Can you have alcohol with cefaclor

But it's ok. I quit cold turkey last Thursday, so it's been 4 whole days without it. My quitting partner is my husband and on Sunday he asked me if I actually quit cold turkey. I told him that yes of course I did, thinking he also did because the vape was nowhere in sight. He then told me he has still been using it but was hiding and being sneaky about it. I went from being happy and not craving it at all to suddenly having cravings again, just knowing that he was still smoking. But he still kept it hidden away and I was fine. Until today he put it in the spot that we always keep it (in our bathroom cabinet) and I saw it and started again. He's at work but I texted him and told him and asked for him to keep it away again. I'm proud that I was able to go cold turkey on Thursday and I'm confident I can again. I'm human and it's ok that I slipped up and I forgive myself. I quit daily drinking and binge drinking at the start of lent and all my cravings for alcohol have gone away (which I never thought would happen for me). If I could do that after drinking for 8 years, then I can quit vaping (which I have also been doing on and off for 8 years, with my longest stretch without it being several years!) Thank you for a great and supportive community.

Yesterday was my 38th birthday, I have always said I was gonna take a break but haven’t taking a break more than 4 days in the last 18 years. And that was usually because i was on Antibiotics.
I’m still in good health and have everything and everyone I need, I just need to stop drinking so much. It’s been about a 6pack+ for almost two decades. 100s of blackouts, lots of calories consumed and lots of money spent. I want to be healthier and spend money of family things instead.
I’m a 8x’s a day stoner but I have stopped smoking weed before and that one I can do just by deciding to stop, but with booze for some reason I haven’t been able to.
This weekend I actually told my family I was going to stop, so hopefully with their accountability I will be successful this time.
Any tips for fighting those urges at night, watching a game would be appreciated. I have done Non-alcoholic beers and those aren’t bad so they might be what I have to do.
Also got lots of family parties coming up and hope I can resist there too even though drinking has been one of the things I looked forward to when going to parties. Just have to change the mentality and resist the temptation.
Glad I found this community and will be checking in regularly. Thanks everyone for you stories and inspiration. My new adult life begins today.

Trigger warning: mention of sexual assault
This is my first ever post to Reddit and I get most of my Reddit fix from YouTube so please be patient with me if I don’t understand all the lingo or rules, thank you.
Here’s some context: I am a transgender male. Boyfriend, who we will call H, is a cisgender male. We’ve been together just over 1 year and 2 months. We were roommates before we started dating, and friends with benefits long before I moved in, though we did fall off for about a year before I moved in too. H has only ever known me as trans, I have been out for about 3/4 years now.
Last night I went to bed mad and I didn’t want to. I was triggered shortly after dinner time when H lifted up my shirt on my backside in the shared living room we have with our roommate and his gf, almost exposing my chest which I do not bind while home. He then starts to try massaging my back until his hands starts inching closer to the front of me. I did not ask him to do this. I felt an immediate panic and told him to stop but it didn’t feel like enough to actually stop him so I said very yelling like: “the reason we never have sex is because you can’t help but cross my boundaries and I barely even want you to touch me anymore.”
I can understand how this felt really harsh on him as he quickly became quiet, wouldn’t look at me, and then left to his room. We do have separate rooms as we were roommates before, I now use my room as an office for my remote customer service job and his room as an actual bedroom.
I knew that if we talked immediately that I would probably lash out again, getting mad and yelling and he would shut down but maybe even get mad himself. But we know better that at least I need some time to cool off if we’re going to have a productive conversation as I do have big feelings very often that overwhelm me and I have anger issues as well. We’ve never had a big fight where both of us are trying to get a point across. I feel like I did before in my last big relationship where I’m the only one with all the big feelings and no one wants to listen to them. The point isn’t that I want a big fight, it’s that I know eventually I need to let it out but more calmly.
So when H came out of his room after I went to partake in the devils garden on the balcony, I was expecting to sit down and talk it out. Instead he asked me to make a copy of his license for work cause I have a scanneprinter, we hugged, apologized to each other but didn’t explain why we’re were apologizing, I went to make the copies and we went on like it was a normal night. I waited for a more appropriate moment to bring it up and every time I think it’s time to speak up, H has a favor to ask, he wants me to look at the TikTok’s and Reels he sent me, and then we’re going to bed. At that point, I am fully in my head about this interaction and relationship and I haven’t said a word to him since last night except he texted me this morning complaining about his new job.
I want to give a little context why I am scared to say anything further about being triggered and lashing out. About three months ago, H was very drunk (he is an alcoholic) and after I rambled on about something, H stopped me and said something to the effect of “No one’s listening to you.” He has apologized profusely about this but I have always had the impression that if you want someone to tell the truth, talk to a toddler or a drunk. I haven’t been able to get him saying that out of my head. I’ve been told some messed up stuff about me by others but this one…hurts. So when he doesn’t start a conversation, I don’t want to talk. He doesn’t like listening to me talk. He’s blamed his ADHD and said “I never know when you’re gonna stop and my brain won’t focus” but part of me knows that’s a crock of sh*t.
Maybe while writing this post I’m realizing that it’s not worth it, but I’d like to explain that his insistent “Stims” on me (smacking, tickling, scratching, finger tracing, scratching my head and pulling my hair, pimple popping on my back, etc) are what’s crossing my boundaries. I have had a rough time with touch ever since I was 14 and was sexually assaulted. The last time I was triggered like this, my bf of the time tried to hold me from behind but his hand placement freaked me out and I had an anxiety attack; sweating, crying and dry heaving type of anxiety attack. While H never initiated without asking for consent, I’ve always wondered why consent and “keep your hands to yourself” is only important for him when he’s using his genitals.
I have repeatedly tried to explain to H that I am uncomfortable with most touch, and his stims still happen. I’ve tried to be mindful that maybe he actually can’t control it, that his extreme OCD is making him (he was diagnosed as a kid, the beginning of the relationship I had to drive with him everywhere because he kept thinking he hit people while on the road, a great example of pure O) so I tried displacement where he stims on himself, asked him to stop repeatedly and making him work through what he can do instead of stimming on me, I have tried to gentle parent his issue and nothing works. I am beginning to resent him and I don’t want to resort to violence just because he’s backed me into a corner with this issue.
I know however that when we have heart to hearts about these types of issues, he listens and tries better (he stopped smacking my thigh and went to my butt, the frequency of stims have slowed down) but after a year, I feel worn down and don’t know how to get him to talk to me now as I know if I start the conversation he will either deflect or dismiss. What should I do?
TLDR: boyfriend has trouble keeping his hands to himself, triggered my SA issues, we never talked about it, I don’t think he cares to listen. What should I do?

