Looking for real sobriety stories—how did you quit drinking and turn your life around?
2025.02.02 02:51 theworkinghands Looking for real sobriety stories—how did you quit drinking and turn your life around?
If you’ve gone through recovery, I’d love to hear your story in the style of the Big Book.
How did alcohol impact your life, what was your turning point, and how has sobriety changed things for you?:
- What was your life like before sobriety?
- What was your ‘moment of clarity’ that made you decide to stop drinking?
- How did you find AA (or another recovery path), and what was your early sobriety like?
- What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned since getting sober?
- How do you maintain your sobriety today?"*

2025.02.02 02:51 Pale_Enthusiasm_5535 Season 4: first time watcher
Im a first time watcher and I’ve made it to season 4. WHY IS EVERYONE SO INSUFFERABLE!???
Caroline- the way she treats Lauren about her weight is so uncalled for (not like she’s a size 2). The way she tries to parent everyone else is also annoying (Currently on the field day episode). Just because someone isn’t handling their kids the way you see fit doesn’t give you the right to overstep a boundary (I think Kathy approached Gia’s meltdown way better). Her storyline is hating Teresa and shitting on Lauren while praising her sons.
Jaqueline - I loved Jaqueline in the first season… now not so much. Again, the way she treats her daughter is deplorable (but tried to parent Gia). I also don’t like the way she feels obligated to be inserted into the Gorga/Guidice drama but complains about ‘being in the middle’.. maam you’ve put yourself there!!!
Melissa/Joe Gorga - these two can use a lesson on accountability! Some of the “drama” feels very forced. Melissa wants to be the star and have everyone like her and im convinced they saw the popularity Tre was getting from the show and went on a mission to step on her for their moment. Every time you think it’s mended, here these two go! Stirring another pot. Sick of her fake crocodile tears. I think she thrives in Joe G not getting along with his sister. I truly believe she’s one of those women who want to isolate their husband from their own family so they can prioritize them and their side of the family.
Teresa - another one that can use an accountability crash course! She just can’t seem to grasp her role in all her issues with the Gorgas… it’s tiring. I truly think that she doesn’t think before she speaks.
Kathy- I really did not like Kathy in her debut season but! She’s actually likable this season and I think that’s because she’s a true neutral party.

2025.02.02 02:51 PrecookedMage Lost Multiple Play Sessions on Horizon: Zero Dawn
Hello Reddit,
(No spoilers, don't worry)
First time poster. I have been playing HZD for a long time. My updated playtime is 18 hours. I love this game. Recently I went to play again after a couple week hiatus and noticed that the surroundings looked different. Checked the map and I lost progress. Not even a couple of hours, I got pushed back by MULTIPLE play sessions (at least 2-3 play sessions). 1/8 of the map exploration gone, 20+ map locations missing, I even killed a minor boss and that's gone too. Has anyone else had a situation where they lost not just one, but multiple play sessions?

2025.02.02 02:51 Human-Shop-4418 Haunted or scary posts?
So after a Lil bit I got moved to cover a bigger location. It's a college. All my coworkers swear up and down it's haunted and recently I got a spook near the old human biology labs in the "old" science building. I asked a longer term employee and there's a old situation due to site abandonment during covid too disgusting to mention on reddit. Other stories of course followed. So begs the question... ever worked a haunted or scary aus post?

2025.02.02 02:51 sjllayer Help! Total boy house
I have been struggling with our living room, I live with two guys who only ever want to sit in (and fight over) this old recliner part of a sectional. Normally the couch sits right next to the recliner, against the wall. And the desk is usually partially along the partial wall with bad paintings (it’s sucky it’s a corner desk).
So far I cannot budge them on getting rid of anything or getting anything new. This is what I’ve got to work with… HELP But also open to suggestions on new things to look for!
I really want it to feel cozy and just use the space more wisely.

2025.02.02 02:51 Nerfan30 Tarkov incredibly laggy
I was recently having trouble with tarkov taking up all of my memory so I upgraded to 32 gb of RAM, and that fixed the memory usage issue, but the problems that came with it persist, I still have the game freezing and stuttering, high ping, packet loss, really low FPS. I'm not sure what more I could do to fix it as it's only taking up 60% of my RAM on top of everything else that would be running (web broswer, discord, etc.) I have an ethernet cable plugged in and have never had issues like this up until about a week ago.

