Tw Addiction - Tumblr Posts

this is adorable

I just think its very sweet that mob was the motivation reigen needed to quit smoking <3 so I made a comic about it

I promise Chima is my favourite show but I must slander the things I love

nobody warns you this but addiction happens without you noticing and one of the first things that it attacks is your ability to care. if you find yourself using recreational drugs every day, stop and take one day a week sober. if you struggle with this or if you don't see the point of the exercise, you are likely already addicted and you need help.

Curious about something you mentioned in your post last week, you said that in your opinion all drugs should be legal and I’m curious about how that would be a positive at all? Like I get weed bc it’s pretty harmless but when I think of drugs I think of cocaine and heroin, which have destroyed so many lives. If it was widely available wouldn’t that end up hurting more people than helping? That’s just my opinion but I’m curious on the other side

I do think all drugs should be legal. This is said knowing that addiction runs in my family and that the only reason my older sister is my *sister* is due to drug use and addiction. Otherwise she'd be my cousin.

Making drugs illegal does not stop people from getting high. It does not stop drug related crime. And it certainly does not stop drugs from tearing families apart.

Addiction is a symptom of a larger problem. Solve the problem and the addict problem goes away. Solve the addict problem and drugs stop ruining lives and destroying families and creating massive amounts of drug related violence. Places that have roled out decriminalization strategies effectively have seen an overall reduction in crime rates across the board, a reduction in recreational drug use, and a reduction in bloodborne illness like HIV. Creating safe needle exchanges as well as safe places to get high with medical staff onhand has also created a locale where very few people die from overdose.

Most people hear "decriminalize all drugs" and think I mean a free-for-all. I don't. I think the drug market should be regulated. I don't think you should be able to get ketamine or heroin over the counter at a walmart like you can get asprin. But I think it's time to stop putting people in jail for getting high.

My aunt tore her life and her family and her health apart for years while she was addicted to heroin. My sister, her daughter, needed to be removed from her care due to the amazingly bad choices she made as a mother due to her addiction and her prioritizing drugs over the health and safety of her daughter. My aunt has had multiple heart attacks from the damage the constant drug use did to her body.

My aunt is more than a decade sober and do you know why? It's not because she got a wakeup call when her daughter was taken away, because at the time she willingly and freely signed her over to my parents because that got her "out of [her] hair". It's not because she had a heart attack, because she went right back to it the moment she was out of the hospital. It's not even because she spent time in rehab and prison, because the moment she was out she was using again.

No, my aunt got sober because her life changed. She was put on a better pain management plan. She got out of her shitty marriage to her shitty husband. She completed some education to make her more hireable so she didn't have to rely on less than safe means of paying her bills. She reconnected with my sister and reforged their relationship once she was 18. She bought her own house. She found love with someone who didn't give a shit about her past and brought out the best in her.

My aunt was a deeply unhappy person. Heroin made life more tolerable for her. Until she couldn't tolerate life without it. Until she'd do anything, anything, to get her next high.

A lot of addicts are addicts because they are self-medicating for something else and their drug of choice has chemical properties that makes their brains crave it more. If you fix the "deeply unhappy" part, you create a healthier environment for that addict to take control over their life again. Without it, they are far more likely to continue to relapse.

Knowing this, why would I then want to add the threat of prison and jailtime- life-ruining things themselves- to an addict's list of concerns?

Look up rat park sometime. In the rat paradise, drugged water was freely offered, and occasional a rat here or there would take a hit or two, but rarely enough to even get high and almost never habitually. Addiction literally didn't exist even though the rats were taking addictive substances. But the rats in cages, seperated from each other, with no enrichment, crammed into small spaces and stressed to hell? Those rats took hit after hit after hit until they overdosed and died. The addict rats were deeply unhappy. The drugs were their only escape. The paradise rats had to be lured in with sweetened drugs to even consider and even then they rejected them. The caged rats did not need sweetner, even though the drugs made the water bitter.

If we can see such a stark difference in rats having their needs met vs rats experiencing isolation and stress, what would happen if we showed human addicts the same consideration?

I think a lot better results than continuing to jail deeply unhappy and desperate people for doing the only thing they can think of to cope.

So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers - all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. 

This is the last of that sort of thing. 

Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. 

I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you.

It seems like the Hazbin Hotel series has been usually doing a lot more telling than showing, and one of the things that especially suffers from this is Angel's path to healing.

Episode 4 marks the start of the process; Angel starts to talk to and confide to others about his personal problems.

Episode 6, however, tells us "yeah, he's doing pretty good btw". They even show us him standing up to Valentino and shit.

Which, don't get me wrong, I'm always happy to see people giving Val the ass-kicking he deserves but like-

h o w ?

We barely see any progression of Angel Dust resolving his personal issues. Again, he learns to talk to others about his problems in Episode 4, but that's about it. And Episode 6 wants us to believe that he's been pretty good breaking his old habits (it's supposed to serve as proof for the angels in heaven that "yes, sinners can change and get better.")

Angel has been dealing with his personal addiction since even before his death (reminder that he died from an overdose in 1947). He's even chosen to name himself after a drug.

Drug rehabilation is a very slow and gradual process. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc. isn't something you can just turn off with the flick of a switch. It's not a habit you can easily break within a week or even a month. People say that they're going to quit, but they don't. Because they can't quit. Not without a steady rehabilation process and therapeutic/medical help.

We don't know how much time passes between each episode of the show. No matter how long the time gap between episodes 4 & 6 is, the fact remains that we're only seeing the beginning of a healing process (episode 4) and either a "third act" or the ending to that process (episode 6.)

The series shows us the beginning of the pathway to healing but then suddenly jumpcuts to a much later point.

It's like giving us a book with 80% of the pages missing.

The codeine pills really work, I love them because today I woke up another day without any fear WOW

do you have any tips for surviving coming off codeine? because I feel terrible, I don't feel like living and I don't know if I'll not break down and will not take codeine pills :)))) pls help me get through this

this is my first day off codeine and I already feel terrible, i don't want to live, I'm afraid of the next days, (as long as I can stand it and not take the pills again...) 😭😭😭

my whole body hurts, but pain of my thoughts are way more painful

i want to die. my life is so fucking hopeless. i feel like i won't achieve anything. i'm so sad and i want to cry. help me to stay alive for my family because i can't deal with myself anymore..

i love tumblr. i really do. this is my soft place. people here understand me. this place inspires me, comforts me, helps me when i feel mentally bad. we are like family. it doesn't matter that we are depressed or addicted. we listen, we understand, we fight together in this shitty life.

i took acodin pills and i love it

I had a realization. In a lot of WATT ask games, people ask which of the fallen 3 you would save. I tend to lean towards saving Farrah. Chess’s death ended up helping Kate, and though I love Clark and Annleigh, and I feel bad that Clark was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, Farrah just had so much potential. She had just dumped her flask and promised to stop drinking, and then died before even being given the chance. So I choose to save Farrah.

But here’s the thing that most people don’t seem to realize: you save Farrah, you save Clark. Think about it: the whole reason Clark dies is because Reese finds Farrah’s body in the bathroom and screams, Clark hears it and comes running. The lights are off when he bursts in, Reese, having just found a dead body and already in panic mode, grabs the shower head, swings, and the blunt force does him in.

But if Farrah doesn’t die, and Reese doesn’t find her body, Clark would have no reason to run in. He could sneak back out and go home, ready to pick Annleigh and Farrah up in the morning. Chess would be the only one to die that night. Kate would keep her character development, Annleigh wouldn’t lose her boyfriend and sister in the same night, Reese wouldn’t accidentally kill a man, and Farrah could start getting better.

Save Farrah, save Clark, two-for-one deal!

Can we take a sec and talk about the fact that literally nobody in WATT is even slightly okay?

Kate has severe abandonment and attachment issues, plus her best and only true friend dies and she’s the one who found the body. Oh yeah and SHE GOT STABBED AND ALMSOT DIED!

Reese accidentally killed an innocent person and then had to live with the guilt after lying about it, she kept that shit a secret for MONTHS.

Cairo’s best friend killed two people and she had no idea until months after it happened, plus she was unaware Riley was even struggling until after she confessed (and was also pining up a storm while all of this was happening)

Riley literally murdered two people in cold blood, enough said.

