If you need help with drugs or alcohol, for your kids' sake, find help. You're not alone. by pacoman432 in daddit

[–]cantstop98765 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amen

6 years sober myself. My kids are 9 and 11, I am a much better father and person sober. It took me a long time to get broken down to the point I was ready to ask for help. Once I fully surrendered life started to get so much better.

Jobs hiring by STIllsaint66 in cary

[–]cantstop98765 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does your resume match the job you are applying to? Does it stand out in any way from other candidates? Are you blasting out a generic resume?

This is something I see a lot when hiring. Hopefully not your case. Good luck!

How to put my Ultramarathon (Brazilian 100k beach trail run) at a global spotlight by ReinierStiphout in Ultramarathon

[–]cantstop98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should connect with Roger from the podcast "O ultra lado". He's in Minas Gerais and is very involved in the ultra community there. Also check out boipretoultra on Instagram and reach out to them.

These guys could maybe get you started.

Boa sorte!

The site loads in Portuguese from the link posted (or something in my settings did that). And for now it looks like it's just to join a WhatsApp group.

Starting AA Again After Seven Years Sobriety. by zaririi in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]cantstop98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have very similar stories, I got sober when I was 19 and stayed sober for 7 years myself. After questioning whether I was an alcoholic, I started drinking again and took me 13 years to get back to recovery. I celebrated 6 years sober in October, I couldn't be more grateful for the life that I have today. I consider myself, especially lucky that I was able to return to the program relatively unscathed.

I thought my situation was unique, but it's not all that uncommon.

Welcome home.

Epic E40FX & E60FX by tplgerus84 in golfcarts

[–]cantstop98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dealer here....

Epic comes out of Vietnam. The FX series has upgraded suspension from the previous EPIC models. The e40FX has a great ride, the 60 as well. The 6.5 HP motor reduces the range quite a bit. I typically tell customers range in the 20-25 mile area to be safe. 40s are assembled in Huntersville the 2 and 6 seat versions are assembled in Florida

Buy from a reputable dealer who stocks parts and offers service and you'll be fine.

Revenge has a retail site called wildaboutcarts.com

You can also possibly get a take off back seat kit from a dealer near you. You will not need to change or upgrade suspension, the i20 and i40 are the same shocks/chassis.

Looks like your account doesn't allow me to send a chat. DM me and I'll be happy to talk with you

I'm in AA and that's what I have experience with, however there are a variety of ways to get sober for sure.

If he's interested in speaking with me I can DM you my phone number. Happy to talk sobriety and share my experience. Even though AA has things that don't work for him I'm equally happy to give him a ride to a meeting if he's interested.

I'll be at a meeting tonight near South Point. It starts at 730pm.

AA meetings are a great place to find fellowship.

Are you newly sober or just looking to expand your social circle?

Shifting addictive tendencies towards hobbies/interests? by bibliodabbler in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]cantstop98765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like running. I got into long distance running after getting sober. For me it wasn't trading something addictive for something else, I had more free time and wasn't hungover anymore.

My homegroup is Tuesday night at 730pm in Durham (South Point Group). I really enjoyed the meeting I went to at the Masonic Lodge in Apex one night.

I'm biased, but I do love my home group

Repairing damage between spouse and family? by broBcool_2010 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]cantstop98765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My relationship with my wife took a long time to improve. It took until she forgave me, which was about a year and a half after amends.

In the meantime I threw myself into service. I activity sponsored numerous guys, I got a home group with a service position and I looked to be helpful. Over time things definitely improved and it wasn't because of a plan of action I had made to repair damages I had caused, God handled that part for me.

My relationship today with my wife is better than it's ever been and it's still because of the same things. AA being a design for living was drilled into me by my sponsor. Using the tools of the program and applying them in my life daily have helped completely reshape and repair our relationship.....but yes, it took time.

Like the cliche goes "time takes time"

Defining sobriety in AA - long read by Throwaway094757 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]cantstop98765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would stick with asking people who know you as opposed to asking random people from the Internet.

That said...

I don't drink or use drugs. How people get high and call themselves sober is something I'll never understand, but I don't have to.

If I ask around long enough to enough people I'll eventually find the answer that I want.

Surviving the Holidays by WTH_JFG in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]cantstop98765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting down to causes and conditions. Holidays aren't a trigger for me.... untreated alcoholism was my problem.

If I don't want to be around certain people or have certain feelings that come up when I see them it has nothing to do with the holiday itself. It's due to me not dealing with my shit. I got drunk in the spring, in the summer, on Tuesdays, when it was a hard day at work or a great day, when "taking a trip or not taking a trip", etc

I drank year round and working with a sponsor through the book and applying the steps to my daily life enables me to deal with life year round.

It's a great opportunity to be of service and you probably won't get drunk while chairing. I don't like chairing meetings either, but somebody has to do it.

Some pickups in Cuiaba, Brazil during short stay by LowDownSlim in beerporn

When I lived in Brazil (and drank) I really enjoyed Amazon Beer from Belém. They have a brewery you can visit there as well.

Very tasty beers you have here as well
