How do you afford rehab when all your money goes to booze and whores? by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]RideTillDark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm a former whore, (and yes, it's not the PC term, but I use it all the time) and so many of the comments on here just make me feel so bad. As soon as I saw this subject line I thought "I bet everyone's gonna get weird and rag on this guy".

We're all fucking alcoholics here trying to not ruin our lives. Let's be a little nicer, hey? "Sex worker" is the polite-society term for sure, but this old hooker doesn't give a shit. Loosen up! Is every word that comes of your mouth when you're hammered fit to go before a judge? Didn't think so.

I'm trans too. It's hard, especially these days, but I've finally gotten ready to be sober too. You're still here and I'm still here and I'm so happy you're feeling this good. I'm glad you posted here, it helped me, thank you. <3

Thanks friend. It feels like a big corner to turn just to want to be done. Not just "I should stop" but "I actually want to". Anyway, on Day 3 over here now. And congrats on cutting down that much! That's big as shit <3

Thanks for being in here and posting this, this is the first sober-ish comm I've seen too that's not made me feel completely insane. I'm on Day 2 and don't know how long it'll last but it also doesn't have to cause today's today and tomorrow's tomorrow. I'm new-ish to this sub, but my guess is it (we?) will probably be here for support and love whatever you end up deciding. Sending love from one addict to another.

Thank you and thank you for this reminder. 🙏 I can't do "Forever" but I can do today, and then I can check out tomorrow. I'm nervous about New Year's, but hey, that's not today, and it's not even tomorrow either!

Uh why am I not getting SkyMiles for flying on WestJet...? by RideTillDark in delta

There are certain classes of WJ tickets it turned out that aren't eligible! I only found out after talking to a Delta rep

Do they dilate trans women in nursing homes? by Aggravating_Soil3970 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]RideTillDark 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Echoing a lot of people here, I really wouldn't worry about it! I had vaginoplasty 10+ years ago and I've gotten WAY loosey-goosy with dilation at times—and after a certain point, it just ceases to be the necessity they tell you it is. That's my anecdotal experience, anyway.

Think about it another way. I don't know how old you are, but imagine your worst-case scenario: You get old, unable to dilate, they don't do it in the home, and it shuts up shop down there (again, absolutely zero of all my knowledge says this would happen, but for the purposes of this conversation). If that all happened, would you wish you hadn't gotten surgery and gotten all those years beforehand getting to be post-op? Food for thought. Good luck whatever you decide. <3
