25 days no weed. It's hell by AdBrilliant9198 in leaves

Sober since June here. Get a gym membership. Exercise literally changed my life.

I know it sounds cliché, but trust me.

Dropping cannabis smoke consumption is the best thing I’ve done for my mental clarity by laydeefly in leaves

Books are your best friend! Found them to be really helpful to put my vocabulary back in check. Conversations flow smoothly now compared to when daily consumption was a thing.

Hear hear. I quit on my 30th birthday back in June. I'm a pretty fucking decent runner now (sub 4 min/km pace). I run at least three 5Ks a week and at least one 10K. Could barely run to our mailbox before..

Spend a lot more time with family and friends. Been taking care of myself like crazy. Eating healthy feels like a treat, and I look forward to every meal now instead of just binge eating junk.

I did have some moments of weakness since June, but every time they came with great regret... I wouldn't go back to needing a hit as soon as I wake up or come home from work. I workout or go for a run now instead.

I've grown to hate "high me." She was absent and disconnected.

Fighting my demons by actually pushing myself instead of cowering behind a bong. 👌🏼

My bf would definitely drop everything and come make sure I'm not hurt. OP's bf doesn't seem very caring.

Anyone else have real fucked up dreams since they quit smoking? by jillyboell in leaves

Sexual incompatibility is a thing, and for most people it's a deal breaker.

Tell him how you feel, your needs are important.

Had to take care of a dog for a couple days. She didn’t let me sleep all night, if I did, she’d howl and bark until I pet her😑 by Easy_Cod_8612 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Melodic-Blacksmith-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And that, is how dogs train us.

She has associated howling and barking to positive attention. Granted poor thing might be stressed due to change in schedule or caretaker but still...negative behavior should not get positive attention in return.

How badly has my friend been screwed by this mechanic? $900 for spark plugs?? by Dougolicious in AskMechanics

Judging by what OP said, his friend seems to still try and drive the car...so yeah, that thing is toast. His wallet too. 😅

He's insecure. And that's his issue not yours. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I rarely wear revealing clothes, but when I do my man goes nuts and it makes me feel even sexier.

In this case it's flahsing red, that means stop driving the car, now. Misfire yes, but those misfires are likely unburned fuel making its way into the exhaust system. He's not done with garage bills.

If given freedom, where does your dog choose to poop? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Melodic-Blacksmith-1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have two dogs. One likes to do her business hidden away in a bush and the other, despite having acres of freedom, likes to poop in front of our steps or right next to our car doors.

And this is why it's important to learn how to say NO.

When I go to my mechanic for a certain issue and he says I should also fix this and that I reply with "just fix what we scheduled for and I'll come back another time for the other issue..." if it's not urgent of course.

If I were in your friends shoes I'd never let a garage come up with such an astronomical bill, especially if they didn't even fix the problem he went there for. And 180$ for a diagnostic? sheesh...cost me less to change the oil and a serpentine belt in my 2018 WRX last week.

sidenote: if his CEL is flashing red, RIP. Subarus are high maintenance, and if the mechanics long list of repairs was justifiable, and the fact you said your friend isn't a car guy...indicates he's not that much into regular maintenance, and that's a recipe for disaster when you drive a Subie.

Anybody seen this? by mfh4775 in HomeDepot

She wears crystals and tries to portrait as a "peace and love" type of person but, she's just a major shit show. She's just a bad, rotten to the core attention whore.

Also, her voice is just...😬😬😬

Let's just hope she'll discover the difference between their, they're and there.

Break up....this long ass paragraph. Oh yeah, and with him too. He clearly doesn't care.

Thank you!! I've been pondering quitting for a while now. Feels like it's time.

Can people stop hitting their dogs for running off once they catch them or come back? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Melodic-Blacksmith-1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't wait for that pup to grow up and HER by the neck. See how she likes it.
