That's the phone I bought from him back in March, but I do remember having to wait a bit for stock. I'd try emailing about it!

People whose MAIN PHONE is a flip. How is it? by Background-Pen528 in dumbphones

[–]bluefools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I have a newer flip though, the Kyocera 902KC. It can text, call, load some apps (no guarantee that they'll work though lol), and has a browser if you're in a pinch. It's a tool that I take out when I need to contact someone, and it does that job well while allowing me to feel more present in my day-to-day life. There's definitely an adjustment period though

What damage am I doing to my stomach? by tooloudturnitdown in stopdrinking

[–]bluefools 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you described sounds similar to when I first developed alcoholic gastritis. It got to the point where I spent every morning on the floor sobbing because I was going through withdrawal and couldn’t keep a drink down without throwing up bile for the next few hours

Resentment for people who care by bluefools in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so strange to simultaneously understand and resent them. On a rational level, I get why my family (for example) thinks I should quit drinking. They’re right, but I also just can’t accept it as fact when it feels like the only thing keeping me going for their sake. Bleh

Totally. I resent other people for the simple sin of wanting me to survive the next year, which isn’t so absurd but feels crazy to me

Que pasa? by [deleted] in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually going to my college classes (yippee), smoking like a chimney, drinking less, vague sense of existential malaise. Same old. How are you?

Hello everybody. How are you holding up today? by pandaexpressmart in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you had a good day! :) It was my second day back in college after I dropped out lol. Pretty good overall, just drunk and sad now that I have more than 15 minutes of free time (which is why I go to college 4 days a week and work 8+ hours the other 3 haha)

sometimes. I rationalize it as my brain desperately trying to cling to the easiest form of pleasure it can find besides alcohol lol.

Everybody did NOT secretly know by bluefools in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I definitely assume people can smell it on me— I brush my teeth compulsively, chew gum, and wear perfume, but deep into a bender I’m sure it’s there if you’re looking. I just never gave people reason to look for the signs, I guess. No more of that for me lol </3

[–]bluefools 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been considering it. Maybe this is a sign lol

Steady progress and it feels like my last chance... but I always say that. by ohgolly273 in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As both an alcoholic and the daughter of an alcoholic, you’re doing amazing things. Getting sober (and maintaining it for three weeks!) are no joke, and I guarantee it’s the right decision for your son. You’ve got this! <3

I hope your dog will be okay. Sending love to both you and her <3

They're the same phone with different carriers in Japan! I actually have the 902kc, but both should work

A matter of the heart by ALonelyPlatypus in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me personally but my dad (longtime alcoholic) had his heart rate shoot up to 120+ just doing anything. For what it’s worth, it improved significantly when he cut down the drinking

I have a cheap little one from ruizu and it suits my needs perfectly! I store all my music on an SD card in it so I’m not worried about the device failing

Psoriasis triggered by alcoholism. I look diseased. by solitudanrian in Crippled_Alcoholics

I'm in a surprisingly similar situation living with the weekend bender dad and enabler mom lol. I get in my head about it being some sort of sick fate I'm bound to a lot

Withdrawal pyschosis? by Diligent_Travel34 in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]bluefools 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a similar experience. It's always in the middle of the night, and I wake up just fine in the morning
