Trying to get my life back on track with drugs

[desertrunner]

You sent it to me by accident; I would drop the sexy part and probably go with the shoulder.

Yes, I was looking hard at that design, but it is too retro for me and I am more "tactical". I am still looking for the right flashlight tat design that will fit me just right.

A 12 Step program coupled with cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective way to treat addiction. Look, nobody shows up at an AA meeting because they are winning at life. If you want to get sober find sober people and ask them how they did it. Odds are they participate in some sort of 12 step program. It’s not for everyone and if you can get sober or control your addiction some other way, go for it.

Don’t do it Les

You probably have never been to an AA 12 step meeting. I get what you read online, but as I said earlier over half there are court ordered. They hate the meetings. Yeah, you will get some oldtimer who takes you under his wing. I got hustled for a $70 Dennys tab by these fuckers. You sit in a meeting reading a Big Book, most of which is completely fictionalized from the 1930s, yes 100 years ago. The book is ridiculous, like the chapter of the 30 year old drunk who stopped drinking and made millions and then started drinking at age 55 and was dead in a year. As if the author followed his life journey, Bill Wilson, he made the whole fucking thing up. Bill Wilson banged many of women in AA, and the pattern has never stopped. I remember talking to a guy right before I stopped going to meetings, he said it was the best singles club on the planet.

AA isn't for everyone. In fact, no addiction solution is for everyone.

I can't speak to any kind of drug or alcohol addiction, because that stuff never appealed to me. I have had alcoholic beverages fewer than 20 times in my entire life, and there's only been 2 times when I was anywhere close to drunk. I've never done any recreational drugs, and have no interest in it, including weed.

However, I do know when it comes to other "lifestyle change" situations, such as diet/exercise, some people are helped by coaches/groups, and others aren't. I'm in the latter category. I don't need direction or encouragement to lose weight. I know what I need to do, and it's just a matter of actually doing it. And some person hassling me to do so will just irritate me, and not motivate me.

If I were a drunk, I wouldn't benefit from AA.

However, many others are the type who benefit from some sort of structured recovery program, and for that AA is often a good choice. Yes, there's people at meetings who are mandated to be there by the court, but let's throw those out. The people voluntarily there actually do want to change, and in some cases, they really do, at least for the short or medium term.

The truth is that limitles is going to die soon if he continues on his current path. He isn't young, and we've all seen how much alcohol is part of his life. However, as we've also seen, he is thin and otherwise doesn't look like he's in bad shape for his age. Anything that works for him would be a step in the right direction.

Zero truth behind this statement. I make a post involving alcohol's opposite, trip report with no bull, time lining an addict's behavior to another substance.

First off, back off.
It was an honest and personal trip report that only spelled loser or fool. Alcohol was almost not present. I binged like a 1997 coke commercial.

Longevity? I'll will moderate the lowering into the grave of your massive carcass in a super-support coffin if and when called upon.

Just as soon pass.


The opening statement says it all.
"I can't speak to any kind of drug or alcohol addiction"

So yeah, whilst crashing, I immedaiatelty put out the call for
captain friendly. Two days of that and then not that
and here we are.

Btw, the past ten days include two law enforcement visits, one successful and an $85.00 Dr. no show charge.

I live in Canada, fuck you, no bills funded by government.
I got my own shit

[limitles]

Let's consider Todd Druff separated from sugar for 30 days?

How many murders, homicides?
Child abuse maybe, server abuse absolute

The conceit would be the only thing not dripping from his mouth

Is there a scientific limit for fat? An equation, formula etc.?
Drive/thru???

My doctor once said to me- Desertrunner, it comes down to 2 things- Diet and exercise.

Dynamite advice.

Should send druff as a referral, whatever diets he's been self motivated to engage in don't include those tips and he keeps packing on the fats.

Let's start an all drug thread..

Propofol is cool if you got the hook up

90% of all weight loss is based on staying away from carbohydrates. I am near my college weight now, 178 lbs. Got like 11 to go, 16 down. I simply have given up carbs. Now it has not been easy, everyone where I was at last night at a BBQ was eating hamburgers and hotdogs on bun, then corn of the cob, potato salad, etc.. Here I am knife and forking a burger with a tomato on it. It was tough. especially the corn on the cob on the grill. But you just deal with it.

And always- Pray for Druff!
