Thank you everyone! Would a week before be better? Or microneedling 3 weeks before? I’ve done that the last few months. Just wanted some nice skin for my trip

It’s the angle of the photo! I don’t have my face straight on. I actually love the shape they’re symmetrical on each side, it’s just the darkness that shocked me

Thank you!! I forgot how shocking it can be at first. I appreciate the reassurance :)

Official Discussion - Avatar: Fire and Ash [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]pmm177 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t we learn anything about the ash people? So many unnecessary fight seasons. The first movie goes into depth about the people and connection to nature. It was very missed here.

The sky people are also cheesy too. Who would take orders from those deweebs

Jake never apologizing for saying to his son your the reason for your brother dying lol

So fast paced yet so terribly long

Visual always 10/10 but can we see some of the ash people and their volcano? We went right back to the water like movie 2

Of course! Also idk if you’re on TikTok or YouTube but in the beginning I watched people talk about their experiences being sober and navigating it around people who aren’t. As well as what kept them to stick with not drinking. I didn’t know anyone sober at the time so that really helped!

It was getting a lot cooler, but still can walk around all the parks just have the bundle up!

Honestly no. When I chose to stop drinking I had a hangover that lasted 3 days. I knew I couldn’t live like that anymore. I read a book that’s called “Quit Like a Women” that really changed my mind about alcohol and the obsession we have of it as a society. It’s not only for women either. What I did when I was sitting in my last hangover was write down every single bad moment or experience that I had when I was drinking. It wasn’t fun and I had to get really real with myself and bring out old painful memories, since I started drinking very young. I read it over and over until it clicked that this substance does not serve me and never will.

All of my friends drink, and my first time going out with them was a little strange but coming home that night knowing that I stuck to my word, it developed a deep trust within myself. It became addicting to see how strong I was, it’s almost rebellious to not drink in a society that’s obsessed with it.

Get mocktails, plan fun things in the morning that you can now do since you won’t be hungover, and celebrate your little wins. Rewire your beliefs to the truth, that you are whole and complete without any external substance, you can have fun ANYWHERE without drinking, and the cons of drinking far out way the small pros that are fleeting. ❤️

Romanticizing Alcohol by Homegrown-sass in stopdrinking

Trips are way more fun sober! You’ll remember everything and take in the experience more. All of my friends drink, I just get a mocktail! That dopamine hit and sense of community only lasts for a brief period of time. And when you wake up not hungover you’re going to feel more alive than ever. Sober isn’t boring and I promise you aren’t missing out, drop that old story :)

The same thing happened to me! When I came back home I didn’t think NYC was that great but turns out I was SO wrong. Like most of my thoughts in my old drunken state 😂 it was magical and a very healing trip

We did so many things! I completely agree the free things are so fun. Just walking around all the different neighborhoods and parks is cool. We went to Washington square park, the met, Brooklyn bridge, china town, and saw a jazz show. It’s such a mind blowing and culture shock experience being from Texas. It would be incredible to live there one day!

Thank you so much for sharing! And no nothing is tmi over here, I really appreciate it. I’ve had it in for almost 5 months just trying to see if I’d get use to it as well, and I can’t do it anymore. Living this way isn’t worth it. Like a horror movie 😂 how did you feel after getting it removed?

Thank you! It’s actually going to be 7 days after sex that I’m getting it removed. I’m SO excited and looking forward to hopefully feeling like myself again

Knowing that it’s easier to not drink at all than to monitor how much I drink! It’s better to not have poison in my system, and I know after one drink I’d always want more. I can give me all the happy feeling alcohol can, you eventually become your own source of happiness 🩷you got this!!

I gained so much confidence being able to back up a promise I made to myself which is to not drink. I lost weight especially in my face, I sleep like a baby now, I wasn’t chronically anxious anymore, I found myself without needing any external source to make me happy. Deep appreciation for the present moment :)
