This is NOT like his video AT ALLLLLLL
Ive seen dandruff shampoo/vitamin c? Does that actually work? Any abnormal tips to try??? Gimme some unhinged tips or SOMETHING 😭😭😭😭
Me and my wife got a cat in the beginning of the year. Precious Baby, morning and night and midday and whenever she wants cuddles. Sprawls out in front of us. Rubs her head all over us. Meows through the door when she hears our keys. Worst trait is she keeps trying to eat my wife's hair.
About a week ago the cat got out of the apartment. We frantically searched the apartment and my wife went to check the hallway, mainly to see if the fire escape was open. She found Baby in the corner of the hallway and brought her back home.
We pieced together that Baby somehow got in the ceiling and blocked off what we thought was her route. My wife was still anxious about this happening again so I suggested we could get cameras, so if it does we can get Baby's escape route and actually block her path. We can also use these to check in while were away to make sure shes not planning an escape while were gone. She also used freepetchipregistry to make sure her chip was usable and had our info.
I was telling my buddy about this and he said it was crazy of us to get cameras for a one time thing. I dont see it that way but I guess I just want to know from other cat owners if we are overreacting?
TCL Flip 4 - I'm still adjusting to the new phone ans my biggest struggle has been the emails. I cant seem to get my Gmail set up so I use my Samsung like a work computer at home lol
Sony Walkman MP3 Player - It was bought secondhand so it has some skipping and static but it makes me feel cool lol I also must brag that I rip records onto this thing :p
Vivitar Digital Camera - just a cheap camera I got from Walmart to capture random moments and get shitty vids/photos of concerts lol
Nintendo Switch Lite - The L button and the right joystick need to get fixed but I can play Animal Crossing and Kirby (sometimes I carry a Steam Deck on me instead)
Planner/keys - well I dont really need to yap here lol
Belkin Portable Charger /cords - MY LIFE SAVERSSSSSS OMG
Pompompurin Cashbag - I started using cash for everything which has made me need my banking app less (I still use it for my paycheck sorting but not spending/saving) and spend less overall
Its been about a month of the switch from my smartphone to this EDC. I still struggle with disciplining myself and not doomscrolling at home but out in the wild I spend SIGNIFICANTLY less time on my phone. I also online shop less, and have found an increase in my interest for physical media such as records and dvds rather than streaming services. I think this is bc I stopped using my phone for these services?
I understand that the record player has a USB plug that goes into the computer. Then what???
Maybe I'm just being selfish but i need to get this out. For context ive been fighting addiction for a WHILE.
Last Wednesday I announced to my friends during the drunk sobbing circle that I haven't been sober for 3 weeks. I was glossed over bc another friend was in more of a crisis bc her boyfriend was making her feel insecure bc he's very nice and she doesn't know if he actually loves her or is just being nice.
We were talking at the end of the night and I said to her that I wanted to talk about my issue on the way home. She ended up walking drastically ahead of me with another friend. I was walking with my best friend (who was right next to me when I announced i wanted to talk about me) and she immediately started talking about her crush.
The next day we all went to the beach and my fiance texted everyone saying "hey as you all know x is struggling with addiction and id really appreciate if you guys kept the hangout substance free" everyone said aw thats sweet and nobody said "hey how is that going btw" but granted I just told them yesterday
Ive been feeling increasingly hurt each day that none of them even checked on me. They didnt even notice I was sobbing in my friends bathroom and on the way home. I want to tell them ive been 5 days sober but somethings holding me back.
Maybe they're sick of the "shes always drunk shes always high shes always trying to be sober". But fucking dammit im sick of "he did this he did that he did this A this T that" and im sick of trivial boy problems being held ib higher status than my addiction. Maybe they are a bigger deal idfk
Anyways im 5 days sober and only my dad and fiance care about that.
Ive recently become OBSESSED with vinyls and I plan on buying one for me and one for my friend who isnt going.
My only problem is im going to the boston roadrunner show tomorrow night, which is a standing/GA show. I thought about buying a tote bag and storing the vinyls in there? But idk if ill have enough for that. Any tips?? I could also just hold them the whole show since ill be in the balcony?
The title says it all and tbh the best i can think is to do some type of goodbye ritual to this damn plant :") any insight??
Ive been told a million ways to get better. Acceptance and letting go, cold turkey, medication and therapy, weening etc
Im starting to feel like im simply not ready to quit. But then will I just stay like this? Will I wake up in 10 years disappointed that im still using?
Wtf do i even do when nothings working and it always creeps back in??
Im addicted to anything: nic, weed, alc. Ive tried being sober and bettering my life a million times. How and where do I get the strength to be sober???
Ive tried exercising, journaling, connecting with nature, going on walks when I want to use, calling support lines, support groups, telling my support system. I cant hold myself accountable and can't discipline myself to upkeep sobriety.
My main issue is I have no motivation to do anything until im under the influence of a substance.