I see the question come around occasionally with people asking how to keep their lite ice cream soft if they have leftovers, so I wanted to share some of the things I have noticed keeps my lite ice cream soft.
Incorporate more air into it. I find that running my protein ice creams on lite ice cream once, scraping the edge of the jar with a knife, hit re-spin, them popping it back in the freezer to firm up with all that extra mixed in air is enough to keep the ice cream soft for weeks.
Add sugar or corn syrup. You do not need too much I find that just a tablespoon with the scrape and re-spin trick is enough.
Add alcohol. I sort of realized this one by accident when I started adding alcohol to some of my recipes. Like, sugars you don't need a lot 1 tbsp of a liqueur is enough for a noticeable difference.
You can do one of these things or all 3 and I don't think that would break the calorie bank for most people. The main idea is to try and add things that keep large ice crystals from forming.

Hi everyone, Im a 1,73 cm around 80kg, 31 year old male with around 30% bodyfat. I started around 3 years ago with around 90 kg. All weights are roughly since I mostly go by waist size, not so much weight. You probably can already tell that it wasnt straight forward for me since 10 kg in 3 years is not alot. This was mostly due to me overdoing it with running, injuring myself in the process and then jojo-ing back a bit.
Since around 4 months I switched to zone 2 cardio mostly. Still running but with more training over time and lower intensity I now feel on the right track here. I ran in the last 4 months on at least 20 days per month, always around 5 km and always around 300 kcal according to my treadmill, most of it in zone 2. I also work in additional weight training every now and then, just so my muscles don vanish completly. I dont count calorie burns on that, but just know that this shouldnt be a major area of concern either.
My diet (pretty much unchanged since day one) is strict and open at the same time. I dont have breakfast and eat a protein porridge for lunch (100gram oats, 50 gram casein protein powder, 10 gram nuts + 50-100ml almond milk + water) which is in sum pretty much excactly 500 kcal. Im pretty strict about that. Then an apple or banana in the afternoon around 100 kcal and then my most open and last meal of the day, dinner. Always homecooked, with often a salad or at least plenty of vegetables. There wouldn't be any fast food or anything else of the usual suspects. While I dont track calories here, I would be suprised if it surpassed 1000 kcal (my estimated allowance for this meal) regularly.
There are days where I dont follow my diet, but thats mostly birthdays and such so, maybe 1-2 days a month where I once again would be suprised if I surpassed (as an absolut maximum 3000 kcal a day, 2500 probably being a more realistic upper sealing. We are talking going out for dinner or having a cake, not an all you can eat buffet.)
I dont drink much alcohol anymore, we are talking somewhere in the 1-2 times a month 3-4 glasses of wine. While still to much, it also shouldnt be a major calorie contributor.
Other then that I`m unfortunately not very active, programing as a job and gaming as a hobby doesnt mix well.
Using Online calculators I should be around 2000 kcal burn (NEAT) per day + 300 from Sport on most days. While eating around 1600 kcal per day. So a good day would give me a deficit of 700 kcal (round about).
On my worst days I should gain around 500 kcal. Even going by the 10 bad days in a month, 20 good days estimate. This would give me an overall burn of (...calculating...) 5000-14000 = -9000 kcal per month. So around 300 kcal on an average day. With this calculation being pretty pessimistic I would say.
Even if we round down again and say its only a 7000 kcal deficit per month... I should loose a kg per month, which would still be a rather slow diet (while feeling quite strict if Im honest). And this being an absolute low estimate.
My simple problem is: I havent lost that much, not by a long shot, we are talking 1-2 kg in the last 4 months.
HOW? what am I missing? It feels like I got everything under control. Im fairly "experienced" with diets and even loosing weight. I know what it feels like and generally how to do it. Im honest with myself and never complained online before, since always saw my own shortcomings eventually (poor diet, to little NEAT, overtraining etc. all being problems before, that I solved for me). But this time Im drawing a complet blank, I feel like I should be loosing weight, faster or honestly most of the time at all with what Im doing. Do you guys have any ideas or pointers, Im really out of my wits this time?

