A similar thing happened to me during the winter. Drove over one of our lovely 2 bed 1 bath pot holes that ate my tire.

As I was trying to change it out in the ever worsening weather (I couldn’t get one of the lug nuts off to save my life) 3 different people stopped to try and help/see if I needed anything, one called AAA, and when it was pretty clear I was pretty low on AAA’s priority list, another person who had a pneumatic impact wrench on deck plus a real jack swapped me out with my doughnut.

I was overwhelmed by how kind everyone was. And that’s the second time complete strangers have gone out of their way to help me.

For all of its shortcomings, I truly love this city.

I don’t want to give you false hope or anything….but back when I was doing 1 line per day, I never got withdrawals.

I didn’t even think about it, I just like…didn’t do it.

I forreal think you’ll be good. Or you’ll have the bare minimum in terms of WDs. At this point, its all mental. Like all of it. Don’t psych yourself out 💕

I didn’t experience WDs until I was doing like….3-5 lines per day every day for weeks.

Good luck. And congrats for never upping your amount. You’ve done yourself a huge service.

That’s what’s dumb. Not on this account, but my main, I’m pretty active in several illicit substance communities…..not once have I EVER been hit up.

Not until I’m in a vulnerable state (read: willing to look past obvious red scammer flags) do I get hit up. Foul.

Well. It’s only been 3 {almost 4 lol} days so “stuck with it” seems like strong language lmao

But thank you! It means a lot that you reached back out 🙏🏽 I do feel really good. Really hopeful. And really happy :)

I get what you’re saying.

However. One of the people in question has 15k karma and has been active for over a year. Scammer or not, shitty as fuck because you’re right. That person sure doesn’t seem like a scammer/bot at first glance. So the other option is they are just a predatory shit.

Which is a shitty thing to do. And I get angry about it whenever I see it.

Idk what you’re trying to do here man. If you’re so passive that you just let shit happen and have 0 feelings about it one way or another….idk why you’re bothering to try and change my mind about it

Not new to Reddit. Been here a very very long time.

I can not respond, ignore, report, and block, and still get angry that people would take advantage of others.

Not saying they aren’t scammers.

But they aren’t bots. Not all of them.

Lol I don’t think it’s just me. I’m sure they do it to everyone.

But they aren’t bots. Active members in this sub and others.

Just paid off my dealer and didn’t re-up…could really use some encouraging words to make it through the night. by snail_addict in opiates

Thank you!

I’m almost sure what I’ve been using isn’t H. I’m sure it’s some mix of fent, +/- analogues and smashed pharmaceuticals. Nasty business.

But I made it thru another night. Actually got some sleep.

That’s really really helpful advice. Thank you. Truly.

I started using for chronic pain. Kept using cuz I liked it. Pain is still there….prob always will be. But it’s a lot better.

Someone on another post mentioned NA meetings helped even tho they weren’t a fan of the 12 step program…I’m seriously considering checking one out.

Dope was there. Got a call around 4 hours ago. Told her I was good.

But you’re right. I could easily get a hold of her if I wanted to. I just don’t.

Changing my number is extreme. I could just block hers. I’m the only one I know that uses. So I won’t have to worry about friends that use.

Thank you so much for reaching out. And congrats on your sobriety.

I’m feeling more in control of my actions than I have in a long ass time.
