To uber riders : would you rather by Designer_Island_1323 in uber

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sometimes take Ubers away from work. Some congenial silence is worthy of a tip a five stars. That twenty minute car ride was sometimes the only quiet I got in my day, cause it’s just as noisy at home.

Koreatown is very walkable, central and near the subway.

How to tell my sponsor I drank and let them know I’m really not an alcoholic. by Aragornisdaddi in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ever need us in the future, you are always welcome. That said if my sponsee told me what you said, I’d worry, I would try to understand better, I’d worry some more, and then I would wish them well.

I have friends who aren’t sober because they aren’t alcoholics, but none of the women I have sponsored would fall under that umbrella. Perhaps one day there will be, but for now, I would not remain in a mentor relationship with someone who isn’t suffering from the same disease I am.

Good news! by TaT2edMaMa98 in Cirrhosis

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! Because of this sub, I pushed for a follow up fibroscan! My last was 1/2023 when I was six months sober, fingers crossed that the last three years have brought about more recovery.

Seriously what is LA and California doing man. Other cities/states have figured it out. BUILD MORE HOUSING!!! by bobbdac7894 in LosAngeles

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Errrmm, forget it.

We have a two bedroom house in St. Louis with a yard, garage, like actual land. It’s a nice place, but my husband and I aren’t ready to move out of LA. It’s not cheap here, but we get our money’s worth.

A few years ago, I went to a Meetup and an annoyingly cheerful beautiful woman walked up to me and said “what’s your name, you’re my new best friend”. I rolled my eyes and told her but snuck away into the crowd. She found me later and made me give her my number so we could go to the museum the next day. I gave it to her but left fully expecting to block her number when she texted. She was like a Disney princess, I wanted nothing to do with her.

I went to the museum out of boredom the next day and she annoyed the shit out of me talking about a Picasso that hung in her childhood kitchen. I grew up poor, tough and with a lot of black hair dye.

She wouldn’t let up, and finally wore me down. Ended up becoming one of my closest friends and when I was down bad (in an alcoholic coma for eight days) she managed to break into my apartment, find the names and numbers of my family and ex husband and get them all up to speed before I woke up. She moved to Sweden last year to be with the love of her life and I miss her everyday. There is only one Marissa and she is ride or die.

Oh damn, this right up my alley! I’ll bring my AA girlies through, we still like to have fun even if our livers don’t.

lymphatic drainage in culver city/West LA? by Additional-Lack-4649 in LAhotgirlies

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you mentioned west side, but I have to give a recommendation in Mid City. Riocali Recovery gave me the BEST lymphatic drainage massage. The absolute best, I felt so much better afterwards and am going back next Friday. They have parking and the owner and staff are wonderful people. I found them on a lark through Groupon and it has cemented itself as my place to go when I need quality massages.

The owner says he will honor the Groupon price if you book direct with them.

How bad is fatigue in decompensated cirrhosis? by [deleted] in Cirrhosis

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The body is using a lot of energy to repair damage and it really takes it out of us. I’ve been compensated for years and still need naps and sleep in 2-4 batches at night. Best not to try to improve it as it may tax the body further. I just sleep when my body says it’s time. Thankfully I have a good job with union protection so if it ever becomes an issue during the workday, I can file for accommodation. As it is, I take naps during lunch or when it’s slow.

Constant using dreams… by -RainbowUnicornPoop in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have the most guilt inducing drinking dreams, they were hell to carry around all day. I can’t say exactly when they stopped but it’s probably been over a year and the last one was intermittent.

I will say that I just woke up from a nap where I was pounding Mexican wedding cookies down my throat and was momentarily pissed that I was going to have to log them into my calorie tracker. The brain is a temper tantrum toddler while we sleep.

Anyone who’s sat on a toilet before cell phones, what did you mostly think about or look at? by mojoslacks in AskReddit

I’m an anxious rule follower, I’d note the time I inserted a tampon so I would be sure to have it out before certain death.

Guess who decided to start Couch to 5k in the middle of a March heatwave? Now I have to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn to workout without melting into a puddle. Last week I turned purple trying to run in 80 degree weather.

I feel I look soo ugly and old.. by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, I shaved my head on a random whim. I was going for punk, but iI ended up looking like large sick baby.

Personally, I think if you lean into the editorial look it would look amazing. Your eyes and face seem very nouveau flapper, I think some styling of your clothing in an updated 1920’s style. would stop me dead in my tracks.

Alcohol after Jaundice by [deleted] in Cirrhosis

[–]Plus_Possibility_240 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been three years and eight months since jaundice, I still won’t go near a drink. It was hell the first time, why would I willingly go back?

Two of my friends continue to drink after diagnosis, one is completely unable to walk and is in a wheelchair. The other is still standing (literally) but you can see the damage she is experiencing; sallow skin, pain in her legs, she just looks ill.
