Made it this far, and I STILL ponder from time to time if a puff would make me feel better, but I remember how I felt and what made me want to quit

I was a stoner for years from 19-31, and I don’t want the ruminating thoughts coming back. Intrusive thoughts, terrible anxiety, bad sleep, and paranoia

I just wish every thought of still wanting to do it sometimes would go away

I’d assume alcoholics have it like that when they’re at an event and think “oh one drink would be nice right now” but how destructive that 1 drink can be

I’m on vacation in Oahu and somehow managed to bring my entire CPAP setup except the actual mask frame for my ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask

I have:

AirSense 11 machine
hose/tubing
headgear
cushion
power supply

…but the frame itself is sitting at home. So I basically can’t assemble the mask at all.

I’m kind of desperate because I rely heavily on CPAP and I’m trying to figure out what my options are tonight/tomorrow.

Any CPAP/medical supply stores on Oahu that stock F20 frames?

Can urgent care or sleep clinics help with emergency CPAP equipment?

Appreciate any advice.

Has anyone been in this situation before while traveling?

Perhaps the second part answers the what was your wake up call” question, but really, what was it for you? Did you find out you had type 2 diabetes? Heart disease? A heart attack? Stroke?

I’ve been athletic my whole life, and the stress of the past few years has made me balloon.

I’m 6’2 and up to 330 lbs. I feel dizzy, uncomfortable, and just tired all the time. I can still lift heavy weight and stuff, but I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I can’t even chase my 3 year old son around the park without getting winded or my knees hurting.

I’m almost 33 now, and from 5th grade through high school I lived with my grandparents.

I had what I’d think was a good childhood with the exception of my parents issues with drugs, domestic violence, and all that good stuff that lead me to live with my grandparents.

Any way, my grandma HATED to see me or my cousins watching daytime TV. It was a rule that there was no TV allowed during daytime, as there were chores to do, and it was better to be outside or getting something done.

At that time, she viewed daytime TV as “trash” because we had basic cable and all that was on during the day was Jerry Springer, Maury, COPS, and other talk shows.

Once I hit college, I moved away and finally had my freedom to do as I please.

At 29, I married my wife, and although she is great and everything I could ask for, it is like my Grandma all over again!

Any time I chill and watch TV, she has to find something for me to do, say there is this and that do, or say the dreaded words “Can you…”

I’m not the only one, I’ve seen memes about this, my friends say the same about their wives, and my coworkers complain about this

Why does it kill a woman to see a man lying down relaxing watching TV?

EDIT:

I indeed make sure the chores are done, work 40 hours a week, handle all of the finances, and cook

Another note, this isn’t just me as mentioned… friends and coworkers also talk about this

I want to get the Rogue timer, but not sure what is a better option since I see some bad reviews.

Give me some suggestion’s please
