I have a suggestion:

Yup, they went after that guy that fixed his battery w/ less than 20 dollars in plumbing parts from damage hitting some simple road debris. The only option they gave him was a new batter for an ungodly amount of money.

Thats wild, none of those resources were around when I was that age.

I sat in a meeting, it was late here so I hit a west coast meeting. Nice group of folks, it was helpful hearing others talk about being sober and the issues before and after. Definitely will keep exploring as I get a better feel for the community.

Jail breaking these would be amazing. F their subscriptions for heated seats and more HP, I have all the options now!

My guess is the BYDs would be the easiest considering how bad their security is atm. I know Tesla is a bunch of ass hats when it comes to self repair. They would lose their mind if they lost control of their cars.

This why Tesla’s are banned in any strategic areas in China. They worry about the same play that they are going to do when the BYDs enter Canada. Rolling spy machines.

Also the cars are easy to hack…

I remember @ 7-8yo going to the local convenience store with a note to buy my mom cigarettes.

Dang there are a ton of them up there!

Ok I’ll give it a go and let you know how it goes after. Than you again!

Gah I wish I was near one of those cities, I’m not to far from DC though… Thats a heck of a drie though.

I will say today has been better than yesterday. Kept busy, started taking a vitamin B complex per a lot of the big med/sobriety sites. Got out of the house for a bit, next will find a local meeting. Its slim pickin’s unless I want to drive over an hour.

Now about calling, I’m terrible about that, rather an introvert when it comes to talking to strangers.

But right now its one moment at a time. Keeping everything low stress and low sensory overload. The last two falling offs was socializing too much too fast IRL. Felt great and was whats the harm in one… Then 2 two weeks later I’m back at it at the same levels.

Kinda why I’m slow on the meetings/seeing trusted friends atm.

Maybe she’s “Taking it back”

“Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!”

Thats got to be tough getting dry when you deal w/ booze all the time.

I’m feeling it that is not easy. Craig Ferguson talks about it pretty candidly in one his monologues. I try to keep that in mind right now. If it was easy to kick there would be a single drunk on the planet…

1. Japan
2. Costa Rica
3. Argentina
4. Thailand
5. Poland

I feel that, it sucks I have a beer shop and a liquor story literally right next door. I just opted for funny/interesting YT vids until midnight. My version of hanging onto the bed.

I opted out of ant zoom calls as I was trying to get the thoughts out of my head. Slept terrible, couldn’t fall asleep until 0400 and the most surreal dreams kept that sleep fitful at best.

I do feel better than yesterday so so thats keeping going. Need to eat more today, head feels much clearer, I think some gator-aid or the like would be a good idea too.

And thanks for taking the time to reply, its helping more than you know.

I’ll try a speaker meeting asap, hearing stories like you posted will be inspiring because if they can do it so can I. And 3 hours will be the end of day 2, looking forward to starting day 3 :)

I’ll give that a go, I’m struggling a bit right now and I can’t let going back happen. Hour and a half that option is gone (can’t sell beer after midnight here). Until then off to see what meetings are open.

I love listening to baseball and hockey vs watching it. You have to imagine the game, gets those electrons firing.

I definitely need the distraction tight now.

Ok thats what I needed, now the meetings notes make more sense.

I’ll dig in tomorrow, tonight I’m still feeling out of sorts. Or maybe just listen in a online meeting. But on a brighter note my symptoms feel like they are going away. No heart racing, no fever, just feel icky w/ a very light headache and the occasional sweating.

I’ll keep you posted tomorrow (Day 2) on how its going. Also I have to say it again thank you for all the help/explaining/etc it means a lot!

Will do, online is probably better option until I feel normal again. It would just be super awkward to be there IRL.

And I have seen a lot of jargon in my looking around like open/closed meetings?

Anyone remember when the French farmers got pissed off at the government and used a manure spray to coat the president house outside and inside?

Oh and they did it again to clear their fields of “travelers”

I’ll check out that app. And I get wanting big city meetings over what I have run into in rural area’s. The infighting was nauseating. Crosstalk, threats, epeen comparing, I walked of the last one midway thru.

I hit a couple meetings in LA and San Diego (before I got bad I went to support a friend) and meetings were 100x more civil. So I seen what your saying. And like you said way diverse, I got more out of it than you know.

Again thank you and everyone else on here for taking the time to help me.

Looking forward to that time :)

Right now its a light headache, stomach inst happy and go back from hot to hold every other minute. Oh and can’t stop yawning, so its a ton better than 12 hours ago.
