I definitely understand and wasn’t trying to make anyone feel wrong for flagging. I just didn’t even notice the glasses, for me I’d probably be more triggered by cans I never drank out of glasses. I wasn’t a fancy drinker I just wanted to get drunk so I didn’t care how it went down lol.

Gotta start somewhere! It took getting sober for me to finally get a long beard. I sucked at trimming it…so the first thing I spent money on when I got sober…professional beard trim…every month on the day I got sober…I got it trimmed…only have cut it back twice. Once when I met Ms. Monkey’s daughter…and once for an interview

The itchy can be dealt with by beard oil…if ya wanna do it on the cheap…google DIY beard oil. Keeping clean…well…wash and condition daily. When I go out to eat, I ensure I eat beard friendly food…no more bbq ribs from a restaurant…lol

Ah, sorry you felt this way about it. The thing is that I am so used to alcohol in our society, that it doesn’t cross my mind anymore that it could be a trigger for someone.
However, that’s me and I am lucky to be at such a good place and relationship with alcohol.
I did delete the 1st photo with the beers in front of us (which are not pretty on that pic anyway 
).
Hope the rest of the photos is OK 
My apologies again!

Ah, don’t worry my friend. It is no problem, I deleted the photo with beers in it & hope the rest is fine.
Last thing I want is to cause somebody to feel uncomfortable in this community
We’re here to help each other, so if people found it triggering, I get it and accept it.
Although I was super confused why it was flagged until I read the comment about the beers

Thank you! Not so much worrisome for me, but out of concern for others who are new in recovery. I think you made a good choice.

100% understand and agree. As I said above, last thing is to hurt someone or cause relapse or something else…
This community helped me a lot on my way to sobriety and I respect it and its rules

The omnipresence of beer was something I had to get used to on my recent trip to the Czech Republic. It’s literally everywhere and I was triggered a bit by it the first few days TBH. Thanks for your consideration Jana.

Yeah, it’s hard in Czech. I don’t recommend to anybody in early stage of sobriety to go to Czech rep. We’re a nation of drinkers. When I go back and see it, I am not wondering why I was an alcoholic… It’s so normal to get wasted almost every day in there. Especially when the town/village is small and there’s nothing else to do (my case).
But I love my country regardless. Just the mindset of its people is little bit weird…
You know, I am always grateful that I decided to leave and try life elsewhere. It gave me to see my life from different perspective and it gave me comparison of cultures. Which is very useful. One suddenly see that a different life is possible and that everything is just a question of choices and actions.
