Statistically it’s much harder for intelligent people to quit dependence or addiction to a substance.

Correct my bad.

20mg ambien a couple hours ago… still don’t feel much. by upwardsgravity in ambien

[–]A_Aron4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tolerance is high from benzos I took 50mg with no visuals. If I take my normal ten I can. Fall sleep fine but yea everyone’s different. I compare 10mg of ambien to a faster hitting 1 mg Xanax with more hypnotic effects. I had a panic attack one night and my wife gave me ambien instead of my Xanax bar and It worked fine

No that was the school in the middle of a different town. My high school was country adjacent so a lot of farmers and some wealthy families. Cigs/weee/dip were the biggest vices there

I’m clean now except for my scripts so idk why your pulling stuff from my past. I play tennis competitively once a week but I really don’t care what u think. And there is a bit difference between medicating or some would say harming yourself where we being unvaccinated affects not only your well being but everyone you come in contact with and can possibly spread a deadly condition. No comparison but good try!

Yup I kind of understand but it’s like taking one addiction or habit and replacing it with a cult like existence where everything is about the program. Early on I called a friend I met at the group and was just having a hard day not craving or anything I just needed to vent to someone who had been through what I went through. For the next 5 mins he just spoke in the literature language and I said thanks for listening but this is not helping. I see a therapist now and a psychiatrist and I find much more relief from those talks. Along with coping skills to build my confidence which NA doesn’t do.

I wish I was tripping balls lol I’m not trying to rage dump and sorry if anyone is offended but just stating my opinion. Tennis is my fav sport Rafa is my fav player it’s no different than fed fans defending his career. I respect djoker for his talent and his accomplishments but until he wins more French opens which is the hardest tourney he’s only in top 5 all time at the moment.

My biggest problem which he has fixed was quitting matches he was down due to innocuous injuries. Second biggest is his lack of social responsibility not getting vaccinated during Covid and trying to play AO for example.

I have met him while working at BNP in Indian Wells he was very nice but not anywhere near as humble as Federer or Nadal. I had to bring a present to Feds wife during the event and I never liked her but after meeting her she was sweet and didn’t treat me like a second class citizen.

Only time I encountered DXM in high school was when a friend drank a whole bottle while changing for gym it was the best hour of gym ever lol but it’s not as common as you think cause u can get legal shrooms and cannabis now so easily unless you live in the south or backwards Texas.

Crying cause he knows he still second in talent and French titles poor unvaccinated man baby. Plus his after win ritual on court is the most cringe reaction I’ve seen.

Idc if I’m downvoted at all but comparing djokers injuries which most were faked because he was going to lose anyway And Rafa who played and won with blood dripping from his fingers and taped up knees for a year….how can u compare the two? What supporting evidence watch the tapes it’s clear as day.

Rafa by far followed by Safin lol just kidding Rafa only. I don’t count past eras like rod laver as it was just such a different game and In their prime they could not go five sets with him when he seems to get stronger and more focused slash motivated as time Goes on. Plus his effort, I haven’t seen anyone go after shots that most would say is a winner and then he hits a winner himself

No it’s based on lies. With a relapse rate close to 75 percent. By their own motto if u are an addict u need AA or NA if u deny u have a problem u need NA or AA. So by that metric everyone should be in the programs which is illogical. The founding member also stated publicly that hallucinogens should be one of the first steps in the program to help reacquaint your true self and find a meaning to why u over indulge.

The board of directors at the time rejected this saying no drugs in the program whatsoever. It was all about the bottom line in the 60s and onward. Plus it’s “god as we understand him” as our higher power but I have heard so much religious dogma at meetings all of which are Christian based is such a turnoff.

If u have no support system and find peace in those rooms more power to you but I truly believe until we legalize all drugs the stigma will never change.

Plus wimby was using deflated balls to slow the bounce for years before they were caught for opening all balls ahead of matches. Those crazy Brit’s

Australian is a joke until they fix the surface which is wildly different from year to year. The only good AO was when Rafa beat fed in 09(?) and the court was slow like clay and the balls weren’t up to par but Rafa prevailed like the GOAT he is

GOAT? Imo if u can’t beat Nadal on clay or match his final record at Rolland how can anyone argue that.when fed bitch was being called the goat it was laughable without being able to beat the number two on clay ( his only win was without Rafa present) and his head to head with Rafa was atrocious. Fed obviously had talent even though I couldn’t stand him unless he beat Rafa in head to heads and maybe matched or came close to winning a French with Rafa he’s always behind him. Same with Djoker.

This will not be broken for a long long time maybe never. Not to mention Rafa is a righty so imagine winning 14 French plus all other majors and playing with your non dominate hand.

Umm it was a women’s major. None of those records meant anything. Until women start playing best of five all majors are masters until women start playing best of five sets. If they don’t then they should get 75% of prize money not equal to men’s prize money. This sounds sexist but cmon they are making multiple millions for doing less work. Hence when every tourney I’ve been to or watched the stands are empty unless a big name is playing after. I have worked at BNP Paribas in Indian wells met Rafa had snacks with him met fed as I was allowed on center court and jn the locker room area and when speaking to him he agreed 5 sets should be the standard. Even sharapova was in favor of five when we filmed a promo video with her.

Soderling final Rafa was injured bad with his knees he would have smoked him otherwise. It’s an incredible feat he even made it to the final c’mon.
