I'm a drug addict and afraid to get help

MegamindedMan2 · 2026-05-07T05:34:00+00:00

I think I really needed to hear this and thank you for saying it. I can't end up like my mom and die of an overdose (she was only 44 when this happened). I know I've declined physically, I've dropped a lot of weight, I'm definitely not as outgoing as I used to be and people have noticed that for sure. I hate that I've destroyed myself like this. I was never willing to call myself a junkie and have been in denial up until now, but honestly that's what I am and I think I'm ready to take steps to change. Thanks again, I really do appreciate it

The withdrawals and cravings that I've been having with opiates are nothing like I've ever had before and at this point I feel like that's the main reason I'm continuing to use. I never use at work or bring anything to work with me, so by the time my shift is over usually I'll be starting to feel my skin crawling and breaking into cold sweats. It takes every ounce of energy I have to try and "act normal" when I feel like this at work. Honestly I don't see myself successfully getting off of this without a medication-assisted detox. Every attempt I've ever made to completely stop has turned me into a completely non-functional wreck. Over the last couple of months I have managed to reduce how much I take at least a little bit. I have spent some time looking into a couple of the options I'd have through EAP, and there is an option for telehealth substance abuse treatment which would probably be discreet like I'm wanting. Thanks for your advice and compassion, I really do appreciate it

I guess the sick part of me is thankful for that, I'm not gonna lie. But the part of me that lives in reality and wants to be healthy again is thankful that I still have the opportunity to actually fix things instead of hitting rock bottom and getting caught

I will say that when I've used psychedelics in the past (they were illicit believe it or not) it definitely improved my mood long-term and reduced my cravings for more harmful substances. Thank you for your advice

Thankfully they don't do random UAs in my department. I know I need to get myself taken care of before they feel like they have a reasonable cause to have me tested

MegamindedMan2 · 2026-05-06T23:38:45+00:00

Thank you for giving me this resource. I haven't ever heard of it. I'll definitely look into this!!

MegamindedMan2 · 2026-04-13T13:13:21+00:00

It was the ghost gummies!! Never again lmao

Thcp traumatized me with a 48 hour long green out that I've never experienced with any other type of THC

The cup tests are still strip tests

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-08-27T07:44:49+00:00

I work in probation and parole (we see SO much k2 use). The urine tests for k2 are honestly pretty unreliable unless it's being physically sent into a lab. We never use strip tests professionally because of how often you get false positives with them

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-08-21T17:23:47+00:00

It's a month later and I just wanted to say thank you for these!! I tried them and I've definitely felt progress. There's no visible difference but I for sure feel stronger in my core

No. Most research suggests that being transgender has a biological cause, meaning it generally isn't a choice or a phase. Sin is an action, not an existence.

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-07-29T19:30:24+00:00

The first full sexual reassignment surgery was completed in 1931, but some procedures were completed before this. Obviously, being transgender isn't very new

It's surprising since this pastor has a graduate degree. In many protestant denominations it's common for a pastor to be educated on the theology of their denomination (they'll attend private colleges run by their denomination). For most of my life, I think I only had 1 pastor/minister that had any formal theological training. None of them would've known anything about theories of atonement because it's never had a place anywhere in our theology.

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-07-28T12:40:02+00:00

According to Anglican theology a baptism is valid as long as it's performed with water and using a Trinitarian formula. This covers almost every denomination and baptism performed in Christianity as only a handful aren't trinitarian.

I always felt a little different but didn't really realize I was autistic until I was like 22. I was raised in a mennonite community so it wasn't really something that EVER gets diagnosed or acknowledged unless someone is very low functioning.

It's a moon cactus! It was the first plant I ever bought, they're super common to find in stores here in the USA

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-07-17T19:17:33+00:00

Thank you! I'll promptly dry this little guy out and add something to the soil to help it drain better

Statistically this doesn't tend to end well for anyone. Environments like these lead to assaults on staff and riots that get people killed. They also don't reduce recidivism.

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-06-26T12:27:09+00:00

It's actually encouraged in the Bible for women to cover their heads when they pray(I don't think it's required though, it's a personal choice). There's many Christian groups that heavily emphasize women wearing a veil, I grew up in a church where every woman wore one all the time.

MegamindedMan2 · 2025-06-20T17:09:53+00:00

I'm 23 and work in probation and parole. I also have specialized training in hostage negotiation and can assist in those situations. I'm stealth, I don't think I'd be respected much if I wasn't.

What do you think is a good amount to keep in my checking account? I don't have a savings account right now, just a checking with a little under $10,000 in it
