This society kills my sobriety

untorquer@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 257d

This goes hard. Damn.

Dymonika@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 256d

I let this society kills kill my sobriety

Stoicism corrected that statement for you.

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?

dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 257d (1 reply)

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.

Aneb@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d

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.

I mean that's fine, as long as you're aware that people shitcomment on shitposts

I would but I don't have any bulldozers or thick steel plating

A large dose of PCP is a good replacement for either

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.

arnitbier@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 256d (7 replies)

Yeah hiding behind your sarcasm doesn't work, get fucked

I don't post for your little whiny asses or for your "ideal community" baby bullshit. I post for the best of what I see is needed here

Obviously I stuck a chord

Go back to bed bitch, or reply like the limo dick you are trying to convince yourself you don't care about telling people what to do. But bitches like you always do. That's why you all whine the same, project that shit after you do that shit.

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 256d (6 replies)

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.

arnitbier@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 256d

Obviously I read it, you can't write shit or have anything to say we get it

Look using emojis (copying me) like your some snappy young man but your just a little boy and a smug and inexperienced manchild so desperate to prove himself to anybody that he can.

And oh my goodness! Top it off a Poe's law reference to project intelligence you clearly lack and backtrack from your lack of comedic talent! (And hide the fact you weren't kidding of course πŸ˜‚)

Such wow. Much loss of self respect to play to a crowd you don't even know well enough to see how lame your stupid ass looks trying that stupid shit

Get fucked poser πŸ’€

Too late, spent the last month drinking after 11 months sober 😭

AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works · 21 pts · 257d (1 reply)

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.

H3mp79@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 255d

I fucking love this!

king_comrade@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 256d

11 months is an amazing streak! I reckon you can do 12 next time, give it another go big fella! We're all cheering you on ❀️

volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 257d

Nooo :( I hope you'll get back on track. Setbacks are ok. It took me about 5 years to get sober once I started trying.

MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 256d

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.

slemptastrophe@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 256d

Detours like that happen to most of us. It's totally worth it once you finally arrive at the place where you don't need it anymore. It's an amazing feeling.

dbtng@eviltoast.org · 1 pts · 255d

Oh, you're fine. It took me 4 1/2 years to get over sobriety and back to normal life.
You've wasted much less time.

michaelalf@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 256d

19 months and 6 days sober... but a Lemmy post told me what to do, so I'm going to get fucking drunk.

Fmstrat@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 256d (3 replies)

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

moseschrute@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 256d (1 reply)

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.

Fmstrat@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 255d

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.

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.

andxz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 256d

But why, though?

glitchdx@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 255d

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.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 255d

Thanks Mr. Metroid!

dbtng@eviltoast.org · 3 pts · 256d

I say, go with the intrusive thoughts.

ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d

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.

Yeah, more people are sober and more people are isolated and miserable.

I'll get the next round guys. Your mental state is more important than your liver.

In this world you're either a "Big psych industry" or "Big Booze industry" type

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 257d (2 replies)

Small booze industry. Support the independents!

untorquer@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 257d (1 reply)

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.

Alcohol cured my depression
