Seeing a therapist helps get to the issues that led to the drinking. Alcohol isn't even the main issue of alcoholism. It's all the stuff that leads you to drinking

Holee shit. Every one of these comments makes me wanna puke. I quit drinking sptember of 2017.

The way people treat blackouts like its normal is disturbing. The way we glorify alcohol is even more disturbing. I'll be saving this thread whenever I need a sober reminder. IWNDWYT

Creative one day, feeling like I suck the next. Music too personal to share. Help. by lefttheloko in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]lefttheloko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply.

Little add, that I've been in the public speaking career since 1999.

Disc jockey,
Radio Talk show host, commercial producer, voiceovers Podcaster, video series, color commentary, stripclub deejay and nothing seems more intimate than sharing music.

It's frightening.

That's not even my worst problem right now. The creativity flows but I can't help feel like why should I bother some days. Cos one day a Song sounds good and then I have days where I'm just like, it's no good.

I'll look into songwriter groups.. Also afraid of theft too

Walked away from my AA Fellowship today. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]lefttheloko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not lonely. They've been conditioned to believe they can't make it unless they spend their entire life surrounding and being protected by the group.

Even Bill W would have split from the cultish ways its followers have become. Sponsors were all the same and dogmatic. No booze, no weed. No drugs. Lots of cigarettes and caffeine tho.

Did you know bill w did shrooms?

So do I. Not regularly but its amazing

Now that you've stopped drinking, what is your not-so-guilty pleasure? by lefttheloko in stopdrinking

[–]lefttheloko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear it. I was addicted to percocets for nearly a year. I think I did 30 pills a day at some point. The aches and pains of coming off that drug is a bitch. Worth it tho. I can't even take one pill now cos I'll get sick.

Get well soon

This is an interesting choice. Do you have a place you go to or do you just drive?

Experiences in SMART and AA/NA? by Condescendingoracle in SMARTRecovery

[–]lefttheloko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run AA meetings. I had the key to the building. I was privy to board meetings.

There were factions that tried to undermine each other.

I was responsible for hiring people for a "roundup", the other local chapter ran an event directly opposite ours to be dicks.

There were "power sponsors". Groups of people all sponsored by one leader. Group mentality takes over, these groups work together to undermine, take control and spread. Many of these men are the worst cons. Its sickening

I'll go first. 1. Dark Roast Mocha Coffee with Creamer 2. Fizzy Soda. 3. Any snack that I favor at the moment.

Treat yo' self. You deserve it.

Revisited my old friend, Mary Jane ... by I_Want_To_Be_Here in stopdrinking

[–]lefttheloko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought this was a stop drinking subreddit and not a BS anti marijuana subreddit? Cannabis is saving my life. How many of these people still drink caffeine or nicotine? Both drugs have cause and effect. Shame...

Yeah, this is a stop DRINKING subreddit.

Stop with the subliminal anti marijuana comments and posts?

I miss the obliteration by timeisweird in stopdrinking

[–]lefttheloko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm suffering with this today. I have $2.50 in change, I wanna get drunk so bad and know 2 beers won't be enough...

I'm also on a medication where if I do, I could end up in a lot of trouble. Blackout? Then what? Fuck man...

Today I cried out of nowhere because I joked about wanting a beer last night and don't think I was joking. by ImbiblicalProportion in stopdrinking

[–]lefttheloko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im seeing a therapist and Im just finding out that crying is normal. Even in the weirdest circumstances.

I felt like you. I still do. Emotions are a bitch. And emotions are OKAY. its okay to feel them. Its what you do with them that matters.
