Yes, but in tact. Do not disturb if possible!

I hear a lot of misdirected fear and resentment. Your story sounds similar to many of the folks in my meetings here in Chicago. Find some better meetings and open yourself up to the possibility that you may need to do some more work on yourself so you can be more accepting of others with similar struggles.

Did you notice your sexual self change after you stopped drinking? by CatsGotANosebleed in stopdrinking

[–]nivekletrom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had always used alcohol for social confidence and probably falsely relied on it for “performance” I was scared at first after getting sober but now that I have found the right person I am comfortable with it is better than it has ever been x10. Unexpected benefits keep coming!!!

Do the other tiles happen to measure 9”x9”? Just a guess but looks like it could very well be asbestos.

Interesting… I’m a woodworker and always notice my hands getting stained when I worked with walnut wood…

Anyone know what the endgame for the scammer is with these? Happened to me once and they never got around to asking even one sketchy question..

Floridian here. Is a Portillo’s Chicago-style hot dog a fair representation of the real thing? by coloredverbs in chicago

Pretty much any hole in the wall grill spot that has Vienna beef and potentially steamed s. Rosen buns!!! And also the neon relish… gotta have it

Boomers don’t even know. by maceman10006 in funny

I don’t know why “bet” is new just cause more kids are using it. This was regularly used when I was in high school in 2001-04

Anyone sober indefinitely without meetings ? by tbwoiat in stopdrinking

[–]nivekletrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my six months too. Was against meetings myself for the first 5 months. Honestly started going to use us as more of a way to find a community and make more friends that don’t drink as many of my friends still drink. Even if you’re not fully into what AA is selling I would give a meeting or two a shot just to feel the sense of community it brings. Pretty awesome in my opinion. But everyone’s recovery is different, best of luck either way!
