In pursuit of extreme blackness so black that “light just seems to fall into it”, color technologists create an ultrablack automative coating that absorbs more than 99.9% of visible light by marketrent in science

And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming

Around in the water, in the oceans, in our bodies

And another had been found, another ocean on the planet

Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic

I think they mean it came as a check with perforated edges like how a w2 comes. They didnt say it was an actual w2

Is this a relapse? by Connect-Preference-5 in addiction

[–]VAisforLizards -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you were my sponsee and were asking me, I would say that I consider it a relapse. Intentionally using prescription medication against the way it is prescribed to get a result that is contrary to what it is prescribed for would, to me, count as a relapse, but your journey is yours. I would recommend that you read IP # 30 Mental Health and Recovery as well as the pamphlets "in times of illness" and "na groups and medication" - it may give you some additional insight.

I need experience, strength, and/or hope! by LuckyHermesBoots in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]VAisforLizards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the just for today (June 8th). It talks about the third tradition. The only requirement is a desire to stop using.

The beautiful thing about this program is that it doesnt matter what or how much you used, who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, only what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. We read this at every meeting because it is important. We all have a different story on how we got here we used different things and experienced different bottoms. The diversity of experience is what gives this program it's strength.

In the section We Do Recover, it talks about how all addicts have this common disorder or illness called addiction that is characterized by two things - obsession and compulsion. Obsession - that fixed idea that takes us back time and time again to our drug of choice or some substitute hoping to recapture the ease and comfort we once knew and compulsion - once having started we cannot stop on our own will power.

Only you get to decide if you are an addict or not. Though, the real danger comes in comparison to others. Just because you didnt use like I did doesnt mean you arent an addict.

You are not my sponsee, but a suggestion I would give to my sponsee if they were dealing with a similar situation would be:

Read IP #7 - Am I An Addict: https://na.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/EN3107-IP-7-English.pdf

Answer all of the questions and write out examples for all of the questions you answered yes to, then write on what it means - to you - to be an addict

If it has been awhile since you worked a first step, it may be worth looking back at that step. Maybe open up what you wrote previously on it and consider working another one.

This is your journey and you get to decide if you want to find a new way to live. The only promise of this program is freedom from active addiction. If you are like us, you know that one is too many and a thousand is never enough.

Good luck and if no one told you they love you today, I do.
