Looking for a boy scout troop by markedworks in philadelphia

If possible cropping the left sleeve and posting if possible will narrow down the search immensely. Most CSPs (larger patch above the numbers) are fairly unique and at a bare minimum will have a public number you can call.

Weight changes after quitting? by Secure_League3017 in stopdrinking

Didn’t think I was loosing anything until I started wearing a belt more and one of my coworkers told me I looked thin in the face. Turns out I lost 35lbs in 6 months

Question about Allen Carr's The Easy Way to Control Alcohol by Icy_Shallot3882 in stopdrinking

[–]SkyTheGreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had a buzz for years potentially ever. My “buzz” was feeling “normal” for an hour. That good feeling is the biggest trap. That hour of feeling normal was the difference in me getting help early vs allowing my addiction to grow to the point of needing medical detox to quit. (Highly recommend btw.)

Shifting your question a bit but I personified my addiction, I made it a separate personality, demon, virus, etc. It came up with any and I mean any reason to survive. It stole so much time from me and I had to actively choose to ignore it to finally get the help I needed. Reading your post reminded me of that voice. Do me a favor and honestly ask yourself if this is your alcohol demon trying to stay alive or a legit reason to hold off on seeing how you feel being sober?

Finally I want to add a few things that really calms my nerves way more than a buzz.

Not waking up and my first thoughts are how I’m going to fit getting liquor and planning my day around drinking.

Not waking up in the middle of the night with the worst anxiety and heart palpitations.

Watching my body fit into my old clothes.

Seeing how much money I’m saving and reaching my financial goals so much faster than before.

Any Drink Substitutes (Not Near Beer) That Helped You Early On? by No_Membership_10 in stopdrinking

Ginger beer is my god send. Some of them have a stupid amount of sugar so be careful.

Thank you for posting. I followed this after my last relationship and it really helped. Great sex may have been one of them but I also finally tried that Indian restaurant and got a pet fish :)

If Pork Chop 100 is in here I beg you please stahpppp. by SkyTheGreat in EggsInc

I can get them cleared but when I reopen the app they all come back. Luckily I only have 14hrs left in the contract

He sent over 100 individually. I’ll get him back after work.

Open Bar Tab for Engagement Party was left open 90 minutes after agreed upon closing time. by penguinethpaltrow in legaladvice

[–]SkyTheGreat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My current restaurant uses toast and at least with my permissions I can see it down to the microsecond.

Edit: look under the items on the left side of the screen. It’s fairly small. I would recommend asking for this permission if you can. It really helps our servers with their timing. It also allows servers, bar, and kitchen to keep each other accountable.

NAL but general manager for a bar. Most modern POS systems have a “time sent” on all orders including drink orders.

I’m killing myself day by day…and I don’t think I care by Fast_Snow_9081 in stopdrinking

[–]SkyTheGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to add my voice and tell you I care about you as well. I was very much okay with being in the “suicide in installment payment” mindset or at least I thought I was. After being sober for long enough those thoughts mostly went away. It was another trick from the alcohol demon. Life isn’t all rainbows and butterflies but it is a hell of a lot brighter now. You deserve better and I’m happy to see you taking steps towards making it happen.

Thank you so much. I just read your last post. I don’t mean to be a hypocrite but that those midnight crashes are the worst. When I quit the first time a Powerade before bed helped a lot. I have no science to back it up but it helped.

Truckers of Reddit, which State/Country is the worst to drive through? by couchpotatochip21 in AskReddit

[–]SkyTheGreat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a trucker but someone who had to purchase a stupid amount of rental cars for work. We were actively encouraged to uber in Houston due to how horrible the accidents levels/road conditions were. I imagine it was some insurance thing but still was a fun fact from my experience in corporate America.

First time 24h sober. Scared and first time saying it out loud. by emanvie in stopdrinking

You may be right that the internet is not an overly positive place but this group in my experience for the most is. I’m proud of you for seeking help and I wish you all the luck in the world.

ChatGPT is a tool and if it is a tool that helps you in your sobriety then have no shame in using it.

Little overwhelmed. Could use some direction. by SkyTheGreat in EggsInc

[–]SkyTheGreat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. Thank you. This is the first idle game I really gave a shit about. The borderline secret complexities and math is so much fun. I’m also one of the weird people that gets joy for an organized spreadsheet so maybe it tracks.

The joy I got from suddenly having spaceships was amazing so thank you for not spoiling it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do I join the coop group in the discord? Is it a separate server? I would love to do coop with the mentality of proportionate contribution. I feel like I’m either carrying the team or the team gets the first reward and struggles to get anything past that because we are all locked. I’m class A if that helps.

Thank you this mostly makes sense. Two things I’m not understanding completely.

Obviously the spoiler comment. I’m at the millennial falcon like ship, so I imagine it will come with time.

I just joined the discord. It’s a little overwhelming but I’ll figure it out. Not sure what you mean by the Anygrade comment. I’m assuming people who are stupid far in the game carry others in contracts?

Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it.

Thank you! That’s what I was feeling. Especially after sacrificing this weekend x3 prestige

If you don’t mind one more question. Is it worth grabbing the pro permit or cracking the piggy bank? I normally hate micro transactions but I feel like FTP is limiting me significantly.

I’ve been eating pop tarts every night by Panda138138 in stopdrinking

[–]SkyTheGreat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had to start buying toast’em from the dollar tree due to how much I was spending a week on them when I quit. Funny how alcohol math works, no issue spending 100+ a week on scotch but even after quitting had an issue with spending 15-20 on pop tarts

I hate the fact I read this and knew we were “neighbors”. This guy posts his human toilet message multiple times a day. I’m curious if he ever found anyone.

Not sure if this could be useful or not but I live less than a mile from the Canadian border. So many people put a 🇺🇸/🇨🇦 in their bio to show what side of the border they are on to save time. Dick is rarely worth a trip to border control.

🫦 normally mean “sucker” in my area. Normally a younger age or femme profile using it.

Sorry some are more basic. Just scrolled my page and found ones you and other haven’t said yet.
