Six and a half weeks sober from weed and counting! Trying to make it to 2026

    Hey your insomnia is probably better by now! How were the wild dreams?

    The insomnia was the hardest part for me since as a daily user I would previously fall asleep within seconds of my head hitting the pillow. The dreams were incredibly vivid - and the nightmares. 😨 Trying to really reign it in in 2026.

    This happened to me too! I also started an SSRI for my anxiety and my psychologist said that would cause my dreams to be more vivid too. I had a dream last night that I accidentally ripped my back skin off and had to go to the emergency room. Then I had to live with my, all of sudden, crack head father in a hostile while I was recovering from surgery. Sometimes they feel like they're nightmares when I wake up but so real when dreaming.

    something thats helped me a lot is remembering that recovery isn't a linear path.

    if you're driving from New York to California, then make an unplanned stop in Nebraska, you aren't back in New York. you just gotta deal with the fact you're in Nebraska and move on.

    you got this. stay strong.

    Falling off the wagon doesn't mean you have to give up for good, you can always start again. I believe in you. It should be more about overall accumulation rather than the neverending streak. You're allowed to be fallible if you can course correct, no one will look down upon you less.

    Idk man, you seem to be the one writing novellas crying about obviously facetious comments in a shitpost community, telling people what is and isn't ok.

    You may wanna take a look in the mirror to check who is actually the bitchbaby here.

    Lol go re-read the thread, and then reflect on who you're describing in your diatribe 😏

    Honestly, Poe's law is going hard here. I can't tell if you're doing a bit or not.

    Ok, just to establish the timeline here:

    • I made a one liner, plus a disclosure that I was making a shitpost (since addiction can be a serious topic)
    • Then you lost your absolute shit and wrote a short novella in which you cried a whole lot, and screamed, and waxed on about morals.
    • And then when I reminded you that this was a shitpost, you lost your mind again, and claimed I was trying to force people to... Do something??? You never made it clear, and that I was crying about it.
    • And then I told you to reflect on who was being a baby and preaching at people,
    • you wrote a whole new aimless diatribe.

    At this point I have to assume it's a bit that I just didn't get, since this is the shitpost community and your ranting is veering pretty sharply into shitpost territory.

    So... Well played, I suppose? Lol

    I applaud your commitment to the bit, even if it's not my brand of shitposting. I know how much time it takes to walk that line for such a long post.

    A challenge for you:
    Can to double the length and somehow work in dr Seuss?

    Edit
    Dude DM'd to yell at me. Turns out it's not a bit. That is WILD

    Since dude DMd me to tell me this wasn't a bit and to yell at me, let's enjoy this for a bit and pick it apart.

    You started shit while acting the part of a innocent person and you'll get treated like you were a manipulative cunt for that.

    What shit did I start? A flippant reply to a post on a shitpost community? Thats enough to cause you to meltdown?

    You posted a passive aggressive, not so subtly controlling and clearly manipulative comment

    What did I post that was passive aggressive, before you started screaming and crying?

    I had posted an essay about the mentality of prissy cunts (relevant or not it doesn't matter)

    Well you posted an essay for sure. Relevant it was not. This is shitposting community, not a community for actual advice. My comment saying to go on a Rager was not serious, and I explicitly flagged it as such. Your response was both extremely preachy and completely misguided.

    You infantalized what was said, misrepresented what happened and are still here trying to save your loser clown ass from the impact of your having been a clown ass loser

    No, the thread is here for everyone to see.
    You replied to my silly dumb joke with a bigass rant where you insulted people for hypothetically doing things you didn't like. When I sarcastically reminded you again of the community, you told me I have no "authority" here. Authority to what?
    You said that I'm complaining like a bitch, but literally I hadn't complained about anything, you just made that up which is rich considering how much you accuse me of manipulation later. Remember, the whole thread is there for everyone to confirm this.

