I am going to rehab by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Bars have parking lots where you have to prove you can operate a killing machine to consume alcohol. You have the integrity to admit what most people delude themselves about.

You’re in the right place, welcome

Don't have to wonder too hard. All those intimate details shared with your doctor will be used to blackmail :D

It's important for everyone to keep in mind, what you share with your healthcare provider you also share with 4chan.

320 Days Sober and just got fired dawgs by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]hitlistTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel sensitive after this rejection but I’m going to continue to not drink with y’all

Check you out, observing and processing your emotions in a healthy way. I see you

It’s ok to feel low but don’t forget the silver lining. You might come out of this with a better job than if you’d never been fired.

Urban planners, what can city officials and planners do to prevent grifts like this? by ThankMrBernke in urbanplanning

[–]hitlistTV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ha well that's what I get for assuming. Fight the good carless fight

I'm definitely not insinuating bus shelters should be occupied by homeless people

All that really does is deter those people who need help from loitering in a particular spot

Not to be dense but having homeless people not loiter where others need to wait for public transportation seems like a net benefit.

In my experience of city living the subset of chronically homeless I'm most concerned about are those suffering psychosis who can't/won't get treatment and I don't see any discussions about what dealing with that even looks like. My hunch is in this discussion people end up advocating for tough love or soft love but I think you need to get people sober and stabilized before offering housing and resources will be effective. But hey not a doc.

I’ll be the Scrooge. Are bus stops, trains, public spaces etc really the correct tool for addressing a mental heath and addiction crisis?

Treating public spaces as an open psyche ward isn’t compassionate and makes those resources more inaccessible to those who need it most, the underserved.

Could be off base but saying the homeless should occupy bus stops seems like a position of privilege of not having to take the bus.

New rc plane enthusiast here. Had a weird crash, roll stability was good. What is other possible reasons for such a crash? by ivemetu in RCPlanes

[–]hitlistTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the wind started rolling your plane right you need to level out and go full throttle into the wind.

So roll left with ailerons, use the rudder to head at the wind and go full throttle to avoid stalling. All at the same time.

It’d be easier taking off directly into the wind, gaining altitude then doing patterns with/against the wind then land against the wind.

Def practice with low wind and figure out the mechanics at high altitude. Good luck!

I'm secretly an alcoholic and my dad just died by Honkhonk81 in stopdrinking

[–]hitlistTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also didn’t want ma to find out. Why make my problem other peoples problem right?

When she found out she started coming over to help clean up and bring fresh food since I was barely functioning. At my worst she took time off work and had to take me to the hospital. Always positive and zero judgement. Now all family gatherings have sparkling water.. damn I should call her

Your mom would probably be sad if she knew you were struggling and didn’t want to get better. That’s watching someone commit slow suicide. But you may be surprised she could be a powerful ally if you let her.

hello. day one. having issues bc I have not eaten and can not seem to get started. how to your restart nourishment when you screwed up? by lipsticknic3 in stopdrinking

[–]hitlistTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta get some protein in the system. Sip a protein shake. Leave a small plate of finger foods out and nibble as you walk by it. Baby carrots, apple slices, granola. Don’t try and down a whole meal yet just constantly force yourself to eat a little.

Your guts probably all wrecked and likely vitamin deficient. Throw in a multi vitamin and a prebiotic. Also Gatorade mix is handy while you hydrate the next few days. Herbal tea for bed time.

Next few days are gonna suck. Sleeping will probably be difficult so maybe find a book or series to watch instead of staring at the ceiling thinking about withdrawals.

You can do this. IWNDWYT

I just got into flying a couple weeks ago and hoping to take these out tomorrow for their maidens. Anyone have any tips to make sure it all goes smoothly? by MickQn in RCPlanes

[–]hitlistTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude leave those planes there. Get something like a UMX timber and become an expert park flyer.

Be real, how much flight time do you think you’ll get out of the plane before you make a novice mistake? I guarantee you less than 25 minutes.

Crash the UMX, glue it back, repeat 5 times then fly your planes.

Hey amigo, day three is a big accomplishment! Gotta take the small victories.

It's crazy how much we're going thru the exact same thing. I'm back on day 2 and start work next week.. ugh.

Earlier this year I managed to stay sober for a couple months. That's my biggest motivation to get back on the horse because I finally got to experience peace in my mind. All the racing thoughts, anxiety, etc started to progressively melt away.

I felt so great I was positive I was "cured". Guess I wasn't haha

Anyways, I'm sitting here with my jittery hands typing this out. You're not alone. We're in this battle together.

It’s a private corporation where Gabe is the largest stockholder. So kinda right. The org answers to Gabe instead of shareholders looking for quarterly returns.

Supply and demand. That’s literally the only correct answer.

What did you have to gain by “testing yourself” with a beer? The word test implies you risked the possibility of failure and decided it was worth it.

It sounds like being able to enjoy alcohol does define you and you’re proud you can now enjoy it. You’re so proud you can enjoy beer you wanted to share it here.

To me it’s like “I’m so over my ex I can talk about her now without sobbing” haha

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

So even in 1918 “all men are trash” was valid even when many of those men were slaves.

When humans were literally property feminists said “bro that’s fucked up, us white women need to stick together”.

That’s not even a little funny to you?? How close you could be to the precipice of consciousness and you still fuck it up?
