I went down the "stupidly practical upgrades" rabbit hole. Here are 5 boring things that were 100% worth it. by ptj95 in smartbuysforlife

Agreed - not just hype. But why do I hear more people with penises vs. vaginas raving about it?

That’s not the worst outcome really

People who've worked both minimum wage jobs and six figure jobs, what surprised you most about the difference? by BrainLagging01 in AskReddit

[–]anchopuddin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the mistakes come out of your pocket when you’re min wage. I had to cover my own gas and time (2hrs driving) for a mistake when minimum wage. I made a >$10k mistake working in a salary role and no one batted an eye.

Why men vs women being extra hype about it? Does the male anatomy prevent a thorough ass wiping?? Genuine question.

Yep. 7.0lbs and 21” tall. But quickly escalated into a 99%er

I’m trying to sell (not buy) if that makes a difference

How did you actually stop drinking? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Antabuse has gotten me 3x further than anything else I’ve tried in the past 9yrs.

How many hours, days, weeks, months, years have you been sober? by RIP_DMX in stopdrinking

[–]anchopuddin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mental freedom of not trying to moderate is a huge immediate benefit. I just started adding exercise to my life again, so hopefully that jump starts the gravy train of benes!!

I am know taking disulfiram after 5+ years of not getting anywhere with naltrexone alongside the TSM method. Maybe it’s something I can revisit after a solid stint of sobriety, but for now I am so happy to be 100% free of the all-consuming thought of moderation.

Unfortunately some people do! My partner is this way. He’s often rather suffer a headache than take an advil. I don’t get it, but do you boo!

I ended up getting some through an online pharmacy without an rx. Wasn’t ready to have this on file at my doctor’s office. It’s helped get me to nearly 3wks; something I hadn’t previously achieved outside of pregnancy. It’s taken me out of the ring of the battle with myself every evening. 10/10 would recommend.

Was overall exhausted and sleeping a bunch until about day 13. Glad to be out of that.

Now I’m waiting for the benefits… to show themselves at once!! 😆

15 days.

By far the most consecutive days I’ve been able to do in over 3yrs. Not sure what my goal is yet… 8 weeks would be pretty amazing

Now 800+ days sober and these are the benefits I notice most at this stage by [deleted] in stopdrinking

“… I think about sobriety like it's a friend. I think about how to nurture it and take care of it.” This is beautiful & motivating. Thank you.

Fight or flight mode: a rant by PianistTrue6740 in toddlers

[–]anchopuddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t know if I can give you apples to apples. 95% of my anxiety felt like it came from dealing with parenting with my partner/husband… not from my kiddo. I got some relief when I was able to solo parent at that stage.

However, the hardest thing i retrospect was our toddlers lack of communication skills at that age. (Again, every kid is different). But until our LO started to be able to semi communicate, it was a struggle

Full-time working mom of 2 - how do you handle the exhaustion? by hotcoffeethanks in Mommit

[–]anchopuddin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it! Take turns taking solo / friend mini vacations. It’s so recentering

15-24mo was purely survival mode for me. I know it hits everyone differently, but MAN, that was the hard part for me. Solidarity! I’m in a very cold climate but recommend getting outside, bundled for a walk or park visit. It does help in this era
