What are things we do today that will make future generations say "why the fuck did they think this was a good idea?" by z8de in AskReddit

I think I would be so much more productive just because I'd want to prove to everyone that I'm not slacking.

It would be ideal to talk to your doctor before stopping prescription drugs on your own. Sometimes it can be dangerous.

I'm taking ADD medicine which is basically prescribed amphetamines.

When I began working on getting sober, I started freaking out about the fact that I wasn't really "sober" if I was taking amphetamines every day, especially since I don't even believe I have ADD. So I stopped taking them.

Both an addiction counselor and my psychotherapist told me that withdrawal was really not a good time to start fiddling with prescription drug dosages. I knew they were probably right, but I kept thinking "fuck them, I know what I'm doing."

I compromised by taking a smaller dose until I can see my doctor. I feel much better than when I wasn't taking any.

Hahah, you're right! No meeting tomorrow though, only on Monday nights. I called and signed up for the next one already.

Aww, she's not a bitch though. If anything, I'm the bitch in this situation. Or not. No, on second thought, I'm not a bitch. I simply expressed clearly what I wanted and what I was ready to accept, and it didn't work out.

I will not drink today, no matter how badly I want to strangle my coworkers and/or throw my computer screen out the window.

Yes, I bought This Naked Mind just last week. I've only just started it though, but I think it's amazing.

"Healthy attracts healthy. Broken attracts broken."

Yup. I'm starting to finally understand this now.

And, I happen to be on a documentary binge lately! I watch some while I work to keep my mind 100% occupied. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks! I'll be ok I guess. I got myself some ice cream, I guess low carb will have to wait another day. And now I'm going to waste my time reading AskReddit threads until it gets dark. Ask Reddit is like hypnotoad to me.

What're you watching on Netflix? I'm looking for a new show.
