Down voting corny introspective bullshit like this, and the answering the question with something borderline rude.
Did you miss the word "is" or..? Otherwise you'll have to elaborate because I'm v confused
Congrats on your sobriety, you ask a question that AA/NA/SMART/CHALLENGE and every program in between asks.
Coincidentally btw I didn't use any of these programs (props if it worked for you). I did for a week in detox, but I didn't feel the need for them much more than that. I didn't particularly like AA, although it is always valuable hearing someone's story. That's really what sealed it for me, hearing those stories in rehab - I was 20? Yeah 20 (short term memory is shot and long term memory ages 16-20 is also shot - seriously, don't do drugs the long term physical affects is by far the thing still hurting me the most - wish me luck at some organ imaging next week. I had really bad covid, covid can cause organ damage, mine already weren't in great shape (just liver) but.. yeah). Anyway, I was the youngest except for 1 or 2 people, and everyone emphasized how much they wished that an earlier detox + rehab stint had worked. From my story, I say this humbly, I have a lot of potential. Considering what my focus and masters will probably be in, genetic engineering, with my potential, someday I could make a lot of money. No one in my family makes much above 60k. Definitely comfortable, I've been to Europe, but there are whole other levels of wealth out there. And if/when that's the case.. Hmm. Let's say I make 200k, ballpark, I'd try to donate 10-15k per year to a range of nonprofits.
Just for funsies: Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, The Trevor Project, something God anything to help global warming, renewable energy, cats, Alzheimers, Ovarian cancer, veteran care (particularly less red tape/more accessible medical care, particularly burn pits, + PTSD and suicide prevention, something to do with lone migrant children at the border, Heiffer International, and genetic engineering research
Sorry yall, since I had the covid scare, idk what it is but I have a new zest for life and been talking a lot both to people in my life, IRL, and on reddit (apologies if that's in my post already- my point exactly). Y'all. I am an introvert okay. I LOVED quarantine (and felt horrible for all the human tragedy happening - and a bit of guilt for thriving and loving life). I hope this shift stays because I've honestly always been sad that that social part of humans never "clicked" with me. It definitely does, sometimes, for a limited time then I need to be alone lol.
And because why not, if you're at all interested in understanding: the inner psyche of Alex Jones (there are about 400 things you wouldn't expect- few of them good, some absurd and/or hilarious, most stupid/malicious/evil; how right wing grifters (look up the term if u don't know) grift and how they're part of a larger propaganda machine (who and which countries are involved? Like for real? Listen to Knowledge Fight to learn more! It took me about 150 (avg 2 hr long) episodes to realize that is word play on Alex's show InfoWars. Yes, Alex is one of the biggest pieces of shit alive and some of the garbage he spews is vile and genuinely distressing. Seriously - break this up with lighter podcasts for your mental health (I recommend Cool People who Did Cool Things).
Which brings me to another related but different podcast - Behind the Bastards, another
