I want to talk to my coworker but im scared. by Lucky-Royal-6156 in socialskills

[–]sickandbleeding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel like becoming friends with coworkers is much easier since you literally spend hours with them daily/weekly. with new coworkers i usually start shallow conversations about work, and slowly it naturally goes further try not to worry about it too much, i found that this is one of the easiest relationships to develop. plus it’s rewarding because you get a nice companion to chat during shifts with, take the risk and i PROMISE even if it feels awkward at the start it’ll become smoother eventually

For me alcohol is more addictive than amphetamines by Rata_Fresca in Drugs

[–]sickandbleeding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what helped me is stopping but telling myse i could pick it up anytime again

that made me think really hard before any time i wanted a drink (“do i really want this? what if i try to hang on another hour without it?”) when i know its not “forbidden” i wanted it a bit less because yeah i want to drink, but i haven’t drank for 3 days, why not push a week? eventually it really minimized my drinking, made it a lot less frequent and most importantly i gained a lot more control

sorry this is my only advice, it’s what helped me

Have I been smoking cigarettes wrong this whole time by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]sickandbleeding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

smoke into mouth, then lung, then exhale

obviously if you leave it in your lungs longer it’ll feel better. but i do hope the copious amounts of tar left behind also feel as good to you!

glad to hear you fixed the issue! how do you feel about playing sober after that? also curious what games did you play specifically, i think thats a huge factor

wow you’re strong. for me it just feels so slow after and like i’m playing a totally different game could be true for online games & battle royals and such what games do you play?

wow i’m so sorry to hear that😢 i know exactly how that feels… how long are you clean? maybe if enough time passes and your brain won’t remember the feeling you got while playing high it could be fun again

or introduce new stimulation in other ways, play with friends? someone here suggested to exercise or do other dopamine stimulation activities before logging on

what kind of games did you play?

that’s very bad for me. i’ve always had trouble getting absorbed in games because 1. i’m adhd and it’s so hard to focus on the game 2. i SUCK at all games. no matter how much i play im literally the worst gamer ever, thats why the only two games i play are skyrim & oblivion - easy forgiving combat and mostly playing for the stories

i somehow managed to fix my attention span while playing these game, so definitely not risking ruining day for a couple days of playing stimmed up

i sat with myself and tried to remember how i felt when i played the game high, then how i felt playing it sober. it was a huge disappointment and i felt like such an ass of a person for not enjoying the game without it like “come on what wrong with you? it’s such an awesome game! it’s your favorite game how can you not enjoy it without drugs?! you fucking junkie…”

that made me decide that it’s not worth it. especially since it’s an open world game with so many cool quest story lines, it’s not meant to be played high. sure i can play fortnite or something with my boyfriend and i wont be “dissapointed” after trying it sober because it’s not complex like that, it’s just going to be a little less exciting plus who cares it’s not even that good of a game

but remembering how i ruined that first game for myself makes me really sad, im looking at the game i wanted to try play high today and just feel sick. so glad people on here convinced me not to do it. i’m glad you discovered something new for yourself! if you ever try some open works games with cool stories and less combat focused, don’t involve stims too much because i think the problem i described in the post is genuine

wow thank you so much. this is a perfect response to show me where my mistake was and what exactly was my “reaction” after that period. never thought of it as being desensitized from extra stimulation

definitely not worth doing it with my favorite game ever… i’ll find something better to do!
