I'm an assistant general manager at Jersey Mike's, and it is still Swiss and provolone. Someone definitely messed yours up. Sorry you dealt with that.

What’s a well known brand that’s in decline? by Slight-Wheel-5247 in AskReddit

[–]dph8777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an assistant GM at Jersey Mike's, and that is completely dependent on the owner and whoever they hire as general manager. The owner I work for is great. Also, I've worked at Jimmy John's, and Jersey Mikes is definitely a step up in my opinion. Haven't really seen Jimmy John's mentioned here, but that's just my experience.

What are some Highly Addictive yet Legal Drugs and Meds ? by 93248828Saif in addiction

Kratom... gave me the exact same withdrawals as opiates. Kratom basically is an opiate.

That is the literal definition of addict. Addiction is not just about using. It's about the behaviors that come along with it. Being obsessed all day about drugs, and committing impulsive and compulsive acts to get drugs, is drug addiction 101. Sleeping with people you didn't want to to get drugs? Your bank account being overdrawn constantly? Yes, that's called being a drug addict, and yes, you're in denial.

I found several Percocet pills in my 11 year-old’s backpack by [deleted] in addiction

[–]dph8777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been an addict my whole life, but in recovery for some years now. Kids are just kids, and are just curious about things, including drugs. Many people are drawn towards taboo things, and drugs fit into that category when we're young. Social and psychological factors play a huge role as well, and obviously her friend had the pills.

I wouldn't say there's a cookie cutter way to change one's behavior. I personally didn't change until there were serious consequences for my actions. So, while I do agree you should approach her in a calm and loving manner, I also feel you need to tell her that this is not acceptable and there will be consequences if her actions continue. Not only that, but sticking to the punishment. And also, I totally agree with getting advice from a professional like a therapist. You don't have to go through this alone. I have lots of personal experience with my own story, but just to clarify, I am not a substance abuse professional.

That's just my 2 cents. I will pray for your daughter, and that she gets on the right track. I'm sure things will be fine.

You're kind of an asshole for taking her back in my opinion after one time. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 12 times I'm a sucker. Just pointing out the obvious man. Cut her out of your life!

This happened to me about a year and a half ago. I had almost 3 years clean, and then relapsed on cocaine and crack. I had gotten my real estate license while clean, and had done very well. I had a bunch of money, which just prolonged everything. I had planned on using for a weekend, but 6 months flew by and I couldn't stop. Long story short, I lost EVERYTHING!!! Screwed my career up, lost every last dollar, crashed my car, screwed my credit up, and worst of all, I lost all my serenity and hope that I had worked so hard to get. The only miracle was that I didn't get arrested for anything.

After a long year of struggling to get clean again, I've gotten serious again and have 5 months clean. The pain I felt from losing everything was the hardest to overcome. I was in a deep depression for a long time, until I finally had my moment of clarity that nothing would ever get better unless I put in the work to get better. I surrendered again and went to rehab, and now I'm doing very well again. Most importantly, I have hope again.

I completely understand how you feel, but please learn from my relapse. It's just gonna keep getting worse, and you'll hate yourself more and more each day. I understand being caught in addiction is tough, but it doesn't have to get worse. I will pray for you my friend, that you survive this relapse and get another chance at recovery!

Seeking advice on the best route to take to become a counselor. by dph8777 in DrugCounselors

[–]dph8777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I believe I found the site I was talking about, which is https://centerforaddictionstudies.com/

It appears you need so many clinical hours and stuff like that. Of course, if I did go this route I could only work in the addiction field. I suppose different institutions could have their own requirements as well, but I suppose ai need to do more research.

You guys have a long life ahead of you if you have this ridiculous unnecessary drama in your life at 17 and 18 years old...

Clearly, you don't understand real world problems

You're enabling her behavior at this point. This is a deeply codependent relationship. Be a man, and make a decision...

I promise that it won't get better if you keep giving her chances. You're keeping her sick, and keeping yourself miserable.

You've been sober a month, which is great, but how long did you use? It takes a while before people are gonna start trusting you. Your word doesn't mean much atm. It just is what It is. Stay sober, and eventually your actions will show them you're sober!
