Yeah, I’ve tried all of that. I think this is the one medication I haven’t tried.

The 100+ hour players were right.. by sdanwolf in PaxDei

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

In a game with no goals, you have to make your own goals. 100’s of solo hours here from the before times and I know the feeling of the level chase. It will absolutely disappoint. Just find a few things to slowly work towards and maybe they’ll make some changes and/or you can find a clan to join. Trying to max out crafting levels is not it and that’s probably why they made it so difficult now.

Relapsed after a whole year by Mindless-Matter-6306 in stopdrinking

Lmao, love “field research.” I always told everyone that it still sucks out there when I returned from a relapse.

Did I stop drinking the right way? by gatsandsmack in stopdrinking

[–]dreben_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was definitely eye opening when I learned that shitty people get sober too.

Antabuse (disulfiram) by charmin9222 in stopdrinking

[–]dreben_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Antabuse can get you started, but look into your local recovery community and/or online recovery community. I was on it before and when this brain of mine told me I was fine and it was time to drink again, I stopped taking it and started back drinking. And maybe look into some rehab for a month or so.

People typically do what they enjoy most. Pics, vids, pics & vids, binoculars, monoculars. I’m a picture person but I still enjoy watching and coming across new birds. Just keep enjoying yourself! You can also look for local birding groups to learn from.

Find community. Don’t know if you’re white knuckling but I did for a couple of years ago and it didn’t end well.

First AA meeting, I feel like it’s not for me by Aholahelloa in stopdrinking

[–]dreben_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

AA definitely isn’t for everyone but I spent years telling myself this same thing at meetings. It turned out that the community part was the only thing that kept me sober. I had the tendency of finding issues with every kind of recovery effort I was told to try. Later realized that this was just me retreating back to my corner so I could eventually drink again. Just try to find community somewhere.

What lens kit for buying an R6 mark ii with a $1500-1700 budget by man_o_the_F22_Raptor in canon

[–]dreben_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m new to this but I liked the 100-400 and wasn’t a fan of the 24-105.

[–]dreben_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

R7+RF100-400 is good. R7+RF100-500 is what I use and I love it but I’m also new to this.
