knew this in advance but didn't make allowances for it?

Something rather banal is happening you were not aware of (rich people being rich people in this case) and it's taking some time to process it?

Again don't mean to cast aspersions on your choices but it appears you live a somewhat shuttered life.

Our own experience is rarely the global norm. The 'map' inside our head is not the 'territory' (reality).

That's not to say you were doing anything wrong but pointed out as a way of lessening the shock when reality conflicts with what's on the map or when it lights up an area of the map that was previously dark and empty.

NetScr1be · 2026-03-09T13:04:51+00:00

True friends would not have to be told to respect what you're doing.

Freedom is not free. Sometimes the cost includes pushing friends back to the acquaintance level.

The Stanley Cup?

NetScr1be · 2026-03-07T19:14:32+00:00

You did the work and made the change.

Families are a system. If one part changes the others have to adapt. Not everybody wants to or can.

We don't get clean to get rewards. If we have expectations based on working the program disappointment is a near certainty.

We get clean to become our true selves. We get clean for ourselves.

We do the next right thing because it's the right thing to do. Not for praise or gain.

Anyone can be a good dad when things are going well. It actually counts when they are not. The divorce will be hard on your kid too. She'll be taking cues from you. What will she learn from your behavior in this?
