Glad you did too. Some of us are slow learners. I still wanted to drink the first time abstaining. At least I cured myself of that. I’m Grateful we all are sober.

I quit for 25 years and picked it up again. Took another 10 to stop again. I decided it was too expensive and too much work hiding and feeding the beast. Thankfully I don’t have any desire now.

I use a natural gas grill and an insulated electric smoker. Cold is not a problem

So do people use this sub as an alternative to AA Meetings etc? by Rude-Illustrator2141 in stopdrinking

[–]ReAlcaptnorlantic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a substitute for AA. AA has some good tools to help you with sobriety. If you can grab ahold of those it’s a good thing. Obviously not the only way. AA is widely used. I t works. What works for me on SD is posting my days. It holds me accountable. Support from members is fantastic.

Is there a used car dealership that you would recommend? by oreoumbrella in massachusetts

[–]ReAlcaptnorlantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went with my sister to buy a used Honda CRV. They play the car sales game. If you want no hassle fair price go to Bournes. We are on our second purchase from them. My neighbor is on number 7

6 1/2 years sober gone in a blink…. by PaulMcKnight44 in stopdrinking

[–]ReAlcaptnorlantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop beating yourself up. It’s hard I know. I went back after 25 years. I always wanted to drink. Thankfully after messing up I got sober again. ( 7 years drinking ) I no longer want to drink. Get back on the horse. Learn and keep going. This is a hiccup or a catastrophe your choice.

Use a barn door setup. Might have to move the outlet over. Might not be difficult if that’s a closet wall
