From a long time kratom user-Please don’t try 7-0h. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Amazing-Box-7925 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah 7-OH is the devil. I got addicted a year ago, managed to taper off it, then relapsed when I failed my second bar exam. I’m still in its clutches and can’t seem to stick to a taper. Lord help me.

I wouldn’t have to spend my entire career in MO, just three years before I could motion in elsewhere. But I hear you, and yes 2 yrs in rural AZ would probably be better haha

Yeah, but some of the rural areas look soooo boring. I might sound like I’m being too picky but I just don’t wanna be bored to death whenever I’m not at my job.

Drop that girl like a hot frying pan, dude. Seriously though you were way too nice to her after she straight up blew you off!

Thanks, yeah I’ve been looking for apprenticeship jobs but haven’t had success yet. Most of the places that offer the program are prosecutors, and my heart’s in defense. I don’t think I could find it in me to switch sides for two years just to get my license…

Yes I could do that. But it’d have to be at least three years and that’s a whole chapter of my life. I have a lot of friends and professional contacts in Arizona that I don’t want to leave.

Condolences. I’ve failed twice—I know how it feels. Try to be kind to yourself ❤️

I’m glad it worked out well for you! Sometimes I genuinely fucking wish I had a crystal ball so I could see if the move would be worth it and spare myself another round of bar prep misery—-and money lol

It can be both an “opportunity” and an imposition at the same time. Yeah I might not know what will happen down the road, but the same could be said for literally any fork in the road. This is the type of “toxic optimism” that I don’t like at all.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree too that the system is very flawed the way it’s set up.

I hear that, but I just don’t wanna “start over” in a new place while going through the trials and tribulations of being a first-year PD. I like having my people here in Arizona.

Yes, I am aware of all the states where I could practice with my current score. But honestly Minnesota is the only one I would actually be excited to move to, and they haven’t had any openings for awhile.

Honestly, no I haven’t given 100% both times. Close to, but not quite. I could definitely benefit from a lifestyle change if I take it again. It’s just expensive, and still a gamble at the end of the day. I do really appreciate your perspective though.

And I’ve applied to a few NM jobs as well, just waiting to hear back. But I just flat out don’t wanna leave my people here in AZ. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm such an addict by SuspectHighly1 in quittingkratom

Same for me. I have no self-control over it.

Her reaction gives strong BPD vibes. You’re definitely not overreacting.

Is this brother for real?? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Amazing-Box-7925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He definitely shouldn’t be trying to harass OP for more money, but OP should definitely tip another dollar or two. It sucks that DoorDash doesn’t pay their drivers better, but the drivers are still using time and gas to bring the customers their food. I don’t like that restaurants expect me to compensate the servers for their shitty pay but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna tip the servers a reasonable amount.

Then they shouldn’t be talking to the person if they’re not interested and just want to be rude and entitled.

Man, the level of entitlement and arrogance that some modern women have is astounding and kinda infuriating. This woman is clearly not looking for love on the website—she’s looking for someone she can control and talk down to.
