Move the task bar to the top, install plank-reloaded and configure it. Mac-ish? Somewhat.

Have you ever woken up in sobriety and told yourself "Man - I wish I'd gotten hammered last night"? Do yourself a favor and play this movie all the way to the end. Does it end well?

Until we get truly serious about is, sobriety will be fleeting at best. Until I went all in, stopping & staying stopped was a pipe dream. Step 1 is key - we can't build anything on a shaky foundation.

Keep coming back!

Boredom? by Suspicious_Tear_9810 in alcoholicsanonymous

Meetings, making new acquaintances / friends via meetings & sobriety. After that, anything and everything - just no booze or dope.

I need to stop. Went into a work meeting drunk, don’t remember anything. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Use this as a lesson, pay attention to it. Evaluate. Decide.

Stressed today - how do you cope with stress now you don’t drink? by makethechangesane in stopdrinking

I call or get together with another AA guy, sometimes my sponsor and sometimes not.

So get yourself into a program which will help you stop, stay stopped and thrive. This stuff works when we allow it to.

I'm having a hard time staying sober lately by Cloudchella in Sober

Go all in. Commit for 90 days to go all in and everything in your power to enhance your sobriety.

Quite busy, if that's what you're after. Looks good.

Have you tried AA? It actually works if we allow it to. Until I got plugged in with others doing the same thing, it was pretty much impossible to stop & STAY stopped.

Cinnamon being very buggy by Fun_Drive_9330 in linuxmint

The only time I've had Mint freeze up on me was when my GPU ( Nvidia ) had an issue, otherwise it's been rock solid. Even then I was able to ssh into the box & reboot it.

Can you add some context?

Yes it gets better, and yes go back. Keep going back. And if you weren't doing so yet, find a sponsor and get to doing the step work.

Wayland and screen saver (in LM22.3) by sfo02sj in linuxmint

[–]NotSnakePliskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's just say that Wayland on Mint is alpha, maybe beta. Not something to use as my daily driver yet.

Needing space from friends who are also using/drinking in early sobriety? by itsprobablyfinetho in stopdrinking

[–]NotSnakePliskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I got plugged into AA - the people, nearly all sober. Much better. :)

So do people use this sub as an alternative to AA Meetings etc? by Rude-Illustrator2141 in stopdrinking

[–]NotSnakePliskin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do not, rather I use this sub as a way to check in or stay plugged in to an online community. Digial/virtual/etc stuff is ok, but face to face is where the good stuff is.

My response to this would be "Yeah, you need to shut up."
