Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I've been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings... It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It's really good vibes here so far, I'm looking forward to more posts as people join.

Maybe rubbing alcohol? It's a solvent. Ideally you'd want to pull the battery etc. while doing this and try to tip it so the coffee gets diluted by the alcohol and then carried out as the solution drips off. I've seen JayzTwoCents clean other computer parts with alcohol baths. I'd try something like 70-90%. I might just be talking out my ass though. But that's what I would try if I was determined to try to fix it without taking it apart. :p Make sure it has time to dry before using it.

I've had some good times journaling, but it's been hard for me to start up as a regular practice. I never know what to write about. Do you have any suggestions from your own experience on what to focus on for someone that's just getting started?

I would love this as well!!

I love the idea of going out and having tasty drinks with friends without the pressure of needing to be intoxicated. Think of it this way - if alcohol was the only reason people were going to bars, why even have cocktails to cover up the taste of it? To me it seems to fall very much in line with the other trends of society lately, like with bubbly fruity waters or healthier versions of soda. I've seen more and more people abstaining from alcohol for reasons beyond addiction. Wanting to be healthier and live life without a hangover, taking care of their bodies, challenging social norms of what's considered fun, replacing alcohol intoxication with other kinds, trying to connect in more authentic ways.

Personally I find myself drawn to these new ways of living too, and even though I still drink on occasion, I feel a lot better when I don't and I'm glad there are alternatives that are all-in (rather than just ordering a soda at the bar).

Great idea. Although I can definitely see myself screenshotting the responses and never reading them again until I go back later while I'm cleaning out my phone.

That sounds like a great time. Now I'm hungry. 😆
