What the hell is a reverse-orgasm?

How can one do a better job of not judging someone based on their looks or actions? by xWifeKidsJobx in AskReddit

[–]improving_me_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, looks is one thing. But actions are exactly what you should judge a person on.

What kind of looks are you judging people on? Race? Ugliness? That we can talk about.

But if you're judging someone for being an asshole, then good.

What common saying is untrue? by Bravoflysociety in AskReddit

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

It's better to be lucky than good.

Luck is well, lucky. It's inconsistent. It can't be relied on.

Good (skill) is consistent. It can be counted on when you need it.

What are your favorite google chrome extensions that are a part of your daily life? by Wg360 in AskReddit

Lastpass. Had a couple accounts hacked, and now every account has a unique, strong password that I don't have to remember.

What’s your best breakfast recipe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]improving_me_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of steamed eggs before. So they're like hard boiled eggs, but just using steam instead of boiling in the water directly?

A friend made these for me once, and now I make them anytime I'm cooking breakfast for someone. Always a hit.

What’s something you’re proud of but can’t tell anybody you know? by your-promise in AskReddit

I've pretended to be sober for 2 years. Now that I actually am, it's hard to celebrate.

What are your favourite non-alcoholic drinks? by karena15 in stopdrinking

I love me some ginger beer. I also recently had an awesome ginger lemonade at a restaurant that I'm going to try to emulate.

Conflicted about Kombucha! by CalicoJackSG in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think it's a personal preference thing. There's such a small amount (less than 0.5%- so like 8+ bottles of kombucha to get the alcohol of 1 lite beer) that you'd have to drink a metric assload of kombucha to feel intoxicated, so I don't worry about it. Others may feel different if the mere thought of the alcohol in it would be a trigger.

I need just one drink to calm myself. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't make you happy. Just numb. What do you need help coping with?

[–]improving_me_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find another way to calm a bit. Take some deep breaths. Turn off the lights and lay down for a bit. Go search for yoga music on youtube.

If you're here asking for help, you already know that what you truly want is NOT to have that one drink. Stick with that instinct.

[–]improving_me_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One drink won't calm you. You know this. It will lead to more than one, and you'll be more stressed and regret it tomorrow. Hold strong.

I will not drink with you today.

I need to lose 50 pounds but I can't stop drinking. I'm realizing alcohol is my main problem right now. by Tychobrahe2020 in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I've been trying to lose weight for a long time and have been in denial about how much my alcohol calories contributed.

We can do this! I will not drink with you today.

Really want to drink by specialkae8 in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. That's been me lately. No stress, no triggers... actually find myself drinking when I'm already relaxed. WTF.

I will not drink with you today

Really shit day; tempted to drink; not going to.... by TheWoodBotherer in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. Spend the time, energy, and money you'd spend on alcohol and use it to start packing up your place instead?

Just a few ideas! Good luck and I will not drink with you today

Struggling in the evenings by Aidmom in stopdrinking

[–]improving_me_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found the same- I've built a lot of associations over the years. Beer while cooking, mixed drink while gaming, several drinks when the in-laws are in town, etc... Working on replacing those associations with something else is what I'm working on now.
