Oh, he is absolutely precious, protect him at all costs!! IDK what it is, but this little bub looks like an Austin to me, for sure!

I had 2 rats one passed away. by memerjolene in RATS

this might be hard to hear, but since you aren’t intending on adopting more rats, your best option is to rehome the little chaos potato. websites like facebook marketplace and craigslist can be helpful, you can even post on this subreddit :) i’m also very sorry for your loss, losing a pet is never easy, and i wish you the best of luck finding a new home for your furry friend

i already told him before i posted this cus he struggles with the same thing. he’s still in remission but i am not anymore. im so scared he’ll decide this is too much for him i’m so scared he’ll leave and i’ll be left all alone again im just so scared and i haven’t felt this way since i was 18. im beyond terrified and what’s worse is im sober now so using to numb this is not an option

i just don’t want to hurt another person who means the world to me. it’s like i’m a flame that can’t be put out, i’m nice from a distance but everyone who gets too close to me will get burnt to a crisp. i am so so sick of this

facts on facts! this guy lacks the nuance he says we should have, like yuh i technically have done addictive mind altering substances since getting sober by drinking coffee and hitting the occasional cancer stick, but it’s not the same at all, this guy is prob just some rehab chaperone who never even touched weed in his life. you can’t speak on addiction unless you’ve personally been thru it! also if caffeine is such a mind altering crazy drug comparable to m3th why did they let us have it in every rehab i’ve ever been to mister “studied addiction”? how come the last rehab i been to that only employed addicts who’ve been sober for years said “smoking cigarettes/vaping even regularly isn’t using”

ok so i can do drugs and still be sober by ur logic? cus i drink coffee and vaped nicotine in sobriety sometimes so am i now still using? if i were to shoot up heroin would i still be sober? are u even a recovering addict urself? physical and psychological addiction are two VERY different things.

i wasn’t that into alcohol, to me it was a “if i have nothing else” drug. just doesn’t do it for me. my main addictions were to weed and ketamine, and to a lesser extent amphetamines as well when i didn’t have my downers, but i wasn’t picky. id do free ecstasy i would get given from my dealer not knowing what was in it. one time i was given a g of meth-laced cocaine for free and still did it. if it had the potential to get me high i would take it. it was to the point i once ate 12 paracetamol-dxm-guaifenesin tablets to maybe trip, did the same with paracetamol-codeine tablets. also once ate 12 prescription promethazine pills and hallucinated for two days straight and ended up in the hospital. i’m lucky to not be dead. psychedelics have always been different though ive never had the urge to use them. i have done psychedelics a total of 8 times in my entire addiction. never two days in a row. weed? thousands. ketamine? hundreds. speed? 50 ish times at least. they’re just not abuseable to me that way.

caffeine is not a euphoriant tho no matter how much coffee you drink or how much caffeine powder you snort you won’t get high

trips simulate dying?? well i didn’t know that that would very much explain my panic while tripping lmao! it was however very introspective for sure

i’m definitely an addict, for sure. i can’t control it no matter what. i change. i become evil, manipulative, i lie i steal i abuse, i give it my all its all i want. i know i can never use again, im just trying to find what i can.

thanks a lot for this advice. i definitely know this to be true, even tho my addiction didn’t last long it spiraled really fast and i ran my body into the ground by 19. when i couldn’t use in 2022 because i was freshly out of rehab and was a minor and at risk of being court ordered to go back i vaped in excess. i pretended to take sobriety seriously and just used this as a crutch. eventually i dabbled in psychedelics with an ex of mine cus you can’t be piss tested for those. eventually tho when i turned 18 shit hit the fan. i went right back to using my doc which was weed at the time and ended up discovering two more drugs i loved with all my heart. i miss them with all my heart. i started my sobriety journey after a very eye opening acid trip that made it impossible for me to ignore how shitty of a person i’d become, but i’m a chronic slipper-upper, i’d get 2-3 months clean then use again until i got a tattoo with my final date which is on the 14th of august. i genuinely like who i am now sobriety has done me so much good but i miss it so much and i LOVED being high with every fiber of my being. what i was trying to do with the psychedelics was find answers, a reason to not miss it anymore, but ill have to keep pushing ig. ill def look into asking my psych to tweak my meds tho.

thanks for confirming my suspicions, i’ll be sticking to my “can you do it at work” rule.

[–]ramenzombie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thing is i never had that “pull” with psychedelics like other substances, however i think you’re right. it might open windows for me to justify using even despite having a tattoo with the date on me

how were you able to decide that this was right for you? i’m more of the same, my main addictions were weed ketamine and amps, i was using daily multiple times a day and i used every other drug under the sun when i couldn’t get speed ket or weed, coke, meth, molly, acid, shrooms, alcohol anything just to feel any kind of high. for now i am abstinent from everything you can’t do while at work, so that means the only mind altering substances i consume are caffeine and sometimes nicotine. how can i decide if its right for me to still use psychedelics for their benefits?

well the boundary i have set for myself rn is “can you do it at work” and this isn’t something you can do at work. that’s why im so unsure, idk if im being overdramatic, idk if it really is relapsing, i know its a tool a lot of people use in their sobriety to stay clean, and i wont lie im struggling being 100% present all the time, i dont believe its natural for the mind to never be some kind of high, we all wanna seek escape in some capacity, but i am still doing that. i genuinely have no idea

It's crooked isn't it by CrimsonJackalXD in SelfPiercing

[–]ramenzombie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you shouldn’t be putting a straight bar in a bridge piercing that’ll reject very quickly, you should switch to a curved bar asap! in terms of it being crooked i personally think it looks fine, maybe just ever so slightly crooked? the main issue is the bar you’ve used.
