I once washed dishes at a pizza restaurant that had a garbage disposal that broke down frequently. I had to reach my arm down into this “stew” of floating muck and food fragments to manually turn the rotor so it wouldn’t get overflown. It was disgusting.

They teach them that in radio school. The talk over the intro right up to the first word. It’s called “hitting the post”.

That sounds about right for the position lol. Dishwashers have to do the stuff that nobody else wants to do even stuff not related to washing dishes. But to be honest I like those kind of jobs because I get left alone for the most part and I don’t have to interact with the general public. I can wear my headphones and go out back to take breaks or pray if I’m going through it or struggling so there’s definitely advantages to the disgusting sides of the dishwashing job.

After I made that statement I actually had the thought that I haven’t read any Harry Potter books in a really long time. I might listen to the first one while I’m working tomorrow. But I’ve never listen to audiobooks when I work I’m not sure if I’ll be able to really listen but I’m going to try.
But yes humor is everything. I laugh every day. I don’t think I was laughing every day in my addiction

Laughing was not in my daily drunk routine ever. I had to relearn how.

It really is about relearning and retraining our brain. Learning how to live life without alcohol or substances. It really is a blessing when you finally realize you don’t need that stuff for any reason at all.

I’ve dealt with alot of issues caused by cheap brands (dog and cat), so now I buy what the vet recommended. Even well known, average priced brands are full of byproduct fillers. I could get away with that if Krieger wasn’t such a sensitive little boy 
Grateful they all hate wet food 
Geez, I thought our gas prices were bad! Altho, you have a much more diverse public transit over there. Only one bus comes thru my city, and not even on the weekends! Otherwise, there’s Uber 
And I know it’s not just pet food, but the price difference on this one just blew me away

I get fresh meat from a company that delivers raw meats and innards and bones for cat and dog consumption, it’s very high quality, I could eat it tho I don’t, I’m sure it’s not quite as tasty as what they sell in the human grocery stores. Anyway I mix that w vegetables and some extra vitamin/mineral powder for my 
s food. No sensitivities, no additives, and it’s a lot cheaper than wet food also. I don’t trust the companies either, the rare occasions my dogs had to eat any canned food cos we ran out on holiday or so, it was always a disaster digestion wise! How could this be if they don’t fuck w the food? Anyway maybe you have sth similar to my meat guy over there.

Why did you move back in (if you want to share)?
6 Likes
Because I had a moldy apartment (where I moved in 2 months before it came up (looking perfectly fine superficial).
Canceled the contract because the landlord did not give a fuck. And said it was my fault). Did not know about my future carrier at that point. And my dad died around that time. She was alone here. I own half the house. That is a short summary.
I did not want to make a quick choice about my job and about a new apartment and so moved here. Should have been temporary. Now, I feel responsible for her not being alone. And it is a financial relief, for sure. I could rent again. But overall i feel mega lost. I don’t feel home here. I don’t know where to go. And my progress of healing is backwards!

YES! I’m single for so long because I’m not able to find a mentally healthy partner bc my brain STILL misses the chaos. And if there is a mentally healthy partner I create the chaos bc my brain loves it. So it’s better to stay single.
Therapy would be awesome yes, but the magic word for that im my country is Warteliste (waiting list)

Man that’s rough. I feel for you. My own recovery journey has been a lot about realising and learning through therapy that I feel overly responsible for my family members whom I love a lot. And who also since I’ve been a baby have been both stifling and starving, pushing me away but not letting me go, telling me I don’t belong and telling me I don’t belong anywhere else but w them, totally hot and cold.
Without a bit of distance, physically and emotionally, I would not have been able to grow out of my shit, I can imagine how you feel.
I guess part of the question is, is the financial relief worth the time it’ll take you to make up for lost recovery during this period.
In any case it’s a tough tough situation and not an easy journey. You got my sympathy.

Took me a year before I met my therapist. She was worth the wait, she was everything I wanted and needed.
If you go through psychotherapeutische Ausbildungsinstitute, it’ll go a lot faster. Initial wait is longer, then after that they help you find someone.

Brakes on my bike finally 100% giving out when I’m 13 miles away from home and it’s raining can FRO. I guess they were sort of acting up the last few months and I didn’t pay attention till I was trying to stop at an intersection and could not use my break at all on the right side! Didn’t know whether to jump off my bike or just take the impact of the upcoming wall and curb but I was able to slow down in time but still hit the curb pretty hard and it’s sucked and now I’m just Biking really slow or walking the rest of the way home. This situation can FRO!! I don’t have a debit card because I save money not swiping all day and I didn’t carry cash on me today so I can’t take the bus. And none of my friends have a truck so I’m definitely not locking this bike up and coming back for it.. just gonna make my way home slowly. I guess there is worse situation’s to be in.
