You’re on the right side! Costco makes a mean Pecan Pie, heated up with ice cream on the side!

Lol. I dont know, at least he’s a regular. Maybe you and @Neighbrofthebeast668 have a mean flagging streak. That’s why you guys arent in the lounge anymore.

Nah mine is definitely a lack of participation, the only threads I ever look at anymore are this one, the meme thread, and your mind blowing facts thread. I dont think I’ve had but like 4 flags in the year and a half I’ve been here.

Me too. I must not be liking enough or something. I still read a decent bit and reply, but my likes aren’t as much as before lol

Naw. You lean too far one way, and if I just liked everything willy nilly I’ll be leaning the other way.
I’m cool with only being a member, I don’t need regular status.
The amount of besmirching they did about my friend Tomi, hurt my heart.

If you want your life to change you better be willing to change things in your life. Also, putting down the drink is not change. It’s the result of change. Sorry, but you are going to have to do more than that.

Is unprescribed marijuana actually sober?

- Yes

AA actually has no position on outside issues. I’m curious what this forum thinks. So far no one really seems to care enough to vote.

I don’t have any appetite to judge others’ sobriety, so I’m abstaining from voting. But I do know the last time I had THC (about a year ago) it made me wicked paranoid, so it’s not for me.

For me, it isnt about “caring enough” I guess the more involved I get with AA, the less I need to carry someone else’s inventory, mine is a handful enough. All I can do is tell my story, if it opens a dialogue and an impact is made, then good. If not, it is in God’s hands.

It’s not that I don’t care enough to vote…I just think it is way to complicated a question that can be answered with a simple yes/no choice.
For ME cannibis would not be sober…I don’t even think nicotine would be sober…simply because I would be using either as a replacement for alcohol. But I don’t know if that is the final answer to the question.

Just remember. Alice Cooper has nearly 40 years of sobriety.

The longer I stay sober, the drunker I used to be. When I first started getting sober I didn’t quite realize how bad my drinking really was. Now I look back and am amazed at the horrors of my drinking. That’s why I work the first step every day. To remember how bad it was. I can’t recall a person getting sober because things were going to well.
I see a lot of people come in and say they weren’t/aren’t that bad. This is for you. I challenge you to stay sober for 12 months and then come back and tell me your perception of your drinking didn’t change.

Been having these thoughts recently. I keep getting flashbacks and thinking " I wasn’t that bad was I?" " Did that really happen"
Also had another drinking dream the other day.
I can’t actually remember drinking, but I was asked to drive some kids somewhere and I knew I had been drinking. Can’t remember much else apart from how I woke up with so many feelings about it and what I have done in the past regarding drinking and driving.

I very much agree with this post Dereck. It’s hard to believe anyone would knowingly find an app called Sober Time, then navigate to the section called Talking Sober and then read through threads and post, if they didn’t suspect they had a problem with drinking. Yet, we see it all the time. I was in denial for 30 years until I came here. And then I wasn’t anymore, and it was such a relief. On my day one post, James @ifs congratulated me on “escaping denial.” I wept. And I was free.
