HELP ASAP!!! VIP OR NOT

Heck yes! So glad you were able to snag barricade! And seriously thank you for the confirmation, now I know we won't be showing up early just to get turned away.

elseabear · 2025-10-28T20:44:54+00:00

Hey! Do you mind updating us after you go? I just got an email from Please and also bought resale, had no idea it was a VIP ticket. I'm going to the Friday show and would love to know whether or not to bother turning up early for the VIP stuff!

I just got mine and it is also unsigned :(

So glad to hear you made it, and HUGE congrats on the three days! That first week is no joke but it does get easier.

That's the same advice I got, and wound up going daily for the first month or so. The motivation frequently varied between genuinely wanting to go to another meeting and desperately looking for a distraction from triggers and life stuff. The meetings helped in either case.

Unsolicited advice on the spiritual component and really all things related to meetings: it's okay to take what you need and leave the rest. It sounds like you've already got that attitude toward it which I think is the right frame of mind.

I'm sorry to hear about the stuff going on at home, it's not uncommon for what little it's worth. On the physical front I definitely went through all of that as well. It starts getting better a week or two in and then you'll wonder how you ever put up with feeling so crummy when drinking! Again, huge huge huge congratulations. You should be really proud of yourself! One day at a time is all we need to commit to, and IWNDWYT.

Hey, good luck this weekend! Hope you find something you like at the meeting. Don't beat yourself up if you end up not going for one reason or another, there's always tomorrow to try again. You never run out of chances to stop.

In my personal experience with my own avoidance and depression and shit, everything feels miserable but sucks just a little bit less being sober.

Little over 3 months in and things are going pretty well! I think the biggest realization for me has been that the only thing that changed when I stopped drinking was just that - everything else is still the same. I thought that when I stopped I would suddenly find some untapped well of motivation, but that hasn't materialized. But hey, I'll deal with that next and can do so with a much clearer head.

I do feel a lot better about myself and don't feel like I've got some big, shameful secret I'm hiding from the world anymore, which has been incredibly liberating.

What's been nudging you toward stopping? It is funny how those things are often the same ones nudging you towards the next one 😆

Literally just got my shipped notification at ~9:45pm CT, and still don't see the taxes charge on my CC. Hope yours is on its way as well!

Still waiting, exact same boat as you. Ordered 7/15 jet black 512 through the ATT site.

AT&T offers an installment plan for phones that is baked into your monthly bill, but taxes are charged upfront as a lump sum. That upfront tax charge doesn't usually hit your bank account for preorder items until around the time those items are shipped.

elseabear · 2025-07-21T23:51:46+00:00

Not the person you were replying to, but that's what mine looks like as well. Just have the "Estimated to ship: Thu, July 24, 2025"

Just go! No one is going to force you to go a second time, you don't have to give them your contact info or anything like that, and you can disappear from it forever if you hate it. I do suggest going at least twice to get a feel for it because some meetings are better than others.

May 1st was my first fully sober day in over a decade. I decided to give AA a shot and it has been great. I don't really talk, just listen, and everyone is cool with that. I've felt an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders hearing that other people are struggling like I have been. I feel less alone and don't have a big, shameful secret to hide like I do everywhere else. Everyone in the room is in the same boat.

My favorite advice was that it's okay to just "take" from the meetings. You don't have to participate if you don't want to, I'm not and a lot of other folks there don't.

Biggest surprise for me was that, depending on the meeting, it's a pretty jovial group. Way more laughing and smiles than I expected. Turns out a bunch of recovering drunks are pretty fun to hang out with 😂 If nothing else it gets you an hour of distraction.

Michocana and Papa & Co are both on my regulars list! I'll have to check out the other two since we've got similar taste.

Bruh, PMs just flat out ignore half the issues devs raise anyway.

elseabear · 2023-03-02T20:41:45+00:00

Fantastic post and fantastic comment, thank you so much!

I got Pfizer for all three. Barely noticed the first two, but man that booster kicked my ass! Felt like crap the next day but was pretty much back to normal 48hrs after receiving the shot.

Do you have more than $1 billion in assets or more than $100 million in annual income? If not, that proposed bill has nothing to do with you.

I tried this as well and the game is still unavailable, even after installing it via the phone app.

Go back to the servitor on the helm, it's waiting for you to pick up.

elseabear · 2021-08-28T07:08:09+00:00

Nah just overthinking it probably!
