Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I chose the second option, and repeated whatever the time came up to need to. That one showed a problem and I got a colonoscopy where they remove five pre-cancerous polyps. 110 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It never sounded like fun to me either, the doctor offered a card that you send in after you smear a small sample of your poop on it, Gross. The second option is a kit comes in the mail with a small container that’s suspends in your toilet that you poop in and send it off to be tested.  110 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Maybe you just forgot to mention cake, but sobriety dates require some cake. I think it’s a law or something. 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yep, things aren’t always fair. For me my brain always says I know how to fix this, and that’s the old behavior. I hang around recovery guys, and the best thing to do is talk about shit when it comes up. 000 0
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The reason they don’t have a signage is we need to learn to ask for help 110 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I think we plan for that day when it seems like a good idea to drink again, whenever I give my phone number out to somebody in recovery I make sure that they understand that I’ve experienced crazy thoughts at super inconvenient times at night, call anyway.❤️ 000 0
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I found out alcoholism does not have a great retirement plan. As well as a few other drawbacks. 110 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I do love that after day 100, if we handle it right, we can get today 101. that’s no small task, I know. But about it one year there’s a chance that there’s some cake involved and I’ve done pretty weird things to get cake. 100 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It’s some weird times happening for sure. Being sober means I don’t have to match everyone’s highs and lows. I look around and find people deciding for themselves how to feel and what to do. Maybe we bring a sense of calm and measured response to the crazy. Thriving sounds nice, but I’ll take better 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The alcoholic dream, someday I can handle it. It’s different now and here’s why was what I said every relapse. so it’s a little more than 40 years since my last drink, I hang them around with recovery people mostly new but I still see the old timers. I’ve seen too many people die. I choose sober. 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Some folks can try drugs, but for some it a ticket for a roller coaster with no safety straps. Retirement plan sucks but hang on tight 100 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I had a thought once and then I moved the back of the garage out a little bit 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026No, I don’t think you’re taking it for granted, but sometimes we can enjoy at least part of a job more 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Too much of a good thing! Maybe just need to rotate different things to talk about or find a comfortable point to switch. I don’t know if that’s possible. 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026 Try to enjoy what you do for work, I’ll bet there’s somebody out there who wish they had your job 100 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026When you say special interest, are they things that you obsess a little too much on, i’m just a little confused, but I don’t mean to be harmful 111 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Personally, not a hater. But you have your reasons and I have mine 010 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Sober support I suppose, or show and tell. I brought my dogs to recovery center for years. 010 1
Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I was looking for sobriety before there was social media, but I think people who post here are looking for help, support, direction. I insisted that I could do it myself, hundreds of times! I couldn’t, but it took a long time to figure that out. My bottom line is, I don’t want people to die 011 1

Alcoholic named Mark @lawnmowerdude.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I always thought I could figure out how to quit, the only problem was that never worked. Hundreds of times tried but failed. I realized I’m not a good listener or taking direction. 000 0
