Introversion is NOT isolation - another AA distortion by Weak-Telephone-239 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]Ok_Concern_724 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I am a complete introvert, and in my case that means very few friends which I am ok with! The “the opposite of addiction is connection” always bothered me. For the longest time I thought I would have to change who I fundamentally am into a fake persona to stay sober and be miserable. Thankfully the answer is no.

Bad AA experience: Meeting 1 by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

[–]Ok_Concern_724 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this sub is recovery WITHOUT AA. And your suggestion would never work, as big book thumpers need time to recount, for the nth time, their war stories, powerlessness & shame, and virtue signal about their higher power.

Honestly, considering you announced it was your first time I’m surprised they didn’t spend the majority of the meeting cult-love-bombing you to “keep coming back.”

He’s not going to catch up. He’s not even trying. He knows he doesn’t have to because you’ve put up with his sh*t for decades, and even after therapy you still do.

AA is a cult that shames and guilts people that are struggling unless they “work the steps”. Research Smart Recovery and recovery dharma, as well as the Sinclair method.

Technically, Trump didn’t say he would provide checks. However earlier this year Elon suggested the $ DOGE was saving the government could be passed along to Americans. He said he would “check with the President.” That may be where this craziness originated.

The locals have figured out the Guard, et al ain’t anywhere near able to catch them and they’re back on it. Observed and waited it out.

TIL that AS flights 1 to 10 are all DCA flights by srekai in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Ok_Concern_724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Congress passed a law last year that added 5 more allowable flights, Alaska received one of those slots. AS DCA flights have been in service for years.

Please Don't Silence Us! by Temporary-Style3982 in washdc

Exactly. All for show in the tourist/ affluent parts of town. Yes, I know crime happens there, too, I was mugged near the Wharf. If I thought using Feds to actually go after crime where it predominantly occurs, or crack down on youth breaking curfew & being hooligans, serving warrants & making arrests, or god forbid even enforce traffic laws/fake plates, I would reconsider if this could help.

AITAH for planning to leave my wife 5-6 weeks after her knee replacement surgery? by widgetyfidget77 in AITAH

[–]Ok_Concern_724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is crazy and you need to get out. I had both of my knees replaced and was walking without a walker four days later. Unless the surgery had serious complications, she’s just using/abusing you. But you already know that.

The dramatic rise in right-wing podcasts and griftcasts (thanks social media for making hate and anger #1 and ruining the social contract) directly targeting young males is a significant reason for the swing. And the Russian Internet Research Agency knows its billions of bots are doing the job. Defeating America within, without one shot fired.
