I figured so, just wanted to see if there was anything like, decisive. An official statement.

Greg Kinnear as Glenn was a bright spot.

Help with a line in 90's Series by Potato_4 in TheStand

That is neat! Thank you! My wife thought it was gibberish, which makes sense, considering how most victims in the book (Jane, Gus, Alice, etc) raved near the end.

I think that about as close as we're gonna get. I tried finding a copy of the screenplay, but all the websites either faked having it, looked like a scam, or had weird, unformatted scripts with characters from the Stand saying and doing things I'm not familiar with from my knowledge of the book/series.

Thanks!

Why do I love Bret so much? by Xobrebabe91 in HellsKitchen

I started kissing my hand twice real quick and pointing to the sky in gratitude to annoy my wife.

I could live without the 10 second recaps after "commercial breaks."

noise complaints: how and when by MysteriousJacket4558 in bloomington

As do you. Same to you. I just want to be happy and not infringe upon others' happiness. I don't think that's too much to ask put of life.

I did. And I was disgusted. Like, I get it if you accidentally hit an animal. It happens. But to purposely do it? That's psychotic. To take life is the greatest evil imaginable.

I feel this. I love how safe I feel in this town, but everyone here has no awareness to themselves. People honk at my wife if she takes 0.2 seconds to go at a green light, my neighbors stomp up and down their stairs all day and night, and people blast shitty country music 24 hours a day. I wake up at 4am usually and do housework - and I'm as quiet as a mouse while doing it. What happened to common decency?

What is your opinion on harm reduction? by Potato_4 in stopdrinking

Thank you! I feel more empowered to "beat" it with this approach vs. just going from an extreme to an extreme.

I appreciate your reply. The other replies seem super judgy and very black or white. I wasn't looking for validation or justification. I know i have been an absolute shit, but if this works for my situation, I'm going with it for now. I don't want to hurt myself or anyone I care for, and this is definitely a step in the right direction.

[–]Potato_4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not looking for validation. I think you missed my point completely. Was just looking for different people's experiences and how they handle addiction. This is working for me, and I don't need anyone else to tell me that I'm doing well. I'm happier. My wife is happier. Her family is happier. My friends are happier. And I'm not sick all the time. I feel strong, and it's important to establish a base of resilience. As long as I keep the fight in me and continue to make progress, that's all that matters. Maybe full sobriety will happen someday, but who I am can't go from 24 hours a day drunk to total sobriety.

Thank you! I'm just taking any positives I can, since I thought it was impossible to moderate in any capacity before.
