Lol. It keeps getting better:

It’s been an HOUR. Neither Trump nor Pence’s homepages have been updated (Pence’s is still his “Pence for Governor” page which, God knows how THAT works since he’s officially submitted his withdrawal paperwork), Pence’s campaign twitter bio still hasn’t been updated, his “donate to Pence for Governor” tweets haven’t…

Like everything Trump, this is being managed in the worst possible way. Instead of a day of replaying sound bites from a big press conference, The TV news will have an entire day to just go do oppo research on Pence, replay old speeches (like the one where he got to the podium and just stood there for like a full…

This blue bird been talking behind my back? Well, time to sue the blue bird for 10 million dollars. Sad.

Trump just couldn’t resist the lure of spouting off on Twitter.

Somehow, what a politician said six month ago doesn’t seem to matter at all any more. At least when it comes to republicans and their opinions on Trump and his proposed policies.

All I know that is that it’s taken him out of the IN governor’s race and the lieutenant governor is new and not well-known. So it’s Dems time to shine around here. ;)

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a comment as much as yours.

Thank you, it truly does means a lot to me. That’s a good assignment. I know how hard it can be to keep those condemning thoughts out. We may be similar in that if 99 good things happen, we focus on the 1 bad thing that happens.

I know, right? I was ALWAYS monitoring everyone else’s consumption, mostly so I could gauge how openly I could drink the way I wanted to drink. We are the ones obsessed with alcohol. I didn’t realize until I got sober, that non-alcoholics DON’T do those things. I spent a lot of time picking my boyfriend’s brain (a…

It made me sad reading it, it was like looking in the mirror.

That’s the truth. I haven’t used meth or other drugs since 2005, and I still struggle during certain times of the year. I do drink (too much) but my excuse was that at least it’s not meth. And I know that that is a bullshit answer that somehow helps me make it through the day so I can pass out at night. Just typing…

An actual alcoholic cannot cut back over the long term. To the contrary, he or she will inevitably escalate.

good internet vibes in your specific direction, maggiecat.

I’ve had some experience with this (though, as it happens, most of my friends fall on the sober side of the spectrum), but all of my “AA sober” friends, as I call them (as opposed to people like me who go for periods of time without, but also drink in moderation sometimes) have an extensive circle of “former drinking…

anecdotal, but when I stopped drinking, the ONLY person to give me a hard time about it was a friend and former drinking buddy who also struggled with "managing" her drinking. So yeah, totally agree.

yeah i mean, look, i cant diagnose anyone but when i read comments like this i cant help but think about ‘more about alcoholism’ when bill describes the ways in which we tried to curb our drinking.

You can do this.

I had a habit as a young drunk woman where I would “take breaks” from drinking. They were normally a few days or a week, the longest was a month. No one ever questioned them, everyone around me understood the “I am taking a break to give me body a rest” reason. Some people also assumed I was taking a break because I…
