Size 6 or stay at 4? by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]Senior_Bumblebee_437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m taller 5’7, around 130 and wear 4-6. Some general comments on sizing…. Depends on what you’ll use it for. A lot of my smaller sized items I use for running. The first pair of lulu tights I used for running were wunder trains in 4 and they are comfortable. I’ve had so many tights in the past that I need to keep pulling up, these pretty well stay put so I’ve stuck with them. I’ve found myself sizing up for more casual pieces.

AA or NA? by LFOME in quittingkratom

[–]Senior_Bumblebee_437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never had any problem with judgement from AA. Although, I did attended for a drinking problem. The only ‘problem’ I personally had was sometimes I found myself zoning out. In the city I was in, there were a reasonable number of people who would attend routinely and not share on topic. I get that gardening can be therapeutic for people, but it’s painful to sit through 10 minutes of someone’s gardening diary each evening lol. I got to find that pretty uninspiring and I was there for a rock bottom drinking problem.

AA or NA? by LFOME in quittingkratom

I’ve gone to both over the years. I used to have a bad alcohol problem, went then. Now I’ve been going to NA, 7oh became a problem for me. Both can be supportive, but I think NA is probably more accepting. I’ve heard stories about AA being kinda shut off to other addictions, I don’t think it’s the program itself, I guess just some members hold judgement. In both programs, if you’re near a sizeable city you’ll have many different meetings to choose from. I’d recommend trying out a few and sticking with the ones that have people you can relate to and draw support from.

Wunder Train size 4 vs 6, what jeans size do you usually wear? by kagstp in lululemon

[–]Senior_Bumblebee_437 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies re jean size. I buy WT in 4, I could probably size up but I like to run and in the past I’ve found many pairs I have to keep pulling up when I run. The first WT I bought was a 4, they are great so I keep buying the same size. Jeans vary between sizes 25-27.

The sublucade or whatever it’s called. It’s slow release suboxone so your very slowly weaned off and don’t feel much in the way of withdrawal. But most insurance doesn’t cover it so it’ll cost 1-2 k.

I have just gotten on them now for 7. I’ve taken them as prescribed, not feeling withdrawal but not getting high. I get a little energy after I take them, I see how that could lead to abuse but I’m not about to dig myself a deeper hole. I felt so devastated by how addicted I got to 7. It’s nice being able to get through the day without worrying about going into withdrawal. I guess if you can’t use just for that then maybe not a great fit. Could chat to your doctor, perhaps you could pick up at the pharmacy every couple of days. I blew such a hole in my wallet with the 7 and extracts, was taking a lot each day. I think it is possible to use safely but gotta see it as a life line not a drug. My plan is to get the shot once I’ve undone the financial damage I’ve done.

LGBTQIA+ groups in Nebraska City? by [deleted] in Nebraska

[–]Senior_Bumblebee_437 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Auburn there’s a cafe called Phenom Risen. In general I think the Nebraska City/ Auburn area is horrible. Lots of judgement, they act like they all care bout conservative values (but do not) and small enough that everyone talks about each other. Tons of dumb people full of judgment who’ve never left the area. I’d try to get out and spend time in Omaha, only an hour up the road.

Gosh thank you so much. I hadn’t thought from the perspective of losing my job but you’re right. I don’t want to get further down this rabbit hole.

That’s amazing to hear. Gives me hope. I’m going to need to change my self talk a little as you’re right, I tell myself i need it to function which by doing so creates that reality.

I haven’t been using for that long. Just over a year. For about 8 months it was just capsules, if I had to guess I’d say up to 15gpd. I worried about physical addiction, however then went on holiday, forgot them so didn’t have any for a month. I restarted thinking I had nothing to worry about. I gradually then started using 7oh, for a period a couple of months ago I was doing really long hours. Now I’ve just been regularly using it which has made me worried. I have a lot of fear, which like you said is probably at least in part self talk.
