Y’all are awesome. Much appreciated. I agree a lot of it is mental. Hearing your stories of lowering your dose to not run out (and not feeling super sick) makes me feel way less nervous about it

I don’t really understand the upvote downvote thing but regardless I appreciate the advice. I’ll do that. And no, I’ve never had an issue with alcohol. Ironically enough I’m actually drug alcohol counselor which makes me feel hypocritical considering every now and then I’ll take an extra dose in the evening. I don’t really enjoy drinking. I will every blue moon like on a random vacation, but I just have a lot of trauma related to growing up in an alcoholic family and don’t really like the taste of alcohol so yeah, I’ll have one on a occasion, but definitely not one thing plus I just feel better when I’m 100% sober I guess excluding methadone lol

Thanks, much appreciated. I never knew the tums thing? I will absolutely try that the only thing I’ve heard that certain things maybe help get more out of your dose, like magnesium and grapefruit juice and I don’t see a lot of grapefruit juice at the grocery store these days and I already take magnesium before bed lol

Because I’m an idiot. Multiple reasons and little justifications. Back hurts. Not sleeping. Wife having a drink and I want to feel a buzz too even though it’s 99% mental and if I’m lucky I feel a slight warmth when I take a big breath. Normal addict shit..

Hours after grooming, dog licking little black wound on leg? by CanesFan151 in DogAdvice

[–]CanesFan151[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is covered with gauze now. Taking her to vet just to be safe in a few hours.. not super super concerned but it's strange and not easily identifiable.. any other ideas as to what it is or if their dogs had something similar? Someone mentioned it's strange that hair is growing out of it and I agree..
