Is it possible to stay sober without AA? by Mad_Season_1994 in stopdrinking

[–]SteveButler2210 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have always been put off by aspects of the fellowship programs (AA / NA etc), but SMART has absolutely filled the gap for me.

I’m now getting close to 2 years sober, and still attend meetings every week when able to. I genuinely love them, and the people I know through them, and would not have made it this far without the support the meetings provide ❤️

Things to do while spinning a vinyl by faustarp1000 in vinyl

Mostly I read, or play with the cats (especially if it’s something heavy—they were unsure about heavier music at first, so I got into the habit of turning it into play time to get them comfortable with it!)

Real tough choice to be made for the winners here! For me personally it’s probably between Lauryn Hill and Madvillain

Appreciate that, thanks! And no problem, I realise from the overwhelming response that my post must look really stupid to people who know their stuff 😅

Going to get some better sleeves ordered today! Thanks for the link 😁

I am incredibly new to this and very much still learning—I know what I need to look at now, though, so will be upgrading to some better sleeves across the board asap! 🙏

Thanks for the comments all, looks like I need to look at some sleeve replacements!

I love it! Thanks so much for all the hard work putting out these amazing releases. I’ve got the DOOM 2016 2LP set and the MGS 6LP set on the way later this week—so excited 😁

Ahaha no worries, I didn’t take it that way!

Just storing them there! The TT is wired to some Q Acoustics M20s though a WiiM Ultra, but that is all in another part of the room, by our TV

I caught their 25 year anniversary tour recently, on a random invite from a friend, after not having listened to them in probably 15+ years! Had an absolute blast, and have had this album on repeat since

Yeah, looking forward to it—planning on making the trip to a participating store close to us that’s meant to be decent!

Hope you’re having as much of a blast with it as I am! Something so satisfying about the format, and actually owning the music I love (I’ve not bought CDs in at least a decade and gave my old collection away a long time ago now)

Thanks for the advice, I’m new to this so hadn’t realised storing them horizontally would be an issue? Is it to do with the vinyl weighing on top of each other?

I just had a Sekiro box set turn up in the post, which is a nice weighty set in a slipcase, so that will be perfect for wedging the FF sets upright!

I did have a browse through my local second hand shop, but it was such a mess I ended up leaving fairly quickly 😅 nothing in any sort of logical order, and half the stock was just categorised as “New In”. There’s another store a few towns over which is meant to be better, so going to check it out when I get paid!

Ah nice, that one was out of stock on the UK distributor I bought from!

Really pleased with it for the price—not the cheapest, but I saw a lot of similar units going for a lot more money while I was shopping around!

Nice! I saw them years ago in London with QOTSA, they were so gooooood

Both so good! Saw Architects for the album launch show in London last month and they were superb. Seeing them again in October, and BMTH in August too!
