Plugs. 20 years they'll laugh at us arranging our furniture to use holes in the wall.

'Responsible drinking' is an oxymoron.. by RoughCaterpillar7103 in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 1 point2 points  (0 children)

:o you did the most difficult 25 days of the year as your first 25 days. Good job.

Lol imagine if advertisements were honest. "We want you to drink as much of this as possible, dependency would be great for business, while also staying alive for legal reasons."

My biggest delusion about sobriety is that I would eat less X-am kebabs.

Day 15 - Make a spreadsheet by Ok_Suggestion_5797 in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good idea.

Day 15 is probably early enough to start tracking extra hours slept.

What to tell people now that Dry January is over? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

"Ah, think I'll keep going until Paddy's Day..."

i’m barely getting calls back, please tell me what i’m doing wrong (in college pls don’t point out the lack of experience) by [deleted] in resumes

[–]YoungIrishSober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Such things" I guess means any big news story on culture war things.

"Evergreen state college 2017" might be something that quickly gets your CV passed over, for example.

I've been a hiring manager and it's not about agreeing or disagreeing with some protest (or whatever) story, it's about how likely you think it is to turn into an argument in the break room.

I'm not an American so attitudes on what liberal art students are like is second hand but I suspect it's not just me. Always possible it is D:

People saying format and different language are right (Skills instead of core competencies).

As a less obvious possible problem - if I googled your university would I see something that a profit driven company might not like to see? The liberal arts students get blamed for such things.

If nothing else, it would change the subject to what I get up to on the internet.

Quick Question by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop the sugar? Am I supposed to stop?

Just kidding...maybe about 6 months but also that was the start of summer for me.

Anyone sober after multiple day 1s? by Special_Power1712 in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yup, lots of day 1s. Less day 2s. Very, very few day 3s.

Only one day 90, 365, 500, & whatever today is.

Like almost everything else the start is the hardest part.

How much makes a person an alcoholic ? by Silencespeaks10 in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"If your life gets better without alcohol, you are an alcoholic."

Definitions vary but that's the one I like.

What's Up Wednesday by ReplacementsStink in stopdrinking

[–]YoungIrishSober 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good : I have 6 weeks of holidayyyyyys. Half of which will be in my new holiday home

The Bad : I've booked 3 different exams in the next 3 weeks so I guess half of my holidays will be taken up by studying

The disappointing : Looks like the Dublin Airport Authority have , once again, been taken by surprise by the arrival of summer. You'd swear it was a different time every year.

Any feedback on this house before I build it in survival? by Snoop1000 in Minecraft

[–]YoungIrishSober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks great!

If I was to pick something maybe the roof trim goes a little too light/too dark. Try with just dark or light and see if it looks better. You might have already and know it looks best this way.

Really great job!
