Dammit. You can’t steal Blairg from me.
I think he’s at a reall aa meeting
If there is no coffee no one would show up lol
He's a free agent.
I've been sober since my 20s. These days, I just use cannabis. Lots and lots of cannabis.
Caffeine is all I use that's why it's allowed. If weed is ever legalized I may use again.
Congrats! I only drink now but I am a heroin addict always nice to see people’s sobriety dateComing up on a year
Shrooms are acceptable...thankfully.
I guess they're not that addictive.Coming up on a year
Shrooms are acceptable...thankfully.
If you get addict to shrooms there is no hope for you
Nah. Some people get triggered if they do ANY drug but that's never been me. Could change any second but I'm comfortable where I'm at now.
I was a junkie for years. And years. Ended up in a bad place and took the opportunity of being away for awhile to quit drinking as well. Honestly the only time I've missed it was when I was in AA meetings and people would go on and on about it. Being away was really good for me but the program is just not my thing. Good to know it's there if I ever go off the deep end again though.
People get additcted to the STUPIDEST shit. Obviously.
Me too. I quit heroin with the help of methadone. Used it correctly and got off it. It’s not the best thing but better than heroin and it’s legal
nice to know I’m not the only junkie here
agreed
to me, sobriety is actually more if I take care of my mental crap. if that's out of control, forget about any substances.
sober off shit for almost five years but not sober.... they call it white knuckling or whatever... had to get my mind right to be "sober"
as far as stupid shit, I'd abuse cough syrup ferchristssake. Anything to get out of the jail that is my brain.
was addicted to methadone too... never tried heroin as far as needles and shit. only needles I used were steroid needles. AGAIN, I just had to be on something to get away from my fucked up brain.Me too. I quit heroin with the help of methadone. Used it correctly and got off it. It’s not the best thing but better than heroin and it’s legal
nice to know I’m not the only junkie here
ahhh well...
but meetings are not for me... they are the most judgemental "non judgemental" places. I have strong opinions but I'll reserve those and say they do help to a point. but you have to do your own thinking.
if anyone here goes to a meeting, I say congrats for trying to better yourself, taske what you need, but LEAVE the rest. I had trouble leaving the stupid shit on the table...
I was in rehab with someone hooked on nuerotin.
Seriously? I laughed but then felt bad.
but seriously?
I mean you might be able to get addicted but that’s a weird thing to take every day.
You couldn’t function or hold a job.
Maybe you could but I know I couldn’t
What were you on methadone for?
I still drink and I drink way too much . If I’m not doing heroin and pay my bills I feel like im ok lol. I have no husband or kids so it only me. If I had kids I’d prolly attempt to stop drinking
Oh I was never prescribed it.... I loved the high I got...much stronger than Vicodin and would last if you ate. again, mentally I'm a trainwreck and just wanted to get out of my head.
It go so bad I got divorced over it... lost my car, family, I was homeless for a while before getting clean... that was fun being homeless in the winter... I'm better now and can't understand why I did that to myself. I don;t care how many mental issued (bipolar II, anxiety, depression, etc) I have it was all my fault. Alcohol was never a problem, but I stay off it to keep other people happy.... and I don;t care. I'm more of a mental fuck up than an addict, since I don't have to have it... but I do gotta get out of my head every so often.
yeah...if it wasn;t only you I bet you'd stop. If I didn;t have my family that took me back, I'd say fuck it. boredom can be a major bitch
Yeah I get it. Boredom’ sucks. I was lucky I had a great family that helped me out.
Opiates are an awful thing
Coffee is gross
wow another coffee hater... I can't stand the smell of it
It tastes nasty to me. I hate it. Smell is okay though
I actually don’t mind the smell just hate the taste.
I just said this
That's crazy. Well not crazy...I know people would seel there methadone/suboxone all the time but I just always just used them to get clean.
I'm w/ you 100% on the meetings. Totally understand the appeal and how they're a great for some people but I just couldn't get by some of the trappings. I imagine it varies a lot from city to city but. It's a very hierarchical system. Understandably, but not for me at the moment.
and nicotine... neither of which I do... I learned to adult and brewed my first pot of coffee at an AA meeting. It's good stuff to know. I drink my Coke Zero and other caffeine drinksI agree but don’t say that at an aa meeting
it’s the only drug they can do
I only drink copious amounts of booze because I was told "all the cool kids do it". I've never looked back. Mainly because I can't keep my balance.
