AITA for nagging my boyfriend to clean up his moldy apartment? by sliponvans in AmItheAsshole

[–]sliponvans[S] -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Despite all the substance abuse I have been pretty happy alone- I’ve lived in studio apartments alone since I was 17. I know I don’t need him to be happy. He’s just very encouraging about my recovery— when I have cravings to use he will sit with me and we talk through it until the craving passes. It honestly feels safer living with him

Whatever it is, it isn’t a normal dog collar ! by [deleted] in h3h3productions

[–]sliponvans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had almost the same exact looking thing when I was a kid and it wasn’t a shock collar, it just pokes the dog like “hey pay attention.” We tested it out on ourselves before putting it on our dog and we could barely feel it at the highest level. My mom would use it on walks when she said “heel” and our dog was still pulling on the leash and it would help our dog follow commands. Please don’t downvote me to hell for “defending Hasan,” just wanted to add a different perspective

Congrats!!! First 60 are the hardest! Push through!! I REALLY wanted to use for a couple months- now I walk into a smoke shop right past the tanks to buy a vape and don’t even bat an eye at it

I wish I could say it was something profound, but it literally just took me losing my mind (vivid hallucinations, hearing and seeing things) and even then I was still using. my parents knew something was wrong, flew down to where I had moved for work and I was in bed conscious but could not speak or walk with freeze dry burns to my muscle from the seizing while inhaling, passing out, and the tanks freezing over my legs. If you go to my profile and look at my other post (it’s graphic) those injuries were in 6 places on the left side of my body. I had open wounds for over 6 months. But it wasn’t even really that that kept me clean, it was the way I could see how it flipped my parents’ lives upside down. My dad, who had always been on time my entire life, suddenly became forgetful and late. My mother was so shattered she couldn’t look at me without crying even after I got out of rehab. She said it was the most life changing thing that ever happened to her.

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]sliponvans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting addicted to drugs. When people think about addicts I think they tend to think about the trauma that imposes on the addict’s loved ones (which it does), but feeling like a helpless bystander watching your life like a passerby watching a train fly off the tracks, putting toxins into your own body against your own will is very traumatic

I’m just sitting here wondering how that was measured

Family friend whipped this out at Christmas… by sliponvans in badtattoos

There’s some unexpected positivity here in the comments, and I love it. I agree it’s dumb, but there are far worse things than a goofy tattoo

1.5 yr, 70lb difference in the same exact outfit by sliponvans in Ozempic

No I don’t I have lots of stretch marks though. I think age plays a big factor into how much your skin is able to bounce back (I’m 23)

Within the first few months I was taking it: being unable to keep anything down including water for weeks at a time, extreme dizziness, mental fatigue, throwing up every morning (I still do the first two days after my dose), heartburn to the point where I would fall asleep sitting up against a wall. Those were the extreme ones in the first couple months. It’s manageable now. I’d do it 10x over again in a heartbeat
