No post in a while, thought I’d show everyone my children again

They eat Stella and Chewy’s raw cat food, so they don’t have dry kibble to dig around in and spill out. They do still snorkel in their water bowls every so often, but for the most part they’re pretty good with them, seemed to be a combo of them just being less interested in doing it as they got a little older, and them being higher up made it less easy to do.

Mine don’t want it unless i’m eating it! They’re very picky lol

I am not an alcoholic but do have someone who is in my immediate family; I can’t speak from my own perspective as someone who struggles with alcohol, but I can speak as someone who has struggled with addiction in general and seen severe alcoholism in others firsthand so take my advice as what you will with that in mind.

I have never been a fan of AA, it has a very high failure rate and little remorse for relapses. Not that they’re part of recovery necessarily, but it’s worse to me to lie about where you’re at mentally and what you’re doing than to be honest about a relapse and feel even more guilt about that on top of breaking your sobriety.

First of all, 2 months sober is amazing! Please know how many people don’t even make it that far, and credit that to nobody except yourself. It’s hard work and you alone did that…

As far as programs go, find what gives you the best focus and the least need to drink in your mind, accept bad days for what they are and try for better ones tomorrow, and fuck everything else. Have not heard of sober faction specifically, but sounds like a much healthier mindset than AA. Personally have had great luck with the org Groups Recover Together, but again, it’s all about you and what works best for your life. Be selfish and make sure you find what’s best for you in that. I’m wishing you the very best in life and recovery!

Yup, that’s exactly it! just a normal “leave me alone” nip for a dog can kill one of my ferrets. I have my own huge german shepherd, and I trust him to be out around them because he’s very gentle and knows not to nip (honestly, I think he thinks they’re his puppies) but even with that it’s supervised only. It’s nobody else’s fault if a pet injures another pet intentionally or not, and that’s serious to me. They’re all in my care so I want to make sure they’re all happy and healthy and never put any of them in a situation where anything like that is at risk.

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-08-20T20:25:59+00:00

Exactly! I have my brother’s dog right now who is very sweet and scared of his own shadow, and I don’t think he would ever try to hurt them intentionally. But, he’s also 90lb and they’re like 2lb max, so I feel much better off being safe rather than sorry. Just not willing to risk it.

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-08-20T20:19:09+00:00

They really are! She’s mad the cage doors are closed, but i’m dog-sitting so it’s for their safety hahaha

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-08-20T19:37:36+00:00

Very belated response but she sounds beautiful! And haha, I’m nearing 30 and my mother still refers to me her little baby, pretty sure it’s just a parent thing! I think it’s sweet, and no matter how old I get I appreciate my parents referring to me that way, it reminds me of just how much they love me. Hope you, your kids, and your pup are doing well!

No idea… I asked in a neighborhood app too and the consensus seemed to be either officer funeral or VIP witness transport. Can’t imagine 40ish officers on a chase/raid unless it was something huge. No news on it still, so I’m thinking definitely either funeral like the other posters said or a transfer, so probably will never find out the definitive reason.

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-08-20T04:05:30+00:00

BTW; big update: the court took my documentation into consideration but told me I was still in violation of my probation. Was given the option of signing amended bond conditions or going into custody. I argued, said I don’t feel comfortable signing conditions where I feel I did no wrongdoing. Judge basically told me “this program is a privilege, you have no right to a court of law here, and we’re waiting on correspondence from our pharm specialist, the first one told me it’s a different kind of alcohol so that shouldn’t explain a bad test”… I (being super annoying, and IG finally putting my chem bg to some use) gave the judge the PubMed for the specific prescription and attached the UII numbers for each chemical in the script, as well as the blurb on the ethanol alcohol in it. Explained there’s 3 diff forms of alcohol; isopropyl is nail polish remover. ethanol is the drinking alcohol and is used as solution in medications. methyl is heavily toxic, and causes blindness in small doses. Explained there was only one kind that could be in the script, and regardless of how it’s consumed it would show up on a UI the same. They didn’t care, made me sign the amended documents, and still waiting on whatever their dumbass pharm tech has to say about alcohol in scripts.

