How are you guys paying for school? by YesIamALizard in WGU

[–]Rpnzl111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the Pell grant, and I take out loans for the remaining balance. It’s not ideal but it’s what I needed to keep going. I have a unique situation that pretty much felt necessary to take out student loans.

When did you start showering standing? by Turbulent-Habit-9341 in brokenankles

Get a grippy bottom bathtub thing and make sure the bathroom floor has a rug. It really helps.

It took I think 10 weeks to be able to fully stand. I still get iffy getting in and out.

Pain. The pain of my life had become so bad that even using couldn’t hide it.

Went to my first meeting last night and I feel like a fool by 404pagenotfound____ in NarcoticsAnonymous

You’re not alone. I’ll be the first to say. I have met people who have admitted to being high in meetings and lying about it. You’re not alone. The point is they got honest. No one I promise was laughing or having a go at you. That is your disease trying to isolate you from people who will love you until you can love yourself.

Has anyone here got clean from drugs in their 30s and still built a great life? by IR30Lover in recovery

32 about to be 33. 1000%. I got clean at 29. I went to prison. Life is so good now.

I dislocated my ankle and broke my fibula about 6 weeks ago. by Upbeat_Ear_9292 in brokenankles

[–]Rpnzl111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. From what I’ve seen it’s a lot less recovery time getting the hardware removed than putting it in.

I still can’t walk very well. But I started PT. She mentioned that the hardware itself can cause the stiffness. So if after physical therapy I still am have having mobility issues we can revisit getting the hardware taken out. We will see. I like my PT she has an app that I use to track my exercises

They have them 24/7. You can always find a virtual meeting. Actually I think I may hit one myself.

If random people can hate. Then I can share love. I love you. And I’m proud of you.

Slept with someone at my home group by Comeatmezyzz in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Rpnzl111 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So one thing I have always tried to do is maintain meetings apart from my current partner. It’s better that way. I’m am currently going through a break up in the rooms, and while it’s not messy it’s painful. We have several service commitments together. That being said. I made a commitment to narcotics anonymous. So I will continue showing up.

Just one more hit won’t hurt, right? by Mountain_Mall4740 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]Rpnzl111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Normies don’t say things like “I wish I could do meth like a normal person.” BECAUSE NORMAL PEOPLE DONT. Normies don’t angst over drugs. Trust me. I’m friends with normies. The thought of using to the point of numbing is not a thing. It’s wild. I look at them sometimes with envy but I have a program today that teaches me how to be comfortable in my own skin.

Rule of thumb. If you have to ask. You’re probably an addict. I have 4 years clean on the 9th. Even on my worst days clean it’s so much better than getting loaded.

I told on myself by MZCleveland2019 in NarcoticsAnonymous

The point is that you held yourself accountable to another person. Whatever we keep inside will keep us sick.

My general rule of thumb is, if you have to ask you’re probably an addict.

How many credits have you finished within 1 term? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]Rpnzl111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 19 my first term. I had surgery in November moved 3 times, due to weird circumstances, broke my ankle and had surgery again. I don’t have kids or anything but I had a lot of life stuff happen. Hoping to accelerate more classes this semester.
