Vent here as needed

Bumper cars and scissors dance? LMAO! Coming out was plenty sufficient! Thanks for the laugh!!!

Im right there with you man. Its hard facing everything at once. But I see the breakup as being a way for us to start anew. If we face all these emotions and stress at once then life can only get better. Stay up dude.

I got off the phone with bestie a little while ago. She called to check in as she said she had a dream that meant I was going to have a bad day and she was completely on point! Today was horrible. My lack of sleep is killing me!!! My body just shut down today. My motivation was at a negative 2, my super close friend in NY told me he thought he was ODing last night, girls day ended up being bed bound day, and then when boyfriend got home we got in massive fight. My anxiety and stress was at an all time high that I flipped out, slammed the door (something I havenā€™t fone since I was a teenager), and was in Miami in 7 minutes. (Thatā€™s about half the time it would normally take.) Iā€™ve tried everything short of a tranq. I just need sleeeeep! :disappointed:

Thanks @Oliverjava! I was also doing opiates. Iā€™m not a tea drinker but Iā€™m desperate. Is there anything you can recomend? Maybe if I mix it with a mg. of melatonin?

Try ā€œrooibosā€ tea with a bit of honey before bed. Itā€™s awesome and healthy too.

So I leave treatment tomorrow morning to go into a sober living. Iā€™m not sure how I feel. Am I happy to leave treatment 100%. Am I ready 95%. I just have no idea what this place looks like. I have to get used to living with different people and I donā€™t think my finances will allow me to be there

Iā€™ve been thereā€¦:confused: actually Iā€™m still there right now. My boyfriend of 5 years and I broke up and I just wanted to numb myself so I got a bunch of pain pills and said fuck it. Itā€™s been a habit of mine, on and off for like 2 years. I quit once for like 6 months, then I relapsed and here I am today. Iā€™m only on day 2 and I donā€™t know if I can do it.

Great topic!

I was looking at this sight on July 5th through the eyes of drunk. I felt that there wasnā€™t enough on here for someone looking for recovery on that day. I started reading past topics that I thought that person might want to read. I bumped those topics that were relevant to the situation at hand.

And calling people assholes IS against the rules.

Flagging is the responsibility of our members, it is how moderators are notified of posts that do not meet community standards. Members read way more posts than most moderators. The moderators rule on the flags, we donā€™t usually create them (tho we sometimes do). Flagging is an important part of how we, as a community, keep the forum safe and supportive for our members. We all have a responsibility for helping to keep this space sobriety, support and community focused. Thank you to all of you!

Edited to addā€¦not really a response to you chatterboxā€¦more in general. :slightly_smiling_face:

Ha! I wish folks were more excited when they see I responded to a post of theirs. Le sigh. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes::innocent::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
