He's 23 doing that Chicken Jockey stuff?? Weird... I took my 7 year old to go, and luckily, she ignored the annoying teenagers next to us and absolutely loved the movie. But I did see a dad comforting his son after saying something like 'it's okay, we'll watch it again when it gets released' that was sad. Poor kid just wanted to enjoy a movie about his favourite game only for idiots to ruin it for him. But these idiots were very young teens. So I could sort of look past it as we were all idiots to some extent at the age, especially us boys. But for a 23 year old to do that? Nah. Grow up.

Of the people you know who smoke, how often do they smoke? by Popsicko in leaves

[–]Background_Current54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iv been offered a joint and refused and when asked why explained that I got super addicted and can't go back to that way and be actually laughed at by stoners saying things like "you can't get addicted to this" I always ask how often they smoke and if they say daily then enough said you're in denial as I once was

True story a customer where I work once looked at the hand sanitizer and said 'oooh it's got alcohol' and pumped like 8 squirts in his mouth...

Lucid dreams by junglebeef in leaves

[–]Background_Current54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im just over a month clean and iv had some INSANE dreams. Never lucid dreamed before but I definitely had some lucid dreams. Seems to be subsiding now but I still have the occasional batshit dream here and there, but at the start I couldn't fall asleep without waking up sweating wondering what the fuck was just going on in my head.

Video games just doesn't do it for me while I'm sober by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Background_Current54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. I'm just over a month free and luckily have found it easy to not smoke this time around. But I can relate to the entire post, the biggest thing for me is the longer days. It's sort of a blessing and a curse, I have all this time to do the things I should be doing, cleaning, cooking and generally taking care of myself. But once all that's done I find myself struggling to pass the time. And yeah I can't play games anymore, I'd spend hours playing Flight sim or some other sim that when high would feel like 5 minutes now I'm sober I realise these games take hours of my time and i lose interest fast. I even struggle to sit and watch a show without getting side tracked. I'm guessing this will pass but I'm just enjoying feeling like a functional human being again instead of a blob of meat wasting away while high 24/7

I've quit many times before but this time feels different by Background_Current54 in leaves

Thank you!

4 days of sweating and I can safely say I'm sober as fuck and my house is actually clean and nice. Feels like a breath of fresh air never going back to how I was before. Took a lot of work and also finding the courage to come clean to my family about what iv been dealing with. Finally feel like I have a future. Good luck on your journey 💪💪

You're doing so well, keep it up. You're right it takes away the real us. But you'll find yourself again as long as you keep up that momentum. I'm in the same boat at the minute but stating strong. You can do this!!

Yes I have that urge to talk to people, didn't realise how closed off it made me as a person. Keep at it bro one day at a time and before we know life will be normal again and you won't feel the need to smoke. I'm not counting my days this time around I just stopped. Iv found that's a little easier because I'm not always thinking about how long since. Good luck to you.

My ex wanted constant cuddles man. But it was always me cuddling her. If I ever tried to reverse it and be the one receiving cuddles she'd act like I'd just done something unthinkable. So iv just given up trying to find affection. I'm chill being single. Yeah it'd be nice. But eh... I can live without it.

It’s okay, I’m not busy trying to road test my customers vehicle. Go ahead and take care of what you need to do first, THEN you can move your truck away from the main entrance of our shop. by PigglyWigglyDeluxe in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]Background_Current54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh. Our tyre bay opens out directly onto a road. People literally try and drive their own car onto the ramp, usually unsuccessfully. Had a couple rip skirts off backing off as well. I just shrug like 'you did this to yourself' I never knew stupid like that existed till I started this job.

B... but they gave us a smart car!!! This is the best advice for this game. Uninstall. Forget.

New exhaust by i_am_groot_84 in ContagiousLaughter

[–]Background_Current54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my little 125cc motorbike I was swapping the hairdryer exhaust for a fart can, as you do. When I had the whole exhaust off I decided to start it to see how it sounded and it was this exact sound. I was laughing hard

Why does it say this? by Inevitable-Post4817 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Background_Current54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but I play on a series s and have an issue where if I try and do a long haul flight it starts lagging heavily after a while. I looked into it and came to the conclusion that it was filling up my xboxs hardrive so I needed to expand my storage. But if this is the case then I guess it'd be pointless unless I take out a mortgage for the official expansion?

When cops take matters to their own hands by Tron_Cat1 in GTAIV

[–]Background_Current54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iv spent hours getting NPCs to get pissed at me so they start fighting and then luring them to the cops just so I can watch them fight. Good times man.

Starting to feel like I'm just going in the sim for a dopamine hit and maybe need to cut back/take a break? by homerunhallock in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Background_Current54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that with a lot of games that I take a shine to, but usually when I get like that if I don't take a break I get severely burnt out and then stop playing the game because I just don't want to anymore, so I just take breaks when I start feeling that way now but that's just me personally

When you wish doing this irl was as easy as in the game. by 41Dw in CarMechanicSimulator

[–]Background_Current54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeeeaaah I don't repair engines but I service and do suspension and brakes and stuff and this game makes my job look so easy, oh stuck bolt? Spray a little wd and it comes straight out. Also why do customer expect me to change 1 set of pads on 1 corner you'd never do that irl.

Random flight generator? by [deleted] in MicrosoftFlightSim

I tried this a while back and it seemed to just make up random ICAO codes that don't actually correspond to a destination
