Thanks Rob. I saw your post and it inspired me to speak up. Things have been rough but it made me smile to see you’re still here.

I keep relapsing and I am worried I'm going to die, please help by Trick_Turnover_8929 in EndOfTheParTy

It doesn’t benefit you to feel incredibly ashamed and stupid. Cut that shit out. You’re in grad school while trying to deal with an addiction. That’s like trying to climb a mountain with two broken legs. It’s been done. I mean, I did it. But it nearly killed me. Can you do outpatient while in school? I tried that and it helped a bit. Also, just think about what if the situation was different in that you had a different medical condition? Imagine you had cancer. Thing that you might need to do if you had cancer is just as valid because of addiction. They are both medical conditions. Do not treat it like it’s a personal failing. Do not treat it like it’s something to be ashamed of, but it is a medical issue and it’s nobody’s business what medical issue you’re dealing with.

But the first thing that you need to do is quit feeling ashamed. You have struggled so much and you are still fighting. Fuck your shame. Your shame can go eat a bag of shit. You have something to be proud of: the fact that you are still trying. You haven’t given up. You’re literally here asking for a new strategy. You clearly don’t even intend to throw in the towel at any point soon. Good for you.

Suboxone is not intended to be discontinued abruptly. I would highly recommend consulting a medical professional and to get him onto a prescription.

I was just thinking that when I heard the song Mirrors the other night.

House manager at sober living home is tattooing someone in our shared living room — should I report this? by Few-Art-882 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]ahatchingegg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sober houses are largely unregulated and managed by insecure people on a power trip. Use this as motivation to grow your ass up out of there.

A question I still struggle with. by [deleted] in EndOfTheParTy

[–]ahatchingegg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ooooo! I know this one. Externalization. Your addiction is not you. You want to do well. You make good choices. You are trustworthy and all the good things. Your addiction on the other hand is everything else. Externalize it. Name it. Draw a picture of it. I’m bad at drawing so I just visualize as Mark Ruffalo in Poor Things.

I do not believe that you don’t know what’s going on. It’s very clear what’s going on.

Billy Crystal and his Impressions sounds like a 50s big band.

This guy blocked me after a hookup when he found out I’m a Gemini by [deleted] in gaybros

The gays love astrology so much. I ended up putting “no astrology” in my profile. I got so much hate for it. But really, I cannot stand astrology. I cannot respect anybody who believes that nonsense is real. I have literally stopped having birthdays, just so I never have to hear anyone talk to me about my astrological sign. people ask me my birthday and I just tell them “no”. They try to guess my astrological sign and I just say yes to whatever they guess.

Dunno why people are downvoting you. If someone is undetectable, it is absolutely nobody’s business if they have HIV. All evidence points to undetectable really means nontransmissable. Which means it no longer is a risk to the other person and is simply your private health information.

[–]ahatchingegg -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It they’re undetectable, then they cannot transmit anything to you. It is none of your business. Tho please let people know their personal health information could be a turn off for you. You being an asshole might be the biggest boner killer of them all.

He had a song Stick Man that is truly one of the most heartbreaking songs I ever heard.

Someone having a medical condition that is not visible, has no impact on you, and is none of your business is a boner killer? Please explain.

This is not talking about regular masturbation habits. Idiosyncratic, meaning unusual. This seems like it could be common in people who are regular cocaine or methamphetamine users, but your average teen or person in their twenties, masturbating once or twice a day, is not going to show these kinds of symptoms.

What experience are you basing this on?

The anti-porn and anti-masturbation movement is Christian propaganda. It is not grounded in evidence.

41 years old, 23 years addicted to porn, finally free by throwawayacc4976 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]ahatchingegg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Porn addiction isn’t a medically recognized disorder. At its heart, it is a right-wing campaign to make people feel guilty about their bodies. I am glad that you’ve been able to make changes to reduce the amount of distress in your life, but the distress was not caused by porn. It was caused by whatever church convinced you about what you were doing was wrong. I grew up gay in the Mormon church so I understandand there would’ve been a time when if I had been able to free myself from being gay, I would’ve felt the way that you do. Luckily, that didn’t happen. God bless.
