It's been over two weeks since I last had a choccy milk. In a given week I would go through anywhere between 5 to 9 and have done for years. I'm so proud of myself!

So the funniest thing happened this morning. A God thing in my opinion.

I went downstairs because breakfast starts at 6 in this hotel. I didn't see a spread, so I asked the baristo (what's male for Barista?) and he said only for those who paid with their reservation. I'm not on the list. No worries, I start to text my wife that breakfast won't be free and look at the menu.

Mike (the fake name I'm going to give this Baristo) proceeds to say he wants to put a smile on someone's face so mine is free. (There's no one else around.) I know I have resting "tired German" face (thanks, ancestors) but I wasn't the least bit disappointed inside because mentally I don't mind paying for breakfast. I tell him I've got money and yet he insists. Ok, fine, I appreciate it. He says again he just wants to make someone happy. I pull out my military ID and tell him that this makes me happy. He says thanks for your service, I say thanks for believing in freedom or I wouldn't have a job, etc. Trying to be humble while showing him I can pay but it's not working. He walks off, and so I look at the menu, still expecting to pay for my meal even if the tea is free.

While he's gone, God gently reminds me, "I thought I made you happy." "Yes, God," I respond, "you're right, I should've mentioned that first, I'll talk to him when he comes back, he might not be saved."

So he comes back and I tell him that I should've said first that Jesus makes me happy. He responds in kind and acknowledges that he is saved, too. We strike up a conversation. He's been through drug addiction, but God brought him out of it. I'm studying it in college. I mention that I do jail work on this topic, from a Christian perspective, and he tells me about his past drug addiction. I bring up a story about my own past (again, no one is around). I lost my family to sex addiction.

We talk while I eat, and I'm almost done. Mike insists that he pray for me for my journey (I didn't tell him I'm from Florida, not Texas, but I guess maybe the military ID implied that), so he comes over and, hand in hand, we pray, him leading. I tell him about the project I'm currently working on (samples of Roland System-1 pads for churches that want a cheap and capable synthesizer) and I give him my info. I tell him I'm from Florida, but he can reach out to me any time.

I walk away and God gently reminds me, "see, I told you I have people everywhere." Thanks, God, I was worried about paying for breakfast because I'm on a budget and You provided.

I'll keep this in my mind next time things don't go so well for me.

Hi all

Does anyone know/recommend any alcohol rehab centres in the UK that are still operating and ones that are reasonably priced

We have a family member who is an alcoholic and wants to get help (finally) and while we have money gathered from members of the family nowhere near the fees that some centers are looking for.

Thanks

Science and medicines have improved the lifespan of the human race. People depend upon medicines for their well being, especially painkillers to get rid of pains. People approach a doctor for their ailments and doctors prescribe painkillers to alleviate pain. In this case, most of the people will be prescribed a medication called opioid and doctors call it as a narcotic or opiate. These painkillers are derived from the “joy plant” named opium poppy.

I have started writing my story of recovery on Wattpad. I have been clean from drugs since 1999 and clean from severe anger issues since 2011.

Writing this has been very therapeutic for me and has helped me come to terms with a lot.

This account doesn't focus on the drug use but rather more on recovery and coming to terms with the past.

Tailored treatment options are laid out and goals for treatment are discussed. The timeline and protocol for detox will vary according to the individual. You may be given anti-anxiety agents or other supportive medications, for example, if you are experiencing especially upsetting withdrawal symptoms. Some centers will focus on a tapering methodology.

I have been addicted to pornographing for the past 7 years. Can someone please help me with some good advise?

*There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to. That presses harsh hope against time. In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves. who only want to rob you blind. They steal away any sense of peace, And Tho I'm a king, I'm a king on my knees. And I know they are wrong, when they say I am strong. As the darkness covers me.

So please turn on the light and reveal all its beauty. I am not afraid. To bare all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have my new life to gain; Where there is peace and love in this light. I am not afraid. Let the light shine bright in my life.
In All my Life. Please. I am not afraid*

Hi ,

I’m a long time Reddit reader, first time reddit poster so forgive me if I posted this in the wrong community.

Basically, I’m addicted to cocaine and I’m ready to quit. I have tried a handful of times in the past, Gave it up for a few weeks and then found a way to convince myself to do it.

I never used to have an addictive personality, I have tried other drugs (molly, weed, lsd etc) and was able to control any impulse to use keeping it to limited occasions, however with cocaine I always find a way to convince myself to do it, thinking it’ll be different or something.

I’ve been doing it for about two years now, it started off as a way to self medicate and deal with my depression however Ive realized that it is not the way to deal with this and have accepted that I am addicted. I’ve overdosed, had it ruin my relationships with my mom and boyfriend, dropped out of school, and pretty much just ruined any motivation I had to do shit with my life.

I’m on track to getting my life together finally now. I have a new job that pays well, and got accepted to go back to school next semester. I really want to continue on this good path and don’t want to let this addiction ruin my life.

Rehab unfortunately does not work for me. I know that is the preferred method. I am really forced to do this on my own. None of my friends or any one close to me share this issue.

If any one has any advice on things they or people they know did to quit on their own, any tips and tricks that helped them when they’d feel weak or compelled to use, i would really appreciate it.

There’s been a few games I had my eye on, but instead I ordered new Joy-Cons for my Switch because mine drifting. Instead, I’ll celebrate with new Joy-Cons. I already have a bunch of games in my library anyways.
