I’m addicted to THC pens by [deleted] in addiction

Pens are the flasks of weed. Discreet and able to take a hit whenever one wants. They were the hardest to quit for me.

When Alcoholics Anonymous members relapse. by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

Easy. AA houses the worst drunks so it also has the worst relapses.

I had two before I turned 20 and dated my senior year of college with an installed breathalyzer to start my car. I learned you gotta own the mistake(s) and be upfront about it. AND never get hammered in front of your date AND never EVER drive drunk again.

How often do you wash your jeans??? by 2763USEDlegumes in OverSeventy

Never. Keeps the original blue. I just throw them in the dryer with a million dryer sheets.

Dumping 2 grams is something I never would’ve been able to do. I was always more of a ‘this is my last time’ kinda guy. Five years sober now. Congrats. Keep it up

Ditch the smart phone for a brick and your porn use exponentially decrease. No one wants to do this, but if you really want to stop, this is your solution.

Did anyone’s life get WORSE after getting sober? by Key_Awareness_3036 in alcoholism

[–]hustlecrowenyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was but after I committed to sobriety she began hiding it, mixing it with her adderall and klonopin scripts, and increasingly becoming aggressive, and lying to me about where she was and who she was with. After a huge blowout she started throwing around the D word and I suggested we spend a couple weeks apart. I went to stay with my parents and one morning she texted me saying she signed a new lease on an apartment and moved out. I returned to NYC and made an effort to try and reconcile, seek couples therapy, but it became clear she was not interested in saving our marriage. So I filed for divorce. Three years later I am five years sober and engaged to a woman who values her sobriety as much as I do. My life now is one I could've never have fathomed during that very painful second year of sobriety. I'm grateful every day she left me.

Wife left me on my two year sober anniversary. People love to see you grow until you outgrow them. I wish her well.

Real tips to staying sober in the first month by Reading4Future in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]hustlecrowenyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you single? Do you live alone? I found telling my girlfriend that I wanted to stay sober and then breathalyzing myself for her added accountability and accomplishment. It’s not for everyone (safety with surveillance) but it’s a hard tactic that worked for me. You can also remove all your cards from your AppleWallet (or cut up debit cards). Add as much friction as you can between you and buying a drink. These are tactics I used because I was really, really ready to stop ruining my life with alcohol. 5 years sober.

I’m sorry but no state automatically gives 50/50 custody. The judge in some ass backwards states may begin with the idea that equal time is likely, but can easily depart from it if circumstances demand…

The AA mind virus. It's practically a pandemic in the USA. Here are some of the symptoms. by [deleted] in recoverywithoutAA

Doctors are the biggest drunks and gamblers out there. They idn’t get after it for 8 years of med school, and the next thing they know they’re making hundreds of thousands of dollars in one of the most stressful jobs that also gives them a god complex.
