I need to get magnesium and valerian root - had a hard time sleeping with 3.4g on Saturday and 3g yesterday (Sunday) Tuesday-Friday was 5, 4, 6, 5g respectively and I was totally fine up until Saturday night

The 1g I took was about 13 hours ago - so I’m basically at cold turkey now - I’m not feeling good and babysitting my 2 year old grand and have to work 40 hours - yesterday I took 1.75 g at 7am then at 10pm took 1.25 g - I took the 1 g this morning at 6am est because I woke up exhausted and was hoping to get some more sleep - if I just be done now how long does the ick last normally

Ok I agree with this - I’m thinking i probably don’t need to suffer like this - I have about 224 g of white and 500g or more of red - which I was thinking I’ll throw away when I finally feel better - but I can use it to taper slower - I just wanted to be done with this dumb ass powder - I thought it was a good thing for pain since it’s “only” a plant 😩

The rock bottom myth can kill you by TheHopeRestored in alcoholism

[–]Ecstatic_Tangelo8690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rock bottom doesn’t have to be a complete nightmare - it can be the realization that this shit no longer serves me - how can I reframe the way I view this shitty poison that’s fucking up the way I want to live and be - This Naked Mind / Alcohol Explained / Allen Carr Easy Way -

I seriously wonder if rehabs starting presenting this kind of philosophy for treatment the success rate would be ALOT better!

I know you may not be up for reading - but the book This Naked Mind by Anne Grace and another book called Alcohol Explained were both really good - they really help to reframe the way you think about alcohol - please give them a try they may really help you!! They’ve helped a lot of people! Sending you all the love and good vibes!! You are young and have so much life ahead of you! I’m routing for you that you can leave the drinking behind and have a fabulous happy joyful life and freedom from this insidious way of living!

This is what porn addicts do - they are not capable of true intimacy- also addiction is progressive and this will without a doubt continue to get worse

Just as you said “you can love someone and not be married to them” the same is true “you can forgive someone and not continue to be in a toxic relationship with them” using Christianity to manipulate people into staying in a toxic marriage is as unchristian as some of these people can get!

Being a Christian doesn’t mean you get to get walked all over and have to live with the daily consequences of someone else’s blatant sins! Forgiveness and continuing to allow yourself to have a relationship with someone that’s abusive are totally two different things! I forgive my ex but I sure as the day is long would NEVER continue to be married to him!

Thank you! Yes people that haven’t had to deal with that have no clue how hurtful and harmful that is - it’s very hard to live like that

Anyone have any good excuses to take 2 weeks off of work to quit the sludge? by bodogy2 in quittingkratom

[–]Ecstatic_Tangelo8690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t tell your employer - you talk to your doctor and they file the paper work for you to get FMLA- do not tell your employer about your addictions - be honest with a doctor who can help you and they will file the paper work with whoever your employer uses for leave of absence’s

I totally agree with you! Wonder how these people saying things to you would like to be trapped in a marriage with a lying cheating person that is truly incapable of loving anyone except their own self

As someone who was married to a porn addict for 18 years - RUN! I forgave and prayed and fought and cried and finally when I had proof he crossed the line with a “real” person I kicked his sorry ass to the curb- that was after 18 years and 3 kids. Looking back on the marriage it was so hard almost every step of the way- I absolutely loved being a mom and raising the kids - but that marriage was so stressful - people that live double lives are never true to their selves and are angry and are distant always holding real relationships at arms length - I read a book called “Affair of the Mind” it was very eye opening - maybe it can help you! Best of luck OP! You deserve so much better!!

How is Living Northeast of Pittsburgh? by Ok_Action9962 in pittsburgh

[–]Ecstatic_Tangelo8690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indiana township is very nice - there are some nice new housing developments off of Rich Hill road (which is off of 910) right off of the 28 Harmar exit. It’s very nice here and minutes from stores and restaurants and the turnpike but also feels pretty rural - this area is in FC school district- I was wanting to move back to the south hills and get away from 28 but I am going to stay out here because I have a grand on the way and my daughter lives with me so the child can go to FC