2025.02.02 02:51 Legitimate-Elk-8799 Need some reassurance about tickets i bought
Hello! today my mother suprised me with tickets to the weeknd concert but she bought them before the presale which starts in two days and im unaware and afraid about if we are actually going to get the tickets. I have told her multiple times that she should call her credit card company and dispute the payment before the presale starts so that she can use the money for the presale instead but she is set on staying with the tickets she has on this website. My question is that is this type of stuff regular? like are tickets that are sold before presale known to be mildly legit? I am aware that this is not a 100% safe and legit website but to work with my situation and have some piece of mind id like some reassurance. Thank you. :) (PS i have been looking all over tiktok and only finding fear mongering people so for the sake of my sanity i'm coming to y'all for some actual truth)

My old Bishop told me that in order to do the changes that they have made to the temple endowment session in the last year or two, they have been using AI. For example, he said that some of the characters and the things they do have been done by AI. I am curious to know if anyone has any insight on that, if it's legit? Thanks!

2025.02.02 02:51 singletnt Within the span of a week my 4-foot cornsnake has gone missing.
 | So I just went back to college two weeks ago and my brother has been feeding and spraying him when I’m not there. He has a pretty large enclosure, at-least 40 gallons. I plan on upgrading once I move to my own apartment since he’s a big boy but right now the tank DOES fit him. There’s lots of hides (4+) and things to climb on. But last night I got a text from my mom saying he was missing. I came home tonight and confirmed it. We’re thinking he got out sometime after my brother fed him. Anyway I was decided to come on here to ask for advice on how to find him. We’re thinking he’s either still in my room or the attic, but honestly he could be anywhere. We have a very large house. He’s so big (picture doesn’t really reflect his size) which confuses me as to how he could vanish without any signs. If anyone has gone through something similar and knows some good tips for finding him, please let me know. I set a mouse (frozen) in my room tonight to see if he’s still in there. I just want my baby Heathcliff to be safe. submitted by singletnt to snakes [link] [comments] |
2025.02.02 02:51 StefanEats My Difficulty Class Revamp
I don't know about you, but I've caught myself giving my players a lot of DC 15 skill checks.
The Unnecessarily Lengthy Preamble 15 feels like the perfect number to come between a difficult task and a heroic character. I rarely call for a DC 10 check, and anything DC 5 feels patronizing- just let them succeed! Meanwhile, I do give a few DC 20 checks, but especially running low campaigns it's almost pointless to call for anything above. But even so, the number 15 gets a little stale after so much use...
Now obviously this is pretty flawed reasoning- skill checks can run the gamut or not, and there's no problem if a lot of things the players want to do end up being "kinda hard.” And yes, there's descriptions and examples for all this stuff, but there's all sorts of disagreements on how exactly to interpret those (see these two discussions where the consensus of each comment section seems opposite the other).
Regardless, I can't help but think about it. Especially when I set a DC 15 and my players get a 14, I can't help but think well that's still pretty good… or worse, they get an 18 or 19 on a DC 20, and I think man, that should still succeed! But I already set the difficulty, so I'm not changing it now. This has happened to me frequently, and it haunts me.
So if your brain is half as weird as mine, you may appreciate this:
The Actual Tip It’s stupidly simple: I changed the DC scale that I use from intervals of 5 to intervals of 4. Now it looks like this:
| DC | Description |
|---|---|
| 8 | Easy |
| 12 | Medium |
| 16 | Kinda Hard |
| 20 | Hard |
| 24 | Very Hard |
| 30 | Nearly Impossible |
The Much-Needed Explanation Let's start at the top and address that the lowest difficulty possible is now 8. Like I said, a DC 5 check is almost insulting to the players. Every example I’ve heard for DC 5 is something like “spot something plainly visible” or “lift something made of styrofoam” where failure would be downright embarrassing. In this game, we don’t roll dice on anything “trivial.” Moving the “Easy” DC down to 8 feels a little more true to the word easy. It puts the odds in the player’s favor 99% of the time, but still allows players to fail without questioning their competence quite as much.
You may still find yourself in certain situations hoping for an even lower DC, perhaps because you do want the possibility to make a character look incompetent. In this extremely niche situation, there’s nothing funnier than telling your player the DC is 2.
Now regarding the mid-range: “Medium” is now indeed closer to 50/50 as an average skill check for an average low/mid-level character, while 16 gets a new category of “Kinda hard.” The casual phrasing is as close as I could get to how I think of it. While I still give out a lot of DC 16 checks, DC 12 shares the load A LOT more than 10 ever did. This is obviously the most important part of the new scale to me. It gives me a little more granularity without requiring me to think much more about how hard something should be.
20 as Hard is obviously unchanged, and I think that’s great. Getting a 20 is Hard. Meanwhile 24 as Very Hard is made just a little easier. To me, 24 is an impressive number and if someone gets a 24, they can clearly do something that’s Very Hard.
Now to address the elephant on the scale- obviously there’s a bit of inconsistency: If it’s based on intervals of 4, why is Nearly Impossible still 30?
Because they were right. 30 is exactly where Nearly Impossible should be. If you call something Nearly Impossible, the point is that it’s a stupidly high number that none but the most skilled of folk should even bother trying. Yes, it leaves a gap of 6. That’s fine. Frankly, our Commoner (or low-level Bard if you want to flatter yourself) brains are useless at judging the difficulty of extremely difficult things with any level of precision. I doubt you understand what goes into convincing a high-ranking military leader to betray their country, doing a standing 360-double-backflip, or performing open heart surgery with a dagger and some kitchen utensils. If you do happen to be one of the best in the world at something, sure, you can tell me what’s a DC 26 and a DC 28, IN THAT FIELD. But for everything else, we get 24 and 30.
The Mercifully Brief Conclusion So that’s the revamp I use for my D&D games. Ever since I switched over I noticed myself calling for more varied skill checks. I can’t say how many 12s would have been 15s, or whether any of my 8s would have been 5s instead of 10s, but it feels like the whole scale is actually worth using now.
But please, let me know what you think. Is this brilliant? Misguided? Is my whole thought process the result of a failed DC 2 Arcana check?