    I found out you were INTENTIONALLY manipulating what was happening either because you can't read or because your a total ass (the much more likely answer of course)

    Intentionally manipulating, like how you said I was complaining? Like how you said I was trying to control people, despite me having said nothing but a joke and a reminder of the channel, but you went on a preachy tirade about what people should and shouldn't do? Huh

    You (a cunt) know you can spout bullshit and hope for the best, and you've been doing it your whole life Id reckon. Be an idiot, but just smart enough to lie to the idiots around you for support when you need and think that makes you better then the intelligent one you are facing off with (while pretending your not in case you need to act like you weren't when you fail epically at it)

    I mean, if you had an iota of self awareness, you'd appreciate the irony in you saying this.

    Just in case anyone assumes your not just a witless conniving liar I keep assuming your doing this because youre just stupid.

    So back to that which you posted (You should think about the community your posting in.)

    Implying directly that I should not comment because it doesn't suit your shitpost community guidelines (which is short and stupid/lame im assuming) and that they (OP) can't post hopeshitposts either. And also keeping you safe from criticism of your clearly maligned behavior. A learned trait, assuming from home.

    I didn't say you can't, I said that im posting shit takes, because this is the community for shit takes.
    But here you are, telling me that I'm now allowed to post shit takes in the community dedicated to shit takes. And you're telling me that I'm the one trying to control people? Uh huh.

    So I know this is how you get attention and that puts me in a position. You likely have no fucking friends and are a victim of a superiority complex and victim roleplay. So what am I to do? Keep engaging? Let him have his make believe? Nah that's how this place gets filled with yous. Exhausting, debilitatingly clueless cowards like you.

    But teaching comes with suffering so letting you pretend you are consistent with your story is a cop out on my part. Its always tough to be the better man so here we are. Still replying to a disingenuous conniving cowardly asshole fuckwad of a, and I'm using the term EXCRUCIATINGLY loosely here, human being.

    Again, an ounce of self awareness would have done wonders for you, here.

    Let me guess tho. You ain't gonna read that cause your a little wus who never wanted to know he's a cowardly stupid fuck and almost everybody knows it?

    No, unfortunately for you, I read it all.
    Idk what you thought would happen here. The thread is here for everyone to see. They can see that you lied, and then accused me of doing the things you did. You can read if for yourself. It's all here, out in public.
    I wrote this breakdown for you, because eventually you did strike a chord, and to show you that I'm not just gonna accept you lying about me without standing up for myself a little bit.

    in case anyone doesn't want to scroll up a bit, this screencap of the conversation captures it perfectly.\

    If this is rage bait, I'll give it 5/10. You triggered me enough to write a breakdown, but I'm not fuming.

    What client did you post this with? Trying to debug why it's a link instead of the image.

    Blorp dev here. I'm copying the thumbnail url into the post url, but perhaps that's incorrect. I'm open to suggestions. Again, not confident I'm handling this correctly, but one advantage of setting post.url is cross posts are compared via url, so setting that url would allow Lemmy to associate cross posts of the same image.

    On the rendering side, Blorp scans post.url and if it's an image (e.g. ends in .png), it renders it as an image post. But perhaps not all clients do that.

    Thanks! Perhaps Thunder (what I am using) does the same, but since this is an avif it's not picked up in filters. I'll start keeping a list of extensions as I see these, as "links vs images" seems to be happening more in posts. The information collection continues.

    Day 3 for me. Not giving it up for good, just taking a much needed tolerance break (which I should do way more often than twice a year.)

    Usually I compensate for lack of alcohol with more energy drinks, but I'm off those too and it fucking sucks.

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 10 months ago

    I drink when I feel like it. I felt like it once last year and twice this year. I've went five years without so much as a beer. I know though that there are those out there that have a problem with moderation and its important they don't imbibe even once.

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 10 months ago

    But why, though?

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 10 months ago

    I only drink pretty rarely, because sometimes I misremember the taste of booze and think they tasted alright (no, they didn't, especially the cheap stuff used to get drunk on the cheap).

    But if you decide to, I've got plenty of booze. I'm not much of a drinker but I have accumulated a collection via various sources and enjoy sharing.

    Hell yeah! I always grab an independently brewed craft beer before my private and independent therapy session. ACT stands for

    A: Accept my feelings (I want beer and the thought that started it was the association I've made between alcohol and 5pm)

    C: Choice - decide how to act in line with your system of values - supporting local businesses and communities

    T: Take action - glug glug So anyways, I'm always a bit depressed the day after i get drunk.. Like it's weird.
