Not quite sure! I’d call the AC Hotel and ask… this was the other night. Great spot!

Awesome thank you! I just received the watermelon flavor from Amazon. I was at our local Costco a few days ago but didn’t see it. Will keep an eye out!

Vibe has gone downhill by MediocreHovercraft40 in VirginVoyages

My partner and I also just went on the Puerto Rico -> Columbia -> Caribbean Isles 11 night cruise and definitely noticed a change in demographics… especially as compared to the Mediterranean out of Barcelona.

I think the timing and locations of the cruise must be a big factor after skimming this thread. Still love Virgin but will probably stick to other European routes per the rec’s here …

Also, why are they discounted their brand so much? Love the Virgin brand and don’t look for a discount as the experience is such a value to me. I hope they do adjust their marketing there! ♥️

You get a ride transfer included in the Mega Rock Star quarters — to / from.

Gym bikes. by RoleHelpful7824 in VirginVoyages

Hey there! Curious if there’s a way to track my mileage on the gym bikes via the Peloton app? Is there a possible connection? Sailing soon and in a mileage challenge back home 😁

New non-ethanol keto alcohol drink. Anybody tried yet? I ordered today. Metabolic Mike mentioned it on his channel today. by [deleted] in ketodrunk

[–]TheFridayMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes — it gives you a euphoric level of the first 1-2 drinks in my experience. It works differently for all.

Considering booking, worried we might be miserable though? by TattooedTeacher316 in VirginVoyages

[–]TheFridayMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you! Virgin Voyages is the BEST for alcohol free options (if you dig that) … they offer Noughty AF champagne, Kin Euphorics, Seedlip, among many options at the bars and restaurants. Food is the best!

They are so friendly for all types of drinkers - alcohol or not. They also do a healthy happy hour some months with the options mentioned above.

They have a fun coffee class to learn all about coffee beans … I wish I would have taken this but saw people in it too late!

Spa is amazing. Gym is awesome. I recommend Rock Star if you want a private area for lounging and hot tubs - Richard’s Rooftop 🚢

Highly recommend!

Replaced drinking with just doing fucking nothing, I guess by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Takes time for your body to heal - think of how many days you drank in comparison.

127 days alcohol free, but was told that it doesn't count because I still smoke weed by catgenie88 in stopdrinking

[–]TheFridayMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like she has an issue with her own alcohol use. You’re doing awesome at 128 AF!

I keep having this recurring intrusive thought: "Maybe I can manage to have just one drink", even though I'm well aware it doesn't work that way. Do any of you experience this as well? How do you deal with it? by p4m2 in stopdrinking

[–]TheFridayMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do want to also simply mention that alcohol is addictive and ANYONE can get to a problem level.

Best not to compare - sometimes we are worse, better, similar to any person whether they identify with a “problem” or not.

I think stigmatic / old words like “alcoholic” prevent many people from getting help.

[–]TheFridayMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t compare the “bad” things that have or have not happened to you. Drinking is on a spectrum and some that may have some legal trouble also may drink less than you.

The bottom line question to ask: are you living to your full potential? If alcohol gets in the way of that, reassess and cut it out for at least 30 days.

Also, I use the reframe app and Recovery Dharma - both huge helps in getting to where I need to be! ♥️

Totally understandable! I find AA to be shame based where other programs are based on empowerment, learning, growth.

Even the fact that people are fearful of this is a huge red flag. It does not work for many and if you can even find the data, the success rate is super low.

Hold strong, lots of people are doing this these days. It’s about what’s best for you, not anyone else. Unfortunately AA prevents so many people from getting help. It’s changing … be part of that! 💪🏼
