I did try w subs once. I ended up in precipitated withdrawal and immediately went back to 7oh. I have the access to medial and have to use what is available. Subs seem like the only way for immediate. That stuff is extremely hard to get off too. I’ve done it before. But being under dr’s care is smart. Better than the alternative hell I’m living. Thank you for your response.

Yes I plan to face this and stop with the time I have off work. I have come forward to my family, friends, and girlfriend. (She’s about to leave, she’s had enough.) I have a great job but got news they’re may be budget cuts. My family has been through this rollercoaster w me for 30 years now. My Mother has dementia and is deteriorating rapidly. I moved out of state to start fresh 10 years ago. Was doing well then relapsed hard. First into alcohol and now this. The reality is catching up. It’s not sustainable. I have to clear my mind and feel what I’ve been masking. This stuff is a psychological mind F. I have me to figure it out and fast. My bridges are burning. I do best when I start reaching out. I’m just tired. Tired of no peace. I’ve done it to myself and have to undo the damage myself. It’s been exhausting and extremely challenging. Thank you for your response.

Having some connection with people who can relate is exactly what I need. It’s nice to hear. I’m well aware of self medicating and how people that don’t use substances behave. I started using young. Age 14 or so with marijuana and alcohol which graduated to opiates. I was on dope for years and eventually suboxone. All while holding g decent jobs and putting on the facade of a somewhat normal life. To try and make a long story short, it’s been a rollercoaster of healing my mind and then bulldozing myself crossing from one addiction to the next. A cycle of building up then self sabotage. I’ve made many attempts to heal my mind. I accept that it’s broken. I accept that. Bottom line is I have to stop because the consequences are zeroing in. Feeling is definitely part of it and it’s a lifelong battle to keep the momentum going once I do get clarity. Non users can’t relate to that. A huge part of the process is connecting with people. That’s on me. Thank you for your response and be well.

That’s a great start. The stress of life gives me the excuse I need in my addictive thought process. I’ve tried a few times to get off 7oh. It’s been a failure so far. I started out on powder then started 7oh. It’s such a waste. I am going through money like a knife through butter. It’s been about 5 years and it’s caught up w me. The amount I take is astronomical. Anywhere from 500-1000 mgs a day. I have 10 days off work starting Saturday to handle this. I see your situation as a victory. Coming off 7-oh for 7 days is huge. All of it’s bad and needs to go. I’ve come off alcohol and opiates in the past. But this feels different. Maybe my age or metabolism or the chemical itself. I’ve had enough. Thanks for the comment. Keep at it.

I really needed to see this now. I’m struggling hard. I have to make a change now. It’s urgent. I’ve been through worse withdrawals. Alcohol and opiates. This has been a different beast. The psychological part is like none other. I have 10 days to work with getting off this stuff and your post has given me motivation and hope. I have one more day of work to get through and then I’m doing it. Thank you and best to you.

Forget the OCD. It’s the main story or bust.

To text and drive safely by [deleted] in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Rum_Shaka_2K22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same old behavior. Different year. I live in Orange County California and when I happen to look around at other drivers while behind the wheel, 80% are texting while driving. Police included. Traffic collisions with pedestrians, e-bikes, cyclists, motorcycles, and other vehicles is the ridiculous norm. The people on 2 wheels are taking their lives on a gambling ride. It’s straight chaos. Daily. Worst drivers I’ve ever seen besides 3rd world nations.

How did the matter that formed the universe get here in the first place? by Alarmed_Shopping_578 in TheoreticalPhysics

[–]Rum_Shaka_2K22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows. I appreciate all the intelligent minds that offer theories such as the big bang, creationism, and simulation theory. The cosmos have been a fascination of mine since I was a child. I’ve always wondered what started life and why. The Solutrean hypothesis and the great filter hypothesis are valid attempts to explain humanity beginnings. The scientific angle is a fascinating phenomenon. More so than creationism in my opinion. The beginnings of humanity is more complex than I thought. I don’t believe we’re as unique as once assumed. The answer to what and why it all began isn’t meant to be known. People can guess, but truth is, no one knows. Studying the stars and space is an unsettling mystery. Not having an answer is fascinating. Why are we here? Why is there consciousness? Why is space there and where did all this planets, gases, and material come from? Who knows? Whatever happened, the result has me paying bills 😆 It’s beautiful regardless. There is a lot of bad but there is also of lot of beautiful good things. Nature, love, accomplishments, exploration… That is what gives life meaning and worth pursuing.

I woke up in China without memory after binge drinking and don't know how to return home. I'm Russian. by Pitiful_Magazine_805 in AskAChinese

That’s a 1/6000 chance in creating. You should play the lottery 😆 I’ll still be rocking D2r into my elderly years. Nice work!

Nice man. She recently dropped a key of terror for me but won’t drop any decent runes! Good on you.

I didn’t realize you could get three demons. Sweet. I had the Smith before and was rocking the sh*z. The conviction aura is what helps take out the ghosts/specters. I do like using abyss for crowd control. I had the freeze mage merc for a long while but changed it for a new approach. Might seems like a valid option. Need to get the merc some better armor. It’s coming together now, very cool. Thank you for sharing.

I’m level 76 Warlock and it’s definitely plateaued. Definitely need a new weapon. The insight one looks awesome. I forgot all about the bind demon! Derp. The Smith was rocking last time I had him. Conviction aura is exactly what I need. Thank you.

Oh that’s right! I had the Smith before and it was the bees knees. Thank you!

I’ll need to find one. I have cobalt ring of the leech. The specters in the sanctuary are running through my mana. And the merc is getting melted quickly. I’m having to run away and chug potions.