Efectivamente de hoy en adelante estaremos apoyando 100% a Melody y con mucho orgullo como todos y cada uno de los años.
Ahora bien, se ha votado el nombre esta noche o se han votado las propuestas? La propia Melody ha dicho post gala que va a cambiar muchas cosas de la canción y la puesta en escena la va arreglar para eurovisión. Es decir, ni ella misma cree que lo que ha llevado funcione como está ahora mismo. Si lo único que vamos a valorar son los nombres, puesto que Melody ya tenía la victoria agenciada llevara lo que llevase, entonces mejor optar por una elección de artista como hace Isr**l... No sé, a mi los resultados de esta noche me han dejado la idea del festival en otro punto. Tenemos que valorar los packs completos, los deberes tienen que estar hechos para el benidorm fest. Y Melody no los tenía hechos. A mi parecer en el único punto que ha destacado es en la voz, como es obvio. No se ha llevado ni el punto de la puesta en escena (ni vestuario) ni el de la canción. Había otros artistas que alomejor tampoco cumplían los tres puntos, pero si dos de ellos y eso a mi parecer es en lo que deberíamos centrarnos... si no, de que sirve este concurso? Ahora Melody querrá hacer cambios, la fecha límite está el caer y esto parece ya nuestros tiempos antiguos cuando no sabíamos nada de la puesta en escena de nuestros artistas y esperábamos un caos inminente.
Luego, no he entendido un jurado que vota a Daniela Blasco por encima de la voz y presencia de Mel Ömana, por ejemplo? Qué ha pasado? En qué universo estamos viendo esto? De la votación del público no se puede decir nada, al final es gusto personal. Pero un jurado tiene que tener criterio y eso es inentendible. Por el resto creo que estuvieron bastante acertados.

 | I lack common sense so I can’t understand how to remove the battery on my Shimano Dew-E DL bike. First you need a VERY SPECIFIC sized allen key to pop the battery out. Then you need to press the little silver thing shown in the second picture to pop it out further. But how to remove it? I cannot figure out because I’m stupid. I thought MAYBE you need to remove the two nuts in the 3rd picture but no, those are attached to the battery. I thought MAYBE there’s another part of the silver thing you have to press but nope. I tried wiggling the thing violently to remove it but nope. Anyone with common sense can answer how to remove this battery? submitted by Typical-Storage-4019 to ebikes [link] [comments] |
