I went to rehab for booze in November. Would be happy to talk if you need someone!
Self Improvement
A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
Holy shit man. I have been there where the dealer starts telling you you need to slow down. Yeah, sort your shit out. If there is any other thing you like to luxuriate with that isn't a drug I would aim to do that on your first day off the sauce. For example a great big, unhealthy home cooked meal that you eat in front of a movie or something.
call the detox place or you'll die.
OK so I called. I asked if they take Medicaid (they do) and then…I froze up. I said I’d call back.
They do both inpatient and outpatient, with the inpatient facility being a bit of a drive out of town. Person on the phone asked which of those I’m looking for, and that’s when I froze. I’m not afraid or anything, I just don’t know what to say lol.
call again tomorrow if they are open or youre a pissbaby!! write a little script to follow if you must, bullet points help me, coward!! you did great job calling and im proud of you! now take care of yourself dick! (i dont know how to cyberbully)
Lol
I find that people are often very patient and understanding if you tell them that you're having a difficult time just talking about the issue. I mean, they're often in these jobs because they enjoy helping people.
Anyway, you are doing very well. You are stronger than you think you are. You are powerful and beautiful and terrible and your seven unholy mouths shall sing The Song That Ends The Earth.
I'm going to quit smoking on sunday, so as a fellow quitter I have your back.
Do eeeet! Before the state makes you. That's what happened to me and I spent a year in drug court. Probably the best thing that ever happened to me, but it SUCKED. So, get your ass in gear, comrade.
Best of luck to you!
also, sms'ing is probably not good opsec, do you have a matrix account?
enjoy your nap, ill be back to call you a pissbaby on a few hours.
do it! i know you can, i know you have it in you. if you posted here it shows you want to change, so follow through!
You know it's time. Get it done.
can you arrange for them to call you at a specific time? that's probably more sustainable and if they don't have that set up maybe you can induce them to do so and that'll help other future people.
did you do it???
No imma try and do it tomorrow.
Ok I wasn't gonna do the cyber bully thing but really? come on. Tomorrow is not 4 days ago. That's pretty pathetic of you to ask your comrades to debase ourselves into bullying a comrade and you dont even have the decency to go through with it for days? fuck me. call the fucking rehab do it now. I suppose I shouldn't feel bad cyber bullying you because apparently you aren't a comrade. A comrade wouldn't ask for help to do something and not hold up his part. I have no qualms about bullying a lib.
not for you allthetimesivedied
did I do alright? I feel a bit bad like maybe I went to far but they asked for it.
It hurts but I need it.
