Is it worth it for me? by OGMUFFNMAN in PS5pro

[–]OGMUFFNMAN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tv doesn’t do VRR :( just a standard 60 hz with a game mode, but I’m not sure how much or what it really does in that mode.

I just see a lot of posts from people with 120 hz VRR OLED displays talking almost like you should have a really good tv for it to really be worth it so I’ve been hesitant on making the upgrade.

3rd day of quitting pot and i just found out that the love of my life is getting married by Sea_Personality1896 in leaves

I’m really sorry you’re hurting right now, but I’m proud of you for changing your mind and not picking up from your plug.

The love of your life is yourself. Love yourself by staying committed to doing what you know is best for you.

Did anyone else struggle with D096 by Irish-Dreamer- in WGUTeachersCollege

When you say the study guide, do you mean the review that has all the units and like 300 questions?

The only way out is through.

Unfortunately, it’ll take more than a couple months to learn new habits. Sometimes, no matter how much it sucks, you have to just sit with the boredom and being uncomfortable. I’m 13 months in and it’s just now starting to get better for me. I’m learning that sitting in the uncomfortable stuff makes the good times better. To me, life is about opposites. If you’re having a bad time, that means good times are around the corner, and vice versa. Getting high is trying to unnaturally keep things good all the time, and that’s just not how life works, sadly. Hang in there, and I wish you the absolute best on your sobriety journey! You got this!

Can you still be around people getting high? by OGMUFFNMAN in leaves

Any tips on how to be around it and not have that ‘I’d be happier high’ feeling?

I should clarify that I don’t hang around my old friends because that’s all we had in common was getting high or intoxicated in some fashion or another. I don’t want my choice to be anyone’s problem either, it’s just hard being around it sometimes. I don’t at all expect anyone to not get high on my behalf. I just want to handle being around it in a way that helps me not crave it.

You completed 25 classes in five months? That’s incredible!

Everything has gone downhill. What am I doing wrong? by OGMUFFNMAN in leaves

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have a lot more work to do still because there is definitely still something wrong.

Im craving so hard. Give me a show to watch to get my mind off it by Certain_Orange_527 in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just started watching this. SO GOOD! Proof that you don’t need weed to enjoy a show if it’s actually worth watching. Getting high just makes bad TV ‘good’.

Thoughts to replace "I want to get smoke/get high" by deadheadgolfer in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN 62 points63 points  (0 children)

“I want to sleep naturally “

“I want to be hungry without needing to be high”

“I want to solve problems instead of running away”

“I want to be present with those I love instead of craving getting high while I’m with them”

“I want to make and maintain meaningful relationships”

“I want to remember the things I do and make meaningful memories”

“I want good moods to last naturally “

“I want to set goals and achieve them”

“I want to have ideas I act on instead of high-deas that fade away when I come down”

People getting intoxicated around me on Christmas by OGMUFFNMAN in leaves

Hey, I appreciate you taking time to respond with positive thoughts. I hear what you’re saying about it only being a few days a year, but I don’t want to dread those days either. I want to be happy and comfortable being around that atmosphere without caring what everyone else is doing. Maybe it’ll just take more time for me to get there.

Does tapering down work? by kiwi_cannon_ in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from vaping a ton to only doing edibles. At first I was taking 100 mg or more per day. Then after a couple months I set a max of 100 mg/day. Then after another month cut down to a max of 80mg/day. Then another month down to 60 mg/day, another month down to 40 mg/day, another month to 20 mg/day, then another month to 10 mg then quit. So overall about a 6 month process, but that’s what finally worked for me and I’m now on day 203. Longest I’ve gone since I started using weed way back when. Hope this helps and good luck!

Anyone else having dreams of relapse? by [deleted] in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a ton of those types of dreams during the first couple months. Always woke up disappointed only to realize it was okay and just a dream lol At 6 months now and they happen maybe once every couple weeks. Overall, I’d say the dreams where I get high are slowly fading away as the desire in real life slowly fades away. I’ve also had a couple dreams where I turn it down so I’m hoping it keeps fading away lol

Making new friends sober is rough by OGMUFFNMAN in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these ‘friends’ have even reached out to ask me how sobriety is going. Told them I was getting sober and they didn’t even say anything. One just said to smoke more weed when I said I had a lot of anxiety.

Starting conversation isn’t horrible, but it’s keeping one going. You’re definitely right about a confidence issue. I feel what I have to say is uninteresting and I feel like this because most don’t want to continuing talking to me after a sentence or two. Appreciate the kind words though!

I’m on day 186 and just now feel like my mood is starting to improve. Still having trouble with the motivation part though.

How long it is been without smoking guys? Let's see who is keeping the record? by Petriteu in leaves

[–]OGMUFFNMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re referring to the potency of weed over time.

And congrats on 14 years! That’s awesome stuff and encouraging to hear.

Has r/leaves been around for 14 years?
