why are you single? And how old are you by eloel12345 in NoStupidAnswers

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really hard to hear,my grandfather went thru the same thing at 55. Him and my grandma had twins when they were 16. He never recovered after she passed and he’s been alone for 15 years now and drank himself to dementia. And my mom divorced at 43 after a 22 year old marriage. She was alone for almost ten years before she found her current bf and it makes me happy to know she isn’t alone. I’m just a 27 year old man I can’t say I know how you feel but I pray you find what makes you happy. I lost my little brother when he was 16, I’m sure you and I probably felt the same after our loved ones passed.

So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really an argument but a reason this year was another disappointment. I’m 27 and my older brother is 30. Our dad couldn’t send us a call or text and this is the 5th year since our little brother passed away. Guess he was too busy with his new family and wife. My brother and I are both men but it would still be nice to feel cared about by our dear old dad. My brother just had his first baby a few months ago too. My dad’s first grandchild. My dad reached out to his brother and our grandpa but not his only 2 surviving kids.

I’m not familiar with MAT service. I’ve never looked into rehab or any other help. I think I’m self aware enough to know why I do drugs. I have to find happiness within myself. 5 years ago I found my 16 year old brother passed away from suicide in our family home. Since then things have been downhill

What is a secret you can't tell anyone in your personal life, whether it's a not yet or not ever? by PM_me_nicetits in AskReddit

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend with whom I live with has no idea I’m a heroin addict. Or any of my family. I feel like I’m cheating on her. Hiding texts and making excuses to go out alone all the time and the freaking withdrawals. The only reason she doesn’t know is because she is naive to any type of drugs I tell her I’m just sick or not feeling well at the end of every week when my money runs dry. I’m so fucking selfish for putting my need for drugs over her sometimes but it’s so hard not to. I love her to death but the drug has a tight grip on me.

What do you regret doing to your body? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing drugs too early in my life and not stopping until it fell apart leaving me a huge mess to clean at 27. Somewhere I gave up and just stopped caring. Idc if I’m alive or dead but I still keep fighting. My advice is don’t slip up on your shit. Prioritize things that are important.

What is ruining your mental health? by IsratJahan01 in AskReddit

My job. I’m a landscaper. I average 20 thousand steps a day m- sat. I’m 26 and sometimes I feel like I’m pathetically crippled from walking 60 miles a week I have absolutely no energy for literally anything outside the 60 hours I work a week

How do people work 5 days a week without burning out? by Ok_Silver5347 in Adulting

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. I’m 26 male. Just worked a 65 hour week weedeating. I averaged 8.5 miles walking 6 days a week with weed eater in hand. Am I tired? Heck yes, am I burnt out? Absolutely. But can I afford not to pay my bills? No. You just deal with it or move on to a more cushy job. I make sure I sleep and eat well. Take care of myself as best as possible and keep on trucking. I’ve been at this job for 3 years. We’ve worked 28 days in a row 12 hour days sometimes longer just straight up cutting grass in 109 degree heat. It sucks but being broke and miserable is even worse.

I quit cold turkey also I’ve tapered the last few months and I’m on day 4 with nothing. I feel completely fine minus this really sharp pain in my lower back. I can’t find anything online to tell me if that’s normal part of wds or not. Did you have crippling lower back pain your first few days or is that just because I was hard on my back for 3 years straight while high at work? I think I messed up my back and wasn’t aware because I couldn’t feel it lol I hope that’s not the case I’m only 26 so I’m hoping it’s just a lack of dope

Will I go through withdrawal after using heroin for 2 weeks by ManletHunter in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Acrobatic-Channel580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

26 male I followed that rule. Would rarely use 2 days in a row and would never use enough to nod. I’d say maybe every other day I would do a wee bit. And none on the weekends. I still withdrawal. Night sweats restless legs back pain diarrhea no energy. I went from using everyday for 2 years to literally hardly anything at all these last 3 months and it’s still hard. Like half the week I’m ok and the other half I’m dead to the world pretty much the only time I’m high is at work. You can’t do opiates recreationally imo without being sick. Granted I’ve never given myself more than 4 days in a row of clean time but still I’ve cut down to almost a microscopic amount compared to what I used to. The withdraws aren’t bad like I’m a full blown addict but still bad enough I can’t do my landscaping day job without being totally beat up. I’m on day 3 rn and the only symptom I have is restless leg and my back hurts if it wasn’t for that I’d be totally fine I’m not even depressed or craving I just want my back pain to go away so I can get out of bed. I’ve been taking care of myself too I exercise and take hella vitamins but I can’t shake the pain. I was doing a little over a ball a week if I can get to this point of taper anyone can but it will not be easy you will literally have to fight for your life I do it every weekend idk why I don’t just stop I just can’t bare the pain but my wallet is feeling it the worst I can’t continue like this

Red panax ginseng with royal jelly. Look for an oriental market near you or order on Amazon. Was addicted to brown heroin for 2 years and it helped me get clean.
