I agree with this— while there’s a massive and toxic group think culture in AA, the individual’s positive experiences are often largely defined by the amount of support you get within the program. Since a lot of that comes from having a sponsor who you click with, that kind of success is a really hit or (more often…

And this, right here, is why I’m allergic to AA.

Yep, lots of people who are questioning themselves go to meetings. Even if you don’t go in on the whole 12 step program mentality, a group of people sharing their feelings and stories and frustrations and whatnot can be a lot more helpful than keeping it all wrapped up within you. Even if you don’t share, just knowing…

Speak to your doctor or treatment provider about naltrexene, or the Sinclair method in general.

Yes, to all of this. Both clinically, and personally, I find it extremely stupid to say that one is forever in recovery. It’s like saying “I’m forever in recovery from such and such a disease, even though I don’t have that disease in my body anymore.”

Major Lazer is right, it’s not about blame. It’s about acknowledging that you don’t stay in control of yourself— you are not in control of yourself— when you’re in the middle of the drink. Different people react to different medications differently. Medications are drugs. Different people react to different drugs…

What the friggity frak is that? That artwork is beautiful! (and modified from an old Action Comics cover featuring Superdickery?) Who drew it?? I MUST KNOW.

I use PCSX2 to play my copy of FF XII, since errr I have no PS2 to play it on, either!

Or, ya know, he’s the househusband and his job is taking care of the house and the kids, which is work that never, ever ends. Ever. Because you don’t ever “leave work” at the end of the work day, when you’re a homemaker.

Never.

Which part of the father’s reaction is surprising or shocking?

Well, it is kind of a huge difference, having a dick nestled in your esophagus versus just not having access to air. I find it easier to breathe when not deepthroating a dick, as well, honestly. God made up-strokes for a reason!

When the cunnilingus receiver has her legs wrapped around your head because you love your job and are good at it, but don’t want to stop just so that you can breathe and not die (and thereby ruin the moment while you take in that sweet, sweet oxygen), I have a feeling this glow-in-the-dark Cheerios commercial will be…

but what about when she’s got her legs wrapped around your head like a clamp?

I think there’s a huge difference between “I’m sorry you were offended” and “I’m sorry for offending/hurting you”. Titanic divide between the two. One is a smarmy nonapology, and the other is an apology for causing personal hurt without necessarily apologizing for doing the thing you came to do. Non-shitheels the…

Wait, how old are you? You’re awfully quick to jump on these kids (and yes, they are all kids) and very slow to acknowledge that not all kids have mores or norms in line with yours. You’re “erring on the side of caution” by advocating grossly inappropriate punishments because these kids all performed consensual sexual…

Well said.
