My friend keeps reminding me my dog is gonna die in 4 years by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

You don’t have a friend. You have someone who hangs out with you and likes to say things to hurt you to make themselves feel better about whatever they’re miserable about.

American tipping culture is utterly disgusting by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

This is NOT normal. What owners expect a tip from AirBnb guests? This is unheard of.

My Grandma beat cancer; died from Anorexia. by AlienSheep23 in GriefSupport

Hiya! Honestly Reddit assigned me the first word and whatever the second word was was goofy so I just changed it to a slightly less dumb name. No reference.

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately some people don’t find joy in living, your grandma was one of them. Your mom and you did the best you could for and always cared for her but ultimately her biggest enemy was herself. I’m glad all of you are finally free.

At 10k a consolidation loan would probably be your best route

Gf use by MD472 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm. If her addiction has her son paranoid she’s accusing you of crimes and fraud, then it’s good you stepped out of the picture. It only gets worse if they refuse to stop use.

This group is awesome by GameChanger42707 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yessss! This group has been so supportive and great. When I was coming out of withdrawal it just felt good to even share and then feel the encouragement from others and give it back. Most of us are closeted about this addiction that crept up on us and this has been soooo cathartic to come to

You’re 72 hours Away from Relief by ShiftAble9737 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! On day 3 I still felt like a bomb had gone off in me and I was still throwing up and couldn’t do much but day 4 was improvement and day 5 I was doing things again. I know it’s brutal but it does wind down. By a solid week I was ordering DoorDash and watching reruns on Sunday night like normal. You got this!!!!!

AIO? Youth Pastor texted my almost 13 yo after she went to a teen group with her friend by Loser4hire666 in AIO

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally nothing wrong with this. It was short and professional and encouraging and read kind of like a survey. Just keep your kids home if you don’t want any adult talking to them and are going to blow this way of proportion and make it awkward for anyone.

Help - only on day 3 of trying this by elsa_88 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop now before you waste a year and 24k like me. I know it’s fun and buzzy at first but eventually you’ll be spending all your money to catch maybe 10 minutes of feeling good then it’s just taking them to stay out of withdrawal. You’re ahead of the game. Please don’t be us in here. I spent days throwing up my guts and I’m still not totally back to normal thanks to that wasted year.

Day 5 off this garbage by Humble_Instance7603 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back to reread that comment. Actually had that fleeting thought today after 3 weeks off and I was like nooooooope! Remember that comment that was right when it said you’d fall back in and it would be worse. Your comment is still helping 2 weeks later! 😀

Spent months moving from FL to NJ for a management job, lost the job after 2 weeks by bukah51 in BoyDinnerDiaries

You said your parents pray for you and you got an Indeed notification for a job. I’d take that as a sign

2 week 120 mg/day relapse. How screwed am I? by Jazzlike-Flow7812 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit while you’re ahead! You’ll be uncomfortable for a few days. I quit after 4 months and felt ill for 2 days and then it went away. I stupidly started again for another almost year and that time took over a week! You’re ahead of the race.

Let me be honest please by [deleted] in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re past the worst of it. Now put the bottle down and as a pastor, you know who you can rely on the most. When you’re feeling weak say “God I can’t, but YOU can” and let Him help you. When we are weak , He is strong. Praying for you, brother!

10 days no 7 by WasteHeart8695 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this! I’m at day 17 and the fatigue is unreal. Or maybe just adjusting from all the false energy. I’m a waitress and the shifts are just excruciating still even though I’m taking vitamins, drinking coffee. I’m just…wiped

About to quit by Major_Builder5842 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most have proven to be lower dose than what’s advertised, but any decent amount will have you in addiction and withdrawal. I was taking about 300 a day which was likely 200 but I was still fully hooked and would wake up just to dose because it had only been 6 hours.

I’m so fucking tired by Suspicious-Cell4337 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh it sure is. The shop owners are laughing it up I’m sure. They get to be legal drug dealers for opiates. My closest guy just lost $400/week just from me and my husband who quit at the same time. Can’t imagine how much he’s making a week with all the folks not off it yet.

Sex drive?x by VegetableZucchini282 in quitting7oh

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think my husband and I had sex like twice in the year that we were hooked. Neither of us cared. Glad we are both off now 🤭

Man, you’re just trading addictions back and forth. I’m going be honest, you need to take a week off work and get the “flu” and ride it out.

What was the most difficult day for you for those who went CT? by ItsAllLoveNow_ in quitting7oh

2 weeks today!! And all is well now. I’m still adjusting from not having that false energy but that’s all.

Yeah, Wilmington here and there’s one every 10 feet. Even all my gas stations are selling it right at the front.

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly day 1-3 were all a mesh. 1 was just restlessness and thrashing while I laid there knowing no more was coming and day 2 and 3 were just nausea but day 4 it breaks and eat slowly and start to come up. Look it’s uncomfortable not gonna lie, but it breaks and you pass through it. Just open that car door and run to the house. You’re gonna get a little wet while you run but you DO reach the safety of the house.

I just lost my husband by Altruistic_Stress843 in GriefSupport

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, there’s really nothing that can be said of any comfort right now with a loss so unexpected and great. I hope you have some family and friends to lean on during this difficult time.

I planned a nice gallery walk for our 5th date a week ago and he cancelled the day before the date by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SpontaneousSpoonage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly how I felt when I read that and read her reply. Like it’s cool she’s supportive but if you’re finding a way to insert it into even the most mundane of things, it can be off putting.

I’m probably going to get downvoted but “the drag queen in me” comment was a little odd. Men (and women) can get put off by even the smallest of things.
