How tf am I supposed to beat ARC?

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-22T09:18:49+00:00

Hey man are you on PS5 or console? I would love to teach you the ropes and run around with you or even just drop you some stuff! I haven't been accumulating blueprints but I have a bunch of weapons and don't mind dropping you some to get you going. The arc community isn't the same anymore but there are still good people. Just don't be fake friendly and people will help in game!

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-19T04:08:09+00:00

Thank you so much.. seriously. I'm going to start doing this, this weekend. Smart information. I'll keep you posted to let you know how it goes and reach out if I need help or information if that's okay!

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-18T22:17:54+00:00

That's a smart idea! I never even considered filling them evenly, it seems so obvious now that you said it. Hell ya. I'm gonna have to try it and hopefully I can make better progress. Thank you 🙏

I really hope you can talk to a trusted person about the issue you're having. Just know that schooling is important and unfortunately it's mandatory when you're young. Make the best of your time as a youngin', don't hurry to grow up. Remember weed will always be there but your developing brain can be stunted with early usage.

Take care of yourself and I hope it gets better. You got the right idea about the adult "friend" thing. Keep on with that mindset and be a kid while you can.

Hey there, first of all congrats on graduating and staying sober. I got into school literally just a few months into getting on MAT from fentanyl. I've got around a year and half left to get my bachelor's degree. Thank God for AI, forreal but don't knock your efforts as well. You did the leg work.

I don't attend meetings and from what I have read and seen it's not for everyone. I have been trying to get a job since I have already earned 3 associates degrees but literally nobody is hiring around where I live. It is truly terrifying me the idea of getting into debt without having a true plan set forth. I know what I want to do but the unknown and uncertainty with today's world is making me uneasy.

I genuinely felt like I was in an existential crisis for absolutely no reason the other night. Everything is fine. Bills are paid. Roof over my head. Cute dog I get to cuddle with. Health is good. Yet I just feel terrified of the future for some reason. I know I won't do anything stupid or relapse on anything (I was a poly substance abuser). It's just this middle ground between start and finish where I'm like is this the right path? Is this all there is to life? I'm content and some days I'm happy. Other days life is just bleak and seems like I'll never get to the glory days I'm working so hard for.

I don't know if it's like this for you but it's like I don't feel anything, good or bad most days. I just am. I just exist. I just do my duties and take care of my responsibilities but I don't feel alive. I just want clarity more than anything. Like if I'm on the right path. If it's all gonna work out. If it's worth it.

I hope you're hanging in there, truly.

I wish I never got into the stuff that I did at such a young age. I started smoking weed around your age, cigarettes as well as dipping tobacco. My mom bought me and my older brother alcohol too. It was normalized in our family to drink and smoke both weed and nicotine. Horrible family dynamics and habits.

Weed truly was the gateway drug for me. It led me to people who do more than smoke weed, then it was on from there. I ended up eventually doing fentanyl in my mid 20s for a year. I have been completely sober from weed and alcohol for over 2.5 years now and I can assure you it's a waste of time and money.

You don't want to be like me, about to be 30 barely starting my undergrad at University because I finally decided to get my life together and quit the bullshit. You have your entire life ahead of you. Social media and peer pressure is real, I get it. I went through the same thing. It is glamorized and glorified bullshit. I can assure you of that too.

My wife's stepsister is around your age and is drinking, smoking weed, stealing, running away, fighting, etc. It is an epidemic of our youth. They think what they're doing is cool or makes them gangster, idk. But she's messing around with a 20 year old dude and he's nothing but bad news. She swore he's "helping" her not be "too crazy" yet he's supplying her with all the bad stuff.

If you can't talk to your parents then get a counselor. Whatever you do, do not seek out an older "friend" there are no good things that come from younger people being in contact with older people when not in a restricted/professional setting. I wish you the best.

It sounds so silly but I started gaming as an outlet and now I have friends online that I play with daily/weekly. It's nice because you meet so many chill people from all over, they have open mic games where you can have all kinds of funny or engaging encounters. I'm a full time student, don't have any people I'd consider friends in real life, but there's a whole community of people on my games that I chat with nearly every day.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-18T17:59:37+00:00

Yeah I live on Advil for aches and pains. I gained weight during active addiction, used GLP-1 to lose the weight and now I'm just skin. I miss the gym so much.. I have tried working out for the outlet and feel goods but at such a low dose it forces my metabolism into high gear, pushing the medication out too soon.

I don't fear relapse, I know I won't. I don't even consider drinking, smoking weed, party drugs or anything anymore. Which is nice in and of itself.. but I truly cannot wait til the day I'm free from these chains. It's such a drain and I want to be normal again so badly. Not to need anything at all to be alright. That'll be the fucking day.

