Your real friends care about you, the fake ones care if you don’t drink. Don’t stress about it. I just backed out of my friends bachelor party

Anyone else a huge raging bitch that’s mad at everyone during early sobriety or is that just me?

ControlNet is the way to go.
M-LSD is exactly what I thought of when I read this posting initially, but I haven't had the time to delve deep enough into the controlnet docs from
Oddly enough, I found that site about a week ago when asking BingGPT for some documentation on ControlNet. That information seems to be pulled directly off of
Wow, thank you so much for this lengthy how-to! I’ve actually stumbled across some of those settings you’ve mentioned as I dove into the devs docs on ghub, some of which I’m utilizing presently and other I’ll test! I haven’t messed with building the wh file for xformers yet, admittedly yesterday I just updated my cuda to most recent version (I know I’ve seen mention about that being a no-no but it seems to be working on my system presently without xformers even called in args which seemed weird but I’m still learning. This is some really good info and links compiled into a great bundle, thank you again so much.
This is a fascinating wealth of info that's seemingly difficult to track down! Thank you for compiling this; I can't wait to sift through it and implement some new prompt testing.
FuckinA
I just smoked some from bong and have a jay behind my ear. I got 3oz weds from various vendors and already have maybe 2 to 3 oz of all kinds of shit.. I just broke thi s LB down by hand. It's sticky.. and yes this is late 90s-early2000 mexi brick weed but better.. I'm loving it. This is what fukn weed is supposed to be. No fancy pants bull shit. You can smoke a joint and a few people feel good. This has no seeds and isn't brick..This is wild. I'm so happy I rolled the dice to try. I'm impressed and happy.
I’m smoking some right now and it just tastes and smells like it’s early 2000s and I’m back in college passing blunts. Got a 1/2oz with a surprise seed and it brought back some wild vibes! Good good shit for sure!
We essentially got the same order and it was my first time trying Arete. 1/2oz smalls Death Star, 1/2oz bigs Laughing plus the mintz. Currently smoking some Death Star cut with laughing and it’s hitting me really nice. I did notice that my laughing Buddha has a broveda packet and is slightly sticky while the Death Star doesn’t have one and is a bit dry; I swapped the packet to see what difference a day or two makes.
I just picked up my very first thca haul from them during their Black Friday sale. Cake strain. It’s glorious and I didn’t find anything wrong with it. I was so pleased I was showing the web storefront to some old smoker friends at a Xmas party yesterday but didn’t understand why product place holders were present. Definitely wishing them and theirs the best during trying times.
I sleep a lot better. I have dreams again, that I sometimes remember all of. My relationships are better. I don’t explode into a fiery ball of bullshit anger over nothing. I get WAY more accomplished daily. Life is better on this side.
Same problem with mine. Blade paint already chipped near the tip as well. Just a typical pos beater knife.
That must have been a shitty weekend last year haha
Oh it most definitely was, and thanks man!
Happy soberversary!
What I admire the most about humans generally agreed to be "manly" is the self discipline and self control they tend to exhibit. Hemingway was a brave human, as proved by many things he did in his life, but I do not believe he was a healthy human with mastery over his own impulses and desires. He also clearly had a well developed work ethic; successful writers do, but I would reject an assertion that he was "disciplined". I do not wish to argue whether or not work ethic and discipline are the same thing. I think they are related, synergistic concepts, but for now I'm going to move on.
Thank you for your practical anecdote. It felt like I was reading my own thoughts of early sobriety.
For the first nine months or more of my sobriety I honestly had a hard time recognizing when I was being triggered or was irritable. I just knew I didn’t feel right and that it made me feel very loopy and confused to the point of being disorienting. I took the energy/pressure that was building up and let it out via working in the yard or around the house or walking or straight up closing myself up in my shop and letting out some long, primal screams. It gets better though. I’m starting to recognize my triggers and sense a bout of irritableness coming on and I’m getting much better at mentally shutting that shit down before I blow up. As to how I’m doing this, well I wish I had better advise than it took practice but that’s how I got to where I am at 340 days in. Hope this helps some.
Not to bash on your religion here, but fuck that church in particular and the so-called ‘Christians’ who gave you the boot for choosing not to have kids.
Awesome! Mad max vibes

My rekindled love for reading is one of my many favorite parts of sobriety! I had so many books I’d picked up over the years that I’m finally plowing through. I specifically wanted to get through Dune before the film releases and I made it!
Early in my sobriety I stressed over telling a college buddy who’s a fraternity alumni brother of mine about my decision. This stress was unfounded and stupid because said brother had seen me get two dwis in our 20s so needless to say he was very supportive.
I’m grateful for my wife (who’s also my sober partner and best friend) and for our furry horde; two dogs and three cats, one of whom is also a black cat!
I was. I wanted to put my fists through everything. I ran across this article in early sobriety and on days I feel my level head slipping I go back and reread it:
Thank you for sharing that article. Insightful, I'd never even thought about all the repressed thoughts coming to the surface and possibly being a source for my anger. It makes so much sense.
I hadn’t either before reading this. It’s made me realize I was a fairly angry person before I became an alcoholic (and more than possibly why I became one.)
Not much aside from having to learn a new typing method. Lost the intermediate and distal phalanges of my left ring finger.
Thank you for sharing. I’m dealing with a similar situation between myself and a friend of over 20 years. A friendship that started in grade school and morphed into drinking buddies. Said friend was directly involved in the events that finally led me to change my life and now I find myself realizing that we stopped having anything meaningful in common beyond the veil of boozy laughs and hazy memories that day over fifteen years ago that our friendship transitioned from nerdy high school kids to party animals who didn’t slow down. I can’t even put into words how the sting felt when I told this friend, this person I whole heartedly claimed as a brother, that I was no longer drinking and in response was told “well that’s no fun.” I guess in hindsight I’m not sure why I expected anything else. In the time since I’ve avoided further conversations and dodged phone calls because it’s made me realize that realistically we were both pretty shitty towards one another for a long time thanks to alcohol and that our paths had drifted far and wide and were only loosely held together with the false sense of security strings that alcohol laced friendships have.
I’m in. It’ll be my 10th/11th month!
Megustalations!
Yep, this was me, pulling the veil of booze and drugs down over myself to shield myself from life and “elevate” myself in the process. Now it’s just life in the raw and it feels pretty fucking glorious!
This is the way.
Push up on that man! I spent an extra decade after graduating at 23 wrecking weekend after weekend. Now my weekends are filled with endless, sober possibilities and it’s fucking glorious.
Thank you! Glad you’re here now!
Same! This sub helps immensely. I’m finally (actually) living my best life and not one that is masked by what society has deemed as being best. In my earliest days of sobriety I had to fight the inner battles of FOMO and deciding which “friendships” were only alcohol fueled and needed to go. Getting through that period was totally worth it.
Topo Chico Lime was my jam for the first month.
