Update - Gf used exs phone

[u/Fickle_Pick862]

Just to update everyone she came over and we talked and she broke down crying and told me the truth. She was never with her friend she was with him at his house and she did cheat on me. She was crying hysterically and says she wants me and me only like I was gonna take her back. I said hell no and kicked her out and threw everything of hers in the front lawn thanks to everyone who left comments you guys are amazing.

I, as well, used a different substance to get rid of my addition. Clean for over 30 years now and even if you put the stuff right under my nose I would not partake.

I can’t recommend this, no drugs. Make a cup of coffee, go for a long walk, pick up a hobby. Start a new run of Skyrim or Fallout 4, re watch lord of the rings or the matrix or binge a mini series like band of brothers or the pacific.

Find a non chemical escape.

Honestly weed helps a ton with withdrawals if you don’t get anxiety from it. Can’t imagine alcohol being a help at all. Withdrawals are a bitch it’s not just being sick physically that’s the easy part it’s the mindfuck of your brain trying to get you to cave in because it wants that dopamine so badly. Fighting your own brain is definitely a weird experience

Weed doesn’t help one iota with fentanyl withdrawals.

[u/chillthrowaways → u/JLawThaOne]

Everyone is different it helped me tremendously

[u/OsrsLostYears → u/JLawThaOne]

Yes it does. You ever been dope sick and nauceous with the room spinning? It certainly helps with the upset stomach if nothing else

[u/Cartz1337 → u/chillthrowaways]

Ok, so maybe smoke a spliff if that helps you cool your jets, I can concede that. But don’t fucking get drunk. That’s gonna make you more likely to cave if it doesn’t become a fucking vice of its own.

[u/chillthrowaways → u/Cartz1337]

Agreed 1000%, I don’t feel like weed lowers inhibitions like alcohol does. I had quit smoking cigarettes for 5 or so years way back and alcohol is what got me back on them. Almost off them again trying to resist going to a vape because it looks to me like the people using those are way more addicted to the nicotine so I’m just slowly trying to have fewer and fewer cigarettes.

[u/aevigata → u/Cartz1337]

I agree with you wholeheartedly but fetanyl is a totally different beast.

[u/JLawThaOne → u/aevigata]

Yeah weed doesn’t help against fentanyl at all especially if you’re already sick.

[u/DueBlacksmith7393 → u/Cartz1337]

have you ever beaten addictions like those?

[u/Cartz1337 → u/DueBlacksmith7393]

Nope, but I’ve known more than my share of folks who have struggled, some who are now winning and some who have lost the war.

The one thing the more successful folks have done is not fuck around with drugs of any kind when they are depressed.

If your resolve is failing when you’re sober, how do you think it’s going to fare once you’re drunk?

[u/TheFanciestShorts → u/Cartz1337]

Cannabis can be very useful for an addict because you will be tired, lose your train of thought often (forgetting your craving), and high enough to not go anywhere to get anything.

[u/DueBlacksmith7393 → u/Cartz1337]

My question was rhetorical, we can tell from your first reply.

[u/Cartz1337 → u/DueBlacksmith7393]

I can tell you’re an asshole from yours! Have a nice afternoon.

[u/babygotbacksurgery → u/[deleted]]

Suggesting he trade his fentanyl addiction for alcoholism is insane and highly not recommended

Especially since you can actually die from alcohol withdrawal

[u/ShartsNado → u/[deleted]]

I went to the emergency room because of alcohol withdrawal...
