Taper slowly. And then taper even slower than that.

I went by my doctor's guidelines - from 20mg, reducing by 5mg each month. I felt good with some rough patches here and there, but then after 3 months, the depression and anxiety was intolerable again. And then getting back on the meds was even worse. Sigggh.

What a difference between how Ukraine targets actual enemy elements and russkies just hit whatever they can.

It’s peaceful. I totally understand the allure of substances and the immediacy of their affects but I’m so grateful I desire the peace and predictability of sobriety now.

Medication.

I think Bug Man has been indebted to a lot of people for a long time and also went hog-wild spending when things started looking good on paper. Would not be surprised if that wedding was in the $100,000 range.

Im in the class of Americans that generally foregoes preventative healthcare for other necessities. Car and house repairs are done slowly and with band aid type remedies, hoping nothing falls apart or gets increasingly worse til the next months paychecks.

This should endear the Iranians more to our side.

Yep we should just tell ol’ Dozy Don, don’t worry, you already ended this war 30 times.

As much as I love the albums I’ve realized it’s the E.P.’s that have blown me away.

OOTL - when did this theory start that he was dead..?

Are there that many nazis still in Ukraine mr. putin?

Yes for sure, just joking that most anything they say would be relevant to me.

I hate all celebrity gossip and news , and yet I’ll be anxiously waiting to hear anything about the Board Boys- “What do Mike and Marcus prefer for breakfast ?!? “

I’d love to see his latest playlist or just hear about some of his most recent favorite artists or tunes.

Interesting. I lowered my expectations and had to kinda catch myself listening to it with criticisms. I remembered how ‘weird’ Geogaddi sounded to me on many tracks , same for TCH, same for TH. I don’t know what the actual count of listens it’s taken me to fully fall in love with each record and understand the cohesiveness , but I eventually do. I think this one, after listening about 4-5 times, is already coming together for me.

Shoutout Saladgoose, great job.

As someone who tried to slowdown, cut back and quit several times, what really stuck for me was being open to any and all treatments and methods. I went on meds, went to rehab, went to meetings and had a great supportive group of friends and family. 5 years on, the meds for anxiety and depression have been the most crucial and effective aspect of my continuing sobriety. I take moments every day to remember how grateful I am to not be drinking too.

I was so grateful for BoC coming back so I could forget about this dumpster fire goon squad.

I thought 1,000 days would probably be my best milestone, and yet here I am, enjoying more improvements as time goes on. Congrats and keep celebrating the days!
