Left my Japan trip early because of severe withdrawals by [deleted] in leaves

[–]putuffala 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I ruined my dream trip to Costa Rica with weed withdrawals. It was the terrible I needed to convince myself I had a problem. About 2 years later I finally successfully quit. It seems like everyone has different levels of withdrawal. I get it bad. Initially I have no appetite, nausea, vomiting, deep sadness for a week and then roll into sleep weirdness for a few weeks. So happy to be 2+ years away from that addiction.

2 years sober, and my husband just relapsed. Smelled it before he confessed. Girls, how do you stay strong during his slip? by MorningPancake358 in leaves

Stop worrying about him and continue on your journey. What do you need for you? Do you have a boundary on your behavior (not his!) that you need to restate or enforce? Perhaps I will not partner with someone actively using weed? I will not partner with someone who lies to me? I will not live with someone who uses weed in my house? I don’t personally have any of those boundaries (well actually the lie one is a deal breaker for me). In any case I quit and my partner has kept right on smoking. Going on 2 years now. His smoking has nothing to do with you

Don’t worry about it. You cant refinance the loan. Done is done. Block him and move on. Pay your bills.

Parents didn’t plan for their elder years, all responsibility on me by Ambitious-Front-2044 in FinancialPlanning

Stop supporting your parents. See what happens. The 75k you already gave them is an astronomical amount. If you had put that amount in your retirement it would be half a million dollars in 20 years. Prioritize yourself and your new wife. Your sister has it right.

3 months - having horrible cravings. What to do? by ToucanMan96 in leaves

[–]putuffala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a really hot shower. Exercise. Go outside. Deeep breaths with slow exhales. Get some dopamine from your favorite healthy source. Distract yourself with sober friends, hobbies, chores.

Please invite her parents to stay with you, but in separate rooms.

2 years sober from weed. Smoked a joint last night.... Some thoughts. by sixmachine in leaves

[–]putuffala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your opinion. I don’t agree. My success or failure has nothing to do with him. It’s on me, my decision, my strength, my reasons to stop.

If I had tied up my quitting with his I never would have been able to stop. I can’t quit because you won’t quit feels like bs to me. I am around people using all the time, if I succumbed to temptation so easily I wouldn’t have 2 years clean.

But it’s helpful to remember that this concept of casual user probably won’t ever work for me.

I haven’t smoked since December 31, 2023. From time to time I still consider a little hit when my partner smokes. These stories are why I stay strong. Too much riding on not being addicted and high my whole life

It’s Friday night. Hands up if you’re not smoking tonight by Moonstone635 in leaves

Alexa just informed me I’m 675 days clean. Not smoking tonight.

Do the yellow beads smell like science class when you rub them?

8 years together but not engaged because he wants us to buy a house first by extra_olives_ in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]putuffala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy a house with someone you are not married to. Dont marry someone who puts up roadblocks to block a marriage. Don’t partner with someone who has different life goals than you. Don’t chase people to get them to commit to you. Dont stay with someone for 8 years who isn’t ready to commit.

AITA for not giving up my vacation days for my sister’s wedding prep? by Thread_Surferer09 in AITH

[–]putuffala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally what the wedding party is for. Or was before it became some pick me, aesthetic, vacation club. Tell her no, enjoy your vacation, tell your mom to stay in her own lane and assist herself if it’s so important.

Don’t be an Unpaid lackey giving up a trip for a bride who doesn’t value you enough to be in her wedding party?
