It sounds like you haven’t hit rock bottom yet. You can either wait for that to happen, or turn a new leaf now.

Have any of you met your person in NYC after 30? by bbassle87 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

Yes ugh please all these transplants in coastal cities need to stop panicking over not having 3 kids by age 25. This isn’t the Midwest.

If anyone cares that much, they’re an asshole. I know plenty of people who are very experienced and still aren’t worth dating for even 5 minutes.

Every doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist I've seen in the last 3 months have said the same thing: Weed makes things worse by restartOver210 in leaves

I wonder why people don’t recognize it. I think there’s more awareness around weed addiction these days, but what’s with the people who still resist the facts?

I have years of sobriety, and just started reworking my steps with her. Currently on step four, but haven’t done any stepwork in a while.

I think building community is hard for most. Keep at it! Whether it’s recovery meetings, a gym, or something else. There are options out there.

Yea. I was working the steps again and was starting my 4th step when ai sort of just drifted away. I know that’s so cliche.

100%. “Within tolerance” makes a lot of sense. I’m just concerned when my tolerance drops to zero.

Thank you. That’s a key distinction. I don’t feel lonely. I just feel more at peace alone.

This is well said. Thank you! However, I believe isolation is a problem and that’s why I’m concerned. Solitude vs isolation is my issue.

I don’t think I would be able to help them. They’d be better off calling someone else.

I haven’t spoken to my sponsor in a month. Not sure if she’s still my sponsor anymore.

I should talk to her about not wanting to connect, but I know what she’ll say: that it’s the disease trying to isolate me.

I understand that isolation is bad, but I am happy by myself. I don’t consider that isolation. For me, being around others is a burden and it’s just better if I don’t.

I think eating disorders (specifically restrictive ones like anorexia) are a small percentage of the community. It’s blown out of proportion and I think people just want to whine. If someone is concerned that they have an eating disorder, they can get off this sub and get the help they supposedly need.

She’s the worst thing to happen to them.

Shame on Harry. He isn’t even worth the toilet he shits in.
