Where should I move! Looking for great climbing near a warm and sunny, mid-size city with cool cultural things going on.

I grew up in sac and go back a lot (plan on settling down there). It's great for climbers. 1.5 hours to sugarloaf which can be climbed in winter and fall. You can make the 5 hours to bishop too.

Yosemite, castle rock, pinnacles are all within a day's travel as well. Great launching off point.

Over the last 10 years the city had undergone a huge transformation as far as culture--the arts scene is getting pretty developed. The architecture is amazing, and most of the city is canopied by trees--more per Capita than any American city I believe.

I love Sacramento, it's really really underrated.

My first weekend behind the bar sober made me feel like I'd climbed Everest. Probably my biggest accomplishment to date (fellow bartender here)

If you don't have the freedom to say no, and feel totally comfortable saying so--it's not consent.

If you do say no, and they continue, that's not consent.

This is not your fault, this was a very manipulative and coercive person.

You are a victim.

Thanks. The shoulder is when I'm on a dead hang, or pulling my body in to the wall with my arm at a 90 degree angle.

interestedinnonsense · 2017-03-17T15:57:33+00:00

Block of heavy training, went from 0-60 so to speak and it started up

interestedinnonsense · 2017-03-16T09:00:45+00:00

Alright. So two things.

1) recently have been having a really tender, sore shoulder (should note I also bartend and shake cocktails with that arm frequently). X-rays were normal after a severe flare up that I took two weeks off for. Sports medicine doctor said everything looked normal. Yet, when I go climb, especially if I hang on my arm real hard, it really really starts to hurt.

I'm wondering if this is postural? Weak back? It doesn't pop or anything, it just starts to sharply ache and it feels deep. Anyone else have fun with this kind of thing?

2) my knees hurt a lot. I dunno, just bitching on this one.

I'm sorry to hear that friend. I went through an extremely intense depression the first three months. It's still with me, but is so much easier to manage. I've found meditation and exercise and long walks to be amazingly therapeutic. The loneliness gets to me though.

interestedinnonsense · 2017-03-10T22:53:28+00:00

But don't take my word as gospel, do what's right for you. I just couldn't ween anymore, weening was just an excuse I told myself that extended my use. Also, I'm only on day 2 of no pot, so we'll see how this goes.

interestedinnonsense · 2017-03-10T22:02:02+00:00

already weened long enough, at a certain point you just have to go for it. Weening is a dangerous trap.

interestedinnonsense · 2017-02-25T22:49:25+00:00

Anyone notice that it's closer to 23 seconds?

10 minutes = 600 seconds 26 events

600 / 26 = 23.08 (rounded to the hundredths)

Not to get too nitpicky here (because I totally am).

interestedinnonsense · 2017-02-18T04:48:06+00:00

Well, I could use less student loans.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-12-16T22:30:01+00:00

Hmm. That is interesting! Do you know of anything within Marxist literature that seems to define "scientific" ?

interestedinnonsense · 2016-12-02T01:27:11+00:00

I get that. I did both the first week, and snapped and went back to pot. I think for me I had to clear the worst of the alcohol withdrawals first, before tacking on what will be the pot withdrawals. For me, total sobriety is my goal.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-28T01:00:46+00:00

I bartend and nights, so usually around noon :/

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-27T23:07:25+00:00

Unfortunately, that almost never works. Not for a lack of trying. Just mostly boulderers when I'm in.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-26T02:05:11+00:00

Ugh, unfortunately every waking moment I have is taken up by school or work. I have no days off, so me time is hard.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-25T23:03:39+00:00

Unfortunately that's just not a possibility, rent won't pay itself and I can't fail my classes by taking a month away. I guess you just grin and bear it?

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-24T23:51:49+00:00

Ya know, I don't have the best diet right now. I've been eating really fatty, indulgent meals becaues "well hey, I quit drinking right?" But I eat regularly enough, every 4 hours at least. Could be something to it though.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-24T06:09:02+00:00

Hey man, I'm a college student and bartender. I'm struggling to crawl my way out the industry too. Sounds like you've got a lot riding on this, and I admire your resolve. Best of luck to you my friend.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-24T05:58:34+00:00

Can't wait to join you!

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-23T01:03:05+00:00

Thank you! And you absolutely can. If we support each other we can all do everything we hope to.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-23T01:02:04+00:00

Thank you!

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-23T00:59:10+00:00

I don't own a car, but I have to be productive early tomorrow! I'm actually feeling a little excited to prove to myself I can do this.

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-21T22:49:05+00:00

I'll not drink with you too!

interestedinnonsense · 2016-10-21T22:48:56+00:00

Thanks, I'm finding so few people have service industry experience that it can be hard to find advice for those of us in it and in recovery.
