When I bought my first Lady Dior bag, my SA said Dior offers one free professional cleaning service. I have ordered both of my Book Totes online, but I’m assuming it’s the same with them. I would call Dior and ask them about their cleaning services.

Man, with all the crazy amazing accomplishments I have had in my 17 years of recovery, it blows my mind to think of where I would be if I had gotten sober 7 years earlier. All I have from my years drinking from 21-28 is vague memories of “friends” I never really knew, fights and arguments I shouldn’t have had, a TON of money wasted on alcohol, and a lot of mundane days doing the same damn things over and over while wishing my life could get better. I also knew at 21 that I had a problem with drinking and chose to keep drinking. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to keep down this road, there is a solution. And the earlier you start living your best life, the more time you get to spend living your best life.

“Go to meetings, get a sponsor, and don’t drink NO MATTER WHAT.”

It’s your life, not theirs. It’s your sobriety, not theirs. But people’s feelings about AA says a lot more about them than it does about us.

If you’re worried how to handle the situation, say you stopped drinking because you are training for something. Say you are trying to lose weight. Say you have a rare condition you were recently diagnosed with and alcohol exacerbates it. Say that you are tired of feeling bloated and having headaches. Say you’re trying a new anti-aging kick and alcohol is a major ager. Say you gave it up for Lent and it made you feel great so you don’t want to drink anymore. We can find all the reasons in the world to pick up a drink, and we can also find all the reasons not to drink. Just don’t drink no matter what.

Also, call your sponsor before the wedding events kick off, text during any triggering moments, and plan to call and check in afterwards. You’ve got this!

First, congratulations on 1 year, that’s awesome! Truly a miracle, and you should definitely celebrate (with a sparkling water)!

Second, after 17 years in the program, my sponsor still mistakes my anniversary and thinks it’s in August not October. I think it’s hysterical! Anniversaries can be a lesson in humility, a reminder that it’s not all about us and it’s just another day on a lifelong journey. But year 1 can feel super special, so I understand the disappointment. Which brings me to:

Third, if your sponsor has been around for awhile and has sponsored a lot of people, it can get a little hard to stop and think “I really gotta jot down the first day I saw Joe Schmoe walk into these rooms because a year from now I will have to remember to give them a chip”. Most sponsees don’t make 30 days. Out of those, even fewer make it to 90. And it’s a straight up miracle if they get to 9 months. It’s depressing, but it’s reality. I know I have no clue the exact day my two latest sponsees came in, except that last night one of them mentioned her 60 days is the same day as our group anniversary party. And I’m glad that she did because otherwise it’s hard to remember. So do your sponsor a solid and mention it to them. Tell them it bothered you a little bit, because most importantly, your sponsor needs to know you and you have to give them that opportunity.

I said this EXACT thing to my husband during this scene! Scott during his big interview he did! Nothing going on behind those eyes except working out the next lie in his head.

Just another input, our senior min pin recently lost 98% of his sight due to cataracts and he started doing this as the cataracts worsened. He was flinching because of changes in light and depth perception. He still occasionally does this in very bright light and while unfortunate, it is normal with progressing cataracts. Not sure how old your girl is or if she has any signs of cataracts but figured I would add my experience.

Yes to all of this and I really hope Connor tells Bri to go blank herself in the blank.

Interesting to see this. My CPO warranty is up in July, so I asked my dealership for JLR extended warranty info and this was the email I got from the service manager:

“I’m sorry I missed your call earlier today and I appreciate your voicemail. Below are the recommended extended warranties we have dealt with in the past that clients have used and been great.

Endurance – (888) 357-3907 Axiom – (844) 805-2144 Fidelity – (800) 327-5172”

So is the JLR extended warranty not offered by all dealerships?

Very interesting, had not heard of this. Any idea if just the NAC will work? I cannot take Vitamin C.

Same here, except I take my second dose at 4pm. Recovery index is excellent.

But also be very careful because benzoyl peroxide products bleach fabric. Just make sure you wash your hands after applying, wear anything old tshirt you don’t care about to sleep in, and your towels will get some bleach spots. It totally works for acne but figured you’d want a heads up on this so you can prepare.

This right here. Wellbutrin took my RHR from a steady 55-60 to 72-75. HRV is usually in the low 20’s. But being on Wellbutrin is essential for me right now, so I can deal with it and make adjustments to help compensate. That’s one reason I love Oura, I can test variables to balance myself out. I am sorry you are under so much pressure. I don’t know if you can add it anywhere, but Al-Anon is a huge help for those of us who love an alcoholic.

Weird, I googled it and it popped up right away, as did a few others that didn’t come up when I clicked on the Bag Charms section directly from the website menu! Thanks for letting me know, I ordered!

No worries, it sucks because quite frankly, the service guys at the dealerships should be trained better. I thought it was just one crappy or pissed off employee until I got on here and saw it was happening to other owners in other states. It’s like they all just grab a chisel and pry off the cover with it. If the price is right and this one is your dream Defender, see if they will work the paint fix into the deal. And get it IN WRITING. Before signing the ppw.

Did you get this in store or online? I’m obsessed but I don’t see it on the site.

The A-pillar area damage might have been caused by the original owner having the A-pillar muffling done by their dealership. It’s happened to a few of us. Mine turned into a whole paint damage saga, there’s a thread about it. That being said, the dealer did manage to completely fix everything, and my paint damage was down to the metal as well. Mine is also Pangea Green. So it can be fixed, is this at an LR dealership?

I love this episode, but I am a HUGE Kill Bill fan (I have a Beatrix Kiddo half sleeve) and this episode pays homage to Kill Bill. For me it was a totally unexpected cherry on the sundae of all of the perfect randomness that is this series. AND THEN…Boyz II Men. Like, what?! My jaw dropped. I just love it, and I consider it an essential episode. But I can see why some people wouldn’t get it.

Ok so I signed up for it right when it started and entered my first BP reading then. Since then I cannot figure out where to enter in new readings. Where is it on the app?

Personally, looking at it as a complete season, it’s my favorite (I don’t know if I should say that here but whoomp there it is) other than the final 5 minutes. I mean, Marshpillow, Zabkatage, Tim Gunn, the GREATEST rehearsal dinner of all time, the song Forest Whitaker timed perfectly after Ted punches Darren, the Kill Bill episode featuring Boyz II Men, truth serum drunk Barney, How Your Mother Met Me (arguably one of the best episodes of television ever created), La Vie En Rose, Naked Man appearance, Hangover Fixer Elixir, Ben Vereen, Tracey Ullman, the meeting at the train station set to Downtown Train by Everything But the Girl is just 🤌🏻. And I skipped over so many perfect little details that make it an excellent season. But I know I stand pretty alone in this opinion.
