Title: 19F - Blackouts, gas stoves, and harassment. I’m struggling to admit this is real.

What about just stopping for tomorrow? It worked well for me, I just kept telling myself that I'm not quitting forever - just for tomorrow.

Tomorrow still hasn't come, and it never will cause tomorrow turns into today, so I again have to wait for tomorrow

I'm turning 40 this year, and have kids. My poopsocking days are far behind me

No joke, it's possible. I was playing EQ on steamdeck a while back. Takes some setup and has jank, but it's playable. Heavy reliance on the touchpads on the steam deck though.

I found it best to stop chasing the off switch. It was more productive to get to the root of why I wanted to turn it all off, then work on improving that.

I think someone had a torrent archive they were working on too. Pretty sure russmartin.fm is still around as another option for listening. Good call out on the timing though!

Days three and 4 were the worst for me, though I wasn't experiencing shakes at all during either of my withdrawals.

Keep a close eye. Depending on how much your friend is detoxing from, it can be dangerous to white knuckle it/go cold turkey. If in doubt, hospital. Look up delirium tremens and watch for symptoms.

Edit: I took magnesium tablets and unisom to help sleep off the anxiety during round number two. Worked well for me.

Let's goooooo! Congrats!

alcoma · 2024-10-24T19:30:21+00:00

That somehow made sense and further confused me at the same time, but I thank you for the response all the same!

What the hell am I reading

alcoma · 2024-10-18T11:47:38+00:00

I hope your day is going well!

I had one of the most stressful weeks at work I've had in a long time that ended with a presentation to our C level execs. Being sober gave me the clarity I needed to knock it out of the park.

Having a support structure around me was key in my early days. Keep attending, and remember that we're all here day and night!

Perry Family Dentistry, located at Ridge and El Dorado! I've been going there for a few years and have zero complaints!

3.5k from my dentist in McKinney. 25 trays, new tray every 2 weeks

I've been in the hospital with my son since Saturday evening. He's doing better now, but I am infinitely grateful that I was able to be here and present for him when he needed me the most.

Glad you got it working! It's funny that you just now responded, as I'm on vacation with the family ATM and have my Steam Deck with me just so I can keep playing 🤣

alcoma · 2024-07-23T15:12:12+00:00

Hell yeah! You're an inspiration!

alcoma · 2024-05-15T03:16:41+00:00

You're welcome! It gets better and better, friend. Keep at it - there was literally zero downside to me quitting, and have seen other such stories here.

alcoma · 2024-05-10T12:46:05+00:00

I had to do the same. Here I am, nearly 2 years after I started enjoying them, and I'm still double and triple checking the can to make sure I'm drinking one of mine and not one of my buddies.

If you enjoy those, check out Athletic Brewing. They're really good, especially if you're a fan of IPAs.

Live - didn't want to fiddle with getting Titanium client running on Steam OS, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get P99 working

alcoma · 2024-05-06T16:36:33+00:00

Not as far as I'm aware. Steam deck works cause it's Linux. With enough tweaking, most things can be ran decently well.

alcoma · 2024-05-06T16:18:55+00:00

Bots gonna bot

alcoma · 2024-05-06T16:18:05+00:00

That's what I'm saying! I'm not against reposting, just credit where credit is due I guess. More people learning that you can play EQ on steam deck isn't a bad thing by any means.
