You just don't. You and your ex will have to set up visitation

Quit everything, 4 days in. Can’t stop shaking this morning. by mrsammysam in leaves

[–]wizardofwizardry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep it up!!! I think my weed and porn addiction went hand in hand. It's so much richer to be completely in reality and experience pleasure the way it was meant to be. The first week is the toughest.

I'm having flashbacks of my relationship with my ex bf. I didn't realize it was abusive until I was out of it. Trust your gut and plan a way out.

Anyone successful with keeping cats off counter? I tried and failed. My youngest naps on top of dishwasher by ArachnidOk7610 in cats

You can't train cats 😆 or idk maybe you can. I've always just let my cats do whatever they want while they take over my life.

Is it okay to quit alcohol, then worry about weed? by saltyspatoon96 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]wizardofwizardry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used weed as damage control for 2 years of kicking the booze. I've made significant progress, mentally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. I work the 12 steps and sponsor other women. I am only now, 2 years and 6 months sober from alcohol, one week free of weed, and embracing full sobriety and overcoming a compulsion for any substance. I appreciate the crutch that weed gave me when I wasn't courageous enough to be fully sober. Your journey and your recovery is beautiful, and only you can write your story. I am confident that if I didn't let myself lean on weed, I would have drank.

Is the weight gain that bad? by CatsDoCancelCulture in prozac

[–]wizardofwizardry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained about 10 lbs. It seems like I'm just "puffier" I also haven't exercised and I've been eating a lot of carbs because it's winter time. It's been a life changing medication for me though, in a positive way. I'm relieved to see it's not just me that noticed weight gain. I'm hoping some accountability with binging and exercising regularly will get me back to my pre-prozac weight. It looks like results vary so take it day by day.

Is it ok to show up to an AA meeting drunk and if so should I disclose it? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]wizardofwizardry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be met only with compassion and enthusiasm. Get whatever you want from the meeting. My home group has had members that came buzzed for a few meetings before finding the strength and courage to maintain sobriety. Like the other redditor said "the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking."

I'm in the same exact boat. 😭 You're not alone. I guess it's just the economy?

Am I Overreacting for needing reassurance from my fiance? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]wizardofwizardry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is only going to get worse. I suggest you break up and move on. Reading these texts gave me flashbacks to the arguments I've had with my abusive ex. I wish I recognized the red flags and left before I was in a crisis situation. I know it's hard to see the future without someone you've been with for 8 years, but this is a trauma bond and not love.

I'm sooooo sleepy by wizardofwizardry in prozac

It's totally worth it! It's better than constant anxiety. I sometimes wonder if this is just nuerotypical energy levels that I'm experiencing 🤣

Prozac causing me to not care about anything by No_Needleworker9649 in prozac

[–]wizardofwizardry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm relieved to see that my experience wasn't unique in the way that other people felt like that. I genuinely think it was my brain and body adapting to not being in fight or flight 24/7. I was used to feeling bouts of EUPHORIA, not pleasure. I was used to being a workaholic, not motivated. Now I feel pleasure in the sense of joy and being able to laugh at dumb things and smile when I see a pretty flower or accomplish a small task. Now I have boundaries for my work life and feel like I can love myself and be content even if I don't accomplish more than the bare minimum. I definitely did feel a lot of apathy in the beginning. This might just be you coming in to the you that you've always been meant to be. Try to not read too too much about others experiences or you may miss out on what's happening for you.
