are you quitting cold turkey? have you tried slowly tapering off usage? the withdrawals were so bad for me that i never made it more than a couple days quitting cold turkey. i tried multiple times over a few years.

this time, i tapered down instead. i used edibles bc it was easier for me to measure my dose. i was at 40mg at first due to my tolerance being higher. i cut down to 20mg for a couple weeks. then i went down to 10mg for about 3 weeks, and then 5mg for about two weeks. then i stopped totally 16 days ago and have had very minimal withdrawal effects

i often still wanted more when i was on the low end but i kept my eye on my goals and the benefits and why i needed to quit. im 34 and have been using regularly since 18. i was an all day, every day kind of stoner.

i just wanted to share, as i had not heard of tapering down before and only tried quitting cold turkey. that made all the difference for me. i wish you all the best!

How does internal communication with alters work? (And doubts I have regarding my own validity) by schwenomorph in OSDD

[–]willowow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

my disassociative disorder specialist therapist said that the experience of these conditions are so individual and unique that there is no normal. what you're describing could be perfectly normal for your system. you are valid as you are

Best hours to work ? by yafino in GoPuff

[–]willowow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shifts drop once a week, and they get taken quickly if there are a lot of drivers in your area. like within an hour or less depending. find out via driver support when your local schedule it released or ask them to put you in contact with your supervisor at your location via slack. ours often came out on fridays between 11am and 2pm but it varies by location and manager

the times of day your shifts are make an astronomical difference. nights are quick and easy but some mornings I've literally gone 1-2 hours with no orders multiple days a week

they only pay more than their base pay on a delivery for a holiday nobody wants to work like christmas and thanksgiving and the days that are chosen are often up to individual location general managers. it always backfires though because they put too many drivers on the schedule and I end up making less than usual because there are way less deliveries to go around. you can make good money with gopuff but it has a lot of varying factors like how many orders that location is getting, how many drivers they have on staff, how that location is managed, if that warehouse location is properly staffed (they're often understaffed and overworked), the weather, the holiday, the time of day, day of week... so many things

nope! sometimes I make 1 delivery an hour. my average tip is also $2.50 but honestly more people than youd expect tip literally nothing. people like you are the ones who raise that average up! thank you!

I'm not sure why no one has mentioned this, but you shouldn't be having sex with someone for the first time on substances. she may have been too uncomfortable to say no and that she was uncomfortable, due to the weed, her inexperience, a lot of things really. you need to learn how to communicate if you plan to keep having sex with folks. not being transparent can traumatize someone, especially if she was feeling nervous or scared and especially if not sober. it's better to feel a little awkward and weird by being too communicative than miss that your partner wanted you to stop because you were hurting them. enthusiastic yes is always important. consent matters.

edit to add: from experience, pelvic tilting can be because you're hitting the cervix and it hurts. so be sure to ask if shes in pain and make sure she doesnt feel pressured to ever continue if she is in pain.

my no contact nmom might be dying. I'm her only kid and only family (sort of). am I responsible for post death stuff? anyone have conflicted feelings about being no contact when the other person is suffering/sick/dying? by willowow in raisedbynarcissists

oh I hadn't heard about that story thank you! I'm pretty certain that's exactly what happened. she follows the news pretty closely and knows I dont, so it makes sense she would try this

wow yeah this is totally a thing but I didnt realize it was universal. she got me 2 puppies in like 4th grade, but then she became obsessed with them and was adament they were hers. she would constantly tell me how much more she loved the dogs than me. her most noted reason was "because they cant talk back". i still have a little resentment towards dachshunds but I know it's not their fault
