Big Mac, fries and a Coke please. That’ll be $1.85 with tax. Here’s your meal, some ketchup and napkins and a straw without having to beg for it sir. Is this a drive thru order? No need to pull around to the front. Now you have to pull around front where they forget one third of your food and no ketchup and no napkins and it was only $14.00 for 2/3 of your food. Now you have to walk inside to get your half filled large fry they forgot and my 2 packs of ketchup.

It must be exhausting keeping that level of hate going all the time. What a miserable existence to live like that. She won’t be remembered when she’s gone.

The guy in the middle was in The Big Chill. (Tom Berenger)

I zoomed in and the crust is actually more done than the lighting shows. I’d totally give this shot.

I’ve been bitten multiple times on several occasions. I get really big welts and bad itching from the bites. Chagas is pretty rare so I didn’t really worry about getting tested but the bites themselves are very irritating. Talk to a doctor if you’re worried obviously.

That ain’t goin nowhere.

I’m betting meat is actually involved in their sex life.

For me it’s the spirit of the universe. It’s all that we don’t know. I’m a person of science as well but to think we as humans have more than a tiny bit of understanding the universe would be hugely egotistical. The universe could end my life at any second but it also lets me live and enjoy its wonders. That’s my higher power because it is more powerful than me. I pray to it, I give it my defects. I simply follow the instructions in The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I clean up my side of the street and help others. I fit myself to be of maximum service to my higher power and my fellows. I don’t understand my higher power and I don’t think I would want one that I did understand. Maybe give the steps another try. Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly. Best of luck.

Service commitments are a great way to get motivated and show up. Congratulations on coming back. Some people don’t make it back. Find a sponsor and get moving on the steps. You’ll find a design for living that will work in every part of your life. It sounds like you’re taking the first step. Acceptance is part of the program. Good luck my friend!

Thank you for sharing. This is how I’ve been sober for 6 years now.

This is very close to my story. I drank 35 years. The last ten years was a fifth a day plus beer. The pink cloud was awesome. I’m still doing well. I go to AA and listen to recovery podcasts. I come to this sub and to r/alcoholicsanonomous. It takes time to rewire and get our chemistry back in order.

In my experience I stuck with AA and I don’t have any desire to drink anymore. I can go to bars if I have a good reason and I go to family gatherings that have alcohol. I’ve learned a new way of living. I’m not young but I can still relate because I can’t drink anything because I can’t stop when I start. I drank for 35 years and I would like to have those years back. You have a chance of staying sober while you’re young. That’s a good thing! Trust me, I’m old and wise, lol!

Congratulations. There isn’t anything that drinking can’t make worse. I’m glad you’re in AA. A support group made a huge difference for me in early sobriety. AA is still a big part of my life now. Best of luck to you and I’m very proud of you!!
