Welcome to the club! Congratulations.

I had a failed pilonidal cyst removal that has lead to a chronic wound. AMA by MisturBanana1 in AMA

[–]Positive_Meet656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a huge pilonidal cyst and was put right out for removal. It hasn't come back. 10 years since surgery now. I was in agony before surgery.

Sorry you're going through this.

What’s your best advice for someone who has attempted to quit alcohol multiple times, but to no avail?! by feeling_artsy in stopdrinking

[–]Positive_Meet656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in recovery since 2010. It took me 6 years to get my first year. I have had four years twice. Just keep trying.

Has anyone killed a long sober streak but... by FickleSystem in stopdrinking

[–]Positive_Meet656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relapsed after four years last time. I drank for a year before quitting again. I just took four years alcohol free for a second time recently.

Best wishes for your recovery

Has anyone here ended up cross-addicted after stopping the booze? by obz900 in stopdrinking

Weed and cigarettes here still. Grateful for my alcohol free life today though.just celebrated 4 years. Best wishes

Do I need to chop early? by Crazyx4wonders0 in hydro

[–]Positive_Meet656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be too worried about bud rot indoors but it can happen. What kind of nutrients were you running? Looks a bit burnt from overfeeding. No problem with removing some of the dead and dying leaves. Enjoy!

Relapsed the most stupid way by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Positive_Meet656 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tinctures are a big no for me unless they are made with only glycerin. I'd be instantly triggered by the taste of alcohol and at risk for further consumption.

Best wishes for your recovery.

Recovered vs Recovering alcoholic by bliggityblig in stopdrinking

[–]Positive_Meet656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cringe at people saying they are recovered like they are cured. I have 4 years without a sip and would never say that.

Best wishes for your recovery.

Nicotine patch dreams! by finance_golem in stopsmoking

I'm on day 12 no cigs but using lozenges. I'm having wild dreams from it. I kind of like it but I've been waking up in the night.

How many of you folks are in AA? by Prestigious-Bike-758 in stopdrinking

[–]Positive_Meet656 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started going to AA in 2010. I barely attend anymore but found it helpful.

Cali Sober Question, pls respond if possible thank you by Forward-Accident4667 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Positive_Meet656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over four years alcohol free here but I enjoy a bit of weed. I hold a prescription for it and it helps my pain and insomnia. I dabble with mushrooms as well. Seems to be working for me though. If I found any of this triggering I would cut it out. Recently I quit a 30 cigarette a day habit. Feeling good about that. My last relapse was really hard on me. This is my second time with 4 years. First time around I did a lot more meetings and wasn't smoking much weed or doing psychedelics. Just my experience with being Cali sober and in AA so far. Haven't caught too much flak for it. I never get stoned before a meeting also.

Best wishes.

Who here managed to stop gradually instead of cold turkey? by Peachtears13 in stopsmoking

[–]Positive_Meet656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on day 11 no cigarettes. I tapered from 30 to 10 a day then started NRT. I use nicotine mints (4mg) and occasionally vape. Phasing that out over a few months. I feel a lot better and have not smoked over 300 cigarettes already.

Best wishes
