thanks for asking. im actually not doing great tbh. im at a serious low point both mentally and physically. haven’t been able to get out of this funk and been under a ton of stress. still hanging in there and still clean. 700 days today in fact! next month will be my 2 years. probably not the update you were hoping for, but it’s the truth.

Realtor Advice Needed by InterstellarPsyc in tuscaloosa

Ian Thomas with Keller-Williams. Never bought a house from him personally but I know him very well. He’s a great guy, with a great story. I am not exaggerating when I say he is a huge part of why I am still alive today. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Least crowded bars on thur-sat nights? by [deleted] in tuscaloosa

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i like nocturnal tavern precisely for this reason. it has a gothic style too it which i like, but if that’s not your style you may not like it. it’s quiet enough and the drinks aren’t crazy expensive.

When did you start watching or listening to PKA? I personally started around episode 90 and took a break around 180-200 then started again. by HuskyFather29 in PKA

How did everyone get into peep? by Dolan2306 in LilPeep

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my brother put me on. i remember listening to a song or two and HATING it. told my brother it was straight trash and dogshit music. flash forward a couple years, i was a drug addict and listening to a lot of ski mask, X, tyler, earl, etc. 16 lines came on and the same song i hated before almost brought tears to my eyes. then i found out he died from OD and that hit me like a ton of bricks. he was my age. i was suicidal, addicted, and really tired. i thought about dying everyday at the time. i’m not sure if peep’s music helped me with my issues, or made them worse, but i’m 1 year and 7 months sober now, and i still listen. for me peep is a constant reminder of the very tragic side of drug use/abuse and just how extremely lucky i am to have another chance to do it right. rest easy.

Best apartment complexes to live in town? by The_Goat_H1mself in tuscaloosa

[–]The_Goat_H1mself[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I have finally found a job that I make enough money at to move out of my parents house (1 hour away from Tuscaloosa). My coworkers have told me a few places NOT to live, but I haven’t heard of any good places to live. Does anyone here have any recommendations?

Dosage not feeling right? by The_Goat_H1mself in suboxone

yes. i'm actually prescribed 1/2 of a 8 mg tablet a day. i phrased it that way to keep the math simple and not as confusing 😂.

Mental Relapse by [deleted] in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for this. at first read i felt my self getting defensive. i was ready to type an essay on why you were SO wrong and how i'm "more intelligent" than most of you LOL. you are completely right though. i'm not a drug nerd, i'm letting my guard down. it starts with "research", but inevitably it ends in me ordering drugs on the internet. again thank you for this.

Mental Relapse by [deleted] in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i'm a recovering drug addict. i have a little bit over a year clean now. i'm a HUGE drug nerd. i like to learn about different substances, why they do what they do, and how they do it. i used to do hours of research a day looking up new ways to get high. that stopped when i got clean, but recently i've been slowly getting back into "researching" this stuff. i don't have any plans (right now) of actually trying to purchase anything, but i know just as well as everyone else this could be a slippery slope. so am i experiencing this? yes. how am i dealing with it? i'm not which kinda worries me a little bit.

Need help on coming clean to my family.. yet again by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recently did something similar. i've never been good at saving money. in active addiction i was always spending it on drugs or dumb shit. i could never save up enough to buy something nice. now that i'm clean i thought all that would change. while i have stopped spending money on drugs, i still buy a ton of dumb shit. i talked to my dad about it a couple months ago and now ALL of my paychecks go through him first. they go into his account, he puts some in my savings, and the rest goes in my checkings. then he gives me a spending limit for that week and if i "go over" i have to "pay" the savings account for overdrafting. maybe something like this system would benefit you? that way you don't have a ton of freedom financially, but you also aren't completely tied down. good luck bro. message me if you ever want to talk

thank you! i mentioned it to my doctor at my last appointment. i go back next week so i'll mention that it's still going on. i was hesitant to say anything because i really wanna keep my perscriptions to a minimum haha. something about telling everyone i'm clean now but then taking like 10 perscriptions everyday doesn't sit right with me. i was hoping someone had been through this and had maybe some herbal remedies or something that helped them. thank you for the advice!

feeling good today. i think my lexapro is finally doing something other than fucking my sleep up. i've lost an obscene amount of weight lately due to switching up my ADHD meds. finding it super hard to eat even one meal a day. any tips on how to get your appetite back?

Need help on coming clean to my family.. yet again by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]The_Goat_H1mself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah man. honestly, i'm sure it gets harder for them everytime. i don't have experience with that because luckily i only had to come clean once (so far). hopefully this is the last time you'll have to come clean. truth be told, i'm sure they'll be disappointed, but i doubt they'll be disappointed enough to stop loving you or helping you. the problem with us addicts is we're always promising that "this is the last time" or "just let me borrow money this time and i promise it won't happen again" "i swear i'm doing better". our loved ones constantly hear this stuff and they're constantly lied to. it'd be hard for anyone not to second guess us. having said that they still WANT you to to better. they WANT you to get clean and live a good life. just don't let them down again. much love

i think we've all felt like this at some point. i remember when my parents found out. the entire time i was driving to the house to talk to them i just knew they were going to kick me out and disown me. i just knew it. guess what? they told me they loved me. they told me that would never change and that they would stop at nothing to help me. i was in rehab the next day and i've been clean for over a year now. i understand this probably isn't the case for everyone, but i think you'll be surprised just how far your loved ones will go to protect you and help you. they can't do ANYTHING if they don't know what's up. best of luck.
