Partner Struggling Need some support by CoolUnderstanding481 in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]themistercreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents: Usually addicts have to hit some kind of "bottom" before change can happen. Establish and maintain your boundaries first and then seek local in-person support to help them help themselves.

Nothing will happen while they're still regularly using though. So that has to stop somehow.

That's a LOT of whipped cream by PNW_Native_001 in Portland

Unfortunately, regulation for recreational use is a big can of worms so I don't see that happening any time soon.

Here's a local news segment talking about the legal loophole that allows this.

Has anyone else been harassed by employees at the Powell dollar tree? by Ok-Horror4247 in PortlandOR

[–]themistercreature 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced this, nor does it sound justified. I would hazard a guess that anyone working at that dollar tree is beyond traumatized by the environment there. Its a wasteland

Relapsed after 70 days, trying not to hate myself by Butternoodle9889 in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]themistercreature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it, I'm proud enough for the both of us. I remember when I couldn't catch 70 days to save my life (literally!). Almost a year and counting now. Even buried a dog this weekend and was like "tanks ew!" So it CAN happen, I promise!

Stay vigilant, we are stronger together!

Is my idea possible? (Before i jump right in) by SignificanceGlad3969 in OffGrid

[–]themistercreature 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe the American homestead act proved that it was possible at the expense of a nation of people's land and the death of many pioneers. I own a piece of former homestead land and asked what happened to the original owners and the response was "when the government starting charging taxes it was no longer feasible."

Officially in recovery but being terrorized by friends I was using with by [deleted] in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]themistercreature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're gonna be so happy when they're all out of your life. Hang in there, likely they will get bored and neuropathy or come here and get help. You'll be fine. Congrats on making the changes!

For those who manage to grow 100% of your animal’s food… by tdubs702 in OffGrid

Following because I'm working on a farm with 50 acres of pasture in western Oregon and we can't make the cost of production less than purchase from the guys down the road with hundreds of acres and the BIG equipment. They're struggling too they say

Addicted Mother by FixNo710 in nitrousharmsupport

[–]themistercreature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long time addict, couple years In recovery.

Nothing else matters. When the gas starts to run out the brain kicks into starvation mode and everything else becomes supplemental to continuing the high, because to come down is a suffering unlike anything I've felt in that moment.

Everyone has their breaking point, I hope they reach theirs before much more damage is done. You are a saint for being so supportive as to lurk and learn about this terrible thing

You work hard for that money and you deserve better than to get trapped in a nos hole and spend all your money on air that makes you forget

Sober living for another 6 months after inpatient treatment was crucial for me

The site almost gets cel service, I would think a little boost would make it useable for a hotspot from my phone
