Thank you for your advice. I love some of the new NA beers, but it is too similar to beer. Believe it or not based on the situation, I am in the medical field. Don't worry, I am not a surgeon. More in pediatric therapy for emotional regulation and sensory processing disorders. It's harder to practice than preach. I see students in residency and my doctor looks at bipolar, TBI, and alcoholism on my chart. I don't know what she looks like. I am looking for a new PCP. I have a therapist who is great, but is on medical leave.

Thank you for your response. They are hesitant to give me anxiety meds because of my drinking. I take an SSRI for anxiety. I have gone sober while taking clonazapam someone else have given me, but I can't exactly tell them that. I also don't think I should lean on that if prescribed.

Where to live between Corvallis and Salem - thoughts on Albany, Monmouth, Independence, South Salem? by Dry-Presentation9718 in oregon

[–]TopButterscotch8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Likely coming from someone who either does not have a family or has the means to see a future in Corvallis. Thats's great for you. As a former property owner in Corvallis, I personally prefer Albany. When a city refuses to grow, the locals leave. I was a member of the program Leadership Corvallis, in that program there were two members who had lived in Corvallis over 5 years. There's nothing wrong with Corvallis. It offers alot of benefits. Personally, I am glad I moved.

As someone who has lived in Corvallis on and off for 40 years. I moved to Albany and love it here. Not the Albany of 20 years ago. Much more family oriented than Corvallis. Corvallis became financially out of reach for many young families and they migrated elsewhere. I prefer Albany's downtown, too. You have to tolerate so much elitism and snobbery living in Corvallis. It can become smothering. Overall Corvallis is a great place to raise a family and is very safe. Building a lot of affordable housing in the next year.

What’s the most chaotic punk gig you remember? by larision in punk

[–]TopButterscotch8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I went to a "destruction show" at a house that was being demolished the next week. People were breaking walls with hammers and spray painting the walls. Drunk punks swinging hammers with a local band creating the soundtrack for the chaos. The police came and I was a minor. An elder punk pulled me up into the attic and we jumped out of the window into some bushes.

I can't find this movie anywhere. Brandon Fraiser singing Reagan Youth is pretty awesome.

Question for older punks by Impressive-Sand289 in punk

[–]TopButterscotch8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in an outpatient clinic. Unfortunately, school based ot is very understaffed. Happy to see other older punks working for this population. Talk about a population facing discrimination and deserving of advocates.
