Hi everyone. Tomorrow I will be checking into a hotel to let the withdrawals go for about 12 hours before I take my prescribed meds to quit. I don’t want to be in front of my wife and toddler while going through the withdrawals.

I wanted to know if anyone had any advice, as I’ve never done this before. I am prescribed clonipin, and prescribed gabapent bottle with some left. I also have magnesium and a range of B vitamins and tums.

I need this to work. I need my life and personality back. I want to get back out to running on trails. I don’t want to worry about how much I have left and when I need the next dose to feel normal.

I made a huge mistake and now, two years later, here we are. It’s embarrassing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just spent some time digging into how cleaning contracts are won, and it seemed like it was really about timing. Not price, not or the company's website website.

I feel like no one is using this, but I could be totally wrong, so keep me honest. When a company signs a lease on new office space, the build-out shows up in your city's building permit records weeks or months before anyone moves in. New clinic, new gym, new restaurant, same deal. That's the exact window when nobody has a cleaning vendor yet.

If your city is on Socrata (Chicago, Austin, Seattle, SF, NYC, and a bunch of others), you can pull this yourself for free. Go to your city's open data portal and add the right filters, and each row gives you an address and usually a work description like "interior buildout for medical office, 4,200 sqft."

Then it's just some detective work -- figure out who manages the property, send a note offering a post-construction clean as the foot in the door. Post-construction cleaning leads into the recurring contract more often than cold-calling ever will, because you're first.

Compare that to $40 a lead for the same info, shared with four competitors, three weeks late.

Anyone else prospecting off permit data? If so, I'd love to hear what's worked and what you're doing.

I live near Pomona high school and I was just sitting in my living room as I heard too extremely loud planes. I looked out my window and it was two HUGE planes flying right next to each other that looked like they were military aircraft.

They were flying significantly lower than I’ve ever seen a plane fly in this area. Does anybody know what’s going on?