I can't afford one to actually hire. But I'm wondering if I should get a consultation.
Let me preface this by saying I'm ashamed of myself. I fucked up. I'm human garbage. I don't think I'll ever make this mistake again but idk wtf is wrong with me.
I had a work event. We went bowling. I drank a good amount, smoked a good amount of weed.
Started to drive home. I forgot to turn my stupid headlights on. I got pulled over. Cop told me I wasn't driving too poorly but I apparently did cut her off a little bit.
She smelled weed in my car and we did a field sobriety test. Probably should've refused but it is what it is.
I think I pretty much convinced them I just smoked weed. They brought me to the station, made me take a urine sample. Then they gave me my phone, and my license back and let me be picked up from the station without going to jail.
They said I can pretty much drive until either the test comes back, or my court date, whichever comes first but I'm pretty much definitely going to get my license suspended for 90 days or up to a year.
When that urine sample comes back I know it's going to test high for alcohol content. But I also know that urine tests aren't super admissable in court for alcohol since they aren't very active. My understanding is if you have a quick bladder and you had like one beer, it could come up ludicrously high even after account for the difference between more accurate tests.
I just think maybe I should schedule a consultation and ask for some advice for my court date on June 5th. I'd imagine I'll just plea no contest and be polite and hope for the best. That's probably my best bet.
I'm just worried about getting to work. I was already on the verge of possible becoming homeless. So idk.
This all took place in a suburb of Columbus Ohio. Westerville. I posted this in legal advice but it's just getting downvoted

I know the recommended advice for MAOI induced insomnia is to use Seroquel, Mirtazapine, or doxepin because they are strong antihistamines.
Please skip to the end if you don’t care about the background info.
Unfortunately, I’ve been on Seroquel for 3+ years and having a tolerance means that I’m lucky to get 6 hours of broken sleep out of a 75 to 100 mg dose.
If I don’t take Seroquel, there is no amount of Xanax, weed or alcohol that will put me in a coma. I’ve been sober a while but I tried to rapidly cut down my Seroquel usage with Xanax last summer and I still couldn’t sleep at all.
High doses of Seroquel give me erectile dysfunction and take away my libido entirely. It also turns my nipples puffy and slows down my metabolism so I gain weight fast.
That’s why I tapered down from 150 to 75 mg at night, and I’ve been taking 75 mg/night for over a year so I’m pretty sure I’m stabilized at this dose.
Luckily, my libido has come back full-force and I can sustain erections. My hormones are also rebalanced as proven by blood work.
No bullshit, I honestly thought I was gay.
It sounds funny but it’s really sad because I missed out on having sex during my teen years.
Without Seroquel, I will be awake all night for days on end, which is great if I want to experience psychosis. So, I have to add something to my nightly Seroquel rather than replacing it outright.
I used to get 10 hours of good sleep but I don’t want to use more of the drug and fuck up my prolactin levels again.
TL DR:
Is it worth resorting to Z-drugs like zopiclone, or am I just going to build a tolerance and find myself unable to sleep in a year? I’ve also considered Valium but I would like to keep my sobriety intact.
I really don’t want to add anything else to the concoction of pharmaceuticals I take on a daily basis, but I cannot survive on this little sleep for sustained periods of time.
It’s been a week and my body still hasn’t started playing catch-up so I feel like shit generally. I should also mention that I’ve been taking Gabapentin for 3+ years and I dropped from 1200 to 900 mg/day last year because of daytime somnolence and ED issues.
I can load up on Gabapentin at night but I tried taking 900 mg staggered the other day and it still did nothing for my sleep. I fear that I will have to resort to controlled substances to fix insomnia and it scares me.

