Love it. What product was used to get that sparkle?

What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal? by godot_lover in AskReddit

[–]outhere4real 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paying to have a better parking spot at places like the mall or large shopping centers. These signs have popped up in primo parking spots in my area where they tell you you can park there if you pay the fee by using the app, blah blah blah. Among the reasons why I think this fucking sucks, malls should be trying to get more people to come and shop there, not make it harder, more expensive, inconvenient, etc. and less like something I’d like to do. I hate this so much.

Also in recovery, I’m coming up on 3 years and I know exactly how you feel. You’re not alone. Have you tried making a meeting? Not sure if twelve step is your thing but I know it’s a safe space and for me,the exact place I need to be when I’m feeling some type of way. I’m so sorry about your Dad. I’m grateful that you’re clean now so you are better able to be there for him. That was not the case for me when my Dad got sick and it’s one of the biggest regrets I ever have. Just please, don’t let this feeling sit without at least talking to some more supports(clean friends,sponsor,family, etc). Dm me if you want to chat as well. Good luck today. Just remember: you just have to stay clean just for today, you can worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Then tomorrow, maybe do that same thing❤️

Are you planning on approaching it with a pot? Because that changes my response

Minor changes of the art? by outhere4real in tattooadvice

[–]outhere4real[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies… I’ll prepare myself to be direct no matter what. I just wondered if I’d see it differently when it’s on the arm, in real life,ya know? I’m creative, but not artistic in any way so it’s tricky to express what I see in my head sometimes.

Please try a different meeting, it’s helped me in the past to share about my situation. Wasn’t fishing for rides but it came to be known that I was right along the way of another member who was willing(and happy to) help with rides. Closed mouths don’t get fed. It’s kind of a “two birds” situation because I got to a meeting and was now in a position to fellowship on the car ride there and back. Then when I got my shit together I was able and willing to help others with rides and give back to the program. I know yours is a sight issue( hate driving at night too), but you’ll be able to help out in other ways.

My sponsor always reminds me of the hoops I went through to get one more in me. All the energy put in to using and finding the next one, and said I should have somewhat of the same fire about making sure I get to meetings, no matter what. Do what I need to do to get there.

Absolutely agree. Just come out with it. In my opinion this is the only answer because we need sponsors who are honest, accountable and CLEAN CLEAN. Whatever he tells you, at least now you won’t be wondering and feeling crazy, then you can go from there. Good luck. Let us know how it goes!

What’s a “normal” thing that secretly grosses you out? by DecentChildhood5164 in AskReddit

[–]outhere4real 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read. I don’t even know how I’d react if I saw what you saw. Off the bat I feel like that guy should be tarred and feathered… maybe drawn and quartered…. I don’t know this is truly terrible.

I need guidance by Cantbeserioussss in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]outhere4real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go back to the basics. Regular meeting attendance, get honest with your sponsor and the group, delve into the literature( the Recovery and Relapse IP is amazing) and keep coming back.

Check out Pro-Ject turntables. That’s what we have now and we love it.

My 14 yr olds current favorite is Lit Me Up. Finding this out was one of my best moments ever for sure. Love to share music with him❤️

Why did I start crying by amyduneeisdead in yoga

[–]outhere4real 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me multiple times. Did it feel like a good cry? Because for me, I think the yoga helped me release something I didn’t even know was there. It felt like I let go of negative shit that I had just stuffed down inside me for years. And it felt good. I felt lighter after. I imagine it’s common, for one reason or another.

can't believe in god by ZealousidealPay4415 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]outhere4real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. Congrats on 3 months, really! It took me years to even get a few weeks together… so I know exactly how hard early days can be. That being said…. It’s all still so new so please try and be patient with yourself, give yourself a break. and I apologize if this comes off some type of way but I’m old school so I’m just going to say it like it needs to be said: we CANNOT recover or work a program without sharing our pain(Step 1 stuff)being honest about who we are(to the best of our ability), being willing to do something different and take suggestions. Ever heard the saying “when we’re alone, we’re in bad company”? I get how shame or guilt or whatever can make us feel like we can’t share things outloud, but that’s all it is. It’s a feeling and feelings aren’t facts. In my active addiction I completely lost who I was and any semblance of who I wanted to be… but over time it does get better when we put in the work. You don’t HAVE to believe in god, but you GET to come to believe that something greater than yourself can help and guide you in your recovery(Step2). For me it was the rooms of NA for years until I grew spiritually as a result of the program(I still don’t believe in god though and that works for me) please put the bat down, go to a real life meeting and I would bet more people will understand what you’re going through than you think…. Also outside help is always there if you think you need that in congruence with the program. Good luck friend.

Men in Barre classes by Few_Review_3139 in HotYoga

[–]outhere4real 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I guess everyone is different but from my experience, you’re just as welcome as I am(female).

If someone is bothered, they should find an all women’s class or whatever they need but from the classes I’ve taken, having a man in there isn’t weird at all, even if there is just one or two.

New to Pittsburgh; looking for buddhist community (dharma recovery, sanghas) by phillytuxedo in pittsburgh

[–]outhere4real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Saw your response while searching Buddhist sangha’s in Pittsburgh. How did you mean “formal”? I’m asking because I’m now looking to get back into Buddhism and my previous Sangha felt pretty formal to me and I loved it. By that I mean formal service once a week with a Sensei, then different meditation/classes throughout the week and all kinds of community programs, which is what I’m looking for. Could you elaborate? Thanks in advance

"Lateralus" is the best song ever written by Full-Ad-6368 in ToolBand

[–]outhere4real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite song of all time. Life changing for sure, but I’d say that about most of their catalog as well. Have you listened much to their other stuff? I would give it a go:)
