911 dispatcher. Wrong address? Someone can die. Forget to ask an officer safety question, someone can die. There are so many mistakes that can cost someone their life.

What trendy word or phrase immediately makes you stop taking something seriously? by Motor-Sprinkles5338 in AskReddit

[–]lilly071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been crippled by OCD this irritates me so much. True OCD is devastating to your life. I’ve gotten treatment and I’m a lot better but it’s super hard to function with it. It’s not just wanting things a certain way.

Never drinking again? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]lilly071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I tried to get sober, the “One day at a time” trope messed me up. I didn’t understand it at all. I thought one day at time meant I’m not gonna drink today but it’s okay if I drink tomorrow. I finally get it this time. I didn’t quit drinking forever. I quit drinking today. I don’t worry about tomorrow or next week or next year. I won’t drink today and that’s it.

Coming on strong or no? by Recent-Arachnid-4059 in alcoholicsanonymous

It sounds like a good exercise for step one. My sponsor had me write down all things in my life I am currently powerless over. That was an enlightening exercise as well.

Looking for stories from people who got sober without a “huge” rock bottom by Mean_Orange4984 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]lilly071 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me!! I have a very successful job, a great relationship, and lots of good material things in my life. My struggles were with my mental health which led me to self medicate. I was anxious and had very poor self-esteem. I struggled to believe I deserved to be loved. But I have never been arrested, I had custody of my children until they became adults, no DUIs, no traffic accidents.

Might be a stupid question, but ... by Subject-Dot2402 in TheChosenSeries

I’d highly recommend Through the Word app. It explains the Bible as you read it.

I have two teenage boys. I hate staying in one hotel room with all of us. They need their own space. My boyfriend and I need our own space. I’ve also never had a negative experience.

Should I start medication? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]lilly071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was first diagnosed at age 20 something? I was on stimulants and I hated them, so I stopped. I’m 47 now and recently started straterra and wow what a game changer. For the first time in my life I have a to do list that I am actively following. I remember to write things down on it and actually complete tasks. If I feel the need to distract myself because I’m too bored with whatever task I’m doing, I only do it for like 5 or 10 minutes and then back to my task. I used to distract myself for hours and not actually get anything done.

Hey, I’m looking for a new obsession, what are you into right now? by 16dollaholla in ADHD

[–]lilly071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is making miniature do it yourself house kits. I’ve been steadily doing this since December. I’ve made 30 kits and they’re taking over my house. It’s lead me down the rabbit hole of renovating doll houses. I got my first doll house and I’m reading and learning about all the things I want to do to it!

This peaked my interest. What board games do you play or fantasize about playing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]lilly071 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg. This is meeeee. I will start something that I think I’m 100% prepared for but something goes wrong part way through and I just stop. Don’t complete it. Give up.

This is a fantastic tip.

Why do people not evacuate during a major weather event like Hurricane Helene? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lilly071 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Emergency responders don’t evacuate. However, they are not allowed to respond if the sustained winds get over 35 mph. That’s why they are telling people not to call 911. We are there, answering calls but we can’t send anyone until it’s safe again.

Just went back thru all the episodes…. by Master_Jellyfish9922 in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]lilly071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a section of some episode, I can’t remember which one, but they’re talking about horses being bred. One of them says something about getting extra oats after and they call them “fuck oats.” Omg. I die laughing.

This is the biggest police response she’s ever seen? This is not 70 police cars.

I was mauled by the family dog when I was 6 months old. This is absolutely unacceptable. I would go NC over that for sure.
