My partner of three years admitted he is addicted to weed 6 months ago. He admitted to his family for the first time at his addiction for four years as well just recently. I thought it was just at social gatherings since I knew he dabbled in it a bit but I was wrong. It’s been six months he has been improving and went from sometimes daily to weekends. He has his rough spots just like last week he smoked for a week straight while I was gone to visit family. He got stressed he was gonna cave in to the point he got stressed he reached for weed. It’s been six months and I honestly don’t know how much to wait since weed is a dealbreaker. I am desperate to suggest him new things to try to see if it would work. Cause we both know if he doesn’t quit this relationship won’t work which unfortunately probably doesn’t help with him quitting. But when he smokes at work, driving, and hides it I can only put up with so much, I am not willing to get married until it gets solved. I’m torn cause I get mad at times when he smokes and hides it but I am slowly getting better at being supportive. He tried therapy but complains it’s all talking about the same emotion thing over and over again then he’s left with nothing, no steps to take, he feels directionless after. He is going to see a psychiatrist to see if there is something more to this that he doesn’t know. For those that have stopped their weed addictions what are things that helped? Is weed a thing that people quit but often relapse and do again with it being literally everywhere you go? Those that are supporting partners struggling with this how long did u give them? Did they ever succeed in quitting? I’m feeling clueless on how much time to give him to get better obviously id want to give him eternity but unfortunately i know i cant be with someone who smokes 24/7 and have to move on with life. Any recommendations or advice would mean the world to me :)

Originally from Saskatchewan where people are screaming for nurses. I’ve met my partner in Lethbridge so can’t move and am deciding on nursing. I got accepted into a LPN program but see no LPN postings in Lethbridge through AHS. Do I have a chance on getting a job as a LPN in Lethbridge? I took a degree already that didn’t guarantee me a job, so really can’t go into any more schooling after this so want to make sure this is a stable job that I can get into. Thanks.

Looking for lower cost options for online therapy companies so far I see green shield is $90 an hour is there any other companies like this? $160 sessions unfortunately just aren’t in the budget. Particularly looking for solution focused, CBT and DBT options. Thanks!

My fiancé of two years has been struggling with his weed addiction for roughly four years now. After breaking up with his ex that was verbally abusive roughly 5 years ago he started weed and got addicted. He has been improving, at first he would do it daily but over the past half a year when he opened up to me about his issue he has it narrowed down to the weekends. At first when he confronted me about his issue I thought potentially it was due to his past trauma but the more I’m with him the more it seems to be general anxiety and cravings to cope with it. He tried medications but it messed him up emotionally and he did things he would have never done if unmedicated. So medications is not an option. His mom is diagnosed with anxiety and states that therapy is helping her. He tried it for roughly four months and got fed up with “and how do you feel” comments with no solutions or methods to cope with it. Is there any type of therapy out there that can help him open up, help battle his weed addiction, negative thoughts, and guilt from past mistakes with goal and solution focused therapy? We are doing couple therapy but hoping to find a solution for him for individual therapy cause right now he is against therapy and claims it makes it worse for those reasons. Any recommendations on specific therapists that have worked for you? Thanks guys :)

Taking a week long camping trip in July. Looking for quieter camping spots within a 6 hour drive. I have already checked out Waterton, Fernie, and Dutch creek in crowsnest pass. Can handle some crowds understand everywhere will be busy but hoping for places with less crowds ( not Banff). Have thought about going to Kananaskis, Yoho & Golden area (I know it’ll be crazy busy so looking at other options). Maybe Kootenay area or crowsnest pass? (just unsure where the hidden gems are). Would love recommendations on your favourite areas within the 6 hour radius of Lethbridge or campgrounds for tenting! Preferably in the mountains.

Hello, silly question because I know everyone prefers different locations for camping for different reasons and this is a broad area. But trying to plan a week or week and a half camping truly in July. From Lethbridge area so looking for southern Alberta or BC camping spots. Probably doesn’t narrow down much but love the mountains, less crowds and places easy to travel to. Willing to drive probably max 15 hours. Wondering for those who camped what towns or camping spots were your favourites and a must to check out in the southern parts of the two provinces? Thanks!

Doctors are brushing past my symptoms and bloodwork but can’t help but think something is off with my body. Symptoms: bad acne espically around periods, always fatigued, low sex drive, issues sleeping, skinny but have a stomach potential bloating?, irregular periods cycles go from 25 days to 35 to even 40 days. I noticed symptoms of discharge after two years finally got tested for the right thing. No longer have Ureaplasma but have consistent yeast infections and bacteria vaginosis.

From what I know everything looks fine for my bloodwork and hormones except low progesterone and estrogen but not sure why I have that? I’m 22 and no health issues so weird I consistently have low progesterone and estrogen I feel my symptoms align with that as well. Any recommendations on further testing to do or potential diagnosis? Progesterone is at 1.1 nmol/L and estradiol 115 pmol/L
