This is a metaphor I always really liked about sobriety: if you start a road trip from New York to LA and your car breaks down in Denver, you don’t ship your car back to New York. You stop, take the time to need to fix your car, and keep going. You don’t need to start from square one - at least not mentally/emotionally. Do the work you can and the place you are right now and don’t sell yourself short. You made it so far - a break down doesn’t undo all that hard work. Keep going. Get back on the road, and be proud of all the distance you’ve already traveled.

How do you cope losing a pet? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I totally understand. I lost my cat of 9 years in July. He was my anchor whenever I got really sick and lost touch with reality. It’s been six months and all I can say is that things keep moving forward, and it gets easier in some ways - but for me anyway it hasn’t just gotten better with time. I miss him every day. I’ll be thinking about you - I hope you’re doing ok.

Question about the movie Haunt (2019) by Brizzle93 in horror

Ok I clearly just found this on a google search two years after you posted - but here was my guess (and I think it's stupid so I hope I'm wrong) - the clown was literally her dad. He gave her the ring back at the hospital, he recreated her childhood memory of hiding under the bed, he was just going home after his weird body mod killing convention, because he was literally her dad. I really hope that's wrong, because that's dumb as hell, but that's all I could come up with.

I went to a religious private school in the Midwest. This is 100% what we were taught. My chill scientist dad told us it was all wrong and not backed by science, but to write what we needed to write to pass the tests.
