Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Thanks I did not knew about that. I prefer not to take any medicine (and this one is expensive for 28 pills in my country).
I use the "Annie Grace Method" which already worked on me. It's basically convincing your subconscious that alcohol (or whatever you want) sucks and you don't need it. Once your brain knows that, you don't think about it and don't crave for a drink.
I did it for 6 months then use a shit excuse to get wasted "just that time" with my ex. We celebrated our divorce together by getting shit faced one last time.
It was in January this year and since then I basically made no effort and all the girls I hooked up with since were hard drinker as well...
That's why I'm starting again, I know the "how to", I just need to not be lazy and work my ass off for that objective. Plus this time I have tons of really good natural sugar free ice tea and I want to trick my brain into doing sport everytime it starts to think about a drink. I'll end up being an addict at my local boxing club, but that is a good addiction.
Kombucha sometimes scratches the same itch also
The issue I have with non-Sinclair is the actual biochemical aspect is never addressed which I would argue is at least as important as all the psychological/psychodynamic aspects. If Grace's liminal method works for you, thats awesome. Keep that up but just remember there's options :)
