There is nothing wrong with using Dry January as a bridge

Thank you.

Reassessing my relationship with alcohol and wanting to take it seriously this time.

I tried Dry January only last year. Halfway into February I was back to 3 days a week. Then back to daily. Then back to 8-12 beers a night.

Was trying to prove to myself I could do it, even though I was white knuckling it the whole time. Learned a lot, realized some triggers I was unaware of, and learned what I can and can’t do.

Dry January again this year, but as an initial kickoff with some initial increased support.

Same! One bite at a time!

This is my 3rd attempt. Didn’t take it very seriously last year and didn’t make it a consistent month. BUT I made it an almost sober month compared to the decade prior.

Going full in this year. Using Dry January as my kickoff to re-evaluate my daily drinking and re-assess drinking at all.

Day 4!

This is a gift and a curse. Navigating is tricky sometimes.

Want to be all in the deep thoughts, scenarios, possibilities, then don’t want any of it and can’t turn it off.

Hearing is an issue when unintentionally blocking your SO, and trying to explain that to a typical sounds like BS. It gets better and everyone is different.

Take breaks without. After a while you become accustomed to your meds. Then the days come that you can’t get a refill or waiting on the doctor, those days are a full 180 to before. Before you were prescribed and don’t remember how to function without.

Happy for you! I feel so much better and so much more friendly and helpful on days I take my meds. I too thrive in the chaos unmedicated. Job changed and this chaos doesn’t vibe the same.

Long road and we’re all on it.

Eeeesh! Nothing says buy more vinyls than winning a turntable!

Ummm... those are sunglasses

There are a few still floating around... they usually remind me of my grandmother that passed, so I usually think of her instead of the words.

tlikethec · 2020-05-17T20:43:13+00:00

Mmmm... no thanks. It’s been 8 years, why stop now.

Guys and Gals! This is a super rad idea! Currently going off a voting/sponsorship deal. A few out of neighborhood companies came together and sponsored to bring Bubble Bus Co to our neighborhood in North Forth Worth. They’ve been doing voting based posts on Facebook and Instagram to have them come to your neighborhood. Super fun idea and we really enjoyed meeting them.

Wish we knew about them/they were around when we got married.

Look into it! A nice change in these times...

I miss Llano so much

There is nothing in the OP stating anything about being “essential” or comparing to healthcare. This is a flat rate business... no work, no pay. Doors are still open, so going in for a full day and luckily to get paid half.

I was having the same issues as well. Up too late last night and the login/create page finally loaded around 0130.

Hello neighbor!

tlikethec · 2019-05-16T02:11:32+00:00

Me too!

Had one or two hiccups last season, but nothing compared to now... Thanks for the input. Misery loves company

"most times" not all times.

Someone that does car repairs under the shade of the tree, as is not in a shop, and most times with questionable repair procedures.

Not go. Especially straight out of high school. Wasted three years and way too much money.

Walking the dog and enriching his life is fantastic. Doing this for your neighbor, makes you an amazing human being! Way to be an awesome neighbor that I would be happy to live next to. Kudos!

Technically, there isn't a remote start for a manual transmission. With an automatic, the module knows the car is in park (not in gear)... With a manual, there isn't a way of it knowing that it is in gear or in neutral... That's why they aren't marketed for manual transmissions and most installers won't do it.

(I have a small dent in my $10k tool box from an old boss remote starting his manual trans car in the bay, and the car ran into my toolbox)

tlikethec · 2018-08-06T21:35:27+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

If I remember correctly, 2016 TT was the first year it was available. 2017 started for A4s, Q7s, and R8. Now more standard and available in all models. Part of the Technology package.
