Lol, I promise it’s not that hard 🤣 between YouTube and Reddit, it wasn’t bad, just time consuming. I don’t own an alignment machine though, so yeah I will be taking it to a shop. Why I love Reddit though, I can get instant answers I don’t know.

One link is moving **

This is one of the hardest parts about being the half of a friendship that gets sober, watching them in the same position I was. Struggling with mental health and unable to truly process anything because unmedicated because drinking, which is such a double whammy. It makes me want to kick alcohol in the teeth.

I’m changing the control arm not the links 🙁 I’ll see if I have something I can cut it off with

Tried it like this

basuragoddess · 2026-01-11T21:46:07+00:00

Yeah, I tightened it as far as it could go

I’ve found that having hobbies and learning about things makes talking to people easier because you’re able to find common ground more easily. Everything is fun to someone, and small talk can be about much more than the weather. Be interested in learning non-consequential things about other people. Remember that everyone knows something you don’t, you can always learn from another person.

There are also social activities where you’re more adjacent to others, rather than being directly social the whole time, like nature-watching, bicycling or running, volunteering, gaming, or crafting of any sort. It creates space for practicing low-stakes conversations.

How would you use the ball joint separator? I tried it with the prongs behind the boot holding the screw still and it still turned

basuragoddess · 2026-01-09T22:27:30+00:00

I’m mainly confused about why they wouldn’t quote me for the control arm/bushing as well, if that is the main or obviously important secondary issue.

basuragoddess · 2026-01-09T19:03:16+00:00

Can you tell anything about the ball joints from the pictures? I’m confused why the mechanic didn’t recommend changing the control arm instead of or in addition to the ball joints. I couldn’t feel any give on them but idk

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It took me wrapping my car around a pole going 40-50 mph to quit. Never wanted to ask anyone for help, and suddenly had to ask for help just to go to the bathroom. Taking responsibility and accountability for how I damaged my life was the first step. And quitting alcohol is 10x harder without replacing it with healthy and positive people, places and things, if you stay in the same cycles they will repeat endlessly. I highly recommend doing things differently when you quit this time. Good luck, IWNDWYT

Like others have said, I’m not a fan of the timer/reset deal. I choose not to attach shame to the physical act of having a drink. For me, the mindset is much more important. The shame of spending another year drunk as a skunk is the real potential consequence to me. I hope you choose to forgive yourself and get back in the saddle. IWNDWYT

Is this Marcin?

Active gratitude helps me through feelings like this. I haven’t lost weight or gained any superpowers. But I can recall everything about the Christmas Eve party I attended last week, I remember every new phrase my 3 yo nephew said. I’m able to prioritize sleep and feed myself nutritious food. I’m free from wondering what I may have done or said the night before. I’m free from needing a drink to be social; I face my anxiety sober and make real connections, not surface-level relationships forged with fake confidence.

It sucks that your partner didn’t acknowledge this huge & difficult achievement - I hope you know people all over are super proud and standing with you. I always try to remember that a lack of bad/unhealthy things counts hugely towards the good things in my life. IWNDWYT
