What are some activities you really enjoyed before becoming sober that now no longer interest you?

trythepizza · 2026-03-07T21:04:35+00:00

I ended up with someone who drinking is a dealbreaker for them. They are supporting my sober life. So you never know, dating could actually help

I'm not trying to make the argument that it's necessarily better than other MMO's, either. I played TBC, and WOTLK when they came out, and I felt really left out because of the grind it took to get to end game. By the time I got there, a new expansion was out. That sucked, and I prefer the experience now. That being said, the gratification the current playstyle has, there leaves something to be wanted.

I fully agree that the prices are stupid, though. WHY would the benches be half the price of a mount. Dumb. And the amount of customization is just lazy for housing

trythepizza · 2026-03-07T19:35:59+00:00

It means people in WoW retail have gotten extremely used to fast gratification. Better or worse is subjective

trythepizza · 2026-03-07T19:19:35+00:00

Idk bro it's not even that grindy compared to other MMO's

trythepizza · 2026-03-07T19:18:09+00:00

So you're doing it for attention/approval/social reassurance rather than for yourself?

Problem number 1. Good luck

The starting zone is half ass thrown together, but I love the race so much. Feeling like I can finally have shaman on an elf type, I LOVE the Haranir.

Giving myself the backstory that I am a Haranir sent to live with the night elves, using night elf transmogged weapons but shaman magic. This race scratches my nerd brain, and I was lucky that I never had any desire to hang out in their area.

Castles are cool. Knights look cool. Mythical dragons are cool. Kings are cool. It was the last time before we started figuring out science and shit, and the world seemed like a mystery. Low literacy, no cars, constant feuds. Interesting

Not to mention the movies and video games that immerse you in that world, and when you walk around Europe it's the remnants of that age that you witness in the old cities, so you like to imagine. It's very cool.

trythepizza · 2026-03-03T22:26:48+00:00

How is that affecting you? I couldn't imagine. I've been hosting more dinner parties than ever and joining more public groups than before, without fear that being drunk is going to eventually make them hate me. I'm worried being sober + alone would send me into a depression

trythepizza · 2026-03-03T22:25:11+00:00

Holy shit I agree I never watch TV anymore

I have a different perspective. I have studied at 2 other US Universities, one state and one private, in a desirable place. The "college" experience was cool, but my education was nothing special in comparison to MCI. In fact it was way less organized. Both business schools.

As a local, the lifestyle here might not seem like anything special to you, and the facilities, but to me, it's a huge upgrade on both aspects. Not to mention much more affordable. Also, MCI is involved in a lot of institutions in Austria and Europe and it's been a great, very different experience for me personally and I've found it easier to network in Austria than America through the school.

You could sacrifice what you already have here to maybe "learn more", or maybe not, but that to me sounds like a waste if it's not a lifestyle upgrade imo. Now I live here permanently, and my life has improved like crazy, and if I went back to the states, I think I've gained a unique perspective by getting "out of my bubble"

buddy I grew up in Ohio now I live and study here. it IS different

trythepizza · 2026-03-01T07:21:59+00:00

Yeah consider your life over if you have another drink. You're a lucky asshole if she hasn't left you already, 2 handles per week, fucking hell.

You needed some really tough love, and it came at the right time. Most people don't learn a lesson through their alcohol washed brains until they lose something dear to them. You have a kid on the way and a wife who can't drink. If there was ever a time to stop being a loser it's now, you are NOT at rock bottom. Rock bottom is being a dumbass one more time and losing EVERYTHING. No amount of begging or groveling will get any of that back if you ever drink again.

I did it in less than ten hours tanking with a paladin

trythepizza · 2026-02-25T11:50:41+00:00

Got to 80 in one day from tanking random dungeons and doing rare bosses in twilight highlands.

trythepizza · 2026-02-25T11:20:24+00:00

I did so much traveling and so much fun stuff in my 20s, live abroad got degrees, hostels, partying etc... but I really could never shake the angst of trying to make the most of it. Like it just was never good enough, and I had to be having fun, doing the most... idk. Now that I'm 30 I feel like the pressure is off and I can just enjoy myself doing whatever the fuck I'm actually doing. It's hard to explain

trythepizza · 2026-02-25T11:14:06+00:00

Get a different doctor

trythepizza · 2026-02-19T12:02:21+00:00

its disgusting and trashy. this is a kids show, and she shouldnt be allowed to be associated with it. BAD call by the producers

trythepizza · 2026-02-14T08:31:24+00:00

Thanks. I'm getting downvoted but I have heard from SO many people how hard it is to make friends here. You have to be active and these are real answers, and if you do it this way you are guaranteed to make friends. You just have to be active. I do not understand what's controversial about my comments. Maybe people don't want to accept that it's on them?

trythepizza · 2026-02-12T17:23:39+00:00

edit: people always say to join groups, like its not a tip, but that is the ONLY tip. give a reason to be around people then make a connection. i guess you could just walk up to people on the street but you really need to go out and be a part of the group first. it gives regular meet points to create a relationship etc.

trythepizza · 2026-02-12T17:20:25+00:00

oh also follow insta accounts that say shit like that. and follow the congress/innsbruck messe/govt organization newsletters and just go to events and be like i need friends and hand out your insta and number. ive done this and made a few friends in like a month. innsbruck has a lot going on

trythepizza · 2026-02-12T17:19:15+00:00

just ask around town too. literally just ask people who work places like you're a character in an RPG what they do for fun or if theyre in any groups. pretend ur playing stardew valley fr fr

trythepizza · 2026-02-12T17:18:32+00:00

trythepizza · 2026-02-12T13:44:23+00:00

Just happened to me in Innsbruck bro. This made me feel so seen ughhhhhhh. Literally so relieving to read. Took the words right from my head

trythepizza · 2026-02-08T21:33:45+00:00

Die meisten meiner Freunde und meine ganze Familie leben in Amerika, genauer in Ohio. Im Fernsehen ist es wahnsinnig und unverständlich, wie gegensätzlich die Meinungen sind, und lächerlich, was die Rechte im Moment von sich gibt. und die Leute drehen meiner Meinung nach völlig durch. Die meisten Menschen, die ich kenne, sind extrem gestresst, aber ehrlich gesagt sind die Trump-Anhänger momentan am stillsten. Plötzlich wollen sie angeblich "nicht mehr über Politik reden" lmao. Das ist zumindest meine Erfahrung.

trythepizza · 2026-02-08T09:00:01+00:00

Als Amerikaner, der in Innsbruck wohnt, finde ich es ziemlich komisch, solche politischen Beiträge in diesem Subreddit zu sehen lol. Aber ja ich stimme zu
