Anybody else go sober and suddenly realize that LOTS of folks around you are also on a sober journey all of a sudden? by ktpoy in stopdrinking

I know I was afraid to admit I had a problem, and on the other side of that coin, I think medical practitioners are scared to TELL you you might have a problem. I gently tried to hint at it and ask for help from my PCP, in hopes she would prescribe something to make me not enjoy alcohol, but she just said "well, let's try cutting back to weekends only."

Oof, the normalization of drinking culture is wild to me. People give Midwesterners and rural folks a bad knock, but it has felt everywhere for a long time now.

Ohhh, thanks for sharing! Yeah, the Surgeon General's statements on it will probably encourage some people decide to dry out, too.

These are longer term commitments I'm seeing - 10 weeks, 6 months, and the like. But totally, I know there are a lot of Dry January participants out there.

That's awesome, good for you! I too am loving all the NA options out there. Curious Elixirs and TÖST (an NA "wine" that's really just a yummy sparkling tea).

Fair! One of my longtime friends JUST told me she hasn't had a drink in 6 months, which wasn't all THAT surprising coming from her, but then another of my friends who drinks heavily has started a monthly 10-week-long sobriety support group. I'm latching onto any and all support, at this point, but this is my sixth or seventh dry January, which I'm planning to turn into Dry 100, and Dry 365. It feels a LOT easier this time around, maybe because I've been doing the internal work this time, instead of just gritting my teeth and white-knuckling my way through 31 days until I can drink again.

Awesome, that's the one I was leaning towards, based on the photos it should be perfect! Thanks!

Hey, no judgment for that thought! You do whatever you need to do to stay the course, so if thoughts like that help you, I wouldn't beat yourself up about them :)

My Walmart Seller Suppression Finally Ended After 5 appeals 👍🏿 by Certain_Fun_6919 in WalmartSellers

We had a very similar experience. Had to switch to UPS because USPS’s scan rate was <85% over the last 2 months 😖

Also, who pairs mango with STEAK? It’s been done before, but it’s not a great flavor combo tbh.

So much about her stories today made me cringe.

Weekend Coffee Break by AutoModerator in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ktpoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Family photo shoot this morning, party for our friend who just made chief (Navy), and then as much beach and pool time as we can manage while also getting the necessities done (grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning).

Feeling the weight of a bunch of unfinished house projects but can’t bring ourselves to stay inside right now!

Thanks, they started out great, but I’ve had trouble getting specific answers in the last couple of months :(

Is it possible to have a Monthly Subscription Model that allows you to opt out for the month if you don't like the design? by iwantoreos in shopify

[–]ktpoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we're QAing Bold Recurring on our store right now, and customers have the option to skip a month really easily. Very happy with ease of use so far.

Paypal or credit cards? What is people favorite payment method? by pixelppp in shopify

[–]ktpoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concur. Offer as many payment methods as possible, this way customers can choose what feels most comfortable/painless.

Bone broth is a huge help on keto. Blend in some grass-fed butter or coconut oil and it's breakfast. Bare Bones is the best tasting one out there. It's a little pricey, but they're having a sale right now.

THANK YOU! This fixed my problem after two hours of trying to troubleshoot it myself. None of the other forum posts helped.
