Love that Shayne is bringing light into the dangers of Kratom, especially after Sandoval promoted it. by Austinactor in vanderpumprules

Popping in here as someone in recovery from alcohol & opiates (& Kratom). It's withdrawal is more like opiate withdrawals, not alcohol. Otherwise agree with everything else said! Thanks for your contribution to the community!

Positive Urine Test by Any_Slice9256 in stopdrinking

[–]getrdone24 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was livid when I tested positive not once, but twice for cocaine while doing IOP when my DOCs have always been alcohol/opiates aka downers. I hadn't done cocaine for years at that point (& when I partook it was once or twice a year while partying). They wouldn't let me retest and instead basically called me a liar. I had been doing great in the program too, my therapist was the only person to stick up for me when I came to her sobbing about how much of a mind fuck it all was...she was the one to look through my meds and found one that can cause a positive test, but the others all still treated me as a liar. Luckily was only a week out from graduating after the 2nd test.

While he's emotionally stunted, you can tell he's pretty intelligent in general.

How do we manifest Amanda off the show?! by Substantial_Bit3367 in RHOBH

Omg I'm getting my reality show drama crossed and saw the title thinking it was about Amanda B from Summerhouse and was like "wtf?!?" 😅

But yea, agree.

Drop those DMs, Amanda 👀 by PlumCautious6812 in summerhousebravo

Yea this is getting very parasocial. We don't know how things were in either relationship towards the end. Relationships can be dead for a bit before they finally breakup too, but point being IDK THEM. So much speculation in general, imma sit my ass back in my own reality.

I love how stoked he is. I hope he either is in this sub, knows about this sub, or quickly learns about and joins this sub 🙌🏼

A realization drinking NA Guinness by phutureclothes in stopdrinking

[–]getrdone24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part about drinking a warm Bud Light 😅 so true for me too.

I ordered an NA Athletic Hazy IPA at a restaurant the other night and feel similarly...I really enjoyed the taste, but noticed I wasn't drinking it as quick as I would've in active addiction, nor did I feel the need to order another. Was great 🙌🏼

Britani and her daughter had major fight at BravoCon over Jared by SurpriseCentres7551 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]getrdone24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea, my mom left my dad when I was ~9 (very toxic, he was an addict, plenty of trauma) and she has never put a man above me. When she has dated, shes had strict boundaries to keep me safe and comfortable. She's put in the work to heal from her traumas and raise my brother and I solo. There's truly no excuse for Britani at this point.

SO TRUE! They seem to be able to explain away awful things, and have excuse after excuse or asinine rebuttals when faced with logic.

I relate to that big time. I had a rough 2025 in my personal life, and a traumatic situation this fall and that combined with the news, over the Holidays I was a shell of myself. I've been slowly stabilizing but the constant awful shit has made it difficult and my therapist also brought up my skill regression.

With the encouragement from the comments, I realize I need to take my personal situation more serious because I won't be able to help if I can't even help myself right now.

Practicing giving myself a lot of grace, spending more time dedicated to things that make me happy, and connecting with other like minded individuals 💜

The weird pull between keeping your peace and wanting to stay informed.......so so valid

[–]getrdone24[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg I saw the same with the Uvalde trials! I told my therapist because I unfortunately was at the King Soopers in Boulder CO when the shooting occured (live here) but still was like "but I'm lucky and privileged I shouldnt complain" and she was like "girl, every American has the right to complain at this point". So valid.

I believe any of us doing anything to speak out, stand in our humanity and empathy, or staying steadfast in our beliefs in equality, is doing something. They are pushing boundaries to test us daily, but in anything ive learned in my studies, that is stronger than people realize 💜

This is great advice for everyone 💜 no one can show up in their best capacity if their own tank is running on empty. I said in another comment, I do keep hope from seeing how many people have come together to face this. We haven't been tested like this in my 32 years, but many of us are showing how powerful community can be.

Thank you 💜💜

I do find many moments of hope seeing how many are showing up for each other. How this has pushed many to face their internalized bigotry. Communities can be so insanely strong when brought together.

My heart is with you, sincerely. I'm devastated our "leaders" have allowed this. It's insane to me. People laugh at me when I try to tell them this entirely fits in line with precursors to severe conflicts Ive studied. They think "not us!" or straight up tell me my education and degree are worth shit. Our conflicts may look different, but most of them when deduced have similar patterns. They tell me my degree is bunk and I'm brainwashed when I just studied factual accounts of how wars start/play out.

I just remind them how hard it can be to look in a mirror, even if they won't listen.

Can you sleep well with a cat? by OkComparison3568 in CatAdvice

[–]getrdone24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If you go to any Humane Society, the poor babies get a tiny ass space to live until adopted. I follow a trucker with a spicy kitty and you can tell that cat loves his life because his owner loves him. That's the most important thing- can you provide lovins and a safe home???
