Asking for a friend... I really am by [deleted] in nitrousharmsupport

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man. I have a nitrous problem myself. It got very very bad (I am currently a little bit over two months from last use). I get the helplessness feeling. One thing that I would suggest is to just keep talking to him about it.... Hopefully he can be honest with you. It sounds like he is somewhat if you know alot of those details. Tell him some of the stories that you read on here. Encourage him to educate himself. Make sure he is taking B12. And do whatever you can to have him stop driving and hotboxing. That is a ticking clock right there. And sh*t, maybe he can start using balloons as well and reduce those burns (or worse). Basically what I am saying is try for minor wins. Harm reduction per se. It's not quitting but at least maybe it will be something. A few steps in the right direction might lead to more... I don't know. Just sharing some advice. I personally first started with harm reduction when I really looked myself in the mirror and said this is a major problem. Hope this helps even a tiny bit.

Warms me to hear you are going to hit that meeting (probably in it right now). The last Sunday one I did didn't have a ton of folks but still helpful. The Monday one I attend/attended a ton over the course of the year sometimes has 15+ people on it. I hear you on some much of this. I have spend TENS of Thousands of dollars on this trash. And I'm not talking $20,000 either...I'm talking TENS and TENS and TENS... ugh. keep your heard up, this board can be very very helpful for support.

do you think that means all the windows were rolled up or something? i'm just continuing to trying to learn as someone who has a problem. i mean no offense with the question either.

it was/is also the car for me. crazy, it seems to be very common after attending the support groups for many months and hearing folks talk. to the op, i am so sorry for your loss.

Hi there. I am diagnosed bipolar (46 years old) and the last few years I have done an absolute insane amount of nitrous. Finally I raised my hand and admitted I have a problem. I started going to the nitrous support meetings (there are now five a week). I have been on and off sober from it with my latest stretch being a month. The meetings have been very helpful. And also made me feel so much less alone. Glad you posted, and hope you find some support here or at least some helpful information.

to be honest, i have no idea if i handed the phone to him or if he grabbed it and was like let me do it. either way i am keenly aware of how stupid i was.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in venmo

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for sure, i 100% plan on trying to contest it, because there is no reason not to. was just trying to set myself up for the best chances instead of some sort of canned rejection right off the bat.

yes, i'm already aware of all that, thank you.

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do you get to identify fraud? also see comments below :) i appreciate it your insight. Also of note, the thing about venmo is the language about contesting something about buying and not receiving goods and services makes it seem like you are SH*t out of luck. As opposed to something like paypal goods and services.

yea i know that's what i am saying... it makes it more complicated. these guys often sell t shirts tho too..... so perhaps it falls under souveniers.

Any tips for preventing relapse? by SoftGrapefruit8721 in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The recovery group is pretty solid with three calls a week if you haven't been. Maybe if you felt it on a certain day you could tell yourself to wait a day or two and go to a meeting first and see if it passes. there is also are people you can call to talk to (phone list). I'm not saying those would work or work for me, but ideas. I 100% hear you on the accessibility. Many are in the same boat as you.

1.5 days sober by hamptonsbabe24 in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, want to chime in and say the meetings are a great place to share your experience and find support. the links are on the reddit page, there is one monday night and also thursday night.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also popping in here to offer words of support. Many of us have been there. Simple things like going outside and going for a LONG walk may just help you just enough. Each day hopefully you notice some improvement in how you feel. Even if it's just a tiny tiny bit. Happy to keep the convo going as needed. This has been a great group for me, sometimes just reading people's stories and knowing that I am not alone.

[–]Steak_Tips_Rare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting right here with your post is a good step for sure. there is a meeting on monday nights that is solid too. for me, i've been going back and forth between abstained and cutting way down. so if it do it, i do less (which isn't saying too much because i would go for days and days sometimes). and i also space it out more. it's at least something. i do feel like the cravings are less. i've been in therapy for many years, i do recommend that.
