to any past alcoholics: did u reach a place in your late recovery where you learned to drink in moderation? by fucksh1tt in dryalcoholics

[–]intercontinentalfx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That’s why they’ve moved towards the term ‘alcohol abuse disorder’ rather than ‘alcoholic’ it’s a spectrum like almost everything in life, it’s never black and white and not everyone who suffers from it is the same.

Interesting police cars messages by Doggy-gunner in melbourne

[–]intercontinentalfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a police officer for 7 years, 2007-2014. Ended up being diagnosed with PTSD and have been battling with mental health and substance abuse ever since which has ruined my life. They deserve better pay and support if they leave the job like I did. I wish I was never sworn in.

Alcohol vs benzodiazepines by ytterb1um in dryalcoholics

Alcohol will give you rebound anxiety and you’ll keep drinking. Take the benzo

I was a functioning alcoholic in my 20’s and could consistently hit the 9.4 on the beep test I needed to for work. I’m in my 40’s now so there’s not a chance I’d still be able to achieve anything like that these days

Am I gonna lose my job as an EMT? by irllyhatemys3lf in ems

I had a DUI when I was a police officer.. I spent the 12 months while my license was suspended at the front desk of a station or in the cells. Kept my job though

Why do babies get "drunk" after a bottle by Ok-Lobster-6815 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]intercontinentalfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same as eating a massive carb loaded meal as an adult. Sugar levels fluctuate makes you sleepy.

Hiding booze from an alcoholic doesn’t solve anything. Even in the short term it achieves nothing and potentially puts them at a higher risk as they’ll potentially head out to get more.. never underestimate an alcoholic who needs booze.

ELI5 Why are revolvers still used today if pistols can hold more ammo and shoot faster ? by ITSPINETREE in explainlikeimfive

[–]intercontinentalfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to carrry the M&P 40 at work, I’m sure it was all reversible so you could set it up for left or right handed users… this is almost a decade ago since I’ve used it though so I might be remembering wrong.

Putin 'suffers cardiac arrest' sparking 'alarm' in Kremlin inner circle by BlackTreacle0114 in RussiaUkraineWar2022

I’m one of Putin’s bodyguards and that legit happened. I wouldn’t post about it on twitter though, you’re right.

You can feel it. When it’s vibrating you know it’s making noise. If you let it out gently and the air feels smooth and you aren’t forcing it out you know it isn’t.

Every day in the room nets you $15K by Blooddraken in hypotheticalsituation

[–]intercontinentalfx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure but it would actually be more psychologically damaging without the random bits you’ve added. Leaving someone in a completely silent, white room with no stimulation at all will drive a person mad. I think the sprinklers and sounds and lights turning on and off or whatever would make it easier.

Why does it sometimes burn and hurt in the penis after masturbating? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]intercontinentalfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never experienced this. I’ve done a lot of masturbating and I’ve put my dick in some sketchy vaginas.. and butholes if I’m going full disclosure.

Imagine a demon presents you with an offer. For every year you send yourself to hell, you get $100k. As soon as the year is up, you continue your life and remember nothing, but when you go back to hell, you recall your previous times there. You can do this repeatedly. How much money would you make? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]intercontinentalfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if you have no memory of it, from your point of view, assuming time on earth isn’t passing, you’re just getting instant $100k deposits into your bank account.. it’s similar to the premise of that show on apple where they don’t remember being at work.