Wow, WOW. Life can ACTUALLY be good? What? There is no absolute way. I am 22, and have been no contact for just over 2 months now. I understood completely that my mother was a true narcissist at 17 when I delved deep into psychology and everything started unravelling - the abuse, the neglect, the gaslighting, the emotional TORTURE she put me through since the youngest age I can remember. I started “wanting to die” at the age of 10-11, after years of my mother’s insults, gaslighting, manipulating, bringing different men home every single week and having intercourse with them in the same room as me; the alcoholism, the cleaning up her vomit every weekend, the parties, and worst of all? She turned my entire, and I mean ENTIRE, family, all my relatives, against me. I realised a couple years ago as well that I have been the scapegoat in my family since the day I was born (literally, she even said giving birth to me was the day everyone’s life was ruined (every day for years and years she said this, even up until I went no contact). For the first time in my life, I actually… look forward to waking up in the morning? I actually ENJOY living? I never, ever ever ever thought I would say this. I actually never thought I would make it out alive. I do not speak to any of my family (I am a single child but my father was also extremely physically and emotionally abusive when my parents were still together). But you know what? Being alone, and feeling lonely sometimes, is infinitely better than anything I had to endure living with that monster. She tried to take my life from me, and still tries by contacting my relatives and telling them what a horrible monstrous daughter I am (because I ALWAYS, since childhood, refused to bow down to her). They all took her side - her lies were just that good. But this is to give people in the same situation as me hope - do NOT, please please please, do not give up. Ever. There were so many times, SO many times, I truly nearly ended it. But something deep within me told me to keep going because I knew that one day, my life would not be that bad. And I’m so glad I kept going, and I made it to the other side ❤️

I'm not sure if I chose the right flair but I apologize if I didn't.
But hey not a Utahn here. But I have some questions. How is the social media ID law working out for you guys? What has been your experiences? Have you guys had any luck with using a VPN to bypass those laws?
I'm worried they're gonna pass a similar law in my state (I don't want to say what state I'm in, for privacy reasons) and while I am an adult and I do have an ID, I'm not sure I'm comfortable providing my ID to a social media giant haha. Plus here's another thing, I'm a disabled/neurodivergent adult and I didn't have an ID until last year because my mom never took me to get one made because she's "over me" and she just thought I never needed one since I never leave the house without her and I don't buy alcohol, etc; and the only reason she took me to get one when she did was because I had an appointment at a hospital I never been to before and they wanted proof of identity. But I'm worried she's gonna be hard-headed and not get it renewed when the time comes which will exclude me from social media if social media ID laws are passed after my ID expires (which won't be anytime soon, by the way, but still).
So I have some questions, which I'm sure will be answered according to Utahn experience and may or may not necessarily reflect what will be the experience of people in my state.
But first of all, do these social media ID laws typically apply to only new accounts, or do they also apply to existing accounts as well?
And does using a VPN actually work? Will the social media site figure out you're using a VPN on their site and if so, will they ban your account for using one? In other words, is using a VPN for social media (such as Facebook and Instagram) allowed according to the sites' terms of service, or no?
I'm aware survey sites like Swagbucks and texting apps like TextNow can and will ban you for using a VPN. But what about social media sites?
And that's another thing, if I was to use a VPN for social media but not for the survey sites or texting apps, will the survey sites and texting apps still ban me for having the VPN on my device or would I just turn the VPN off before opening up those other apps? But I have a super bad memory and worried I would forget to turn the VPN off, though.
Anyway, I just wanna be prepared in case my state passes such laws. I'm also a writer and I post my writing (poetry, etc.) online which I do behind my mom's back of course but it gives me a sense of purpose because she shelters me and doesn't want me doing anything with my life. I don't want to lose the one thing that makes me feel like I'm making something out of myself. I had plans to do more with myself, in addition to my writing, like art and stories.
These laws are meant to protect kids but it's gonna hurt disabled/neurodivergent adults like me who are sheltered and treated like kids.

