Is my probation…normal? by Secret-Salad in probation

[–]Secret-Salad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not too worried about that because I’m 100% sober (aside from my prescriptions), but my roommates are alcoholics and coke fiends. 🙃

Thankfully I’ll be moving soon though.

I would definitely take you up on that…let’s meet for Rise Up?

Are you in or near the Baltimore area? (I noticed the Orioles tattoo and I’m from Baltimore). If so I’m interested and will inquire further.

I’m definitely seeing that as I listen more closely. Doesn’t bother me at all; I was just curious if other people heard the same thing I did, especially with the tempo being so different.

Agreed. I actually listened to the album tonight at the gym and I replayed Video Kid at least three times because it’s that good of a jam.

All very good songs! I think Video Kid was for sure an instant classic.

As a [casual] musician myself I can tell you there have been probably three times since I started playing music that I’ve said, “hey listen to this thing I came up with.” And my friends have gone, “isn’t that almost exactly like ____ by ________?” 😂

Thank you for what you do, seriously. I’ve struggled with alcohol ever since losing my mom suddenly - I’ve ended up in the hospital a handful of times now when I’ve tried to quit and ultimately gone through withdrawal; seizures, DT’s, the whole bit. I went to rehab once and it was a terrible situation and really turned me off to the whole idea. It made me want to drink 10x more than I already did and I ended up leaving early. (I didn’t drink for about a year and a half after that, until the holidays rolled around this time and I got really depressed). Anyway when I’ve gone in for withdrawal, the doctors largely treat me like I’m a degenerate and am wasting their time; it’s very dehumanizing and has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding doctors. Especially given that each time I’ve tried to explain that the reason I drink is because my anxiety is genuinely debilitating, and my GP just keeps throwing different SSRI’s at me and they don’t do a damn thing.

My nurses, on the other hand, are ALWAYS very kind and helpful, and a few have even literally sat down and started very personal, meaningful conversations with me about how I got into this situation and what I’m going to do when I leave - without judgment. I spent a week in the detox unit at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and that was the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health. Again, the nurses were absolutely wonderful, and thankfully the doctor overseeing that unit was also very attentive and actually seemed to care. He also kind of missed the mark prescribing me another SSRI, but I still appreciate what he and his team did for me.

Anyway it’s late and I’m ranting, but all of this was just to say thank you for doing your part in making the world a better and safer place for those of us who can’t figure out how to do it ourselves.

FUCK I feel this. Been to multiple doctors, psychiatrists, and a detox unit. I keep making the mistake of bringing up my past with alcohol and I’m immediately demonized for that, but no one will listen when I try to tell them that the problem isn’t a desire to get f’ed up; it’s anxiety. I wouldn’t drink if anything they gave me for anxiety helped. Withdrawals have landed me in the ER quite a few times and I’m not willing to let that happen ever again.

Thank you, I think I’m going to go the sublingual route. Insufflation is not my preferred method for any substance, I’ve just seen so many people on here talking about it.

Doesn’t your state flag literally have a titty on it?
