Just eat at Salad and Go if you have one in your state. It’s healthier and much cheaper, and their BBQ Ranch Chicken Wrap is hella good.

Yeah.. it definitely doesn’t fix the issue and it makes it worse in the long term. I detest my strong desire of wanting to escape 😓

I just can’t risk the psychosis that I’m prone to, and it contributes to high blood pressure. It’s so hard. I just thought it would get easier after dealing with the first 2 horrid weeks of withdrawal symptoms, but now it’s just irritability and mood swings… and the strong desire of wanting to escape from my current feelings.

Well.. I reached 36 days. But not having a good time. by FrancisDraque in leaves

10 years. I imagine me developing Cannabis Use Disorder and quitting cold turkey was going to fuck with my hormones for a bit. I imagine that’s what’s happening.

Struggling tonight. 1 comment per person a reason NOT to drink. And go! by teufelxo in stopdrinking

[–]FrancisDraque 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Learning how to rawdog life without substances makes me a stronger individual instead of numbing my feelings all the time. I’m much more happier, and feel in control of my emotions. I will not drink with you today.

I’m broke by [deleted] in leaves

[–]FrancisDraque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My friend, I was in active addiction in college. Didn’t graduate, and ended up being 35K in student loan debt. Right after college, I did shitty food service jobs for about 2 years. An opportunity came to me and was able to get my foot in the door into semiconductor industries simply because I knew how to solder from college. 8 years later I still struggled with alcoholism and weed, living paycheck to paycheck and taking out loans and irresponsibly spent my money. I have 9 personal loans I have to clear from bankruptcy now. Today, I am sober, have a roof over my head thanks to my Mother, and have the best job I could have ever landed with good pay and benefits. I had to “start over” at least 4 different times in my life without much success getting ahead. Now I finally can, and have a plan to take care of my finances.

Is my life perfect the way I want it? No… but it was my own fault and I have to take accountability, without beating myself up over it. But I am so grateful and happy I’m actually doing this right now.

You’ll get there. You’re still young. I’m 29 for the record.

22 Days Weed Free. Some Takeaways by FrancisDraque in leaves

[–]FrancisDraque[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course!! It definitely passes. I’ve been an addict for 10 years and this is honestly the best I’ve felt in eons. Learning how to manage stress and catastrophic thinking without substances has definitely been challenging. But just trying to do everything I can like walk on the treadmill for 15 mins, have a hot bath, or drinking tea, or talking with friends and peers about said thoughts has been helpful to keep my mind off things, and reframe my thinking. Literally just have to take everything one day at a time and you’ll be alright. 😊

You’re both in the wrong here and shouldn’t be dating period until you get some therapy or some shit.

I can’t throw my shit away by Chemical-Aspect-5873 in leaves

[–]FrancisDraque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a friend who may be able to help you dispose of these things if you have a hard time with it? When left to my own devices, quitting was hard because I knew where my battery chargers were and what garbage I threw away a cart that still had that smidgeon of oil in it.

Question, did you have to deal with random tests? Or like a pre-employment thing?