Hi all, currently going through the BI with the USSS. I’ve gotten BQA 2 years ago after my security interview and now that I passed my security,Poly, Medical and home interview so worried that I’ll get BQA after all of that. The BQA still haunts me till this day so I’m just so worried that they can and do BQA at this end of process. If anyone has experience or info about this please share and let me know.
My background is clean no drugs,no alcohol, some travel abroad, duel citizenship but I mentioned that I’ll renounce it, 9 foreign contacts but they don’t have any government jobs and most of them under the age of 21 because they’re my cousins. My reference and employers have been contacted already and all say good things expect for 1 job. Is this going to be a problem? I want to reach out to the investigator to explain the discrepancy because he didn’t mention anything about the job that gave me a bad review but when I reached out to my FO to check on the status they mentioned that if HQ has questions they will reach out. Is that too late to explain the discrepancy to my investigator or since he didn’t contact me he doesn’t think it’s a deal breaker? Thank you so much!!

The three friends stand in the backyard, wearing their goofy villain outfits, as Edd adjusts his costume with annoyance.
Edd (Cont'D) "This is ridiculous. I can't believe you two made me wear this."
Matt (Excitedly) "You look great! We're like the Three Stooges of crime!"
Tom (Grinning) "Yeah, but instead of just being fools, we're gonna be rich fools!”
Edd Matt did you cover our tracks?
Matt Yeah, look. (Shows an path of purple path leading right up to their location)
Tom Matt you know when I said I hated you?
Matt Yeah?
Tom I DIDN'T LIE!
Matt Aw...
Edd "Alright, let's just get this over with. We break into the safe, grab the cash, and get out. Simple enough."
Tom (Cocky) "Piece of cake, guys. We're professional criminals now."
Matt (Excitedly) "We're going to be rich!"
(The friends approach the safe and begin trying to open it.)
Edd Uh, does anyone remember the code?

Tom(drunk) Idk ask the unicorn in the sky!
Edd (Sigh) I'm going home.
As Edd turns to leave, Tom comes to his senses.
Tom "Guys, hang on. What if we try a brute force attack? Like, really give it a good ol' college try?"
Edd (Sarcastically) “Oh yes, because that's so much better than blowing up an orphanage.”
Tom (Ignoring the comment) “Just hear me out. We all know that safes have a maximum number of combination attempts before they lock us out. So, what if we just brute force it?”Edd But what brute force would... (Edd's eyes spark up with an idea, and a devious smile form's on his face)
Tom So... what's the idea?
Edd (Raises his eyebrows)
Tom I don't speak eyebrows?
Matt (Raises eyebrows)
Tom What!?
Edd (Overlapping Matt) THROW TOM!
Matt (Overlapping Edd) THROW TOM!
Tom Did I ever tell yall I HATE ALL OF YOU!As Matt and Edd start shoving Tom towards the safe, he starts resisting and shouting obscenities at them.
Tom (Yelling) "What the hell is wrong with you guys?! I'm not a goddamn battering ram!"
Matt (Laughing) "Oh come on, it'll be fine! What's the worst that could happen?"
Edd (Shoving Tom) "Just go with it, Tom. You'll thank us later."
Tom (Reluctantly) "Fine, but if I break anything, I'm suing you two.”(Edd and Matt lift Tom over their head and chuck him head first into the safe making a extremely loud smash)
Edd See Tom, that wasn't so bad!
Tom I think broke one of my hair bones
Matt Is it open?

