@bogie070@musclebooster_ At the risk of sounding snarky (not intended), these would be an interesting body weight exercises to learn from. I’ve never heard anyone say that prison food is particularly healthy, either, so it doesn’t rely on ideal food intake.
@JohnFeal1 Sending love and hugs- you cry every tear you need to, dear one. I’ve been thinking of you lately; I hope you know that many of us are standing with you in spirit, if not in person.
@LaughinOutLoudr@klara_sjo@OwenBenjamin Oh hail no- I’d be climbing up on her furniture to take it down. Or bring something to generate enough smoke or other particles to set it all the way off, then leave.
@BlackKnight10k It’s their choice. Not like there’s a surplus of blood out there- give it to people who need it and believe in medicine.
If they don’t reproduce, complete Darwinian win.
Robin Williams stayed sober for 20 years before a single thought in a remote Alaskan town triggered a relapse.
In this interview, he reflects on the full arc of his addiction: how cocaine became a form of self-medication, why he quit in the early 1980s, what led to his relapse after two decades of sobriety, and how asking for help became the turning point in his recovery.
He explained that cocaine did not make him more talkative, but did the opposite:
“I think I did it because it would actually allow me not to talk. It was like reverse medication… It just kind of shuts you down.”
The first major turning point came after the death of his friend John Belushi from an overdose and the realization that he was about to become a father.
“I remember stopping it on my own because I was about to have a son… You don’t want to be like that.”
For 20 years, he remained sober.
Then, while staying in a small town in Alaska, he had a sudden thought that changed everything.
“I thought I could drink… It’s the same thought you have if you look off a large building and go, ‘I can fly.’ And within a week it was gone.”
After relapsing, he came to a different conclusion:
“Now, I realize I can’t.”
Unlike the first time, his second recovery involved rehab and professional support. He said one of the hardest obstacles was the belief that he could control it on his own.
“The more intelligent you think you are, the harder it is to let go.”
The lesson he ultimately arrived at was surrender:
“You gotta just say, ‘I can’t do it.’ … ‘Nope, you lose, you can’t do it. You need help.’ And at that point, that’s the beginning.”
