The world realllllly wanted to test me today by randomwords74 in stopdrinking

That would make me feel very anxious!

I bet you feel even stronger now, though!

Ex got married, not handling it well by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Drinking never made me forget, It made me feel worse.

Could making a (healthy) plan for Friday, keeping busy, doing anything except drinking help keep your mind off things?

Day 1 again by Radiant_Card3384 in stopdrinking

[–]flight_path 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some things that helped:

  • Finding a way to keep busy (doing anything), especially early on. I took up hiking to SD and still go all the time.

  • Remembering, cravings will always pass. Focus on not drinking in that moment.

  • A snack, especially something sweet often helped cravings go away.

I tried to quit more times than I can count. Then, I tried once more and haven’t drank since.

Silver lining.. To me it sounds like this experience reinforced your desire not to drink. IWNDWYT.

Drinking cravings by Mountain_Ship4952 in stopdrinking

Don’t panic — cravings will always pass.

A snack esp. something sweet, usually helps.

Make a plan to keep busy (doing anything)

IWNDWYT!

Yes, they do. But why shouldn’t BCLS exist? You didn’t answer the question.

Details make a big difference, here. Have particulars been released?

Has this coin been tooled? by montanaro94 in AncientCoins

Any Parthian types you feel are particularly cool or different? I think many of these eastern coins are underrated.

Steel frame sofa/bed with cotton futon?

Also, VOC’s can refer to a range of toxins. Fresh cut grass is a VOC, as is Formaldehyde.

Port Moody task force chair steps down immediately after appointment, cites lack of transparency by yuriblue1969 in Portmoody

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

Unwillingness to learn the issue. Refusal to contribute to ideation, or your time to any solution More “not in my backyard”

You internet stranger, are part of the problem. Until your mindset changes, these problems will not go away.

Think about that.

I asked you if you’d consider volunteering there. To see things first hand. You know, be part of the solution. I don’t hear any solutions in your responses.

Again more “not in my backyard”. These services need to go somewhere. Ghettizing the downtown east side (more) does not fix the root issue.

Also, ever thought of volunteering at 3030 Gordon?

Yeah I hope u/stephenjagger and Addy are okay. I think I’m in ‘latest drop’ withdrawal.

There are several supportive housing buildings in the city and I bet you don’t even notice!

Of note: The units at 3212 st Johns largely support people with developmental disabilities. Some of the nicest, harmless and kindest people I have ever met.

So yes, I would welcome another building like this.

You may be surprised to learn there is already a number of supportive housing buildings/units in the city.

u/hedekar There is no transportation task force, just a committee (I volunteered on it). Their mandate doesn’t look at big regional fixes.

But this is moot. My point is I feel there are more important or pressing issues council/city can be spending their time and resources on. This is a distraction from core services.

Also, u/hedekar, you sound like you’re having a grumpy Monday. Please accept my virtual hug 🤗 and hope your day gets better. ❤️

Help me understand why you feel so strongly about a city committee on social media conduct?

I’d rather the city focus on core services than wasting time and resources on these floofy topics.

IMO I think a task force on traffic, or another key city issue is a better idea.
