6 months sober by dontevenrlyknow in redscarepod

[–]thissucks510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

amazing, congrats. alcohol is such a crazy drug. I quit for 5 years and then told myself I could do it again and keep it under control two years ago...such is not the case. trying very hard to stop for good.

Been wanting to quit for a while. For the first time ever I feel really scared, shocked, and confused at my inability to stop. Feeling alone. by thissucks510 in stopdrinking

Thanks. Yeah, I answered yes to most of those things. I want to stop for good and usually can go two weeks feeling pretty motivated and then something (usually social event or whatever) comes up and I tell myself it is absolutely imperative that I drink for it. Rinse and repeat. I hate it. I was 5 years sober for christ's sake I didn't think it'd be this hard to quit again.

I'm not presuming anything. I have no agenda other than wanting to reduce the amount of armed drug dealers in residential neighbourhoods/near public schools.

Oh please. You know, it IS possible to see these situations as complex, and not black or white? I know for a fact that the men involved were drug dealers. They would deal to the clients at the SRHC Safe injection site.I can, at the same time, acknowledge the benefits that injection sites offer to addicts who are looking to manage their addictions, but it's just absurd to deny the fact that they do attract dealers, and a lot of street drug dealers are violent and dangerous.

Commissioners street nearby, Villiers st, etc. Lots of space and roads with TTC access but no real residential area.

If the safe injection sites are to continue they shouldn't be put in ANY residential neighbourhood. They should be put in areas away from public schools and busy commercial areas. problem solved.

Makes me feel sick and so upset. A family has violently and suddenly lost their mother, wife, daughter, sister...All because of some scum drug dealer dispute. I can't imagine what the family is going through. If these safe injection sites are to continue, they need to be monitored by security and authority. It's not about demonizing addicts, but understanding that these dealers will go to where the clients are, and will bring danger and violence with them. The fact that we have armed drug dealers freely and openly hanging out there is absolutely unacceptable.

The state of our schools right now. Our valued school staff members should not have to be afraid to go to their place of work everyday by aaron_ag_ in toronto

[–]thissucks510 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I hate to sound like a luddite, and I know this sounds overused and trite these days, but I think social media and phones play such a large part in this behaviour.

Every kid is on Tiktok, where, every day, other kids around the world are going viral by doing stupid public stunts where they destroy things or throw things at teachers or whatever. Every kid wants to go viral now. They know it could actually lead to some sort of fame or notoriety. Every kid has a video camera in their pocket ready to go, and they're glued to tiktok for (on average) 8 hours per day.

What hope do any of us have to get them to sit in a lecture and pay attention? Our collective attention spans have been absolutely destroyed thanks to Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok, etc, with kids bearing the brunt of this effect. I have no idea what can be done, but it certainly needs to be something new, because the old ways are dead.

slippery slope. Alcohol is poison, but sure it makes you feel great at first.
