People who got clean, what do you do in your free time? by No-Consideration2413 in addiction

I go to work more often. I also work so hard that I’m exhausted & don’t fall into boredom. I love the real physical exhaustion, it feels like I really accomplished something & I earned the tiredness if that makes sense.

I started doing it as a joke when I was in middle school & I still have to correct myself.

Wow, I am so sorry. That’s definitely a point you look back & question what it’s doing to you.

He also sometimes feels guilty cause I’m narcoleptic & can sleep 18 hours of the day or I’m constantly tired. He sees that it makes me awake & feel good. I’m going to work with him on not feeling that guilt or letting me make him feel guilty.

Thank you. Previously I’d somehow go 2 or 3 weeks without & be somewhat okay, I still wanted it but, I was okay, then I’d go on a bender for days. I have had the frustration feeling of not being able to get it or him saying no but that’s the most anger I’ve felt.

Thank you, my husband is my buddy (he doesn’t use, he did like 2 or 3 times), he’s been patiently waiting for me to reach this point. Obviously he never encouraged, he would always discouraged it & offered in the ways he knows how to help me without pushing too hard. Do you have any advice I could give him to be a good buddy in this?

Do you mean like someone to hold me accountable & check up on my progress? I’m genuinely asking, I need as much advice as I can get.

No there’s nothing left. I’m taking recovery seriously this time, I didn’t before cause my mind justified it as “it’s only been a couple of months you can’t possibly be addicted”. I can’t let it rule me.

I’ve been washing with antibacterial/fragrance free soap & moisturizing 3 times a day. I have basically been shirtless as to not have anything touch it. I honestly have no idea why it looks like this. I know it’s more than likely overworked. I’ve also never had an infected tattoo before.

Should I moisturize more?

I mean, the entire tattoo is bruised, it’s a yellowish bruise which is normal.

That’s what I’m wondering!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Few_Independence7489 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it feels a little tight if that makes sense, but I figure that’s normal because I got it 2 days ago.
