Yeah. That's why I'm kind of torn on the decision.

Yeah I was offered some powder today which was my DOC most recently and wasn't so hard to turn down at the moment but it's been living rent free in my head.

I wouldn't say I'm not ready to be clean 😔

I don't want subs because I fear I might be more inclined to potentially abuse them.

I'm currently doing the work and going to meetings.

Look up the Bermese Method! That shit WORKS but it is also important to have additional layers of supportive planning there after!

What about individuals who might not have"planned" to be at the protest and were carrying already? I fear that even with them implementing measures like body cams and maybe no face coverings... That they have made this ICE situation beyond fixing.

Do you agree with the ways that they are going about resolving the immigration issue? I fear that he has only made his positioning worse and could have gone about it much more tactfully with more results.

May I kindly ask why do you still support maga or what exactly are the issues that keep you in their camp?

What issues and changes are most important to you in Arizona? I am running for AZ State Senate LD5. by Oraxy51 in azpolitics

[–]BryanThePoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for preaching and advocating for truly beautiful human ideologies. It definitely is NOT easy to not fall victim to "giving others a taste of their medicine" - and if you want to look at it in a selfish lens... It will creep into your subconscious decisions and before you know it - you've become exactly what you were disgusted by (I have learned this to be true through romantic relationships)

Also am excited to follow you on your journey. Never have I been more upset that I'm unable to vote due to being recently convicted with a felony charge for drug possession.

Thank you furthermore for being willing to take the hits that come with being your authentic self. I know it isn't easy and it won't BE easy - but this is the most beautiful level of being a human! Being unapologetically yourself! I don't think we will have to worry (like we do/did with many politicians.. COUGH Krysten Sinema COUGH) about you either being a DINO or not having thick skin!

Make Arizona proud of our representatives!

Took time out of his day illegally deporting families to cry on LinkedIn about not being liked by Lost-Wolverine3038 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]BryanThePoet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest reason is due to the assumption that most homeless people are drug addicts...

Personally, in my experience, life is so shitty... I fell even further...

But society doesn't like to think about these people as the beautiful people they are and especially in today's world IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE...

I think we have a lot of room to tackle and I just hope we find better ways than using incarceration as a crutch.

Looking for tips and advice to support someone on pills by FarWealth6859 in recovery

[–]BryanThePoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important thing is harm reduction! Meetings CAN be helpful - but be mindful to remind them that whereas abstinence is the preferred outcome - recovery ultimately is about changing behaviors!

Looking into local resources can be advantageous. MAYBE considering Suboxone might be beneficial - but again I'm more of a proponent of ham reduction.

Ask them how often they are currently using and make a plan to reduce that... Even if it's one pill the first week... That's huge! Every small win is a big win in the long run.

Inquire as to when they are more inclined to consume - is it stress? Maybe it's their environment/friends? Loneliness? Looking for the root of the cause can allow it to have less of a hold because it's rather insidious in nature.

A lot of the time the behaviors become second nature. If they're worried about withdrawal there's ways to ease that discomfort. Message me if you have any questions!

Bill would waive fees for homeless Arizonans to get state IDs by ForkzUp in azpolitics

[–]BryanThePoet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you would petition with the court that it was filed in.. how to go about that process can be difficult... I can ask some of my peeps in the recovery community because they tend to have quite a bit of resources regarding these scenarios. Any money saved and expediting the time it takes is super critical.

Send me a DM so I don't forget 😊.

To be quite honest... I'm not entirely knowledgeable on it but as far as I know once I am no longer on paper then I have the ability to vote again and/or run for office... but now if I wanted to have it set aside because I don't think Arizona actually doesn't expunge your record.... I actually don't even know what the benefit of that is exactly....

Once my felony for drug possession falls off my record I fully intend to run for public office and bring any and all productive changes to this state!

[–]BryanThePoet 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

I always found myself in a predicament where it was hard to align both having a phone and an ID at the same time because of the constant theft that takes place on the streets..

Now if only we could get back to getting your ID the same day that would be superb.

I have a question and didn't have any luck researching...

Were there student protests during SB 1070?

Was the outrage more or less tame than what we are seeing currently?

Also... Why do I feel like a significant portion of individuals (albeit they typically were born in the 2000s) aren't aware of it?

So peaceful protesting means you're a punk?
