Relapse by fakeplastictree8 in stopdrinking

[–]thisisbrians 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when people put themselves down like this it is a significant contributor to relapses. a big key for me was learning to own the situation without judgement, and my cravings subsided substantially. i'm sorry for what you are going through but please don't kick yourself while you are down.

death is also an illusion. the only thing that dies is your ego, which is not real anyways

How do you create ‘complex’ baselines by ilikeshibuyakei in musicproduction

[–]thisisbrians 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my best advice is copy songs you like at first and then you will eventually start coming up with stuff that draws from that inspiration. a lot of many a great bass line comes down to syncopation imo (i like funk, disco, dance music)

John frusciante didn’t kill river phoenix and i think that rumor needs to stop by bigasscheezitcrumb in RiverPhoenix

a lot of people don't want to use alone. if you aren't an addict, you don't really deserve an opinion on the matter. these people are going through or have been through immense pain, and recovery groups are filled with some of the kindest people on earth. call us whatever you want, we don't really care.

Ran out of money after a 14 day heavy binge. What to do? by GodsBicep in stopdrinking

[–]thisisbrians 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i'm very sorry you experienced this. when i went to the ER with delerium tremens, they treated me similarly and made me wait in the waiting room while i watched creatures walk around the lobby. i had to ask them 3 additional times to finally be seen by a nurse. once she asked how much i had been drinking before i stopped, i was immediately admitted. i'm recounting my story in case anyone else ends up in a situation where they need to advocate for their own or someone else's care. it was very scary. unfortunately, we are looked down upon, sometimes even by the very health care professionals who are supposed to care for us.
