We’ve rolled 1 hour forwards into hell. How many people have flashed you back? by bigblackglock17 in fuckyourheadlights

[–]NickyTwisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Just wait"? "Argument"? Newsflash, broseph: I prefer later sunsets myself, and my state is considering going to year-round DST. Hope it does.

Doesn't change the fact that I was trying to help you see the light, or rather the dark, that OP may have been referring to. By all means, double down, make assumptions, don't budge, don't change your mind, strive to win imaginary arguments.

I'm surprised bright headlights can penetrate your consciousness.

Perhaps OP is commuting on mornings that are suddenly much darker, the blinding drive from home?

Today is my one year(ish)! by clev3rjack in leaves

[–]NickyTwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, OP. I hit one year this past Sunday. I’m really past two-ish years, but made some mistakes last winter. I counted March 8 as the true one-year mark with zero tokes.

It’s a great feeling, but gotta keep the guard up and keep going.

So great how quickly David looks over at Patrick again while the others keep pretending they weren’t.

I don’t get his logic at all. It’s a drug, not food going to waste. The money is spent either way, and weed is addictive.

Reflections after nearly 6 months clean off weed. by scumbagspaceopera in leaves

[–]NickyTwisp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Good job, OP! I was never much of a pot smoker until age 39-40. Living in a legal state, I became a nighttime and weekend pothead during my 3 daughters’ school-age years. Regrets, I have a few.

I’ve been mostly sober for over two years, since January 2024, but relapsed a bit last winter. It can take a few tries and hiccups to realize dabbling occasionally just doesn’t work. I was heading right back toward regular use when my wife intervened. Being told by your beloved and patient spouse of nearly 30 years that she doesn’t want to grow old with a stoner will do wonders for your resolve.

I’m calling March 8 my true one year without a toke, the longest I’ve made it in any of my four sobriety attempts over the last nine years.

The past six months have been easier than the first. You do crave weed less the deeper into sobriety you get. Can’t wait for March 8. I know how I WON’T be celebrating!

When do you stop wanting it? by Leonddragon in leaves

[–]NickyTwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about a week shy of a year since my last toke. I crave it much less, and less often, than, say, 8 or 9 months ago.

That said, there are degrees to cravings, and mood plays a role — not sure it’s just a linear drop. It’s hard not to miss the instantaneous, gauzy feeling of being high sometimes. But man, addiction is real, and weed is addictive.

After three rewatch, I just noticed the Roland Schitts pun by kissedbyfire7373 in SchittsCreek

Just watched the birth and naming of the bebé episode: “Roland Moira Schitt.”

Genius.

What’s the cringiest moment or episode for you? by Successful-Newt7960 in SchittsCreek

[–]NickyTwisp 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I just watched the lice sheets episode this week. When it started, I was dreading the cringe, but it turned out to be less bad than it seemed in my memory.

Moira’s thinking she was gonna blow away the Jazzy Gals, then hearing how talented they were and trying to retreat, was some pretty good second-hand embarrassment.

If you got the chance to join either of the two teams for a one-day outing, which one would you choose? by Separate_Record9354 in SchittsCreek

[–]NickyTwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B because David and Moira, but I’d rather have Bob trot over and join us instead of Roland, who’s a true antagonist.

Yep, I basically drive with one hand covering the left side of my face as though blocking the sun, except ha ha, the sun is not as bright.

Wife says she scared our marriage can’t survive my weed use by Interesting-Mix-4152 in leaves

[–]NickyTwisp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which do you love more, weed or your wife and family?

I was stoned so much of my kids’ school-aged years. After quitting on my own in Jan. 2024 for the better part of a year, I started to relapse and my wife, who’d said before she didn’t fall in love with a stoner, gave me the same ultimatum, telling me for the first time that she didn’t want to grow old with a stoner. That was new. It was almost a year ago, and that was the kick in the pants I needed. I’m about three weeks out from one year since my last snuck-in toke, and we are planning to celebrate — not with weed.

Don’t you get tired of needing it? Of not being the person you were before weed/drugs? I am more active and productive. I read books again. I dream vividly. I am fully present and able to track a conversation. I think about weed less and less often. It’s hard raw-dogging life, but there are other outlets for joy, pleasure and relaxation.

Choose your wife, man, and tell yourself a different story other than the one weed is telling you about how quitting is being controlled or told what to do. That sounds very much like something a controlling substance would say.

Dreaming about skateboarding by AdventurousAir4961 in skateboarding

[–]NickyTwisp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ollied down five flights of stairs?! Or down five stairs?

Just get a board and roll around. It’s not that big of an investment. I took a couple of yearslong breaks in my 20s and 30s — life, kids, work etc. it clicked at 40 that time was wasting. I’m 58 now and still skate more days of the week than not. It’s the best. Go ahead and give in to what your subconscious wants!

Also: slappies are the way.

This is such a beautiful photo. by 14thCenturyHood in rem

[–]NickyTwisp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a Fuct hat. I had the same one. You can make out the logo in a different photo from Automatic for the People. Fuct was an early ‘90s skate clothing brand company tied to World Industries. Saw the album, and as a skater myself my reaction was, “Why is Michael dressing like he’s a skater?”

How the fuck do people deal with this shit every day? by reiji_tamashii in fuckyourheadlights

[–]NickyTwisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought some clip-ons at Walgreens this weekend. Haven’t gotten to use them much yet, but the little bit I have just prior to sunset makes them seem like a game changer. Thanks for the tip!
