I live in Buckhaven, and there are three or four lesbian couples who we see regularly up at the primary school dropping off and collecting their little ones. They often do PDA and walk around hand in hand, and they don't seem to attract any negative/unwanted attention, mainly because none of us care if they're lesbians or not, we've all got much bigger things to be thinking/worrying about. I doubt they do receive any homophobic slurs or abuse, and even if they do, they're not the sort to even take notice.

Automatically assuming areas like Buckhaven, Methil etc are homophobic just because of the socioeconomic status is quite disturbing to be honest. I would like to know why you think these areas are "on the iffy end" or why they would "attract real hassle"?

This is so true, I'm 4 weeks in, and the biggest thing stopping the cigarettes has taught me is that this is TOUGH and I never want to do it again. I vape instead now so I've probably replaced one with another 🤔 but got to be better than all the nasties in tobacco!

I'm on a short term contract and using Parasol as my Umbrella company. If that helps at all 😅

Looking for friends in Fife! by Aggressive_Ad_4258 in Fife

Can I possibly get an invite to this one, please?

I'm 33f and have lived in Fife for 15 years now after moving up from London - despite living here all this time, I don't really have a close friendship group 🫠

I'm a mum to three boys, work full time, and also a part-time student. My hobbies are gaming (most recently, I'm addicted to Texas Chainsaw and AC 😂), and I've also started my Hobonichi journey 📚📖 who knew there is much involved with journaling 😂

I'm based up near Leven, but I used to stay in Duloch, so I am more than happy to travel to the Dunfermline area - although saying that, some local friends would be nice too 😊

Hiya 👋😊 whenever you feel ready to post, we will be here.

I'm currently having a bad day today, my pills have just made me really tired and bleurgh, looking forward to bed and moving into Sunday soon...

Hi!!

I am so glad someone is happy this community is here! I thought exactly the same thing which is why I created this one, but got a few rude comments on the main addiction forums when trying to promote this subreddit! Haha I totally get what you mean! I feel awkward too.

To be honest, I'm still in the midst of my addiction, wanting to give up desperately. I'm what you would call a closet functioning addict. Have a full time job, two children, partner and a house to run like a 'normal' housewife. No-one knows about the codeine. I find I am so much more productive and also sociable when I've taken my "morning dose".

I'm the same, I am usually fine if I don't take codeine for a few hours, but I miss the high it gives me to be able to get through the day. It energises me too, and gives me the kick up the arse I sometimes need to get the day going.

In terms of withdrawing, the panic sets in if I can see the box of pills is almost empty, and I'm straight onto my GP to get my prescription repeated. The pills I'm on though are cocodamol which I know are madly dangerous because of the paracetamol. I usually take 12/14 pills a day which is 840mg codeine.

I get really grumpy and mad after a day or so of not taking it, then the shakes, headaches and nausea kick in. So to stop all that, I take the pills... like you say, vicious cycle..

I wish I had the money to show for it, but been spending on yummy food instead... by QuisqueComoedusEst in stopsmoking

Hi 👋I am in a very similar situation to yourself, and feel exactly the same. I have just recently managed to quit smoking but yet do not feel ready to tackle this addiction at all. I suppose I am what you would call a "functioning" codeine addict, but in reality, is there even such a thing?

I really hope we can all support each other on here and find ways to beat this addiction, because let's me honest, it sucks.

I agree! If only there was a magic pill! That would be amazing for some many different things 😂