(The police pull up and get out of the cop car with gun)
Cop 1 PUT YOUR HANDS UP!
(The entire gang puts their hands up with a ton of Matt's pictures falling out of his clothes)
(The police officers look confused as they witness the sight in front of them.*)
Officer 1 (Perplexed) “What the hell happened here?”
Matt (Innocently) “We were just trying to break into a safe. No big deal.” Act 1 Scene 4 Int. Cop Car - Midnight
Tom (Drowsy) “Why do my eyelids feel like heavy rocks…?”
Matt (Looking confused) “Hey, does anyone else smell pickles?”
Edd (Snickering) I knew I shouldn't have put on pickle deodorant!
Cop 1 (Driving) “Quiet, back there!”
Edd (Mumbling) Sorry Angry Mcgee!
Matt (Whisper) Pss, Edd!
Edd What?
Matt Get this! (Quickly throws a picture to Edd with his mouth)
Edd What is- Holy S**t I thought I lost this forever!
Camera pans down to show Edd, Matt, and Tom when they first moved in, including a old friend named Tord)*As the camera pans down to the picture, we see a glimpse of a time long ago. Three friends – Edd, Matt, and Tom – are laughing and smiling, with a fourth boy, Tord, standing beside them. They're holding balloons and standing in front of a house they recently moved into. Act 1 Scene 5
(Transition to) Jail - Cell - Midnight
Edd TOM! I'M DYING HELP ME!
Edd is dramatically lying on his back, holding an empty Cola can, pretending to have a heart attack. Meanwhile, Tom is sitting on a bunk bed and rolls his eyes.
Tom (Sarcastically) “Oh, yes, because your Cola addiction is definitely the biggest concern here. Not us being thrown in jail overnight.”
Edd OH WOE IS ME!
Edd writhes around on the bed in despair, while Tom just sits there, clearly agitated by Edd's melodrama.
Tom "Edd, you've been going on about your cola running out for hours now. Can you give it a rest, please?"
Edd (Frantically) "You don't understand, Tom! My cola was my life! How am I supposed to survive here without it?"
Tom (Tired) "Perhaps you should try sleeping or something?”Matt Uh, guys why is there a dude in helicopter trying to shoot us with a bazooka?
Edd (Sarcastically) Well thats just great.
(The group is flung back as the cell window is blasted open)
The man with the bazooka comes through the smoke.
Paul Hello, uh sorry I don't know your names. The Red Leader only refers people as code names.
Tom The Red who?
Matt My name is the beautiful Matt-
Edd covers Matt's mouth
Edd Don't tell him your name idiot!
Paul My name is Paul.
Camera Pans to Matt
Matt Why are your eyebrows 20 feet tall?
Camera Pans back to Paul
Paul They aren't even that big are you blind!?
Camera Pans back to Matt
Matt suddenly wearing blind glasses
Matt Yes
Patryk Hi my name is Patryk-
Paul PATRYK YOUR FLYING THE HELICOPTER!
Patryk Oh.
We hear a Helicopter explosion from outside. Paul and Patryk look down from the exposed cell wall, showing the burning half-destroyed Helicopter.
Patryk Don't worry I'll fix those scratches!
Paul Whatever.
Edd So, are you here to save us?
Paul Nah, we're gonna capture you!
Edd Aw, Bugger
Paul pulls out a "Super cool taser gun" as the label on the taser gun says.
Tom Lame.
(Tom is shocked and knocked out by the taser gun)
(The group watches in shock as Tom goes down from the taser-gun.)
Matt (Panicking) "Oh no, Tom! Edd, do something!!"
Edd (In shock) "What can I do? There's two nut jobs with a taser gun and an assault rifle who are trying to capture us!"
Paul (Casually) "Don't worry, if you don't resist, you'll be safe. The Red Leader just wants you guys for a special project.”
Edd Whatever.
Edd blacks out
(Cut to) Helicopter - Backseat - Morning
Edd wakes up
Edd (Distraught) Ow my head hurts!
Tom (Confused) What happened?
Edd (Deep Voice) Hey Babe.
Tom (Angry) Wtf Edd!
Matt is making muffled sounds because of a mask on his face that says "Beware ugly fish monster behind mask." Edd takes the mask off of Matt.
Edd (Disturbed) EW, the mask was right!
Matt (Angry) Hey!
Paul So you finally woke up!
Matt Uh, yeah
Edd This reminds me of when I flew a Helicopter when I was in the Uk Army!
Paul (Confused) You were in the army!?
Matt We all were can't you tell just by looking at us!
Camera pans to show all of the three boys looking exaggeratedly more stupid than usual.
Paul No.
The three friends look at each other in annoyance, feeling belittled by Paul's remark. Tom speaks up.
Tom (Sarcastically) "Oh wow, thanks for the compliment. Nice to know we look like a bunch of army rejects."
Matt (Defensively) "Excuse me, we are actually highly trained and intelligent individuals... in our own special way.”
Tom (Sarcastically) At least two of us are!
Tom and Edd high-five. Matt not realizing that they are inferring that he's the stupid one, keeps a smile on his face
Edd (Amused) Wait didn't your Helicopter crash like a few hours ago?
Patryk (Proudly) This is my 857th Helicopter!
Edd's Amused face goes to worried.
Edd (Unsettled) “Oh boy, this is going to be one bumpy ride…”
Edd At least we're away from the HELI-COP-TER
Everyone looks at Edd because of the horrible pun.
Tom So, where are we going?
Paul To the "SUPER EVIL EDGY VILLAINOUS BASE!"
The camera zooms out of the Helicopter to show that the place is actually called "SUPER EVIL EDGY VILLAINOUS BASE!"
Edd Well that's just silly.

