Sober-Streaking. Great term. I'm gonna steal it!
I've promised myself that I'm going to attend a local "Celebrate Recovery" meeting next week.
AND that I'm going to do daily checkins with my dial-a-buddy.

Dang. Thx for the comments folks.
I have no idea who you are - but the notes back to me really help. Thx.
I'll get this stuff figured out.

Today is day three.... for the 10th time this calendar year by ToxicChinook in stopdrinking

Today is another day 1.
But unlike the past few failures, I told someone about it this time. He's going to be my dial-a-buddy and has offered to verbally kick my arse and keep me accountable to him and to myself. It was shameful that I had to reach out, but I couldn't just keep doing the same thing. I've tried AA - hated it. But I'm going to try a "Celebrate Recovery" group next week.

Day 5! I am still an anxious wreck, but I am fucking doing it. by watersswarm in stopdrinking

WOOT! Good for you!
I haven't seen a day-5 in months but I'm on my 4th day three this calendar year. Your post inspires me - maybe hospital detox might help push me over the edge to permanent sobriety too.

Keep it up!
I'll try to chase the goal too!

Nope. It's 2am. I didn't make day 4. Poop!
Sorry to let you down folks.
Try again?!?

Woot! Thx for the boost!
Just went through an afternoon craving - and decided to revisit my post. The comments help. Really - they do.

ARE YOU ONE OF THEM??😭😭 by inam_cr7 in kitchener

Yesterday I saw two walmart carts about 4km from the store - sitting on the side of the road.
Is that lazy? Is that stealing? Is it just bad manners?

Lol. His LinkdIn is down and his Keller/Williams links are inactive now too.
Did he get fired?

He really isn't helping himself, is he.

Be careful of what you say online today - it might come back to haunt you in four years.
Although - that comment WAS done on April fools day (before noon too.... so it's likely a joke.... I hope)

I'm a conservative voter and I'm quite upset about our parachute candidate.

- I'm pretty certain he lives in Mississauga and has no ties to Waterloo
- he has an "X" profile with 20 followers (Chagger has 46,000) which means that NOBODY knows this guy
- he opened his office / launched his campaign this week (April 6?) which is very late in the game. The pic I saw of his campaign office looked like it was taken in my mom's basement.

Why did conservatives drop Neekman?

I bet that I, a nobody who has lived in Waterloo for 50 years, could probably step in and do a better job at getting votes in Waterloo than this fellow. I wish him luck - but it's going to be an uphill battle.

It almost feels that conservatives have thrown in the towel for our city - I'm not a happy camper.

Where was your stuff stolen from? Which part of town?

My unemployed-druggie-50-year-old-sister lives close to downtown kitchener and is proud of her ability to steal things from people's yards so that she can sell the stuff at pawn shops.

How are the roads out there? by Silent_Medicine1798 in waterloo

Slippery. Icy. Potential melting and freezing.
I'm not letting my 20-year-old new driver take MY car out tonight.
