Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Unfortunately I get off work at 11pm and not much is open that late so I rarely go out.

Camo baseball cap. I only wore it to go dove hunting. Only other hat I wear is a beanie if it’s cold.

I have a big one rather than a small one. 11 years sober off all drugs and alcohol. Took going to rehab and sober living after but I made it.

Does a clothes iron get hot enough? Since it can make direct contact it might work better

F.lux removes blue from the screen. Makes it easier on your eyes.

As a Texan, I can absolutely attest to this

Oak tree. Destroys slabs like no other.

Desktop for gaming or any intense programs, laptop for studying and other browsing I want to do on the couch, phone I use for most chatting at work and with family and friends and looking things up on the go and doom scrolling. Also, phone has lots of audio books

Did way too many drugs and dropped out

11 years sober and hoping to graduate this semester

I’m a recovered addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I think one of the reasons I’m still sober is I remember the terrible feeling of going to bed every night not wanting to drink or use, yet every morning I would be calling my plug or immediately picking up a bottle.

I highly recommend attending an AA meeting. In the beginning they will likely ask if it’s anyone’s first time at an AA meeting. As awkward as you might feel, raise your hand. The topic should then be geared towards the newcomer, exactly what you want to hear. When the meeting was over, talk to someone. They will listen to you with out judging and share their experiences with the same thing.

As an alcoholic, my problem wasn’t the drink or drug. My problem was that I wasn’t content in my own skin and wanted anything to change the way I felt. Alcohol was just a solution, and the solution stopped working.

I won’t lie and tell you everything is rainbows and sunshine since I got sober, but my quality of life has drastically changed. I have self worth and can sit comfortably in my own skin.

Seeking therapy is also something I highly recommend if you can afford it.

If you have any other questions or just want to talk, please dm me. If you’re in the Houston area, I can take you to a meeting.

Red Lights or Leaves of Grass.

Starburst Jellybeans. My favorite.

I’ll reiterate what most have said. They’re not a reoccurring problem and you forget about them after a bit. As for direct contact with the anus, depends on how your body is shaped. If it’s puckered in, then it won’t. If it’s flush with the curve of your inner crack, then it will. I never really paid attention to it.

I wish I could be as handsome when I make my awkward ass smile.

I can see this being accurate. I’ve seen it where cars are jammed up before the road narrows and free flowing by the time the road actually narrows. The largest road block (pun intended) to this that I see is driver competency, and people letting them in.

I do machine repair in the evening shift. If nothing is broken, I generally don’t have much to do. They don’t bitch too hard because they know if shit goes down, I’ll work 16 hrs on a Saturday to get it working. I have access to a metal mill and lathe and spend a lot of down time learning and creating personal projects on it. Hell, I built a wooden bedframe and no one said a thing.

My parents rent out a room to a traveling nurse since my brothers and I moved out, the space was just going to waste. I’m not positive on what she pays, but I think it’s around $500.

My parents and grandparents own rent houses. They’re active property managers. Most fixes they do themselves. My summers growing up were working on them.

I think the difference between what they do and the corporate owned apartment I’m staying in is the “personal touch” (for lack of a better term). When the owners have never even seen the property, they see renters as numbers on paper instead of people.

Audiobooks mainly. I fix machines or create my own diy projects with my hands so I can continue it’s much easier to consume.

If the series I’m listening to is really good, I end up subscribing to their patreon and reading chapters as soon as they release them.

Absolutely!!