I’m looking to cut back on alcohol a little and I have a well-stocked bar with all the usual staples and a decent selection of amari and cordials. Most lists of low-ABV cocktails contain spritzes, which I enjoy intermittently depending on the weather, or sherry, which is fine but the problem is that once you open the bottle, it doesn’t last too long (and that undercuts the desire to drink less).
Can anyone recommend some relatively simple cocktails involving amari/liqueurs/cordials/syrups/bitters/citrus?

My bf and I went through a hard patch. He has no one for family love and as a Hispanic family that I have, they love him like his own. He admit he’s a bit jealous of how my mom is sweet to me. His mom is a drug abuse and alcoholic. She told her two sons (my bf and his brother) that they were failed abortions when they were 8, The mother “Sania” was raised by her father who was in WW2 military and a stepmom who was always flying and both parents didn’t give her love but only money. Sania became a drugie and the husband stole 30K and left her because Sania was cheating on him with another drugie. At least that’s what I’ve been told. Both drugies didn’t care about the kids but instead they put them in a room and locked them with no food like animals. At Age 16 my bf escaped the house with his brother and came to their step grandma because she was all they had/knew. One day, his grandma who raised them since 16 died and Sania came, not to see the old lady dying but to steal some jewelry because she was known for being a drug abuse. She brought her pets (2 big dogs, 3 jellyfish, 2 birds and 1 fish) and car, her 2 kids because she became pregnant of the drugie age 25, and she brought her new Puerto Rico bf too, as if she was moving in. My bf wanted me to be with him through hard times but I had school and he didn’t, I had my job but he quit his. I was exhausted and I was there in the hospital when I could, and so were some of my fam members. My family didn’t have to see him, they did it out of heart. You must know I do not drive because of my mental illness. And I can’t take Ubers because I don’t trust them if I have a seizure. Anyway, The operated day I was at home didn’t wanted to see him because I was exhausted emotionally and who knew if all my emotions came out and I could have a seizure. He got mad and broke down and spoke to Sania that I wasn’t there. The next day, I came to the hospital and Sania in front of him, his brother, said quietly “fat cow” quietly that only I could hear. I’m 5’8 and I weight 149 so Im in a good shape. I said “sorry for not coming to the operation”. Then she said out loud “everything that your boyfriend said and what you’ve done is a disappointment, we will talk later”. I said “yes”. Acting as if she was my mom. My bf didn’t defend or said anything to her. He stayed quiet looking at his grandma in hospital bed. Don’t forget I apologized the same day of the operation for not seeing him through text. His mom spoke bad about me to him and telling him to dump me, until I dumped him. I couldn’t take hearing all his problems it was causing me anxiety. He apologized to me 3 months after his grandma death. And his mother left our city and I didn’t want him back until he brought me flowers, we hanged out and it felt normal. He joined an academy. So I accepted him back. It turned out he was going to another girl’s house behind my back with 2 more guys. I know I shouldn’t have checked his phone but he was being secretive. He stopped talking to her and I never knew if he cheated but he was “30 min from Orlando” at least that’s what the message said with hearts. And he met her parents. We’re together it’s been up and down. But we’re loving each other and going on dates. I’m still with him and he’s taking bout kids with me and we’re only 21/22🤨.

Hi all, currently going through the BI with the USSS. I’ve gotten BQA 2 years ago after my security interview and now that I passed my security,Poly, Medical and home interview so worried that I’ll get BQA after all of that. The BQA still haunts me till this day so I’m just so worried that they can and do BQA at this end of process. If anyone has experience or info about this please share and let me know.
My background is clean no drugs,no alcohol, some travel abroad, duel citizenship but I mentioned that I’ll renounce it, 9 foreign contacts but they don’t have any government jobs and most of them under the age of 21 because they’re my cousins. My reference and employers have been contacted already and all say good things expect for 1 job. Is this going to be a problem? I want to reach out to the investigator to explain the discrepancy because he didn’t mention anything about the job that gave me a bad review but when I reached out to my FO to check on the status they mentioned that if HQ has questions they will reach out. Is that too late to explain the discrepancy to my investigator or since he didn’t contact me he doesn’t think it’s a deal breaker? Thank you so much!!

