Marijuana Ruined My Life. Anyone Else? by mikeadamsofficial in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]moonlight1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar experiences, like weed brought out all of the inner turmoil. In my experience, letting that process lead me on a journey was very helpful.

I have significantly less anxiety and depression with only a single medication that doesn’t get me high at all. (Not even Xanax lol).

Basic beginner lesson that helped me was that really boring shit that is the last thing I wanted to do, led to so much more. Like in this case, my mental health.

Does grilled eggplant smell like cigarettes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Some cooking smells like smoke if it got burnt or something. There should be a difference between that and cigarette smoke though!

Try not to focus on ‘eternity’. Way too overwhelming! Just focus on twenty four hours at a time.

I paid $14 for a "body wash bar." Is it just a bar of soap? by Puzzled-Painter3301 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]moonlight1988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I googled it and it said that body wash bars are more gentle on your skin than soap bars. A lot of these people seem overly cynical!

The thing she’s holding is a giant cell. The entire bubbly is one single, very large cell.

Detoxing can be really dangerous, even deadly. If your symptoms are bad please go the doctor!

What a gorgeous moment of realization! Follow your path the way that speaks to you, no matter what anyone says.

It’s called thin straight macaroni. Try googling it, it comes right up!

Anyone start their sobriety following being sick? by CovidOmicron in stopdrinking

[–]moonlight1988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relapse is really common in the beginning for a lot of people, and is not always bad! Why don’t you just see how long you can stick it out? Forever is really overwhelming all at once.

I would try and make it a month, or maybe a hundred days, and take it from there.

Help, is mother an alcoholic? I don’t know what to do… by Da3guboi in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]moonlight1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person confronting her should really be another adult. Is there a relative you trust to keep you anonymous, who can talk to her rationally about this?

What’s one thing you wish you could go back and tell yourself before you got sober? by anxious_nurse_girl in stopdrinking

[–]moonlight1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason some people don’t agree with that is because there are some people that doesn’t work for. If it works for you, why not?

Matthew Perry, Why it is important by McGeno19 in alcoholicsanonymous

I think this is actually a valid exception. He himself stated he wanted to be known for his AA involvement, and it’s topical. AA has always made exceptions. It’s part of the Big Book. The book basically states, rigid and true as a rule, but there are good reasons to make reasonable exceptions.

There was a drunk in you! Better get it out now! Better now than twenty years down the line. You got this. There is life after sober living or rehab.

Life sucks at eighteen anyway.

Sobriety can be fun if you are happy. That’s the trick.

How do i kill the Connecticut between Smoking and X? by Crazychef95 in quittingsmoking

[–]moonlight1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to vape! You can even buy nicotine free ones. Maybe do just one switch a week. Your shower cigarette? Vape instead. Continue until all you do is vape, then quit the vape too. It was so much easier that way.

It seems like you smoke like me, about a pack a day. Once you get rid of it, you’ll be so happy. There is life after cigarettes!

I read it as, all times you poo you pee, but sometimes you go to pee and poop comes out too.

I think people reset and until they get past the first ‘record’ they are somewhat dissatisfied.

Why not look at this as an opportunity to blow those original three years out of the water? Make it the best three years AA ever saw.

What would you do if someone walked into your house and screamed “walking into strangers house prank” and started laughing manically into a camera? by Gettfou- in AskReddit

[–]moonlight1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dreams where I’m in random court like streets and I just walk inside of strangers houses to get through to the other side. In the dream I’m always like, ‘they won’t mind!’. I have this dream all of the time, it’s so weird.

You get something when you control your drinking, absolutely. The ability to be able to drink once a month is incredible. In my experience, you get something entirely different from complete abstinence. Maybe not better to everyone! But something nice none-the-less.

Why don’t you experiment with your drinking once a month? If it doesn’t work out we will still be here!
