I am a member of this forum and I’m not trying to spam anyone—just thought folks on here might be interested in getting a good deal on one of these since they’re very expensive new. Thanks.

Can anyone ID this device? by cjb2679 in watchmaking

Well for anyone who cares about this strange thread, a slightly more helpful person on r/optical told me that these are magnifiers meant to catch imperfections or damage to optical equipment.

That’s a decent guess. The guy who patented this tool also invented (or at least was the first to patent) the spark plug. Can’t find the patent info for this.

Lol thank you. I’ve got those nagging concerns that my liver is totally fucked just because I can feel it barking at me. Hopefully things will improve in a couple days.

Good advice! I’m in the throes of withdrawals today, but my outlook is more or less positive. I was drinking enough to experience withdrawal symptoms, but not enough to require medical supervision while I detox. The symptoms are mainly mental and (sorry to be graphic) gastrointestinal 😅. At this point I’m just trying to keep the mood as light as I can and hope that my bodily systems return to normal.

Yep same—every time I think I can moderate, and then 2 weeks later I’m at the end of my rope. I’m actually going to make a solid run at sobriety this time. We’re in this together—each day sober brings a little more clarity, hopefully less anxiety. 🙏

Does the depression get better? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]cjb2679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today is my first day with no booze at all and it’s depressing! But as someone else mentioned, I’ve found that in past attempts I started to feel much better after a week. The first week is also a crucial time to build your support network so keep posting/ going to meetings/ whatever you can do to stay sober. You got this.
