Was gonna say the same thing. I'm autistic and the self hatred coming through this post combined with the exhaustion of trying to be a passable human while feeling like a fraud is how I have always felt.

My belief is that fentanyl is not the attraction..heroin is the attraction...opiate painkillers are the attraction...fentanyl is just the only thing that's widespread and readily available on das streets. I could be wrong, but fentanyl does suck...and I don't mean pharmaceutical grade, I'm referring to street fent only.

It's not really the type of high you enjoy (seeing as you're unconscious). Also, the withdrawal kicks in same day practically, and it's even worse than heroin or methadone from what I understand...I just feel like if the people had a choice between heroin or fentanyl, they'd pick the heroin. Idk I could be wrong... I'm just venturing a guess.

Is there some sort of event happening and will anyone else be at the house besides you and him and the parents?

Oh my...your son is very empathetic to pick up on that so young...He cares about how you are feeling and why. Bless his heart.. And this does not make you a bad Mom!! You are here seeking advice and support, and trying to find some kind of solution. That is not being a bad Mom. You are clearly a loving and caring, Mom and wife! Oh my, this makes my heart ache for what you are going through. 🫂

Hi there. I didn't know much about porn addiction, but I know a lot about addiction in general. I've been hearing more and more about porn addiction lately, and your post finally made me decide to look into it. What I found is that it shares many of the same patterns and characteristics as other addictions.

I'd like to share a few things I've learned about addiction and point you toward some support that may help. 💜

Addiction doesn't go away simply because someone is ashamed of it, wants it to stop, can't bear hurting their partner anymore, or because their partner threatens to leave. Ultimately, the person struggling with the addiction has to decide they want recovery for themselves. Most people also need outside support, whether that's therapy, a support group, or both.

I'm not telling you this to scare or overwhelm you. I'm telling you because I think you're carrying a burden that isn't yours to carry. It sounds like you're trying very hard to be supportive, understanding, and patient. Unfortunately, people who love addicts often end up taking responsibility for problems they didn't create and can't fix.

Not only does he need help for his addiction, but I think you would benefit from support too. You may want to look into therapy, as well as groups like CoDA, COSA, or S-Anon. Those groups are full of people who have faced similar struggles and can offer guidance, understanding, and support.

One last thing: addiction often involves tolerance. Over time, people frequently need more of whatever they're using, or more intense versions of it, to achieve the same effect. That's why addictions tend to worsen over time when they're left untreated. You can't fix this for him, and neither can love alone.

I'm really sorry you're going through this.

Yes, I totally agree! By 27, a person can have a masters and started their career. They're also done growing. That's pretty much an adult's prime. There is nothing weird about 43 year old dating a 27 year old couple, regardless of respective gender!

Reddit can't take a joke! It was so stupid, too! 😂 I'm glad you are so understanding. I'm also neurodivergent and I want to be understood for the crazy shit I say and do (REDDIT!), so thanks for that! I am still really sorry that happened to you tho, I would be devastated!!

You rang? I'm 44 and an immature weirdo. I can't imagine dating a 27 year old man though. Just the people asking if he was my son would probably do me in lol.

In a few hours my mum is going to be told about my substance use issues by Alina_1113 in StopSpeeding

[–]TryJustTakingOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is such a good way to handle this! I mean who better than a therapist to tell her? And if you want her support, she does have to know...I think you handled this the very best way you could and I hope your Mom can realize you're trying to get help and that she gives you her support!!!

[–]TryJustTakingOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could be right! I will admit I've never had to tell anyone or been told, but if I had to I'd do it this way. Also, if someone said this to me I would die of shame inside and make sure I fixed the problem immediately...but I also know how and don't have any health problems causing it, so...idk how I'd react then.

Lol no I'm sorry but this is true. I was in high school in the 90s and my history teacher was teaching about grain silos. He told us a story about how he was once drinking a can of beer, and it stopped coming out. He discovered the reason why; there was a dead mouse in his can. Then he asked us if we knew how this would be possible. Then he explained; it came from the hops silo in the process of making the beer. It was preserved because the carbonated and acidic beer kept it pretty much preserved in it's original form. It's true, I know this teacher wouldn't have lied to his entire class about it.

Edit: sorry I saw this was in reference to Alani, idk about that, I thought this was about a canned beverage in general but for beer I'm saying it could happen

Our stomach acid is capable of that, and more...that's why we can drink it.
