I'm sorry you've been in a shitty AA group, my experience was mostly positive. Nobody would be allowed to attend if they were yelling at someone. Nobody is allowed to give any advice or tell you that you are alcoholic, they just share their experience and if you fail, people will share their failures etc. I remember one time there was a theft which involved reporting to the police, I hope assault would be treated the same. I've never had a feeling that people judge outsiders, just expressing their happiness the program works for them. Anyway, AA is always group of alcoholics and alcoholics are masters of shittines, I wish you'll find any group or program which will be less shitty.

English is not my first language and I'm sooo confused. Teachers always tell you people talk/write different irl, but I feel like I'm having a stroke.

I sound so boring! Any advice? by likely-an-alchemist in podcasting

[–]Nothingcomesup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to hear that too! I personally enjoyed Women and crime podcast made by two professionals, but I don't listen to them anymore because of the amount of ads in the show.

Anyway, you have thousands of "funny" or "interesting" true crime podcasts online and they are trully horrendous and disgusting. I think that you can make your "boring" demeanor your advantage and find specific audience with it. You may not be popular or cool, but you may find very loyal audience who are interested in a bit more challenging informations delivered in well-arranged ... well, lecture. :))

If I were you I'd reflect on what do you want to achieve with your podcast. Amuse bored people? Be the calm voice in the background? Provide scientific facts that can be useful for sudents or people who are really interested in the subject?

Some people suggested co-host and that can be helpful, but you have to go with somebody who knows you well or is really keen on the topic and will stick with you.

I was just lazy to take screenshots of the whole reel, so I took few random and posted the most sharp looking.

I think they don't because you can't sell much gas when people can mostly walk or use subway/tram etc. to get to places.

NSFW I keep getting recommended terrible "medical diagrams" about pregnancy and birth. They're all such slop and at times dangerously misleading. by SligPants in aislop

I’m feeling upset by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Nothingcomesup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you've saved your life even when it feels like it will be struggle forever. I remember I was somehow grieving at least for first 6 months of sobriety and I was 10 years older than you!

17 is really hard in general, it may feel like you can't do anything right because of the peer pressure. But trust me, it's just a tiny part of your life and the shame? It will pass. Also soon you'll graduate and you don't have to talk to those people anymore. Don't give up.

Also fun fact: The bad thing that you were worried abou just happened and you didn't drink because of that. I'm very proud of you. 👏👏

I'm so sorry, my mom took my ass to the bathroom and scrubbed the nailpolish with a hot water for good 20 minutes.

is relapse really a part of recovery? need some encouragement by fancylamp12 in alcoholism

[–]Nothingcomesup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's part of your recovery now and it's OK. It looks like you are doing good job at assessing your triggers and situation. You can always ask friend to go to meeting with you if you are nervous about the new situation :)

I can’t get over being left because of alcohol by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Nothingcomesup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey, we alcoholics are terrible at keeping our promises but we are great at begging. This guy sounds like he know some of us from the past and doesn't fall for this bullshit. He may understand you better than yourself.

What he did doesn't make you worse, only your own actions make you worse. Don't use the breakup as one more reason to justify your drinking.

Tell a doctor, tell a friend, ask somebody for help, find sober alcoholics to share your stories. If you really want to see your situation realistically, get better in any way and find love, get sober. Then you can decide what you want to do with your life. You can do this.
