Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

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

I’m subscribed! It’s one of my favorite series. Also, The Mark of the Fool is another good series.

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

As a Texan, I can absolutely attest to this

I work with my hands so if my hands are covered in grease or dirt or whatever I wash my hands before taking a piss. I do wash my hands after as well.

This is why I use a trackball mouse when on the couch.

Fuck Russian politics and policies* I like to believe that most Russians just want to live and drink vodka

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

Red Lights or Leaves of Grass.

Semi related: I’m studying for a Linux certification and at the end of each chapter they have 10 practice questions with answers in the back of the book. Almost every time, the explanations of the answers get shorter until there’s basically just the answer by question 10. It feels like they just got tired of working

Las Vegas doesn’t give a fuck how drunk you are to enter the airport. Literally had to guide and push my drunk coworker through TSA. I’m not sure if he even remembers getting on the plane.

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.

That’s very possible. I haven’t done in-depth research on it.

Addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I got sober at a rehab and stayed sober through Alcoholics Anonymous. First, there’s a difference between chemical dependence and addiction. Often these things go hand in hand. Chemical dependence means your body will go through withdrawals if you stop taking in the substance. Something like weed has no chemical dependence aspect, but you can still be addicted to it. Heroin and alcohol can have heavy chemical dependence, and you can be addicted to those.

What AA teaches is not that alcohol is bad. Alcohol is a solution to the problem, but the solution no longer works. The base problem is I wanted to change the way I feel. AA creates a new way to change the way you feel in a healthy way.

If you look at it from that aspect, what you’re replacing is how you change how you feel. Personally, between ADHD and addiction, I very much display addictive behaviors to other things. Whether that’s hyperfixation or addiction, I’m not sure.

What I do know, is that I have no moderation to mind and mood altering substances. If they came out with a miracle pill and said, take one and your addiction will be gone forever, I’d ask for 2.

I work 3pm-11pm so I always say I work the evening shift.

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