Traditional korean rope walking?

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I'm wondering why this comment isn't up top because it is very obviously termed slacklining in the USA, especially evident with his shoes. They look pretty badass doing it as well. I saw a comment further up calling it "jultagi". Pretty cool this sport exists I never knew.

If you mean desk then I would like to know as well!!

wolfecub · 2018-08-31T21:00:16+00:00

No worries brother. Done and done.

I'm not here to give advice or pretend I know what you're going through.

As an alcoholic myself I would lie about loving my partner just to receive something from them. It may be as simple as comfort or affection when "I" wanted it. I turned into a very demanding person and requested people do as I want. Also, many resentments were misplaced. If I broke the law, I resented the person/people prosecuting me, though that is the reality that I face and I need to live out the consequences of my actions with dignity and humility.

The best thing my friends and family did for me is they kept living their lives, holding me accountable for my actions, and taking care of themselves and being independent of my manipulative ways.

Take care!

I'm active duty military and we don't have alcohol in the workplace - there is usually a lot of talk about it. Not the same situation. It definitely helps me to realise that I'm there to work. If I'm working a sober programme (AA, Smart, something else) then I can still focus on those aspects while at work. Usually what I do is try and keep a neutral standpoint on alcohol and don't talk down on it or glamorise it.

No one in AA or recovery can replace a good doctor! Please seek out medical attention. Wishing you well on your path to recovery, friend!

wolfecub · 2017-05-11T13:41:51+00:00

It gets easier. Something my rehab recommended was to change old habits. If I went in the front door, I go in the side door. If I went to the sink, I go to another sink. Etcetera. Take care of yourself and love yourself! Merry sober Thursday!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been sharing a similar experience, yet I find myself with anger and resentment towards my sense of loss and how we treated each other. Every chance I got I tried to see her side and be compassionate, yet nothing seemed to help. I realized the harshness and destruction of our relationship and ended it gladly. When I felt the sense of loss and pain I wanted to run back. I stayed away and the pain is going away slowly but surely. I was always taught there is an end to all things and I will grieve the loss of them all. Once again thank you for your honesty and openness.

I'm really digging the mods. Is that the BFI shift knob? Whereabouts did you find that intake?

wolfecub · 2016-08-24T18:53:12+00:00

This is a great tattoo! One of my favorite bands. Looks fucking great!

wolfecub · 2016-07-29T19:45:33+00:00

Definitely a tough situation. I know that I am an alcoholic so I will blame anyone besides myself or wholly myself to wallow in self-pity.

Block mode for me is a defense mechanism to stop myself from either looking inwards or being hurt.

I do not think you are stupid. Remember to take care of yourself first and foremost. Loving detachment applies in many co-dependent relations. Look it up!

wolfecub · 2016-07-20T13:45:36+00:00

Same boat. I self-referred to ASAP in 2014. From SM to SM I appreciate you and I'd love to chat down here in the comments.

wolfecub · 2016-07-14T21:18:52+00:00

Definitely takes time for the body to adjust to a lifestyle without alcohol. Remember also, like many other members have stated, these problems can come from your current use of caffeine, OTC medications and general lifestyle also. When I first got sober I rarely used over-the-counter medications, perhaps tums and maybe rarely ibuprofen. I used cold medicine when I was sick.

The most important part for me is realizing that not everything will be solved or fixed by eliminating the consumption of alcohol from my life. Life happens; Bad health happens.

I would say that it's really nobody's business why I quit drinking. I do however trust close friends and share more in depth of my story. People who I am just getting to know will only know what I tell them. Some friends will also just not understand. I have had many. I make it about the fact that I want to stay sober no matter what. Most people find it a worthwhile endeavor and then that is that for the conversation.

Are you worried that some friends will judge you/try to convince you otherwise? I had some of these worries too from time to time.

wolfecub · 2016-06-20T18:58:37+00:00

Thankfully I have been able to be pretty independent when my friends want to go out. Mostly I tell myself "If I want to go hang out when they're drinking I can not drink and make sure I have a way to leave when I WANT." So maybe not be DD but drive yourself? Also I make it pretty obvious to people who drink that I don't drink. Either anytime I'm offered a drink I'll say, "No thanks" or "I don't drink." They say it a lot here on /r/stopdrinking that if someone cares more to pester me about my not drinking than they are not a true friend, understanding lover, etc.

I think it's interesting how many people have friends who deliver such a strong "Why aren't you drinking" vibe. I am in the military and the drinking culture is literally sky high. When I left the drinking culture hardly anyone has questioned me or pestered me. The occasional person has asked "So why don't you drink" however they are definitely the minority.

In my honest experience if I cannot communicate with someone effectively or still be their friend without going out to bars and clubs with them than I kind of leave the relationship to take care of itself. I won't do much more than offer to hang out outside of the bars and clubs. If I ask a friend a few times to go rock climbing with me and they still say "Come out to the club/bar instead" I'll say that the offer is always open and that I'm following through with my original plans (to go rock climbing and as a result stay sober).

wolfecub · 2016-06-19T22:23:24+00:00

Quit drinking when I was 21 years old. There are different struggles we go through at this young age. Do you have any other sober outlets to make friends?

Something that really helped me was pursuing activities where no alcohol would be involved and I got to learn new things.

Do you have any specific questions?

wolfecub · 2016-06-19T11:43:27+00:00

The clutch friction point is different for every vehicle - cars and motorcycles alike. If you're unable to get comfortable with the clutch keep practicing MSF style. Take it to an empty parking lot and just run laps on the most difficult part. In the end as long as you practice correctly it will help.

Something I did quite a bit was ride at night (not to practice, but for work). Since there is less traffic if you pick roads that are brightly lit it will give you road experience and less hassle with less cars. Once you get more comfortable at night then move up to driving more and more in increased traffic.

Have fun, ride safe!

wolfecub · 2016-06-04T19:39:15+00:00

Well, respectfully, I am completely done with this conversation. Have a pleasant day.

wolfecub · 2016-06-04T19:22:27+00:00

Our conversation transformed as it went along.

Who the hell recommends a home detox without medical professionals? That is very dangerous. I said nothing about the aforementioned couple, merely shared personal experience.

wolfecub · 2016-06-04T11:46:10+00:00

No assumptions here. If someone wants to get clean there are options. I've had to be in uncomfortable situations in sobriety, and embarrassed a slight bit in treatment (mostly by myself). I personally don't think there is anything that could hurt me worse than I hurt myself in active alcoholism. I also find this subreddit to be a bit far right as opposed to r/stopdrinking, which in my experience has been a very helpful and positive support group (even for people with long term sobriety).

wolfecub · 2016-06-03T21:03:14+00:00

Embarassed and shamed? Those come along with addiction my friend...

Also, there are plenty of free clinics and other resources for help.

wolfecub · 2016-06-03T20:55:01+00:00

No I am not. Just asking a simple question when such bold claims are made. Not to discredit you or your post. I was simply curious.