I posted this in marriage and relationships_advice and a comment said to join this group as well. Hoping to get some insight from folks who have been or are in a similar situation.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
My husband and I have been together for 12 years. When we first got together I had just turned 22 and he was 26. We spent a lot of time going out and drinking.
We eventually got married and had 3 kids. I still drink occasionally. I'll have a beer or two at dinner, and maybe once or twice a year will actually get "drunk" on a night when we don't have our kids.
My husband on the other hand is what I would call a functional alcoholic. He drinks probably 5-6 beers a night at the minimum and on weekends starts earlier and drinks a lot more. He's a nice drunk, not abusive, but he can be loud. He doesn't drive drunk, he willingly lets me drive.
We've fought about it a lot in the past and he'll "cut back" for a while, but then tends to go right back to where he was.
He was in a high-stress job for 15-plus years that he hated and I thought this contributed to it. When I started making good money, I encouraged him to quit his job, spend more time with the kids, and find something he actually enjoyed doing. He didn't work for roughly a year and recently went back to work and really likes his job.
His job now is more flexible and lots of times he'll get off early and go eat, which obviously also entails a couple of beers.
We're at the point now, our kids are older and I worry they see and I don't want them to think it's normal. He got off early yesterday and stopped to eat, and had a few beers. When I got home from picking up the kids he was already drinking at the house. We then had to go to our son's sporting event (where they sell alcohol) and he continued to drink. At this point he was loud. Nice, friendly, but loud.
We ended up getting in a big fight last night about it where I called him trashy and gave him the ultimatum of our marriage or alcohol.
I regret being so harsh, but "asking nicely" for him to stop never works.
At what point do you walk away? I never wanted my kids to grow up with divorced parents but it's exhausting and at times embarrassing. I don't want my kids to be known as the ones who have the drunk dad at sporting events, but will they be mad at me if I leave their father?
Part of me feels like I don't understand because I don't have an addictive personality at all.

Hey everyone,
Long time lurker here. I am diagnosed with binge eating disorder and have been battling with it for years. I have started to realize (or accept) that my problem with binge eating may be related(or just enhanced) by my sort of addictive personality. The realization came a couple weeks ago when I went out to play pool with a few buddies, and drank 3 pitchers of beer without a thought. When I got home my partner pointed out that it sounded like a binge and it has been bothering me ever since. I realized that I go stretches of sometimes months of bingeing with certain things. Sometimes food, sometimes alcohol or smoking, sometimes both. I am constantly trying to break the binge cycle and when I do, I become addicted to working out. This obviously doesn’t last as I tend to over work myself and become mentally drained. I have been up and down in weight my whole life. I’ve been able to lose 130lbs, and put it right back on. I’ve tried medication/weight loss pills/therapy(starting back up again this week) and am really just feeling consumed with my lifestyle as most days are filled with episodes of bingeing or feeling like shit because I can’t binge. Has anyone else here dealt with similar addictive personalities? If so, would love to hear stories or advice. Sorry for the rant but look forward to hearing from you all!

I’ve posted here before but am back again- kind of treating my brain like a science experiment it seems. My issue isn’t daily drinking, but it’s not being able to stop once I do have a drink. I did the whole month of April and felt great. By the end I really tricked myself into thinking I re-wired my brain and could now moderate. Went to a cottage this weekend with family and was planning on not drinking- stocked up on many non alcoholic drinks so I’d have something fun to sip on. But sure enough, as soon as I arrived thought a glass of wine couldn’t hurt. I moderated the wine… but about 30 minutes later I was already sneaking off to take shots of vodka from the cupboard. Did the same thing all day Saturday. Nothing bad happened but woke up yesterday with crippling anxiety. The funny thing is, while I was going for the vodka everytime I thought “why am I doing this? Why can’t I control it? No one else is taking shots?” Anyways, slowly realizing moderating is not an option for me. My mental health is so low right now I KNOW the only reason I can continue is to stop completely. I deserve better- we all do. This sub has provided me with an insane amount of support and lets me get my true thoughts out. Thank you to everyone for listening and giving me a safe space. IWNDWYT.
