Emob78: Please repeat this in your head over and over again. Works wonders... especially if you're weak willed enough to need therapy groups and catchy slogans.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference."

tinyE: Yeah. :D
tinyE: Are you seriously comparing me to Tauto and richlind?

tinyE: Fair enough, and I do absolutely do need to get out of here, but where?

zeogold: Y'know, as much as I disliked tinyE's constant mudslinging at Trump and his supporters, this is turning into a half-political, half-tinyE-bashing thread.
Can't we just accept that he's willing to give it a rest, forgive, and move on now? Talk about something, ANYTHING else? Oatmeal, maybe?

tinyE: I'm an atheist.

tinyE: I'm an atheist. That's why I couldn't join AA. Now I did quit drinking, so there are other ways.

omega64: Wait, isn't the AA just some self help group for alcaholics?

zeogold: It is, but it's done from a very Christian perspective. They tend to look at spiritual development as a solution.

omega64: Weird.

tinyE: Fair enough, and I do absolutely do need to get out of here, but where?

I don't have a life and given where I live and with the current political situation I sure as hell don't want to go out and spend time with any of the locals. Or my mother. Or my father.

Emob78: I'm not comparing you to anyone. I'm suggesting that your stress levels have increased to unhealthy highs, and it would probably benefit your long term health and state of mind if you took a short vacation. You're literally unraveling before our very eyes on this forum. Don't get me wrong, to me it's entertaining as shit. I love a good train wreck. But as a friend and fellow traveler, I have to try and discourage you from your current path.
