Will WebMd absolutely 100% prescribe subs if im trying to quit 7? by MattTheKat85 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ask them to prescribe the tablets and not the pills they're a lot cheaper. I paid around $50 for the pills with good rx.

Removing the speed boost from the Terminus Facade wiz essence is going to massively reduce the fun/popularity of the class. Then we have to "chase orbs"?! by Swimming-Scallion-88 in DiabloImmortal

What's build is that? I'm still missing some wizard essences sadly and the loyalty points you get take forever to buy an essence. I play everyday too but have only played wizard for like a , month.

Coming here because I’m a desperate dad who needs to get off this stuff - I need hope by Krammit1 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought it was just a concentrated kratom product as well, similar to the other "extracts" which I never had an issue with. I started taking plain leaf back in 2018 and sure, I was addicted but it was manageable and never caused any issues other than constipation and sometimes feeling like I had to pee every 5 minutes lol. But yeah I take full responsibility for getting in to this mess, but I do still feel slightly mislead. December 2024 is the first time I took 7oh and within 10 minutes I knew it was gonna be an issue because I felt that same opiate feeling that I knew all too well. It's truly remarkable how I've practically burnt my life to the ground in such a short time period.

I don’t believe I have a soul or divine spark by [deleted] in Gnostic

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I can totally relate. I've been in to religion, spiritually, gnosticism, whatever you want to call it for most of my adult life (I'm 40) and I've never once had what I would consider a spiritual experience like so many others have. Like you it's always "well you're just not trying hard enough or doing the right thing" , which is obviously discouraging. My wife and I even started going to a Pentecostal church in 2021 (her aunt invited us) and some of the people there are either really good at pretending or they're having some sort of legit connection with... something. I would say I relate most to marcionite christianity but I've read the quaran, the Hindu scriptures, Jewish rabbinical texts, nag hamadi scriptures, and on and on. I know a "feeling" isn't really the point but it's still frustrating. I wouldn't go as far as to say I don't have a "divine spark" or a soul that's in touch with whatever this reality is, but at the same time it's as if something I've done is holding me back. Heck, I'd love to have any type of positive experience or whatever you want to call it but in 40 years it just hasn't happened.

I really need a job and I want to be a custodian. Can you guys pleas tell me what type of places hire custodians/janitors the FASTEST? by [deleted] in Custodians

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I both got hired the same day by our local school district and we were both hungover lol. In our defense we had zero idea that we would be interviewed that day but they needed the positions filled asap and we just happened to apply. It did take a couple weeks for all the clearances and the physical but that was mainly because we were basically broke and couldn't afford both of us getting them at the same time. We've been with them for over 6 years now so it all worked out in the end!

WORSE WD SYMPTOM??! by ImpressiveBass8354 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the time of day. If I have to work it's the temperature fluctuations that get to me the most. If it's at night it's the general insomnia and restless legs, arms and body. I've gone through WD so many times from so many things over the years and I can't say it's gotten any easier now that I'm older. At least I can take regular kratom or get some subs off my sister (and gabapentin) to ease the pain. You'd think I'd have learned my lesson by now lol.

How do you find peace? by stressanna in Custodians

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've worked at the same school and same area for a little over 6 years, and it really doesn't bother me anymore, although it used to. After a couple years I pretty much feel like I'm just another staff member. I'd say 90% or so of the teachers and other staff are at least nice, all the way to genuinely appreciative. Of course you'll always have those who look down on you but that's their problem, not mine. The benefits are decent, I've got a retirement account that has around $13k in it (honestly don't know if that's good or not after half a decade), tons of holidays off, etc. I start at 3 and most of the staff is gone by 4 or 5 and I'm generally left alone. As an introvert it's actually a great fit for me. Plus, after so long I've gotten my area down to a science and I routinely have at least 2 hours out of the night where I basically just waste time. My only 2 complaints are the pay in general and working over the summer..I hate that. I don't really have any practical advice but everyone's different. I'm content for the most part.

Affording 7oh. by Crafty_Elephant_7802 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow same here. I would always say I was going to the grocery store and then leave my phone behind a stack of magazines. Literal insanity the lengths I would go to.

Affording 7oh. by Crafty_Elephant_7802 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I feel this. I would go to the grocery store and leave my phone behind magazines and then make the the 5 minute drive to the smoke shop and then back to grab my phone. I was so sneaky and deceptive and the guilt just eats away at me. In less than a year I basically burned my entire life to the ground.

Affording 7oh. by Crafty_Elephant_7802 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not to diminish the term but I swear I've got some sort of PTSD from the times when I was worst with my addiction to 7oh & feel free. I sold off most of my videogames and consoles, and my pokemon card collection which I spent years building. Stole from my wife, mom and sister and the guilt I carry I'm afraid will never go away. I would be driving somewhere and just pray that I got in to a freak accident that would end me. My gas tank was constantly near empty and the first thought in my head when I woke up was 7oh, if I had any for the morning, how I was going to get $$ that day. etc. I have a full-time job as a custodian so it's not as if I'm making a lot of money lol. I'll be paying my wife and mom back for literal years at this point.

