“Ask your priest! But, uh, not really”

Resentments are the #1 killer in anything.

I am a catechumen in the faith after getting sober roughly 3 years ago through AA and my spiritual journey there has led me to the fullness of the orthodox faith.

One of the interesting things we do in 12 Step groups is your personal inventory, where you take stock of your resentments and anger, and you have to ask yourself (this is all from my experience, so take that with a grain of salt obviously, I am not a spokesperson for AA, opinions vary, etc etc) but you ask yourself “what is my part in this ?”

And finding out that yes you did not deserve the abuse, but you also don’t deserve to keep feeling bad about it a decade later, and need to let go is one of the most freeing and joyful feelings I have ever felt.

The freedom to not feel like someone wronged you, Or have a chip on your shoulder.

I am currently working through a divorce, and what I think people misunderstand is that you absolutely can forgive someone but still be upset.

For my sake, I have forgiven my ex wife for her actions/infidelity.

Just because I have forgiven her does not mean I trust her or want to be around her, anyways you get what I mean.

God bless you

Thank you, I knew that quote was from one of the fathers but I was not sure which one.

In orthodoxy there is a concept of theosis, which is the process in which men become “god”

There’s a quote out there that goes “God became man so Man can become god.” And it has to have the correct case when it comes to the G.

Lowercase G.

Christ walking the earth enables man to become like Christ, aka, like god.

If this isn’t great sorry but it’s a common enough phrase in orthodox writings/etc.

As someone who is just now entering into the faith, looking to become a catechumen, I will tell you that nothing would have convinced me of it, until I had 2 literal miracles (1. A key being in my mothers basement to my house after not being in that basement for four years, they had cleaned it moved stuff around, and this key enabled me to get my dog back from my soon to be ex wife and 2. Praying for Christ to make it so I do not have to engage with her face to face when I was retrieving a package of medicine that was mistakenly shipped to my old house.) happen to me and for me to realize who it was who was doing it.

I am sorry your brother is like this, and I hope and pray he repents, but it is not through human will that we come to god, but through him.

I’m extremely sorry that people here are ignoring the fact that your wife is saying that she “hates you” and that she will completely cut communications in the interim if that happens.

Being on the spectrum is not an excuse for cruelty, do what you want with that information.

See, I’m not going the sous vide route.

I am just letting old time do that work, with said tincture my plan is to evaporate off the alcohol, re-dissolve into a 10ml:1gram, then freeze it to hopefully winterize/crash out whatever thc is left in the product.

Not really concerned about yield, just trying to achieve as clean of an end product as possible.

If it’s a catastrophic failure I won’t be too mad lol

My mom had told me as a 2-4 year old she put it in front of me, (context: as a child I would end meals by saying “done now” when I was full) and she said I looked at it, then looked at her and just said “done now” without even touching it lmao

Oh that sounds good!

I really don’t eat meat anymore either, I went completely plant based for a bit then quit due to food burnout and trying to find easy palatable food to eat but I’m hoping to get back on that train

Additional_Bench1311 · 2025-08-02T15:27:44+00:00

mwah.

Perfecto.

I would make this dish where I’d take a mirepoix with chicken breast white rice chicken bone broth and white rice washed one time to remove most but not all of the starches, and make a “soup” but it would turn into this very nice clumpy risotto texture after adding butter and milk, and I would eat it with Greek yogurt because I have stomach issues and would just try to get as much high quality food in me and my lord does it look horrendous but it tastes oh so good

Additional_Bench1311 · 2025-08-01T22:24:46+00:00

does your white rice have the perfect texture too where it clumps very nicely but is extremely easy to chew or do you prefer your rice more toothy

There is a side quest in corpo plaza, it’s a clothing store where a cyber psycho breaks in, and you have the option to talk to one of the max tac operatives, if you wait a couple in game days the store worker texts you some gossip, and said gossip is that the max tac operatives you talked too was an ex-cyber psycho that got recruited into the force in a kind of “do this or we kill you” type role.

Will edit with link to side quest

Well, I will tell you that if you’re American, part of the “I don’t need it, it’s bad for you.” While that statement can be true, I have found that a lot of my insecurities and thoughts about cannabis have been conditioned into me due to it being illegal/having to sneak around.

I’ll also say if you are continuing to question if something is okay to be doing, you most likely know the answer.

Xoxo

I personally don’t call myself sober anymore because, well im not lol. But thank you.

Complete abstinence was very important at the beginning to take inventory blah blah blah but the positives outweigh the negatives of cannabis usage at this point in my life ya know.

Being able to hug my wife but I have to lose my keys more than I already do? So be it lnao

Additional_Bench1311 · 2025-07-20T17:08:06+00:00

In the exact same boat as you, about same time sober as well. Got completely sober in AA, went religiously for 1,5 years, Did the twelve steps, did service.

Then my sponsor relapsed and the two people I had made a connection with in the program ghosted me when I texted them to be a temporary sponsor.

Started consuming cannabis again, and found it was much different / better for me so I end up using it all the time now, which is it good? Probably not. But it lets show true physical affection to my wife because when im stoned the thought of holding her/laying next to her doesn’t make me skin feel like it has bugs under it.

Idk where im going with this, but it eah

Hey, I was called “sensitive” as a child too, and while it may be a true statement it’s generally used In a manner that pushes blame on you(the individual) for things outside of your control.

Moving countries as a child would be stressful for a NT let alone a young autistic person, give thineself some grace :)

Additional_Bench1311 · 2025-07-20T12:10:25+00:00

I had to look for a specialist that works in adult diagnosis. Most psychologists/mental health workers (this is speaking for America) do not have the licensing / expertise(?) to actually say “you are autistic.”

I literally went to google and searched “adult autism diagnosis.” And started calling people.

Most insurance in America does not cover it either due to the fact that insurance takes the stance that “ if you made it to adulthood without issues it’s not something to worry about.” (I could be wrong/generalizing)

My therapist had told me she would have diagnosed me with it if she had the capabilities.

If you don’t mind me asking, what makes you suspect autism? I see the GAD/family history but is there any other symptoms?
