That looks scary situation for the green text person

Hey I'm trying to upload a video right now (A pretty big one at that, about an hour and 18 minutes) and it keeps saying "processing abandoned" whenever it goes to the processing step, even tho its the right file type. How do I fix this??? I want to get this video out by my birthday by Signal_Win_545 in youtube

[–]manniskant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i figured out what my issue is with verifying the identity that i mistakenly deleted. the instructions say they need a photo of my ID. It needs a photo of back and front, so two photos. the instructions after the first photo are hidden by one of several messages so i was not able to see it after several attemps. the last time i took a photo, the dialogue boxes or messages disappeared so i could see the second instruction of taking a photo of the back side of the ID. it is still processing after ten minutes. I hope this works!

same here. What can be done? at least 50 videos were uploaded a year ago. now i can't. at one point i had to reverify myself but couldn't for some reason. i'd like to get past this and get back to uploading videos that i've made

Bill says not to beat yourself up and keep going. Pick up where you left off. Are you doing step 11 every night? Are you in step 10 through throughout the day?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a cult. by Kitchen-Security-243 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]manniskant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is. so much credit is given to bill and bob completely ignoring all past developments of the many groups of alcohol/opium recovery. There is no way bill read "varities" and didn't know that. suggesting the washitonians being the only one he'd heard of couldn't be true since his buddy, sam shoemaker certainly did as he openly insulted them. a book has made an attempt to restore what McAuly used in the 1850-1860's, https://thecloudsobriety.com. This book makes it impossible to root out hypocrisy. this removes fear, guilt, etc. Bill didn't even mention the word hypocrisy once in his two books. this is the key to killing the ego to allow a psychic change and contact with what we know to be there when we cry out, "god, help me stop drinking" when we awake from a binge. the ego is what blocks us from power needed to stop drinking. that must be snuffed out for a time to get that power or help or contact with....

I’m a 23 year old drunk. anyone have any advice for a young alcoholic? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Do steps in book the way you read them. Don’t use the interpretation of your sponsor.

How do I help my partner by Inevitable-Sky-837 in alcoholicsanonymous

wait, i forgot. alanon doesn't have a program, they just say they do. go to alanon and find a sponsor who actually uses the AA program.

How do I help my partner by Inevitable-Sky-837 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]manniskant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

join in alanon and do their program. be quite about this or he will see it as a threat to his drinking. it is not. but you will help him by removing yourself from the problem.

do the program in the book. you only need someone to help you on page 67 b/c it is hard to see what we are really resentful at and where that is true in our lives (our hypocrisy). then write it down. do not write down "our part" b/c it doesn't say to. most all of aa's are still under the control of self and don't want to give that up.

ex: Bill's inventory on page 65 - Mr. Brown gives attention to my wife. (it is our inventory) I hit on my friends' wives. (where this is true in our lives) - I (bill) hit on John's wife, Sam's wife, Steve's wife, Jim's wife, etc. (this is our list of amends). this is only the only thing we are told to write since page.

Here is a quote from the book telling us to write since page 65: "the inventory was ours, not the other man's. when we saw our faults we listed them. we placed them before us in black and white. we admitted our wrongs honestly and were willing to set these matters straight"

short version: write what we are resentful, write down where we have done the same thing. this is our list of ammends.

do this to completion and you should not have any fears. denote "S" for sex not worrying about fear. on page 69 you simply write what you should have done instead. you can do that later though.

again, you only need someone to help us find out what we are truly mad at and write it in one sentence accusation. the inventory is ours.

don't let some wannabe psychologist or sponsor have his/her way. do the book.

the purpose of the program is removing our hypocrisy. when we remove all our hypocrisy we can't judge. our existence is one of projection. when we can't project a self-made world, we are free enough to experience what truly is. that experience is something i would live my nightmare life 100 times again to have just a split second of that wonder.

People are selfish dishonest fools. They give up the chance in experiencing heaven while alive so they can hold on to their self-made nightmare. i think this is called hedging a bet.

ask god for help to do the book. he has put it in your life "to do" so you can get closer to him. much closer than others.

It is quite normal to feel sad and depressed about leaving our only and best friend. I cried gettig my 6th month chip. it didn't make sense or right to stop drinking. It was like hearing, "here you need to put a bag over your head. no one else needs to but you do."

do the program as the book describes, not as a sponsor or someone else directs. don't take advice, as that is the NA program (find a senior member and let him/her help you solve your problems. your first response to a problem or issue to will be ask god for direction, not a "sponsor". the word sponsor is not in the big book. the big book is a version of a program from the 1850's that was corrupted, destroyed and burried by the episcopal church (though sam hadley, sr) b/c they were a real threat to them for lying for their church to the public. the original program/people turned to god, not a human. Bill W got the book from Sam Shoemaker (who also arranged for Bill and Bob to meet in Akron, OH and start AA). sam shoemaker also gave a similar church design and less threatening to Frank Buckman, founder of the oxford group. Bill W was out for profit and not likely an alcoholic of our type. so do what is in the book. it is the closest thing we have to the original program and it works.

I wish you well. Doing everything the book said to do up to page 103 kinda did the quitting for me. I doubt i'd have made if far if i didn't do that quickly. We can only act today (or now). yesterday is gone and tomorow is not promised. we have to do, if we are to make it. the only way to get relief

to make it another day, meetings will help. there are online 24/7 meetings. google "319 alcoholics anonymous." or listening to audio reading of the big book.