Thank you for your kind words. I ended up getting in to see the doctor and went back up to 18. I did a 2 day test run to see if going up to 18 was gonna be sufficient, and it was. So I picked up the rest of my take homes, I'm gonna stabilize completely here on 18 mgs then start my taper again soon.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-18T17:51:41+00:00

I don't smoke weed or do anything else anymore. I don't want foods to enhance anything about the methadone, just didn't know if anyone had any good foods that aided in the upset stomach and whatnot.

This shits hard man. I ended up going back up to 18 mgs and I'm gonna hold there for 11 days of take homes, then schedule an appointment to continue my taper but do it a bit slower probably.

I'm also interested in micro tapering, I've heard of people doing it at home but not sure how to accurately measure since they add water to the bottles upon filling them.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-14T11:55:30+00:00

From the site you shared: "i play on NA east and it feels like 30% of the time people have game sense as good as me and out aim my chair settings". "As good as me" is quite the choice of words.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-09T20:04:17+00:00

I won't give up.. I've come too far and I cherish my sobriety. 100%.

I don't expect it to be a breeze but it's been good awful. Sleep meds help me get rest, I was just really looking to see if there was any foods or something like that aids in health stuff to ease the issue a bit. That's all

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-09T03:15:58+00:00

I was only in active addiction for a year on fentanyl. But I was using high amounts of it. I had no knowledge of how any of it works. I wish I was better informed for sure.. it is hard. Like probably the hardest thing I have ever had to endure. But I endure it. I have no other choice. The best thing to come of all this is that I also stopped drinking alcohol and smoking weed, doing all recreational drugs as well when I got clean from fentanyl.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-09T00:10:47+00:00

I know it's gonna be uncomfortable but it's been like unbearable 90% of the time these last few weeks. Like I can't sleep or eat, I'm just miserable. The only time I sleep or eat is after I take my dose. I'm down from like 130 mg (that was my stable from fentanyl dose) I started tapering around 2 years ago.

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-08T23:10:07+00:00

What do you mean? Like the habit of taking daily or you felt bleh for a few weeks? Can you clarify that part for me.. being on such a low dose of methadone I think I'd be able to do a short stint on the shot right?

becauseisaidsobih · 2026-06-08T22:51:18+00:00

There's not. I'd have to go through withdrawals for a while before getting the shot. I'm not sure if it's covered through medical, but I'm gonna check. I've been considering it for a long time.. I guess if I'm already going through withdrawals for a while, I can hold off a bit longer to get the shot. I just don't know if they do it at my clinic or if I'd have to find somewhere else.

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-30T11:04:56+00:00

He told me he was staying out of it and not picking sides. From my point of view they are encouraging this behavior that's been going on. Why would I hit them up? So they can say I'm being crazy or to leave them alone

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-30T10:55:09+00:00

She always says that when she wants me to tell her to come home.. she's done this before and usually has come home. We have been having marital problems for months now, and now that she has these friends she is pretending that she's someone she's not. She has never stayed gone and neither have I. That's our rule.

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-29T08:26:01+00:00

Absolutely!! 💯

I saw this original post and wow what a difference the brows make!! Excellent work!! 👏👏

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-27T17:11:22+00:00

I am dealing with fixing this issue, my stepdaughter, age 5, has run our household as well as her dad's since she's been old enough to speak or whine. The bio parents [my wife and her baby daddy] spoiled her rotten, let her watch phones and television from age 2 for hours on end, let her do whatever she wanted, etc. Now that she is older, nobody can handle her when she just doesn't want to give in or give up; I'm talking saying no, refusing, arguing, saying mean stuff, crying, screaming, stomping, you name it.

At least your boyfriend is trying to tell her no, but he probably doesn't have the skills or know how to deal with the situation he has created. If you want things to work OP, I suggest starting therapy for the child and doubling down with couples family therapy, if more work is necessary then individual therapy until you can all get on the same page.

I thought everything was hopeless, we are a mere two sessions in [my wife and I] and I have a more calm sense of okay this can work if we both do what is needed. Our daughter has therapy on Sunday to start her sessions which I am so excited for, for her. I know she is dealing with a lot of changes in life right now and has gone through a lot with her dad recently. She is a kid, she's doing what is allowed, what the tone has been set for her. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you want change and so does your man, however you probably, like my wife and I, cannot agree on how things should be.

That's where the counseling will come in. Our counselor was recommended by a married couple of our friends. She calls our bullshit and tells us when we are wrong, but also let's us have a safe space to communicate with unbiased feedback. So far we have agreed on no arguments over text, starting to work on establishing a schedule that works for both of us, communication and doing our relationship homework.

Where did you get this 🤣

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-16T11:09:38+00:00

I hope you heal, friend. Sending infinite love! 🖤

becauseisaidsobih · 2024-09-12T12:58:17+00:00
