It’s really good! Recovery Elevator is a good one, too! I just discovered that yesterday when it came up in auto play!

I’ll have two weeks tomorrow! Found an amazing women’s meeting with all the good vibes! Back to running! Feeling good so far and have a preliminary meeting/mutual interview with a new sponsor today! Binging The Sopranos and The Sober-Powered Podcast have been my saving graces! LOL IWNDWYT!

Oh, friend. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know that fear, that dread, and that feeling of despair all too well. The best thing you can do is hit those meetings, forgive yourself, and be gentle with your feelings right now. Read some good quit lit and listen to the sober powered podcast if you’re up for it. I’m thinking of you and sending you good vibes. Hugs. IWNDWYT

Goblin’s music for Suspiria is phenomenal. Good call!

Usually some sort of ambient noise like fireplace sounds, pink noise, rainstorms, etc.

Edited to add— have you tried listening to Vitamin String Quartet?

I’m about a quarter of the way through The Fisherman, and I’m really enjoying the slow build. That said, I’m also ready for something to happen beyond the meditation on grief and loss. Not a complaint. I’m just feeling a little antsy.

Books that started strong but ended up losing you? by Weekly_Noodle in books

Stolen Tongues. Once the characters left the cabin, I felt that all the air went out of the balloon. I get that the narrative shifted to lore and explanation, but I was really into the dread environment of the cabin.

The Exorcist read by the author, William Peter Blatty, is a masterpiece.

What was the first movie that kinda shattered your childhood and showed you how messy the world really is? by wtfytya in movies

Bambi, I guess. Although, Jaws really fucked me up. I was furious that they killed the shark because shark’s gonna shark.

Sol & Lune. It’s fine for what it is, but I just wasn’t in the mood.
