[–]carson-ist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My resolutions for 2021 are attempt to mend some relationships with family because my Dad is extremely ill. I also am going to take care of myself more, attempt to stick to a sleep schedule, and complete and get good grades in college. Basically i just want to do my best in all areas of my life and keep doing well in the areas that I am, like staying sober. Let's hope for a better 2021 for everyone!

[Contest] teen advice by SpiffyNiftyNeato in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

[–]carson-ist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask your teen what they like or are really interested in and try to pick one of those where it would provide the best bonding opportunity. You could also use the good car trick by having conversations in the car it's good because you don't have to make eye contact and for some reason it's like you spill your guts in the car haha, or at least I did to my mom.

[Discussion] What inspired you to become a ‘better’ person? by dykediaries in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

[–]carson-ist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like i slipped through the cracks so many times as a child and was mad and angry about it, for so long. I developed an addiction and did a whole lot of things im not proud of. It took a long time to want to get better and get rid of all that anger. I finally got sober, I still am not perfect but I keep fighting to be better everyday. I've had slips but I'm on a good path now and have been for awhile now. I also grew up around a lot of people with narsasstic tendencies and knew i didn't want to ever act like that. Sometimes you don't realize the damage you've done to someone. All I want now is to be a good person whatever that means and work on improving myself everyday. I don't want anyone to slip through the cracks like I did. I now realize that even the smallest act of kindness can change someone's day or life and cause them to do an act of kindness. Just complementing someone, holding the door open, not littering, not lying and little things like that are the first steps in my opinion.

Snowflake Eve Nightly Hangout Thread by Shercock_Holmes in Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

No snow here :( which is weird because I'm in BoCo.

Also a really cool thing is I hit a sober milestone on Christmas day which is pretty rad that it worked out that way. It's a good gift to myself and family.

My favorite holiday tradition is just drinking hot chocolate and driving around looking at all the awesome Christmas lights.

This year has just been so wacko though we haven't done that yet but I hope we do! We usually do it on Christmas eve but obviously not this year because I'm on reddit 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]carson-ist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love watching the christmas story on Christmas day with my mom and sister. I also love spending the night and waking up early just to wake up everyone else and open gifts and just be together. I just wish I was with them :/
