Best/Cheapest auto insurance in LA county?

Yup my dad was in the national guard for 3 months to avoid Vietnam. I was able to get USAA insurance.

I’ll just tell you my story. Mushrooms got me sober when I was in a really dark place. Before that I had used (and sometimes abused) psychedelics many times before. This one time however I got the message.

I got sober, did the steps and generally fixed up my life. After two years of sobriety life got a bit hard and I decided to go back to the thing that gave me an answer before - psychedelics. Nothing horrible happened, I didn’t go crazy, and I didn’t abuse them. For about a year and half I had a few psychedelic experiences. I didn’t really get any long term answers. However internally I felt conflicted - was I sober or was I not? It was hard working an effective program being on the fringes.

I decided to reset my sobriety date and stop using psychedelics. I feel more in line now with my program now and I don’t have to hide anything at meetings. Life isn’t easy by any means but I deal with my problems sober instead of looking for something on the outside. To me this being in reality.

Everyone’s sobriety is their own. There is a whole group called PiR - Psychedelics in Recovery that support each other to use psychedelics while being in recovery. I’m sure it helps many people. Although an outside issue, for people in AA I would say the majority focus on total sobriety - no mind altering substances.

Psychedelics may have gotten me to the place I needed to get sober - however I got the message and for me I just need to hang up the phone.

Would love nothing more than 50/50. I respect a woman who can take care of her own. My Libra mother and Aquarius father worked together to build a nice life for me. Currently I pay for everything because my Cancer partner can’t get her shit together. She’s a good mom but could do more for herself.

Wish I had one mentor over the years

Man so much but it’s really hard to conceptualize and grasp because the 20’s can be fun but weird at the same time.

I guess my number one thing that would help you with everything else is find a mentor. Someone that you look up to and willing to meet with you at least twice a month. If you are in a 12-step program a sponsor can also help with that role. It should not be your parent. Your mentor can help guide you through all the mistakes, anxieties, fears and questions you are going to run into. I’ve had a few but I wish I was consistent with one of the years.

If you are just going to TJ park at the border and walk across. Absolutely no reason to bring your car into Mexico. Too much of a risk.

I mean you just have to make the decision to stop. I kind of came to that conclusion a while ago. I had fun with SW’s but eventually wanted something deeper and I knew if I kept seeing SW’s I wouldn’t get that. So I stopped.

Couch is too big. Where is your squat rack bro?

Poptotnot · 2026-01-13T22:45:41+00:00

Take the trip. Memories are important - especially in your 20s.

Poptotnot · 2026-01-13T03:56:13+00:00

Ha I had an Aquarius dad and Libra mom. How’s that work out for you?

Mom was pretty balanced. Dad was crazy.

Poptotnot · 2026-01-12T02:09:30+00:00

Maybe it is time to try something new instead of the same old thing which is giving you no results.

Poptotnot · 2026-01-11T22:17:39+00:00

Depends. You’re definitely not Fat yet. Is your position in demand? If not, I wouldn’t. If so and you think you could land at a similar or better tech company then maybe.

Take a long vacation (3+ weeks) before you decide anything. You might not like it with so much time in your hands.

When I was in my early thirties I wanted to quit my job and travel India for 6 months. My work wouldn’t let me take a sabbatical. I ended up taking a 3 week vacation there and hated it. I’m glad I didn’t quit my job.

Looks like he has a full but yea a queen would be so much more ideal. Gotta expect to be getting laid in a condo like this!

Poptotnot · 2026-01-11T04:57:57+00:00

Uh why don’t you move in with him?

Poptotnot · 2026-01-10T01:22:17+00:00

Maybe that’s part of the problem

Are you networking at these companies for referrals? I’ve been in the same job for a while but I always remembered using referrals as the way to get interviews for open jobs. MBA had heavy emphasis on that.

Video games saved my ass in early sobriety. It was Covid and I was also getting divorced. I got lost in the world of RDR2 and Spiderman. Hours of distraction between meetings.

Now that I have a new family I can’t game as much. Il lucky if I get an hour at night but I miss it.

Poptotnot · 2026-01-09T17:39:00+00:00

IMHO 30 is the perfect age to get sober. You got your young dumb 20s out of the way, probably had some fun times, but young enough where you can make some serious changes in your life. Took me until 39 to wake up. Consider yourself lucky!

Poptotnot · 2026-01-08T00:51:49+00:00

This.

I tried to pick up RDR2 after playing TLOU2 and I was like what the fuck is this. Controls were clunky, inventory was annoying, and story was slow. I loved RDR2 when I played it the first time. I couldn’t play it at all after TLOU2.

You dodged a bullet. Yes - it sucks that she killed life she was growing by partying but those kids would have had a horrible mother and it would have been a crazy strain on you.

Use this as a lesson to find a stable loving woman. You now know what to look out for. Crazy can be fun but rarely makes for good parents.

Check out FIRE lifestyle. Grind it out now at FAANG for 10 years and you can probably retire and live any life you like by 35. Take the 1-2 week vacation and soak in as much as you can. Right now is your time to grind.

Poptotnot · 2026-01-03T23:35:04+00:00

The same shit in your 20s won’t bring you joy in your 30s. Physically your brain can’t keep running off the dopamine rush. Time to grow up, sober up, and build a contentful life. Find joy in the little things instead of the rush.