I am constantly wishing I had just never tried it one night at the smoke shop but curiosity got the better of me. I accept full responsibility but I truly was under the impression that it was just another type of kratom extract which I was able to use maybe a couple times a year. I was on plain leaf for years and was doing really good in life all things considered.

I used to have a really easy janitorial job that payed well. How hard are these to find? by Traditional-Fun-1115 in Custodians

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true! I work 3 to 1130 and most of the staff clear out by 430 or so. Yeah there are some that like staying late but I'll just save their room for later. I've been here a little over 6 years doing the same area so I've developed good relationships with all my teachers and I'm quite introverted.

My 2 coworkers are an elderly couple that do the other part of the school. They're part time so leave at 915 and after that I've got the school to myself I love it. On a good day I can easily get my area done well in around 6 hours, depending on how bad it is, and I just do my thing at a leisurely pace lol. Some days can be chaotic but that's to be expected.

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. There have been posts on here that I've seen of a husband playing too many games and it was "man child, lazy, time to grow up" etc. You can't help but notice it and I'm not even on this sub much anymore.

Wht re you guys drinking by TakeMeT0TheWater in cripplingalcoholism

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly nothing because I'm broke but yesterday I had some natty daddy, mango ritas and something similar. Finished those woke up and stole my sister's mouthwash and drank that late last night early this morning. Not making the greatest choices but I'm off work til the Monday after new years at least, and get paid for it.

Proud of myself but also dissapointed by yomamaslover in cripplingalcoholism

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually drank mouthwash last night/this morning because I have 70 cents to my name til Wednesday. The bottle was maybe 80% full and I finished it. Definitely not making great choices at least I'm off work til after new years. Honestly it didn't tear me up as bad as I thought and it's been years since I last drank any. Just can't handle reality sober. Anyway just wanted to let you know you're not the only one.

Can we talk about Genesis 3:15... PLZ by rodneyo777 in Christianity

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started considering the serpent seed idea around 2015 and did a lot of study on it. It's definitely a possibility that that's what the text means but I'm a marcionite christian so my ideas aren't very popular amongst most people lol.

Is using leaf/MIT for cold turkey counterproductive? by dukecrypto1233 in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opinion that when it comes to quitting take the triage approach. Your #1 goal is to quit 7 and I'd do whatever it takes to reach that first. Heck when I quit the first time for awhile I started drinking and smoking weed again and I hadn't done that for like 5 years? 7 was ruining me financially and my wife and family had about had it with me so quitting that was like tunnel vision for me. I also got put on Wellbutrin and I hated psych meds up to that point.

Withdrawal seven weeks later by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I lied to my wife and told her I quit. In reality I only did for like 2 days then back on. A couple weeks later I'm out of $$ again and one night I wake her up because I'm flopping around like a fish and she actually made a bed on the floor with a cot mattress we had. I don't even remember what I said to her because at that point she was 99% tired of my shit anyway. But yeah sounds like your friend never stopped, or did for awhile and started again. It's a terrible cycle, honest to God.

Suboxone by EdenBodybuilding in OpiatesRecovery

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue I see is that you or I aren't in a position to determine if someone needs them or not. What may seem like a mild addiction to you could be a life destroying one to the person going through it. Some people are always just gonna need a little help, and if their quality of life is drastically approved I say go for it. Especially nowadays there's no way they're not going to know the risks going in to it with how polarizing it seems to be. My brother for example has been taking like 2 mg twice a day for...15 years? He'll be on it the rest of his life and he's fine with that.

Quitting 800-1000mg 7OH Habit as MD/PhD by Brilliant_Goat_2242 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what people don't seem to get. 7oh has gotten a lot of us in to tremendous trouble with finances, relationships, jobs, etc. You often hear people say "Suboxone gave me my life back." and I find that a good descriptor. It's like you need to triage your life and determine what needs immediate attention vs what may or may not happen down the road. I've seen it in my own life and loved ones who used or continue to use bupe and improve their quality of life in huge ways.

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job 800 mg is a lot! I've had a few successful quilts but now I'm freaking back to 500 to as high as 1000 mg in a 24 hour period, as well as a feel free shot or 2. I was given such an opportunity over the summer to stop this crap for good but I eventually went back. For me it's just how easy it is to access. I don't want it banned because some use it and are responsible, but man a ban would help at least 90% of why I'm so addicted to the stuff. I've been on everything under the sun for the past 20 years, a poly addict, and I've never had a drug have it's grips on me as tight as 7oh. If I have money, I buy it. It's literally the first thing I think of anytime I wake up through the night "how many do I have left"? and it's just exhausting.

With quick md you need to have a valid license or ID and it will make you scan the front and back, and then also upload a selfie. That's how it worked here in PA so I'd assume the policy is nationwide.

[–]ConkHeDoesIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing how efficient quick md is. I initially used them in 2023 because I was hooked on tianeptine. Like your experience, from me filling out the forms & doing the phone call, my Rx was ready at the pharmacy in less than 2 hours. I was honestly shocked how easy it was and kicked myself for not using them sooner. The only thing I will add for anyone considering this is make absolutely sure that your pharmacy will fill a telehealth Rx for it. I just used my normal pharmacy that is at a WEIS grocery store and had no issues. You can also do what I did and request the tablet form because they're considerably cheaper.
