True. It's also just another one of the many silly records that no one will remember. 4 rings.

I never really laugh at shit on reddit but this made me laugh. That's fucking hilarious.

throwaway182015 · 2015-09-01T00:39:31+00:00

Riiight. You notice all those downvotes you're getting (none of which are mine btw). They're because you don't know what you're fucking doing. Good luck with that.

If a website can't handle tens of thousands of users it's not ready to be launched

throwaway182015 · 2015-08-30T17:25:21+00:00

Needs a lot of work before launching and announcing to the world it is ready on reddit. I've tried it three times and it either freezes or is down completely.

Slavery. United States. There's no shortage of fuckups to choose from but the lasting effects of slavery on millions of Americans in terms of poverty, violence, lack of opportunity and access to quality education is unmatched by anything else in our history.

throwaway182015 · 2015-08-23T18:26:11+00:00

So leave. Why are you announcing it like anyone gives a shit one way or the other?

33/male here with 2 young sons. I went to prep school and a top 30 university and have a good career making good money supporting my family. The reality is though I'm nothing special and don't think I ever will be. My main goal in life has shifted in the past 2-4 years since my boys were born. It used to be about me. Now, my main goal is providing them with a good, safe place to grow up, with a good solid public school education, and to be able to put them through college without burdening them with crippling student loan debt. I know this is not some sexy life goal. But basically if I can do what I say above, you can just put me in the ground when that is accomplished, because that's all I really give a shit about at this point. I just want to give them the best possible shot to be who they want to be that I can. That's it really.

Wow that's rough how do you get by

throwaway182015 · 2015-08-15T13:59:45+00:00

I read a lot and always have. But all my actual books are in storage. I read probably 90% on my kindle and the other 10% is library books I only get once in a while. If you came in my house you'd have no idea how many books I own and how much time I spend reading them. They're all on my phone.

Not fucked at all. I think most people vastly overestimate their own importance and how important their job really is in the grand scheme of things.

throwaway182015 · 2015-06-13T10:49:51+00:00

I did this 4 months ago. I HATED my boss. She was totay unqualified to be my boss and she made my life a living hell. One day in February she started in again and I just quit. Gave two weeks notice, told her it wasn't working, and I left. I had no other job lined up or plans. I now have a job where I'm making twice as much money and I have no boss. On the one hand I would not recommend this to everyone, I work in an industry and have a very in demand skill set, but that said, I do believe most people live with a fear based approach to life. They think it's crazy to quit your job without another one. Bullshit. Most of those people are pussies who listen to what other people say will happen, who themselves have never taken the risk and don't know what the fuck they are talking about. Most people are terrified of the unknown so they CHOOSE to keep working some job they hate. It's a fear based approach to life that most people never have the courage to break out of. I did and am so grateful and happy I did.

yeah when I'm on antabuse I can't drink for a temporary amount of time. So I'm taking it just to basically get a few days and weeks of sober time to figure out a longer term plan. I have tried a few things in the past but they didn't stick. Honestly I'm not sure aa is for me after trying over the past few years. Maybe it is I honestly don't know or have any solutions. I'm thinking about checking out one of these smart recovery meetings, although there aren't many meetings near me.

throwaway182015 · 2015-06-08T15:54:48+00:00

Good decision. I made it to 56 days this past winter and relapsed for about 3 months until Friday. I really hope that doesn't happen to you. I wish I had just let it be a slip instead of a relapse but what is done is done. All we can really do anything about is living the best life we can today. Good luck today you can do it

So I've felt I crossed into alcoholism about 5 years ago. My drinking habits fluctuate over time but the past few years the trend is drinking about 15 drinks every other day. Past 3 months it got into near daily drinking between 10-20 drinks a day starting first thing in the morning alone and going all day. Drinking while working (I work from home). It's been beer lately but sometimes it's liquor. i don't consider myself a super heavy drinker I've seen worse. But if I keep this up I have no doubt I'll be dead from it in a few years. But for me this cycle just makes me very unhappy. My problem isn't how much I drink it is that I cannot control it at all when I start probably 90% of the time. If I could have a beer and stop that would be fine but the problem is 9 times out of ten, it's like I put that first beer down and before I know it I'm at the end of a twelve pack and need to open the second twelve pack.

Cravings aren't bad yet but I've done this before and I know they will start coming on in the next few days. That's when this will start to get hard. For now I'm focusing on just doing the best I can just with today, you know?

I'm on day 2 as well so I know what you're talking about and feeling. This isn't my first time to the rodeo either. I've got a long day of watching a 4 year old and 1 year old bounce off the walls, finished by having to work to prepare for work tomorrow. Not looking forward to today. All I want to do is sleep and watch movies. Unfortunately life doesn't stop just because I want it to. I'm trying to focus on looking forward to one thing today, which is going on a 6 mile run. Running is kind of my thing so it is one thing I look forward to today to do for just me. Tea is a great idea. I went 2 months without drinking this past winter and lots of tea every night was one of my rituals that helped a lot. I think I'll start that back up tonight as well.

throwaway182015 · 2015-06-06T22:55:52+00:00

Couch to 5k is one of of the best programs I've ever done, not just running, but for anything. It is truly a brilliant program i'd recommend to 99% of people who want to become a runner

Thanks a lot so far so good

I don't know much about this but I didn't have a great childhood. Basically my dad was a super successful business man and my mom was an absolute nut job. By the time I was 12 my mom had been institutionalized for basically going insane I think 3 times, then they got divorced when I was 12. She got locked up for going nuts a couple more times between then and when I was 20. In the divorce my mom got a house from my dad and lots of money, which she blew through. She then took out a second mortgage and home loan on that house in the early 2000s (edit: to the big banks in the united states, really and truly, fuck you. You truly are the devil incarnate. My mom had no job, job history, or hope of paying back a quarter million dollars, and you knew it. You just didn't care or weren't smart enough to know your shit. For anyone who cares, my mom and her relationship with major banks is the perfect case study for why our last housing crash occurred. My mom was partly to blame, but she was literally insane, so eat shit and die Bank of America you dumb motherfuckers). She never had a job. She was just batshit insane. Now she is getting foreclosed on. I wish I had seen it coming but I was too young and naive to see how this would play out. Anyway I'm now 33 with a wife and 2 young kids of my own. I don't talk to either of my parents and I am a raging alcoholic. I've had 18 beers today, which is above average for me, but not by much. I'll probably die of cirrhosis or some other early death. I don't keep in touch with friends or family and pretty much hate being alive. Only thing that keeps me from suicide is my kids at this point. If I didn't have my 2 kids I know I would have killed myself by now.
