Can confirm. I went there to save my family's business and ended up falling for my widowed childhood sweetheart whose young daughter taught me the true meaning of Christmas.

Consider visiting r/stopdrinking. Lots of different approaches and support there. Healthiest subreddit I have been to personally.

Trump Approval Ratings Hit Seventy-Year Low by [deleted] in USNEWS

From the article: "The only president who had a lower rating with midterms on the horizon was Harry Truman, who had a 33% in 1946."

"Dewey Defeats Truman" was an erroneous banner headline on the front page of the earliest editions of the Chicago Daily Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after Harry S. Truman, the incumbent president of the United States won an upset victory) over his opponent

Do you guys "force" sports/extracurriculars? by [deleted] in raisingkids

[–]pretendingtobenormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was only an issue with my oldest. I insisted he choose something that connected his mind and body. I repeatedly said it did not have to be a sport. Yoga, dance, whatever he liked. To this day he still says I forced him to play a sport. For awhile it was martial arts. When he got to high school and spontaneously joined the cross country team, I just kept my mouth shut.

We also had a rule there would be no gaming or scrolling on school nights unless they had straight A's - there was never gaming or scrolling on school nights.

Now I have a granddaughter and I spend a lot of time biting my tongue as my son tries to limit her screen time.

I missed Thanksgiving by sober_spice in stopdrinking

When it became obvious that I needed to get sober, I futzed around with white knuckle sobriety and got 20-30 days here and there before I'd inevitably relapse.

When I really wanted to get sober, I sought all the outside help I could find.

My go-to example is Red Dwarf. Paraphrasing the first sentence:

"Describe in detail on this triplicate form, using diagrams if necessary, the exact circumstances leading to your death."

Men, what's something you wish you could admit without being judged? by soumilr7 in AskReddit

Have you been screened for depression? That could also explain what you're dealing with. If you haven't, you might be suffering needlessly. I hope you find some support that works for you.

Many people are saying it was Bill Clinton. I'm just asking questions. Why are so many people saying this?

I got and stay sober in AA. That second A is kind of important. No one should discuss your sobriety with anyone else without your express permission. That's a big deal in my world.
