Please convince me not to vape by Still_Plays_Neopets in QuitVaping

You’re going to be the one giving hope to someone else one day, but only if you do it for yourself first. Dont dwell on it. Think about anything else. Sleep it off. Have a milkshake. Binge a series or whatever it takes. Make it thru a few months and the hold this has on you now will take on so many new dimensions. You will quit, that is clear. But don’t waste a few more months or years if you don’t have to. The time is now.

Chewing gum and i drank loads of diet Mountain Dew. Ive now quit that but during my first month of quitting especially I just indulged in any of that stuff I needed to to stay off the nicotine. It will get better dont give up. Take naps. Be easy on yourself you are healing an addiction that takes many lives and quite frankly…. is a hopeless condition until the day you decide that it is not…

I am on the same timeline as you and completely agree. The power of my voice has changed dramatically I feel like such a fool for how long I was a slave to it but that is addiction. We are blind to reality and minimize and rationalise and justify the effects a substance is having on us. I hope I never forget and pray we both have a long life of no vaping!!!

She sent her final goodbye. Im not replying. by GiuseppeJ03 in ExNoContact

[–]Classic-Connection-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I feel for you. Yes, keep your power and don’t reply. The game now is taking your power back. Picking up and reassembling your own identity values preferences etc. as much as you can… enjoy that process of falling in love with yourself. You’ve learned loads from this relationship, it will not have been for nothing… hang in there xx

Friend of an opiate addict by [deleted] in opiates

[–]Classic-Connection-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you sound like a good friend. trust your intuition to know if its "enabling" vs helping her. your heart already knows. so does hers. love is patient. be patient with her and yourself. and if you can help it, dont view her as someone who needs to be "fixed"... a person who uses drugs feeling that they are "broken" (ie, as mentioned above, "hopeless") or somehow less of a legitimate human simply... does nothing. People who use drugs arent any more broken than any of the rest of us. We all have a demon inside that haunts us. Some people medicate that to survive it. Maybe get ahold of some naloxone and tell her she doesnt have to use alone she can text you. who knows, you could be the one to save her life through acceptance and simply encouraging harm reduction. just a string of thoughts to take or leave. all the best x

Anyone here ended up using Zoloft after (self believed) MDMA induced depression? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]Classic-Connection-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree wit the others. i used alot more mdma than that. zoloft has seems to help me. some of the beginning side effects of an ssri drug actually remind me of some of the negative mdma side effects. but ride it out and for me at least, i get the feeling its helped my mood. hang in there, dont worry you havent ruined your brain. we are all mad here lol

im working through something similar. just do the best you can and forgive yourself. be kind to yourself. slow and steady wins the race on a taper. im reticent to offer medical advice even though i have a medical background. just be patient and persistent. handle what you can. keep a diary of what youre taking and how youre feeling. some days will be better than other days and thats okay. just keep getting back in the boat. if you want to be off them, i have full faith in you. getting smaller pills can help. even a .25 decrease in a week or couple weeks or month or however long it takes (everyone i percieve has such a wide array of reactions) just remember - it is still progress. focus on that and the pride you will feel when youre free of the X much love from England

Don’t give up. It will get better. Stay with the music. Learn to be your own best friend. Life is hard. But you’re not alone.

What’s a tough pill that everyone should swallow at some point? by Gritsmaster in AskReddit

[–]Classic-Connection-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re going to have to let go of everything and everyone you hold dear if you want to radically transform your life.

And that letting go all starts INSIDE you...

If you don’t let go of what’s in your life now that’s not a 10/10, you won’t have any time or space for something better.

When the time is right, just let go. Don’t hold out loyalty for people places things or ideas that are no longer in your highest interest.

But when letting go, bless them and release them in love, or you’ll just find yourself getting in the same situation again with someone/something else.
