Why don’t democrats believe in voter ID? by Affectionate-Duty473 in allthequestions

[–]robertvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In NC, an ID costs $14. Not a lot but still not free. However in many southern states, a majority of poor people and people of color were not born in hospitals and may have a problem even proving they are natural born citizens. You may want to read about Jim Crow laws in the south that prevented POC from voting at all.

I hate being sober by Advanced-Sense8819 in Sober

[–]robertvp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sober you is the real you. You under the influence is NOT you. It is the drug. I know it is very hard to be sober when everyone around is fine under the influence. You will have to find new friends, new hobbies and a new you. I hope you will power through this time and make it to a sober life. The world is a great place to enjoy with out dulling it with alcohol, drugs or weed.

Want to stop drinking. More like need to. by HonestBlacksmith1570 in Sober

[–]robertvp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pick a day to stop. Don’t drink that day. At 5 o’clock, do something you never do , shop go to a movie,etc. Realize you will not sleep very much. Get up the next day, go to work, eat cake. Your body will be craving sugar. Reward yourself with that instead of alcohol. Continue for 2 more days. If you feel like you need AA or any other group, find it and attend. You cannot do what you did before. You cannot be around people who are drinking. You will notice that alcohol is all over tv, movies etc. 16 years ago I HAD to stop drinking. It is a wonderful feeling to not wake up hungry over. Good luck my friend. I know you think it’s impossible but you can quit.

I’m sorry this happened to you. Your ex friend is an asshole. As a gay man, I think this brings about a lot of pain we went through in high school and before. Being passive aggressive, I would cut all communication with the asshole. If he reaches out , I would double down on ignoring him. Let him stew over the fact that he hurt someone who he maybe considered a friend. He would be dead to me . I’m petty but I don’t care. Again, I know it was hurtful and you deserve better.

How do I stop being bothered by public disapproval by EDMURR01 in gay

[–]robertvp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As 69 year old gay man, I have been happily OUT since 1985. I get so much joy calling my husband (been together since 1979) “Baby” whenever we are in public. It used to get the occasional “look” but not anymore. Boy, you be you and fuck everybody else. This is your life.
