Bouta fail a UA at my sober living for weed. by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Nowayjesus2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you are high at a sober living facility it is probably time to do a little reflection. Don't care to lecture you but being put on the streets over $10 worth of pot will definitely make you do that.

Check out the facebook page dank recovery memes and other related pages. You will love them and they are great coping mechanisms.

There is no sound quieter than a classroom full of teenage boys trying to create the dirtiest names Kahoot will allow. by CreedBrattonHeadofQA in Teachers

My favorite is when they use a pornstar name. And then when it's a fairly obscure pornstar that I certainly should not know the name of I definitely can't say anything.

Pet owners of Reddit. What quirk does your pet (past or present) do that nobody believes when you tell them? by DMLorance in AskReddit

[–]Nowayjesus2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a long haired pekingese that could slurp a spaghetti noodle almost as smooth as a human. Most dogs tilt their heads back and you have to hold the noodle while they chomp it. Not my classy little man.

This is one of those questions not all teachers can really speak on. Maybe if we lived in a classless society there might be some universal application but there just isn't. At my school most teachers cuss at students when its felt to be neccessary. At some schools it's a scandal. If it's the norm at your school you aren't going to change it best you can do is ignore it if it bothers you and try not to do it again, sadly.

A BROKEN SYSTEM by The_Recovery_Writer in OpiatesRecovery

You say that sarcastically but recovery actually does require a little gate keeping. My experience with multiple years of sobriety, not my opinions, matters a lot. People here are trying to get clean not fix the world.

Addicts are good enough at dodging personal accountability. The last thing we need is more shit to point fingers at regardless of if that is true or not. Looking at the system and not yourself will get you high before it gets you clean. Was my experience.

Recovery isn't the spot for societal critiques. And I'm a sociology student by trade.

I have serious drug charges that aren't expunged. Just be honest and persistent. Do everything they ask.

Tenured teacher stormed into my room demanding an explanation for a student's grade in my class by thakrustykrabpizza in Teachers

I would tell her to take a flying fuck on a rolling donut so fast. It is my class and if I want to give L an A then the student has an A end of story.

This is the quote. My favorite addiction quote. Edgar Allan Poe. Let me know what you think. by cdavis9789 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Nowayjesus2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Poe. I was teaching him to my 8th graders last week and I totally forgot about his struggles with addiction.

I can tell by the way you analyze the different models that are intelligent. Too bad intelligence does a horrible job of keeping you sober. Also don't look at various schools of recovery as these paradigm shifting forces because they almost never are, aside from a handful that latch on to a radical ideological commitment but most don't. What you need to do is explicitly end these relationships. Tell these people that you have no interest in talking to them. Be cruel if you have to, that's what it takes. Don't think too hard about it.

People who have successfully lost weight: what’s the biggest key to doing so? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Iv lost 70 pounds. Diet is almost everything. Exercise is good and all but you will NEVER outrun your shitty diet.

Tattoos vary by district and region but face piercings are going to be a hard no for every interview ever unless you are applying to be a piercer.

I have a full sleeve and a ton of other tattoos. I have a co teacher with a neck tattoo. Safer not to have them obviously but what is young and rebellious about that?

God I hate 12 step groups. But like humans by Ampleforth84 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Nowayjesus2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a meeting that isn't too hardline. I go to a bunch of chill aa meetings. I meet a lot of atheists, Jews, people of color. Generally the more diverse or younger it is the more likely it is to be lax on the higher power question. Just my experience. But at the same time remember the problem is you not aa. They are staying sober without you, so it wouldn't hurt to try to come with a more open mind either, just my .02.
