  • I've got 38 days today. Last night was my first NYE without alcohol in decades. Tried to sleep through it, but was woken to hundreds of gun shots, which is fun.

    But I made it. Planning on hitting a meeting today with a house mate from the sober house. I'm not much of one for 12 step meetings, but it's a low cost to pay for the opportunity to get my life back together over the next 13 months in this program.

  • I appreciate it. I'm struggling for sure. Stuck inside at the sober house for a few more days - blackout period and all that. The house is in the hood. Literally heard automatic gunfire last night. Ugh. I'm just venting and I'm done now. For now lol.

  • I'm sitting here, bored as hell in a sober living house. Struggling to not lose my mind right now, but just keep remembering I've got 37 days clean and sober for the first time in forever.

    The cravings are real as fuck.

  • I used that until they pay walled it. Then I found Pidgen I believe it was called. It was open source and could connect to pretty much every messenger and IRC and stuff. Then my friend just switched to texting lol

  • Lync was such garbage. I used that for years at one of my old jobs. Teams just feels like discord with extra shittiness lol.

    The worst part is that they had developed an in-house app that worked amazing but abandoned it for teams.

  • Reddit mods are basically in the belief that they're Mao Zedong. When I created and ran a subreddit /r/treecomics way back in the day, I got accused of being too light on reposts. Like if it was within a couple days I would just remove it. Unless someone was constantly doing it, there's no harm. Lighten the fuck up people.

    So glad I'm permabanned for saying that neonazis in my city should learn how to bite a curb.

    How to delete everything but OS securely?

    I'm looking to sell my laptop. I've used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there's no recoverable data?

    Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

    Edit to add: I don't have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there's a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?

    Really odd thing happened last night

    Curious if I'm overthinking things or if this might actually be possible. I got out of detox yesterday and the experience was... Bad this time around. I was really triggered by my treatment by the staff and wanted to drink so badly. I didn't, but I did meet up with a few friends and have a few near beers. 3 over the course of 4 hours. By my calculation, that should be 0.18oz of alcohol max, if the brewery is to be believed.

    They were Athletic, which is a pretty trusted brand. I didn't feel intoxication at all. It just helped with the cravings and stuff.

    About 4 hours after my last one though, I could swear I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms for about an hour and a half. Cold sweats, intense nausea, severe anxiety - granted I always have anxiety lingering around. No tremors thankfully, and it passed.

    The only other idea I had was food poisoning from getting non hospital food, but I've never heard of food poisoning lasting that shortly.

    Thoughts? Either way I'm staying away from