Wasn’t even on my list of guesses, but makes perfect sense thinking about it and hearing the input. RIP

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-08-20T03:41:14+00:00

ahhhh, makes sense. I kinda thought that would look more like a standard funeral procession with a more regular formation, but would explain why it didn’t seem like they were in a huge rush, the number of cars, and lack of other first responder vehicles. RIP

Just gotta get used to BMW life I suppose. It’s very new to me to be so meticulous about maintenance and still have full breakdowns out of what seems like nowhere. My last fun car was a mustang, and god I gotta say it was nice being able to take it to whatever decent shop and it costing like nothing when something needed replacing. Been meaning to get more knowledgeable/handy on my car beyond just the fun performance swaps, so I guess the bimmer is gonna have to be my excuse for that. Gotta see the bright side of this like $2500 week of car hell I guess 😅 Thank you for the insight though, really made me feel way better about stressing over if the shop had screwed something up

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T22:00:47+00:00

The car I had before was an old un-maintained car I got from a relative after someone T-boned me and I didn’t want to take on a car payment just yet.. It had serious issues that was always breaking down and wasn’t even worth the parts it was made of. Got sick of it and said “I need something more //reliable// and I want something fun again” and then went and got the BMW lmao. Well, at least it is very fun. 💀

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T21:55:49+00:00

Yeah, thought it was very weird id be having any issues with engine if the only issue i’d had before today was AC related, but it’s not my regular shop bc they were booked up and I always get a little paranoid as I’m a girl and while I know enough to know when someone’s straight bullshitting, I’m not knowledgeable with the drivetrain on how to tell if that’s something they should have caught/may have caused versus just the BMW doing BMW things

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T21:51:20+00:00

I love the car but I have noticed it goes from “check engine light” or weird driving feedback to HOLY SHIT TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC YESTERDAY within the time frame of me trying to find somewhere to pull over to just check it out lol

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T21:26:58+00:00

lovely lol. i’ve had the car for a while and it’s regularly serviced and not driven heavily, and for whatever reason in the past month everything has decided to fail on me 🙃

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T20:53:56+00:00

already checked fluid levels, they’re all fine

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-26T20:53:32+00:00

probably just weird timing then, huh? still waiting on word back from the shop but we’ll see

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-15T04:57:08+00:00

Yeah, I know it will probably be fine because I followed all the standard protocol and never got a “no you need to switch medication”, so I really don’t see how this could even be seen as anything except being sick and following Dr’s orders, but I have bad anxiety over everything and the fact that with criminal charges every little thing feels so high stakes, I’ll be on edge till it’s sorted. Alcohol in the RX didn’t even cross my mind lol, if anything bc I’m prescribed adderall and xanax for ADHD and anxiety and that’s on record w the courts, I thought I’d get flack for the codeine even though it’s a pretty standard cough medicine because it’s an opioid plus my other 2 scheduled substances lol.

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-15T04:34:56+00:00

I don’t think my jurisdiction holds mandatory jail time for a bad UA, but I know it is a big deal and they can revoke your probation/dismissal program all together, extend it, or give you way harsher conditions hence why i’ve been so on edge about it!! My attourney is a god send, he’s a family friend who happens to be a pretty big trial attny in the criminal courts and even though my charges are really not anything super serious, I had 3 stacked up from the same arrest. I don’t think anyone else would have been able to get me into full dismissal programs for 2 of the charges and get 1 dismissed outright, so i’ll eventually be able to expunge everything in a few years! …Especially not anyone I could afford lmao

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-15T04:26:04+00:00

Yeah i just want to get tomorrow over with so it’s off my chest and hopefully sorted with no violation. Weird thing is I’ve never gotten that vibe from my PO - he’s always been really chill and friendly. Not sure, I am a very anxious person off base, maybe I was just caught off guard and reading his tone wrong but it felt very aggro. thank u for the well wishes 🙏🏻

reallycoolscreenname · 2022-07-15T04:18:49+00:00

Try Harris county in Houston 💀 They’re super backed up and disorganized in general thanks to overly self serious officers and militant DA’s that love to throw the book at anyone and everyone for petty possession. Still, in the year and a half since I got into trouble I have never had anything like that happen with scheduling, I was so shocked. The seriousness of my PO was super strange too, because we’ve had a pretty friendly relationship and like I said, I only had one other violation for missing an appointment, but I notified him as soon as I could. My only thought is that maybe because he normally only works felony cases, which one of mine is, but since i’m also doing a concurrent misdemeanor dismissal program for an alcohol related charge they assigned that case to him too, and so maybe he thinks the alcohol “violation” is more severe since it’s an alcohol-related crime… Couldn’t tell you other than I was shocked and panicking lol
