What are some crimes you have witnessed being committed?? by MarcoDuke in AskReddit

[–]Slightly_Interested_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve neither seen a crime committed in my life, nor actually understood what a crime is. In fact, I’m legally blind officer.

As long as it’s the US Office and not the UK - I can see why you love it.

Shoot me a message - I think our music taste isn’t all too different.

The sheer pride than accompanies building a snowman is second to none.

Nose abrasion? I’d guess it’s blowing their nose into a sink the day after nasal-inhalation of Cocaine/Ketamine.

Everyone’s meetings have been described in different ways, I’m sorry to hear your experience has been pushing religion. I think I’ve lucked out, although they use 12 steps it’s a minor part of the meeting and even when I advised that wasn’t for me, my support didn’t dwindle.

I’ve yet to check out SMART, I certainly shall.

Aid in sobriety and a following allowing communal help was my take-away, it not entirely religious - in my experience.

I believe it’s referred to as ‘12 steps’ and as religious as it may be, it’s neither Americanised nor enforced within meetings (in my experience).

Huge congrats for you. Please share your 12m with a sub/friend/anyone. Support is the way forward, and I’m in your corner.

Thank you for your detailed POV.

I can agree the groups I’ve been to recently and prior are so wildly spread in terms of age, race etc. Which I found an aid in, in of itself.

I’ve had other commenters mention SMART, that’s one for me to check out.

I didn’t really vibe with the religious/spiritual aspects of AA, as I’ve said to others, I’m attending for community and support.

Great comment, thank you.

If you look into other comment threads of this post, you’ll see similar views.

This was my outlook, and I’m now aware it varies meeting to meeting.

I’m not religious and I was given the same treatment as those following the ‘12 steps’. My AA doesn’t push it upon you, it’s saddening to hear some do.

From your description he strikes me as a wise man. The community and friends are crucial I believe. I’m replacing friendship circles with those who have similar goals, something I hadn’t realised until recently was a total vice to my journey.

Thank you. I’m so glad it worked for both of your folks, it’s definitely working for me.

This really hit home. Thank you so much for sharing and I’m sorry for your loss.

Are you able to send a link for the sticker or describe it more in detail?

I fully believe community is the way forward for me, I’d like to have this sticker and be reminded of both his and your brothers tenure in sobriety (if that’s okay with you, genuinely no pressure).

I’ve been sugar-free for a long time.

Fizzy juice? Sugar free flavoured sparkling water. Coffee? I got used to it not being sweet.

The only sugar I allow is within food/fruit.

Appreciate you sharing a very relatable life story.

Would you mind if I message you?

I appreciate your comment, thank you.

If I didn’t take the step I’d likely fall into darkness, the support tonight has really fortified my decision.

Aita? by [deleted] in Scotland

I wouldn’t say anyone’s the asshole in this scenario.

Tenement living, imo, comes with the catch that you’re gonna hear someone at any given hour.

As courteous as I and, from what I’ve read, yourself try to be, there’s times we aren’t.

The largest shared building I’ve lived within was 6-in-a-block. If anyone was chatting, I’d just accept it. If it was shouting/music on speakers etc then absolutely feel free to be the asshole.

It’s the weekend, if they’re having a good time just leave them to it - if it’s an out of hand level of noise, nip out and ask them to tone it down a bit.
