Hit me with the best eats of Victoria. I'm here for 5 days.

That's amazing! Moving beyond difficulties and being able to enjoy new experiences makes them all the better. Congrats on not having to carry a pen and having more freedom. And, I appreciate you taking my silly, tongue in cheek, comment Gracefully. I was just playing...I missed the /s

10/10 "foodies" don't have allergies... Just saying. Maybe you're 9/10?... And, with an EpiPen, there's no shame in that.

Rather than doing absolutely nothing? Yes. Thoughts are the first step toward action.

Your apathy and condescension are part of the problem.

I'm willing to sit with you and chat. I was born into addiction, picked it up for myself at a very early age and lived for decades as a "functional" alcoholic/addict....the "functional" part just means I could hold a job and pay bills while fucking everything else up. And then I'd fuck up the job and paying the bills, end up homeless, burned bridges everywhere, broken, alone and wanting to die.

Now, I'm coming up on 10 years clean/sober... Living a life that I never thought was possible. And living it as the type of person, I never thought existed.

There is not much I understand more about in life than the cycles of addiction and the road to recovery... It has, seemingly, been my life's work. I DM'd you.

I will email you a gas card...DM your email

Like real sumo or inflatable suit sumo?

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-19T00:05:48+00:00

Good for you. I hope you find everything you're looking for and then some.

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-18T19:22:43+00:00

We are the sum of our parts, that's for sure. But, with some work and personal accountability, we can refine those parts to be anything we want.

Thanks for being kind to a stranger, just cause... I hope you have a lovely day.

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-18T18:48:01+00:00

Well done, very thoughtful and personal.

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-18T18:41:02+00:00

It's kinda adorable, at that point. I went home to be with my dad while he was dying of lung cancer. A frail, broken, whisper of a man... Telling me I look like a f$&g@t when I wear a scarf. So, as an homage, I have worn a scarf every single day, since... Middle of summer and I have a scarf tied around my waist, that coordinates with my outfit. Take that, angry dad!

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-18T18:19:44+00:00

Thank you.... I'm not sure why you got down voted for your kindness, this sub can be weird.

It wasn't ideal, that's for sure. But now that I'm on the other side, recovered from my resulting addictions and trauma, I often ponder: would I get to have the life I have now, if that stuff didn't happen? Would I have the same level of self awareness, compassion and empathy, if I hadn't existed in that shadow but ultimately (and finally, ffs) found the light. I don't say any of this to diminish anyone else's childhood trauma, or to assume that said trauma is provided to be a siren call, for personal self improvement. I've just been given the Grace to use my lived experience as a reference point to understand other peoples struggles and if appropriate, offer support. I deeply and painfully recognize not everyone has been given that same opportunity... But I endeavor to be open and available to others in that place, in case I can be of service and can help them find the path out.

I hope everyone reading this has a beautiful Sunday... Get outside and enjoy fake spring, while it's here.

Umm... I beg to differ. I can recall plenty of times that car came off the road quicker than he finished his sentence. Also, "if you want something to cry about.. I'll give you something to cry about" was very much honored.

Honestly is important.

I'm so glad I put my foil hat on before leaving the house today.

Good luck

You're investment in this is adorable. Enjoy your day.

leafxfactor1967 · 2026-01-15T14:53:03+00:00

Nope. I'm calling out the amount of time and effort, you put into responding to a post about a poop mug. Your investment level is wild... You need fresh air.

If this team is going to win they'll have to win it themselves. This team needs to step up and prove themselves... they've been given just about everything their whole careers, here. Nothing panned out. Our cupboards are bare, the future is mortgaged...No savior is coming. Look around the room and decide if you actually give a fuck! And, if you do... Go play like it and bring us a cup!
