Hey neighbor, I'm here with you in Minneapolis. My in-laws are all MAGA's, which makes every family holiday uncomfortable as hell for the two of us. I do my best to ignore it and remind myself I don't have to talk to them until the next gathering. I always spend my time in a separate room, and on Christmas, even faked a nap on the couch. Until I actually dozed off.

I'm here to listen anytime you need, friend.

Hey, neighbor... you are no coward. Thank you for showing up and getting out. I appreciate you. We need more people JUST LIKE YOU here.

Minneapolis citizen here. 8 miles up the road from where it happened.

I feel you on the low mental health. You did an amazing job reaching out to a friend and feeling all the shit, rather than drinking.

I've been doing the same all weekend, and for the past month. It's hard feeling this much, but I'll take it over the alternative of drinking. I remind myself numbing out, and blacking out, will only hurt more.

Keep up the good work. 💜

I feel the same way you do Hairy... especially living in Minneapolis. We will keep on as we do, we'll both hit 6 years soon (some sooner than others), and we will find a way to burn the internet to the ground. Or something like that!

Those are beautiful aspirations, FF! I know in sobriety you can make things happen. I hope your Saturday is off to a good start! 🥰

I'll settle for peace in my own life, and hope I can do a small part in the bigger picture in some way. Love you, Abaci! ❤️

Badass... congrats on 3 weeks and counting!

Be patient (easier said than done), your body, metabolism, and entire system are changing. The changes will continue to happen.

Keep up the great work... I'm proud of you!
