Let’s not get bogged down with the details. /s. ;)

Two outta three ain’t bad.

If I believe I can do it, I can do it.

Maybe like… just… try your best. Start small. Try to be just a little bit better every day.

Meeeow!

One of these days man… S’gonna be ET.

Sooo… not aliens?

Exactly. Big breakfast the following morning is the way to go

It was really cold yesterday

I’ve had my global knives since 2012. Excellent bifl product. And elegant to boot

So much prettier than my colon. Though not as spacious.

Samesies

This looks like fall

You’re awesome. You see that the road you were on was a dead end. So many people do not. Be proud and grateful that you are wise enough and love yourself enough to seek something greater.

200ish days sober here after many false starts and failed attempts. Here’s what’s working for me (may or may not work for anyone else):

My philosophy is to build a life that I don’t want to risk losing by doing drugs. That’s my big picture approach.

The other side is knowing that I also have a chronic neurological/biochemical problem that has to be treated with meds, and therapy.

Final piece of the puzzle—I’m a spiritual being that needs to be connected to a larger whole. I get this through my job in healthcare, loving and honest relationships with friends and family, and by reveling in the beauty, awesomeness, and mystery of the universe.

Godspeed, fellow traveler.

I have no advice but am very intrigued about what type of championship the trophy is for.

Reminds me of that les mis song.

You prompted me to listen to the song after many years since hearing it last. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it on the regular since.

So… I’m 36. Divorced… in the midst of going back to school to pursue my passion. Moved to Canada to live for cheap with a friend. Struggled with addiction.

My advice… take it one day at a time. Some days you have to buckle down and get shit done. But others, you have to be still and know… enjoy… chill.

A song you might enjoy: “A little bit of everything” by Dawes.

Cheers!

Placebo effect ≠ therapeutic effectiveness. If 60% can be expected to experience the placebo effect, that doesn’t mean that 60% will experience therapeutic relief.
