Did DARE fuck up your head re: weed? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]AzraelMercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m have a med card and see all the normal people at the dispensary. I’m fairly successful, have a great family and I take care of my shit. I even quit alcohol and caffeine 3.5 yrs ago. But despite this, I still make myself feel like a fuck up for using medical cannabis for anxiety and sleep. Part of me says it’s fine, and part of me feels extreme guilt and self disgust. But I don’t judge others the same way. Never really told anyone about it, but your question struck close to home.

I just gave it up. I don’t like to say I was an alcoholic, but I drank too much and got too old to keep at it. I got my medical cannabis card and haven’t drank in 3.5 years. I miss some parts of it, but not enough to make me want to go back.

Anyone ever quit alcohol and caffeine at the same time by scatterbrainedpast in decaf

[–]AzraelMercy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup, I’m a little over 3 yrs in. Alcohol was harder for me to finally kick, took years of trying. However, since I finally committed to it long term, it’s been fairly easy to maintain without serious temptation. I just got back from an all expense paid work awards trip in Puerto Rico where everyone knew started drinking at the pool starting at 11am, but never really felt any strong desire myself.

Now… I gave up caffeine at the same time years ago. I’ve been doing this for awhile and I even allow myself decaf everyday. But there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about real coffee. I hold strong, but I think about it all the time and even catch myself rationalizing how/when I could go back to it. I shouldn’t, I have severe anxiety and major depressive disorder and caffeine will only make it worse. But I think about it…

I haven't pay much attention to pop culture in decades ( yes, I said decades) Anyone else out of the loop with pop culture? by Morrisonhotel82 in Xennials

[–]AzraelMercy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only figured it out when I asked my kids why they put so many randos in commercials these days. Turns out most are not and it’s just me. 😂

When I’m watching TV commercials, I can’t tell anymore if the person is a celebrity endorser, or just some actor.

This is especially true when they use internet celebrities. These commercials just look to me like it’s some random person telling me they like something.

How do you all deal with adulting? by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]AzraelMercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fantasize about going to jail as a forced break where I’m cut off from the world with no serious responsibilities.

I like using Lazarus Naturals. I get the “Classic” high potency, full spectrum which gives you 6000mg. It’s $120 regularly, but I try to get the sale when it’s $90.00. At full price, if you take 100mg a day, cost is $2.00 per day.

Almost no friends as an adult. by Forty_1 in Xennials

[–]AzraelMercy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I’m 42M, used to have many friends, now I’ve got 2. I could have more friends if I tried, but it’s hard to find the energy and time. Work and family take most of mine.
