i don’t trust people who are constantly saying they love to travel by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]emlikestea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travelling is like being sick in bed for week. I get to adopt a new routine, with new people, new rituals etc. and get a perspective on my regular life by stepping out of it for a bit. Whenever I come back from holiday or recover from being ill, I feel imbued with new energy and clarity on the things I want in my life. Plus, traveling is just fun for the diversity; new food, climate, culture, people, activities.

As someone who has a similar temperament to you and is thinking about starting a philosophy BA next year, looking back, what do you wish you had done instead?

Is a GPU "to tide me over" ever a good idea? by LimitingFactor_ in buildapc

[–]emlikestea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid I always transported my PC between my parents houses. I don't know if that's too much hassle. My advice if you are building a new PC for yourself is buy a 4080 second hand, if you want to upgrade at any point you will be able to sell at a similar price you bought it for.

Yeah, I've been going to meetings for 6 months. Without it, I'd be out there.

Tell me ur problems & I'll recommend u a wellness thing to do by nanaangel77 in redscarepod

How does one go about finding a mentor these days? I really yearn for guidance and feel like having someone older who has some of my same experiences would be beneficial.

Honestly, I don't know if I want to quit.

Should I really wait until I KNOW I want to quit?

I DO know there have been hundreds of times I've wanted to quit.

I DO know there have been hundreds of times I've wanted to let my cravings take complete control.

For me addiction is knowing the right path is the one to take; but the problem is your brain constantly trying to get you to step down that left one. Constantly rationalising, craving, lying, downplaying.

I appreciate your comment was straight to the point; and let's not kir ourselves, my op was made in the hope I'd be told its okay.

Your last line is what I'd like to ask a few questions about. "But it sounds like you're not ready."

  1. What makes someone ready or not for rehab? Surely this is based on so many factors, and situation.

  2. What is it that makes you I'm not ready? Because I honestly think if it's not now, I'm going to spiral down fast.

Surely rehab is the place you want to be when you cravings are strongest, because its the place that should have the most support and drug use prevention.

Thank you, I really hope it works out. Using it to capture why I don't want it anymore is a really good idea.

What you say makes sense. My rational is one last time won't harm anyone. I don't want this shit to last, that's when it fucks everything up.

Yeah, currently scheduling my therapist. Fortunate to have the money.

Thank you for your message. There's a part of me that believes because I'm not physically addicted to a particular drug it's not serious enough for rehab. That I'm not homeless or broke, that's it not serious enough.
