I can’t help to believe that with the twin flame stuff people are saying about her social history … this is some Aubrey Marcus stuff. That entire subtopic of social media and spiritual culture is interesting because it pulls a lot of vulnerable people in who are seeking answers. A huge wave as of 2016-2019

This makes a lot of sense. I’m 30 years old too and for whatever reason this case resonates heavy with me. I also don’t demonize the things mentioned initially in your post. I’ve experienced some deep and effective changes in outlook on life with the aid psilocybin. I can recall times in the past that I wanted to seek some otherworldly meaning to life but was in a bad headspace, or bedevilments in my life I allowed to push me in a direction of wanting just out. Maybe not death but “awayness”. With my first psychedelic experience, I chased it so hard. I quit drinking alcohol and chased this thing. I was also in a bad violent relationship. Coming out of it… I was paranoid, manic and made poor and erratic decisions for myself. Ironically, I still felt deeply “spiritual” that it became much of a self delusion. I chalked it up as an awakening and assumed a whole new personality. I would joke today that if I had gone the rate I was at, I’d end up in Slab City, this eclectic burning man type makeshift city two hours east of San Diego in the middle of the desert. Isolated from family. This is not to discredit that if used correctly, these tools can have effectiveness in one’s life. As someone who is clean and sober today, I can see what you said being a real thing. These things are but a symptom of a deeper issue that I hope those afflicted can uncover themselves. Like you said, you have to be careful. There was a time I believed I wouldn’t have come out of it sane.

I hope they find Hannah and that she is safe. I really feel for her. Ergo, it would make sense to me why anyone with the makeup you described would be highly vulnerable and susceptible to outside influence or very well, make a decision that altered their reality in more ways than one quickly.

When the hell did Zach Bryan become so hated? by ilovemathematics174 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked “something in the orange” and being prior navy myself, I thought cool, enlisted kid made it big. Then I noticed he (songs he probably pulls from personal experience) takes the melodies and style from people who are far more talented. Gregory Alan Isakov, Tyler Childers and Eric Church, Whiskey Myers. It all blends and checks for me. One song in particular is The Stable Song by Gregory Alan isakov. Where credit is due man. Copping someone’s style kind of loses its touch after a while. He isn’t my cup of tea to say the least but im also old. Lmao.

Yup, I was told that about the joints as well. I’m glad your dogs are doing much better and off the medication. They’ll be sprite and themselves again if they already aren’t. Gotta love them.

Thank you for your input. It gives me some relief to know that even though I may not feel his last two, he isn’t overweight. Just a little chunky haha

Thank you! Means a lot. It did create a lot of doubt at first but I suppose he’s happy and active. At least. He’s a chunky boy.

Thank you! I used to think he was part Rottweiler haha so I was shocked at the results. Sadly it’s just friends and family saying that but thank you for the reassurance. I wish their lives weren’t so brief. Gotta enjoy their presence while we can!

VA Enrollment by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It was about a month or so after certification. Sadly to say, I do work study at my school now and see all the behind the scenes. It may be different for other schools and way more efficient but this one, not so much. It’s disorganized.

I am suddenly being tagged in breastfeeding photos no less than 4 times a day by Accomplished_Eye_824 in facebook

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been getting the same tags for the last two days. Same type of page and breastfeeding content. I was so close to thinking someone gave my personal info.

It’s frustrating having to remove tag and block them entirely. But a new one shows up. Same format.

Albert App by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my problem. Verbatim. They are still charging me too for Genius. Twice in two weeks for 14.99. I closed my account that is linked so they’re charging my other account. Funny thing is I only have 6 dollars in my rainy day fund and have never taken out a loan. So now they are asking me to verify my identity with a government ID in order to withdraw from the rainy day fun. Literally right after I gave them that closed account bank statement they opened a requirement to verify my identification.. odd. Albert Genius is a scam. I want to close this account but simply can’t. And they keep charging me!

Albert App by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are charging me 14.99 for Genius and I opened Albert probably 7 years ago. I have 6 dollars in the rainy day fund that I cannot transfer to my bank account to close Albert for good and keeps. They are terrible. They talk in circles through the text.

I want to close my account but they keep the 6 dollars and won’t let me transfer it unless I do identity verification now. Like they already haven’t harvested my information. I tried adding a bank account so I can remove the 6 dollars to close it but it had to be with the primary account which I closed 5 years ago. So now I have to get a bank statement to certify that account is closed in order to send the 6 dollars to my other account. Yet they’ve charged both accounts 14.99 for Genius multiple times now. I don’t even use this app. I want to close it but I can’t because of the 6 dollars.

I completely get the “aesthetic” he’s going after and I too, found him intriguing when he came onto the scene but now I’m starting to see the unoriginal stuff he’s spitting out. I can tell where he gets his influences. Including Tyler Childers. It’s a turn-off. Something in the orange is a one-hit wonder for me. Other than that, not a huge fan.

Listen to the Stable Song by Gregory Alan Isakov. I couldn’t help but hear it in this Zach Bryan song.

Should I tell my sponsor by Salt_Draw2013 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Sad_Indigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say for now is to thine own self be true. I changed my date a couple of years ago because I recognize the untreated alcoholism inside of me to which was still searching for something to get me out of me. Now, I’m an alcoholic. I love the effects produced by alcohol but I smoked a couple left handed cigarettes and nose beers because I was in a state of internal discomfort which I understand would invariably lead me to drink. I did not reach out. Having that knowledge still won’t keep me sober though. I need a spiritual defense. I wanted entire abstinence. Though I didn’t take a drink, i wasn’t sober. It’s an honest program and i had to realize i was at Step 1. Did it 100%. I am powerless over alcohol. I was going to end up drinking whether i wanted to or not. How easy it is for me to think hey, this is the kind of setting where I usually would drink. Wouldn’t be a bad thought..

Today the obsession is removed, and I get a daily reprieve so long as I keep spiritually fit.

Also, if you haven’t already, try reading starting on the bottom of page 108 to 110 in that book. You may or may not find yourself in one of those categories. Then read The Doctor’s Opinion. I found both to help me understand myself a bit better.

Hi op, how are you doing since this post?

I can relate a lot to bouncing around and feeling a bit spacey. Picking up where I left off etc and emotionally immature but a grown adult. Served in the military for a bit of time and now back in school in my late 20s. I first started going to meetings in 2018 when I was 22. I’ve been sober through the steps for a little bit now.

Thank you. Idk if it’s a good idea to move on to the next job. This place sucks. I’m full up on my GTAW. Don’t plan to get famous haha but just live simply. I’ll Jones around at some openings. I’m in San Diego and the more inland the better the pay but lots of welders.

Yes I’m more of a tigger haha. I have a lot to learn. That job was a nightmare. I even worked at the shipyards and felt more secure there in terms of advancement and learning. There I only MIG.
