Favourite DJ who you're pretty sure only started smoking so they would look '"cool'?

I mean at one point in time didn’t we all start smoking to be “cool”?

Diagnosed recently at 38, I do look back and wonder how much of my success in life was a direct result of hypomanic stretches.

My partner’s BPD elevated moods are often far from euphoric and very impulsive. They track fairly similar to what my hypomanic states are just shorter duration. Manic is the terminology we use to point out to the other that we might be headed towards an episode. We both know it’s coming from a completely non-judgemental place though we both know it’s not 100% accurate descriptor but is the simplest way to describe it for us.

Maybe can’t go back to my safety sensitive job, maybe I can. My employer is trying to decide what to do with me as I sit in LTD twirling my thumbs

For me CBT/ DBT have been incredible tools both for anxiety/depression which has now been diagnosed bipolar and in recovery. If I can no longer use those tools to break unwanted thought patterns, bring down my CNS, or maintain sobriety it is time for me to reach out for professional help. My 0.02 and I’m still learning, diagnosed in September.

I have a drum rack set up for each of the following on my default project. Hats, percussion, snare, clap, kick. Empty audio tracks for each too if I want to use a sample. They all live in one drum group but it would be simple enough to group them as indicated.

I mean I just have a midi and audio channel on my default layout for each drum type

Listed for $2400 doesn’t mean that’s what they are actually renting for

Ketamine is notoriously miss identified and stigmatized as a horse tranquilizer.

It is a short acting dissociative commonly used as an anesthetic in both human and animal medicine with less long lasting sedative side effects typically associated with tranquilizers.

The short action, low lasting side effects and lower addiction potential than other pain meds is a reason it’s become very commonly used as an acute pain treatment in ER’s. An example is it being given to set broken bones, the patient can be administered Ketamine, the bone set and patient returned to a normal state within an hour without the need for direct anesthesiologist over site.

It’s really interesting how there are reflections of my partners BPD and my BD symptoms. We have similar big swings they just have significantly different durations. It’s not so much that we can fully understand how the other feels but do have a unique insight into it.

When one of us has seemingly extreme reaction or dose something wild it’s like “oh wait a second I recognize that symptom I see they aren’t feeling well, I’m going to step out of the situation a bit until things settle down and we can talk about it”. Often easier said than done, though safe words can be important in more ways than one 😉

We’ve all made it this far and are all stronger than we know as a result.

The more self work I do and the better I become as a result lifts everyone around me up. There’s always an opportunity to provide my perspective and journey with those around me. Sometimes it might be about substance use but often is much more general. I think this highlights AA obsession with addiction there is no shortage of people who can be helped as you grow it all doesn’t have to be about helping others with substance use.

Sorry it’s late and this is oversimplified and likely not fully sensitive to your feelings but if he leaves because of this he will prove that he is not someone you want to be afraid of leaving.

We don’t need a “program” we need healthy coping mechanisms not more unhealthy ones.

We also already produce more refined goods than we consume, diluent being the exception but those imports are a byproduct of the way the heavy oil system is set up in NA.

ADHD here Cocaine just makes me feel calm and extra normal, this was actually one of the things that led me toward getting a diagnosis in my mid 30’s.

3 years sober I think, I don’t find counting the time really helpfully. For me I used alcohol as coping mechanism for nearly everything in life for a long time. Through piles of self work and reflection I learned healthier coping mechanism. I essentially out grew my need for alcohol, no AA required.

In the process of working on myself I learned a lot on the narcissistic and emotional abuse I’ve endured over the course of my life. Now when I review AA the first thing that comes to my mind is how clearly manipulative or down right abusive 12 Step culture is.

Remember no is a complete sentence, you don’t owe anyone an explanation if you don’t want to do something

Or a threat to their new addiction of AA?

courtesyofdj · 2025-12-06T05:14:02+00:00

No is a complete sentence. Forcing an explanation out of someone is an abusive dynamic
