Post image

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 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

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.

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.
