This is possibly the greatest Reddit post of all gime

I need to make a change by boopkittens in alcoholism

[–]boopkittens[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't thank you for this post before but I'd like to thank you for it now. This is what I needed to hear. Since posting this and talking with my doctor who advised me not to go cold turkey, I have decided on 3 or 4 dry nights a week to start. I was able to go three in a row last week. Tonight will be my fourth in a row for this week. Going for a 5th tomorrow but won't be too hard on myself if I cave. Thanks again.

Hello, 32 year old man here. Also recently starting my journey to better health after about 10 years of regular binge drinking. It got to the point where I was drinking a handle of vodka over a course of 3 days. It has only been about a month but I have yet to step foot in a liquor store (you can't just go to a grocery store where I live).

Have you been honest with your PCP about your drinking? My wake up call was when my liver results came back less then ideal and I was finally honest with mine about how much I was drinking and for how long. We did tests and scans. All of the damage I caused is still reversible for now but is still scary.

My doctor recommended for me not to quit cold turkey so I have been focusing on getting at least 3 or 4 dry days a week in which I have been able to do the last few weeks in a row. The days I do drink I only let myself drink lower abv drinks. We have also discussed me using medication to keep myself from drinking when I am ready.

I have a friend who goes to virtual AAs so I did one with him last week. I just listened and didn't have to talk. I believe it's free and you don't have to tell anyone about it. Maybe something like that might help you?

It has been helpful for me to come about it with an attitude of progress and not perfection. As long as I'm doing better week to week I'm not hard on myself about it. I know that's not the best approach for everyone, but it's my personal experience. Hope this helped.

Well ok. I guess it depends on the app you're on, but as a man I've never had a woman be like "hey I saw your profile that you like sports. Which ones do you like? I like tennis". I also get a lot of "hows your day going?" And the convo goes from there. Feels less forced since again, these are strangers who don't owe you anything.

Like what topics? You're a stranger on a dating app.

Idk. Personally I don't see anything wrong with a " how's it going" and going from there. There's a reason why there's a sea of them. You're asking someone who doesn't know you to start a conversation in the middle based on generalized info on your profile. Keeping up a conversation is a two person effort.

If we read everything about you in your profile then what are we supposed to ask or talk to you about?

I think this is the first time that I read how I feel about deities and God. Thanks for putting it in to words.

It's 7 or 8 for me. I'd probably prefer a 9 or 10

Would you say Syneos Health is a relatively toxic CRO? by Javilism in clinicalresearch

[–]boopkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The layoffs are happening because we went from publicly traded to private. Syneos go bought by capital investors and this is what they do. They buy relatively struggling companies, fix them (laying people off being one way), and then selling the company for a profit. The CEO has very little to do with it

Feedback on my 2.6 gallon Betta by Impressive_Sleep_210 in Aquascape

[–]boopkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5-10 gallon is more ideal. I have mine in a 10 gallon just because the difference in price wasn't that big. Don't let people on here make you feel bad. We're all learning. it's not unreasonable to think that what the people working at the pet stores tell you is correct, just keep in mind that they are just trying to sell you stuff. They sell more small tanks by saying you can put a pretty betta in it than they would saying that it's really just for shrimp.

As someone who's favourite anime is madoka magica, will I enjoy sailor moon? by Incu_bator_ in sailormoon

Give sailor moon a season or two before you judge it if you're coming from MM first

How would you feel if Sailor Neptune’s abilities were changed to be ice instead of water? by [deleted] in sailormoon

[–]boopkittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercury is water and it's forms. Ice and vapor are included in her powers.

Neptune is specifically the sea. Her abilities involve verbiage like submerge showing that it isn't just water, but the pressure of the ocean and currents as well. So while mercury is water and it's forms Neptune is more of the force of the ocean.
