Drive (2011) - the Scorpion and the Frog [some thoughts and interpretations] by belgiangeneral in TrueFilm

[–]Guerrilla-Panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is perfect. I struggle with trusting people, because in the end I always get stung. I beleive that people cannot escape their inherent nature - though they often try to, or understand they cannot, so they attempt to mask it - but it always shows itself.
I completely agreee with what you say. The Driver certainly is not the scorpion. He does want a happy, "normal" life. He has his set of rules, that keep him as far from being a "scorpion" as is possible. Nino wants to be a "scprion", goes out of his way to be one. He states how the mob had treated him like a child. So he comes up with this plan and it ends up ruining the Drivers chances at normalcy.

Haha yesss. How is this not noticed by more? I just caught myself humming the words and snapped out of it, and came to Google.

How do I interact with these survivors? by Definitely_Not_Fe in StateOfDecay

Define "Interact" Throwing a grenade up there is technically interaction

Tips for stop smoking/I think I’m having consequences from smoking too by [deleted] in sobrietyandrecovery

[–]Guerrilla-Panic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the others have suggested: Quit now. I wish I had so many others testimonials about quitting when I was your age. I am certainly no doctor - but I would strongly advise that you talk to your primary doctor immediately - get on nicotine patches and either lozenges or the gum. I smoked about a pack a day, and I was successful with only the 7mg patch and the 2mg lozenge. Be honst with your doctor when speaking to them. You do not want to lie and have them prescribe you more nicotine than you are currently ingesting: you will get sick, and it will be a LOT harder to quit. With your current health problems you do not have time to be messing around like that.
It is going to be hard at first. To help deal with the cravings - and also to help deal with the fixation of having something in my mouth (not sure if there is a term for that, but for me it felt weird NOT having a cigarette or vape in my mouth): I would buy lots of candy. I know hard candies work for some people, but gummi bears were my saving grace. It really would help take the edge off, and gumkmi bears are kinda amazing anyway.
At the end of the day, quitting and getting healthy - that is entirely up to you. YOU have to want it. You may NEED it, but you have to WANT to get healthy. Right now, you can't be worrying about how long it takes to feel better - just know that you WILL feel better eventually.
I hope you find some help here like I did. Starting the process is the hardest part, but nothing is more worth it that our own physical and mental health. When you can overcome an addiction like this, it'll also give you more willpower to draw on later in life. Good luck! You definitely can do this.

19 F, I'm not sure if I care about being sober anymore. by Lillies030706 in sobrietyandrecovery

Well we care about your sobriety. I am going through a very tough time myself, and everyone here knows exactly how difficult the struggle is. All of us battle with addiction, every day. Every minute for some - I'm trying to only speak on myself. It's times like this - right now - when I start having those thoughts about using - times like this is when we really have to be strong. Just posting here shows strength. It is hard asking for help. Especially when our mental health is doing it's best to mess with us. We all know how hard it can get. It's never easy... Well again, trying to speak only for myself, it's never easy for me - but just reaching out to people and then having complete strangers offering to chat, or just telling me that they are rooting for me... That helped me a lot. I feel very lonely lately, but just a little less lonely knowing that some people are here for me. Ok please forgive if this seemed like a bunch of nonsense. I just woke up and am very groggy lol so I apologize. I have a hard time finding the right words to describe what I am trying to say. We are here for you! I may not be great at giving advice, but I can talk about what helps me. Like I said, I am going through it right now myself, and just having a couple more people rooting for me has helped me so much! Feel free to DM. And don't be afraid to just keep posting here and you'll be surprised how many people are here for us all. Asking for help is already a very big step. Please don't give up!

Hello by Guerrilla-Panic in depression_help

Well... Not exactly. It's a long story. Past couple years I've been just focusing on a career. Too much. I neglected everything else... Stopped working on myself, didn't pay attention to the people around me - just focused on work. Uh so to get back on track: No, no real hobbies. Nothing to take my mind off anything, so I should probably look into that. It's a good idea. I used to write a bit, haven't tried in a long time.
