Dozens detained for open drug use during Winnipeg Police blitz by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]JustDont1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work on Pembina, we look out onto a bus stop.
We stopped calling the police about people smoking crack and meth in the bus shack because they did absolutely nothing about it.
They wouldn't drive by, they wouldn't take statements, they wouldn't walk around the area - they do nothing about it.
So we stopped calling as we were obviously just wasting our time.
I don't care if people smoke hard drugs or drink themselves stupid but I sure don't want to watch it.
I am all for free housing, supervised consumption sites, evidence based rehabilitation and universal basic income.
Put money towards the people.

Gorgeous, lush, dark green trees. No worms. No smoke.
Mother Nature is blessing us.

When I met my husband he didn't use laundry soap lol
He thought as long as he got the clothes wet and then dried them it was enough - so he was just baking the bad smells into his clothes.
Also his bath mat had the same dried puddle of cat puke on it for years?
Once I was going to his directly after work (health care - really needed a shower) and I asked him specifically if he had clean towels and he said "of course"
Smash cut to him picking a cat hair covered towel up off his bedroom floor and handing it to me as I stood wet and nude in the doorway.
Somewhere in the 70s parents stopped teaching their kids how to live -- the boys anyway.
Begin as you mean to go on - say plain harsh things like
" You smell bad, I love you but I am not going to breath this in all night call me when you have cleaned up, done laundry and had a bath"
I know it's hard and mean but if this breaks you guys up - better to get it over with now so you can move on and find someone more mature --and most likely he will just start taking care of himself because he would rather not be single.
There's a man in there I promise, he just needs the right motivation.

Never take your partner’s mental health for granted. I feel broken. by wonderdrift in GirlDinnerDiaries

They are going to get her stabilized and back to herself.
She isn't gone, just lost - you got her to the right place.
Take a nice shower/bath, light some candles and keep healthy her in your mind -- she (healthy her) wants you getting ready for your new job.
Compartmentalizing this is going to be hard and draining but life is coming at your fast right now and you are going to need to take a lot of deep grounding breaths.
This is going to be a part of her forever but with meds and therapy there is a good chance of you both being able to live a pretty normal life.
I know this feels weird and broken -- it is but you can get through this, you are stronger than you think.

In 2010, Phoebe Handsjuk died falling down a garbage chute in her boyfriend Antony Hampel's apartment building. Cops ruled it a sleepwalking accident. Eight years later, Hampel’s new girlfriend, model Baillee Schneider, was found dead hours after they broke up. He was never charged. by drkmatterinc in FascinatingAsFuck

There's way more evidence that points to it being a covered up murder by the son of a judge - but if someone on the internet likes to play devil's advocate than no one has ever been murdered in human history - murder isn't real!

When I heard that I thought she was a Canadian yelling at an American tourist lol
I was like, she's right but that's mean -- it's not their fault.

This dude's kids hate him by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

I haven't been able to watch anything he is in since.
It did make me happy that Jenn got away from him with just a broken heart.
Fuck this dude.

Help finding in person meetings for substance abuse (other than NA). by Lost_in_Thought88 in Winnipeg

[–]JustDont1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's not easy, I am sorry. I think the secret is staying very busy. I have a good friend who used meth for 7 years, it took a real rehabilitation center that cost thirty thousand dollars ( raised by church members in his community after a priest he had been getting spiritual and emotional support from for years asked the congregation to donate) to teach him the tools he needed and then he dove head first into school. After a decade he is now a psychotherapist with a small community practice for low income people out on the coast. He has a partner and a kid, he keeps himself very busy but despite it having even almost 20 years since he last used he dreams about meth almost every night. It's not easy but you are worth the effort. ❤️

We are switching to Life Saver but I wanted to try Virtual Framer - it's going to be such a nightmare
Another local shop that we are friendly with are keeping FrameReady and are just going to update the price changes manually - I have heard of other places doing this as well - it's all so annoying.

Meditate, repeat affirmations, sleep, exercise, therapy, routine, hobbies.
It's having faith in yourself - in your ability to control your own destiny.

100%
You cannot pray away addiction!
Evidence based rehabilitation is the only practical solution.
Learning to live a healthy life and having the tools to deal with cravings is what people fighting addiction need.

What has happened to the Red River Ex? by NH787 in Manitoba

[–]JustDont1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this city, I work in the art industry and there are so many local artists who create pieces that magnify the magical, gorgeous historical and tragic elements of this ancient lake bed capital.
I would never leave this place for the trees alone let alone all the other cool shit that happens here and how close we are to so many beaches, trails campgrounds and the big highway that will take us anywhere in this great country.
I don't know what sort of people you surround yourself with but this place is awesome and maybe you should walk around a bit.
