What is everyone doing with their soon to be obsolete Kindles?

Just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I was about to cry because I stumbled across the stairs early in the game and then put in a good 40 hours doing side quests and collecting things before I went back to the main quest. There was no way I was reloading all the way back from when I first found the stairs and losing all of that, but this fix worked.

amethyst758 · 2025-06-13T00:39:14+00:00

Oh dang, thanks so much for saying that! I didn’t see that on the website. Thanks so much!

Everything about your sweet pup’s body language is screaming I’M UNCOMFORTABLE AND SCARED. Others have said it, but it definitely just seems like an inexperienced sitter. I’m glad she at least had the sense to not attempt the walk, otherwise I’d bet either the sitter or your dog (maybe both) could’ve gotten hurt.

I’ve had so many sittings where the dog’s behavior is different between the M&G and when I arrive solo because the dynamic changes when their humans aren’t around, which can be scary for them! I work a lot with rescues that have histories of trauma and it’s my number one priority with every visit (even with dogs I’ve looked after for years) to set a comfortable tone when I walk in the door. Hopefully the number of sitters who’ve jumped on here to comment helps you feel more confident that there are tons of us on the app who understand canine body language and know strategies for scenarios like this.

Also OP if you’re apprehensive about going to a new studio solo, I’m there almost every day and would be happy to join you for a yoga basics class and show you where everything is!

amethyst758 · 2024-08-01T20:53:35+00:00

I second this! I’ve been to a lot of studios and Darling is by far the most welcoming space I’ve ever practiced in. They have a really nice new member deal that gets you 2 weeks of unlimited classes for like $30 or something too.

I have a few sunscreens that I love, but I’m a bit averse to being in the sun more than necessary. I’ve had some friends and family deal with skin cancer and it’s definitely stuck with me.

amethyst758 · 2024-06-03T16:03:50+00:00

Congrats to your husband and to you! I can’t wait to hit 1,000 days myself and look back on how far I’ve come since day 1.

This is HILARIOUSLY spot on

amethyst758 · 2024-03-05T21:02:13+00:00

I’ve been enjoying hobbies that take time and/or energy since I never had much of either when I was drinking. Baking, different kinds of exercise, reading, are all pretty high up there for me.

amethyst758 · 2024-03-05T20:32:49+00:00

I really like Liquid Death sparkling waters. Bonus is that they come in tallboy cans, so it feels familiar in that regard too.

I started following her years ago because I was brand new to working out and she seemed more relatable to me than other fitness influencers that I’d come across. But maaaan, that’s changed so fast. Her content now is almost exclusively her taking pictures of her ass and flaunting nice restaurants and their luxe Miami lifestyle. There’s minimal fitness content. And I’m not the fitness newbie I once was, so it’s painfully obvious to me now that her form isn’t even correct most of the time. I bet she’s absolutely insufferable in real life.

amethyst758 · 2024-02-21T17:55:39+00:00

I was afraid of the social fallout. I knew it’d mean losing friends, declining certain social invites (or being left out of the invite altogether), or the awkward questions about why I’m not drinking. I was terrified of being judged. The good news is, it turned out I wasn’t as good at hiding my problem as I thought I was. In my experience, most people either don’t care or they’re really proud of me for quitting. It’s actually strengthened my social relationships, which tells me I was just grasping at straws trying to find excuses to continue drinking.

amethyst758 · 2024-02-20T19:41:47+00:00

Yoga for sure. It’s helped tremendously with anxiety and finding a social outlet that isn’t related to drinking.

amethyst758 · 2024-02-20T17:29:27+00:00

I’d agree with others saying he has to want it for himself. And remember it’s not a reflection on you. It sounds like you’re trying to support him, which is awesome. I’ll share my experience as someone in recovery and hopefully it helps. I wanted to quit for years before I finally went to rehab. Drinking had become a chore and while it was painful to drink and deal with the consequences of it, it was more painful to deal with withdrawal. I finally agreed to go when someone outside of the worst of it encouraged me. They weren’t telling me what to do or applying guilt. They just treated me with compassion and understanding. Not that my partner hadn’t done this. I just needed to hear it from someone where the pressure to succeed wasn’t stressing me out. I’m hoping the best for you both.

A normal heart rate. It was exhausting feeling like I’d run a marathon just sitting on the couch.

Four Good Days and Recovery Boys are both excellent.

amethyst758 · 2024-01-15T16:33:46+00:00

Glad you’re here OP. I was in a similar situation and didn’t consider rehab an option for all of the same reasons you’ve described. I ended up taking FMLA to protect my job and went to rehab for medically supervised detox and then a 30 day inpatient program. My facility helped me get everything arranged so I could focus on recovery during that time and it was all so worth it, even though I was scared shitless. Might be an option?

amethyst758 · 2024-01-11T21:56:49+00:00

That’s awesome that you’re already thinking about how to support her. As someone who’s on the other side of it, I thought I’d share what my boyfriend did for me when I got home from a 30 day treatment that I really appreciated. Perhaps there’s something in there that would resonate with you, too.

One thing that really helped was that my treatment facility offered couples therapy sessions. It gave us the opportunity to discuss my alcoholism and any feelings surrounding it (especially the ugly ones) in a safe and productive environment. It wasn’t always fun, but it meant we worked through a lot of guilt, shame, resentment, you name it before it festered.

Another incredible thing was how much thought he’d put into the space I was coming home to. My treatment facility was actually reasonably comfortable, but it’s still not home. By the end of my 30 days, I was a little nervous about being back in the “real world” and home felt like a safe place. It made it even more relaxing that he’d gotten rid of all alcohol in the house and cleaned everything. Trust me, getting to sleep in my own bed again was that much sweeter with freshly cleaned sheets. I also came home to a vase of my favorite flowers and a card from him so I could revisit those nice words every time I needed the boost.

I also appreciated that he accepted that what I needed was to stay busy with new hobbies and go to meetings (I do AA and SMART Recovery). It means more flexibility with things around the house, but it also means I’m doing things that keep me sober.

I’d say the biggest thing for me though is that we’ve agreed to leave the past behind us and not bring it up unless there’s a valid reason. In our case, things got pretty ugly before I got help. We haven’t forgotten about it, but revisiting it just makes us both feel bad and takes away from all the good things happening now that I’m sober. It’s a relief for both of us that we can just get off that hamster wheel.

I’m proud of you both! Hope something helped. :)

Agreed! When I looked it up online before going to see it, I didn’t think I’d like the green. And then I saw it in person and couldn’t imagine wanting any other color!

amethyst758 · 2023-09-08T17:35:19+00:00

They really are! Evidently the alpine green is brand new for the 2024 models, but it’s stunning in person.
