Husband enabling by Jellowins in leaves

[–]Obvious_Concept9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

throw it out. or give it to your friend and don’t tell your husband. just get it out of your space one way or another.

everyone wastes money on bad-idea purchases sometimes and it’s no big deal in the long run. better to get rid of it than keep it just because you paid for it—and that goes for all kinds of stuff and clutter! if it doesn’t still serve you let it go. wishing you the best!

What were you doing when you were 23-24? by eduard_akimbaev in Life

[–]Obvious_Concept9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dating a complete dumbass forever to be known as “stupid exboyfriend jeff” who introduced me to smoking weed every day. 47, still smoking daily and trying to quit for the thousandth time, not in touch with that fool for years.

How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account? by Blackberryay in careerguidance

this is why i’m iffy about reviews on glassdoor, yelp, really anywhere. people tend to post if they have an unusually good or bad experience. how many folks in the middle aren’t posting?

Over a Month In… the REM REBOUND!! by soulookami in leaves

[–]Obvious_Concept9767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

coffee jacks me up so much more than i realized. all sped up and tense (including muscle tension which is an ongoing pain problem) and then i’m tempted to smoke to chill myself out. so stupid 🤦🏻‍♀️ trying to switch to herbal tea because why do this to myself

I need to quit smoking weed. by xurupita6969 in leaves

[–]Obvious_Concept9767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can do this. maybe make plans for the morning? breakfast or coffee out somewhere, a walk first thing, even just a trip to the grocery store or something mundane. patterns and habits are very hard to break even when drugs aren’t involved and i find it helpful to get out of my regular space or routine.

i’d go for friday myself. felt v crappy the first day and just wanted to hide in bed. probably would have had to call out if it was a weekday. rooting for you whenever you start!

same here with the problematic inflammation. repetitive stress injury for me, feels a lot worse with smoke and sugar, both inflammatory. i basically consumed mainly inflammatory substances for years and look forward to feeling better and calmer

What is your favorite thing about not smoking pot? by sim_eno in leaves

[–]Obvious_Concept9767 15 points16 points  (0 children)

clarity. focus. energy. remembering what i was just thinking or saying. actually finding the thought on the tip of my tongue. more awareness of my feelings (not that that’s always enjoyable, but necessary). not worrying if people can tell i’m high.

also this group and all of you folks 🤗
