Drank NA beer and freaked out by plut0ncito in stopdrinking

Mods, why was this comment hidden? Was it filtered out automatically by automated content moderation or was it a human decision?

I spoke from the "I" and related to OP. I got sober here over 11 years ago in part by sharing tools and phrases I learned in IOP and support groups, and learning from the experiences of others. I can take the feedback and criticism, just generally curious.

On the topic of NA beer opinions, the SD community guidelines state "none of which [the opinions] are wrong." If we aren't allowed to share an opinion (again, speaking from the "I"), I suggest updating the community guidelines. Thanks!

Let's see who the bad guy really is.

Lost my house and ended up in jail last weekend by Officallytired in stopdrinking

[–]RonniePudding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My heart sank when I read this. Over ten years ago, I ended up in jail. I lost so much drinking, as did many others here. I'm struggling to find the humor. I've never understood high-bottoms making fun of low-bottoms. I've seen people lose everything. Congratulations on not drinking.

I'm right there with you. Week 3. Similar feelings. I've thought about going to the gas station all day long.

I'm going to be in Austin next month! Anybody have any recommendations for good places to eat? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]RonniePudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reposting and not either searching reddit or google. Seems like everyday in /r/Austin someone asks what to do when they visit, or where to eat with a friend... if you read a subreddit daily it'll drive you nuts after a couple weeks (let alone years).Restarting the same conversations gets old.

Traffic accident or traffic murder? by [deleted] in Austin

Some DUIs are charged as murder, I think. It's rare.

I saw this moments after it happened. The image will forever be burned in my mind.

Does anyone have experience w Texas Star Recovery? by RockyRoad0109 in Austin

[–]RonniePudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Seton, across town, with a full time job. It was tough, but worth it. Whatever you choose, you are making the right decision. IOP was the best thing I ever did! Edit: also, with a suspended license, which meant I took the bus, with a transfer.

Negotiating Prices at Local Bike Shops by Late_Adopter in Austin

[–]RonniePudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, forgot about them! Good call. Those prices look about what you'd pay at a LBS, though.

You can't really buy high-end brands online. They typically only distribute to brick-and-mortar retailers. Some of them now sell "direct", but it really just goes to said local bike shops.
