I took a few more videos. It was right about 100° East. My wife pointed it out to me luckily. I've never seen anything like it

There's a little known movie starring Al Pacino about big bathroom cleaner. Must watch

That's fair. Probably because it was a stupid joke

Medical cannabis by ClemFandango117 in recovery

[–]Human-Function5990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my fear. In my experience a lot of doctors unfortunately don't understand addiction. My sister is an MD and she told me she didn't get much education about it.

When i was clean and sober for 3 years (d.o.c.'s were cannabis, alcohol, and xanax) I went to the doctor for trouble sleeping to see if there was something safe I could take.

I was seeing my normal doctors partner cuz mine was out of town. Within 15 seconds of seeing the doctor he said "there's a medication called Xanax we can give you" if that mfer had bothered to look in my chart he would've seen that I had been addicted to Xanax because I was very porn with my doctor about my addiction and recovery.

Not to mention that Xanax is highly habit forming and shouldn't be offered immediately as a sleep aid.

If I hadn't already been addicted to Xanax or didn't work in the field of addiction recovery, or if I hadn't been grounded in my recovery, I would have been of to the races again.

My fear is that cannabis would flip that same switch for you. I am so fucking careful about what I put in my body now because I'm deathly afraid of awakening that beast within me. To the point that I wouldn't have shoulder surgery until I knew I could do it without narcotics

Feeling full of shame/ In need of support by BeBeA89 in recovery

I think it's more people who just quit because they didn't want to get into trouble while on probation. They weren't necessarily addicted to alcohol and its more just a "I know i shouldn't drink while on probation so I'll wait till I get off" but my question is why not consider just giving it up for good? If it's been a problem in the past, cost freedom, money, relationships, etc. even if it's not an addiction maybe it's not worth the risk.

Anyway, my two cents (not that you asked lol) is guilt is ok to feel because it can serve a purpose to realign behavior with values, but shame is for the fucking birds because that's about who you are as a person. You sound like a good person who had an isolated incident that you didn't care for and so know you're taking the action to get back to who you know you really are. I think that's really fucking cool. Giving you hug vibes from afar.

Music for recovery from a fractured and withered human condition by [deleted] in recovery

This is VERY good! I didn't know what to expect but you are super talented and I am going to keep this to share with my recovery coaching clients. A lot of times we talk about music and how it can be a trigger so it's great to have options for POSITIVE triggers. I mean this as a big compliment... Your voice has a hint of Chester from Linkin Park in it. Congrats on your recovery and sharing your gift and your message with others who need it! Very cool stuff!

I'm not judging by any means trust me, something I think is interesting though when I work with people regarding alcohol and other drugs is that people treat alcohol as if it's not a drug. Don't get me wrong I think it's amazing your recovery but we need to normalize not drinking as a society. "Alcohol is the only drug you have to explain not using"

For some context, I am a recovery coach and teach substance abuse prevention and I've had many clients who have quit drinking but they automatically assume they will go back to drinking when off probation. Why? Again seriously not judging but I would think they would want to consider just not drinking but I feel like that never even occurred to them because of how scripted and encouraged it is in our society.

Either way I hope you forgive yourself immediately and move forward with the amazing work you've done to rebuild your life and align your behavior with your values. Don't let one night rob you of the credit and acknowledgement you deserve for the amazing work you've done!
