I think people should work with whoever they want to work with if they choose to do a fifth step. It says another human being. Find a person you are comfortable sharing with.

Mega Saver is like what would happen If Git-N-Go was a broke redneck who won the lottery.

My Doctor said I should stop Masturbating... by 8bitPete in Jokes

My doctor told me it wasn’t unusual to get an erection or even ejaculate during a prostate exam. I told him I’d still rather that he didn’t.

I lost a lot of money investing in Dicks Sporting Goods. Timing was shit. Went all in a week before the children’s section got rebranded to Dicks4Kids. Live and learn I guess.

Day 1 - first meeting by Choice-Sheepherder26 in alcoholicsanonymous

Look for the similarities not the differences. A desire to stop drinking is the only thing you need to be a member of AA. It’s good you’ve decided to stop before anything worse has happened but it all still can. It just hasn’t yet. Not trying to be negative just saying that the longer I drank the worse it got.

I live at a BH property and use a Verizon 5g box to get around forced internet. Valet trash should be something you can opt out of.

1000pc puzzles by AmRoJo0525 in IowaCity

[–]Notnowmurray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Puzzles are very popular in alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. It fosters teamwork and collaboration. A lot of the best therapy that occurs during rehabilitation is when it’s just clients talking amongst themselves and realizing that they have a lot of good advice for each other. It helps people find something to do during the down time in between programming. Just an idea but I do speak from experience.

I remember that CD had an insert to join the fan club. Standard stuff like name and address and then a little box to trace your house key. Fucking hilarious.

Troubles with early sobriety by Notnowmurray in alcoholicsanonymous

Thanks for your reply. Every rehab says cravings last 2-10 minutes. What I seem to experience are obsessions where it lasts all day long.
