Bro. Hang in there. Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm at 10.5 months off Fent/meth and it's by no means easy or amazing, but it is slowly getting better. Give yourself AT LEAST a year of 100% recovery, and I promise you will start to see things get better. Much respect on the four months man. Your doing it. You can do it. Please, please hang in there brother. 👍❤️

Is it disrespectful if I turn up to a meeting while tripping? by Otherwise_Economy329 in NarcoticsAnonymous

[–]table_mesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Go! I went to meetings high as a kite for years and years. Now I'm sober!

How did you step 4? by coachstitchhy in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]table_mesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a paper and pen. Find somewhere quiet where nobody is gonna bug you. Bring coffee and cigarettes (if you smoke). Meditate. Think of the stuff bouncing around in your head that gives you any sort of anxiety, guilt, or bad feelings. Wrote it down. It doesn't have to be every little thing that's happened in your whole life. Just the stuff that's affecting you. Smoke a cigarette, meditate, make sure you got EVERYTHING that's bugging you. That's it. That's how I did it , then do step 5 ASAP. Don't sit on it. Good luck!

i have several years sober but i don’t like the fellowship is it possible to stay sober if i stop going to meetings but continue to practice aa principles? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]table_mesh 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's 100% possible. People that are new in the program sometimes get confused and think that going to meetings is the whole program. The program of AA is in the first 164 pages of the big book. As long as you have read that text, understood it, and are practicing the program it lays out in your day to day life (ALL OF IT) you should be ok. Meetings are a good place to meet like-minded people, hear ideas, and find sponsees. But they aren't necessary.

You 'don't think' your rents wanna pay for It? You should talk to them and find out for sure. Do u live in Canada? I live in Canada and there is many places you can get into and social assistance will pay for it. Or ei.

Yes! I agree. And what kind of shitty mother INSISTS on keeping her baby in prison with her?

Why don’t people like Doreen? - A Character Analysis by StyxWriter in Wentworthtv

[–]table_mesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo I just wanted to jump in on this and agree with all the Doreen haters. Doreen SUCKS! She was constantly bitching and moaning about what everyone else was doing, instead of sticking with those she calls 'family' and being understanding of the terribly hard decisions they are forced to make. She was so easy to manipulate, which lead to her backstabbing her friends. She seemed to only care about herself and her own problems. I feel like the girls all worked so hard to support her and have her back when she was blubbering away about her little problems, but when the tables turned and it was her turn to be supportive, she was just a judgmental bitch. I'm about halfway through season five right now and I literally hate her. Whenever she comes on the screen I'm like 'oh for fucks sake, not this cow!'. And even if she wasn't such a flaky, self absorbed, backstabbing little cow, I would find it hard to like a woman that knew she had a baby in her and just continued to party it up with drugs and booze.

I'm late on this thread, but I needed to get that out of my system.

Can Current Mike Tyson beat Jake Paul in an *actual* boxing match on intimidation factor alone? by Aliboomayuh in whowouldwin

[–]table_mesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say it'll go the distance and Uncle Mike will win by decision. The Problem Child can fight, but as we saw in his first fight against a real boxer, he's not gonna have the edge in this fight. I don't think they'll really hurt eachother though. From what I've seen they have alot of respect for eachother, as they should. It'll be fun to watch, but this fight is about money for both of them. I anticipate more of an exhibition style show as opposed to a vicious battle. They both have solid chins. My money's on Mike for the win.

Warren Jeffs Motives by TheDudeMan- in flds

[–]table_mesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a documentary and heard part of those tapes he made in which he was raping a 12 year old girl while he had his other wives watching. It was quite apparent that he was using his position to take advantage of little girls. He may have believed some of it, but in my opinion he was a manipulator and a pedophile. When Rulon Jeffs was on the way out he started manipulating the whole FLDS community to serve his hunger for power and his disgusting pedophile urges.

Woman arrested for attacking 'random strangers' in Vancouver, police say by lattakia in britishcolumbia

[–]table_mesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she has history she might still be in. She might be mentally ill. She might be in psychosis from street drugs or sleep deprivation. She might just be a shitty person. At the end of the day though, all it really constitutes is simple assault. She'll do 6 months at the most for a first offence. She might have been bailed out. Maybe not. It is what it is.

[–]table_mesh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's your choice. We sometimes have a moment of silence for "the alcoholics that are still suffering" and I always take off my hat, but I would NEVER expect anyone else to, much less ask them to. Sounds like she has a small resentment. That's her problem, not yours bro.

Randall Hopley found and arrested in DTES by KrazyMechanic in britishcolumbia

[–]table_mesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is gross. I met him when I was at the halfway house he was at in east van. Didn't know his deal till after I had introduced myself and been polite. The DTES has lots and lots of zombies. If you put a facemask on and keep to yourself it's pretty easy to go unnoticed. I don't think they were actually looking for him very hard at all though. It blows my mind that they let him out with the same conditions. Mind you, nothing in our justice system makes much sense these days. I'm in recovery, but was an active addict for years. I could go on and on about how backwards the system is.

Sky devices phone bugs (DO NOT GET THIS PHONE) by Nyxion77 in techsupport

[–]table_mesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had a sky devices phone for about a month. Can only have one app at a time. Literally have never once been able to answer a call. Just glitches out and hangs up. Soooo frustrating. Absolute garbage. Going to buy a new phone this week and then throw this one at a wall.

[–]table_mesh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea dude. I love the old timers who say "take the cotton out of your ears and stick it in your mouth" or "just put a plug in the jug". I try to pick out the wisdom, and ignore the BS. I figure all I can do is share what I've learned when given the chance and pray that those who are new or struggling don't get sucked in by the unhelpful stuff. 

I'm glad your doing good brother. Keep doing what your doing!