Farrah was an alcoholic and had little to no support system (“everyone hates me” “Farrah hated Farrah too”)

Chess had a drug addiction and had no faith that she could ever get better (“you don’t know who you are until you hate yourself”)

Annleigh lost her boyfriend and sister in the same night and for months was convinced Clark had been cheating on her with Farrah. She’s also like, way too into religion, just saying.

Mattie got framed for murder and sent to prison for a few months, that’s bound to mess you up, plus getting blackout drunk at the sleepover.

I think the only ones who are close to mentally stable is Clark and Eva, but I can’t really say that Clark is okay because he’s, ya know, dead.

🖤

Some headcanons for my favorite lesbian nerd, Eva Sanchez!

Eva has three younger siblings, two sisters and a brother

Eva’s s basically another mom to her siblings since their real mom is always working to support them

Her brother called her “mama” and Eva didn’t talk for a whole week

She forced their mom to actually be a mom after that day

Eva loves science, we know that, but she also got into English literature after meeting Kate

She started reading a bunch of classic books so she and Kate could talk about it

Awkward Lesbian (trademark pending)

Eva’s dad was in the military

He suffered from PTSD and ended up turning to drugs because of it

He died of an accidental drug overdose

Eva is very active in helping people who struggle with addiction because she doesn’t want to see others end up like her dad

I've been battling my whole life with trying to find a place for myself that didn't hurt. I would dress up real pretty to go to church and smile while adults touched me when I did not want them to and gave me hugs and kisses on the cheek and told me how proud they were of me. Stale smelling older men who stood just a bit too close and held on a bit too long to a little girl. I was just a doll to all of them, and if it wasn't for them knowing my mama, they never would have cared about me.

My job as a little Christian girl was to look nice, act nice, listen to my parents no matter what, serve God, and most importantly: shut the fuck up. If I wasn't being talked to or cooed at, I was to sit there quietly, looking pretty and waiting until I was useful again as a prop.

I grew up constantly afraid and always more excited to find a new cozy hiding spot in my home than to see my dad back from work. 4pm, every day, I knew where to be, and it was nowhere near the front door, just in case he had a bad day and came in with itchy fists.

I always had my nose in a book from the time I was able to read at age 4 to when I finally learned to live in my actual reality. I wanted nothing but to escape. All the adults around me found it cute that I was so studious and smart and encouraged my escapism, for which I am grateful.

I clawed my way, alone, out of addiction to things that would have eventually killed me and away from the thought that that was taking too long and I should get it over with. I quietly went through an identity crisis every other day before deciding it wasn't worth trying to find a label that fit for sure. I stood my ground when my parents found pictures of me kissing my girlfriend at a school dance that I had forgotten to hide away on my phone. I protected my older brother from my parents' ridicule as he was dying in a hospital bed after trying to kill himself with me, a child, in the same room. I will never be able to forget that as long as I live, the sound my father made when he came into the room and the sight of so much blood.

I've been through hell my whole life, things that could have been prevented if only several horrible people and horrible institutions had been told what they were doing was wrong. If they had been forced to fix the way they thought and forced to put away their fists, most of the horrible things I had to go through would never have had to happen in the first place.

And I will not stand by after I have finally found a place I belong, with people who understand me, while we are being told we don't belong anywhere but with ourselves and told we don't exist in the first place. Even worse when so much of this hate is coming from communities that little me looked up to with stars in their eyes; feminists who fight against the very things that had made my life hell! The LGBTQ+ community itself, where I'd been told that everyone who didn't belong at least belonged there!

Why the fuck is this an issue worth sending teenagers and well-meaning regular joes death threats over and deciding that the authority over other people's identities should come down to popular vote? Who the fuck cares if I don't look at a person most people find hot and want to have sex with them? Who the fuck cares that it takes me a very very very long time to fall in love with someone, if I ever do, and that I don't care much at all for dating or romance for myself?

Why is this such a big issue that deserves negative attention? Am I hurting anyone? Am I risking someone's life I don't know about? Because to my knowledge, all I've been doing is reblogging funny memes on my phone, hanging out with my friends, going to class when necessary, drinking too much tea, and just generally living a normal, boring life!

If you think trying to scare me and mine off the internet and earth for good after all the shit I've been through will be worth your time, you are wrong. We did nothing wrong. We aren't hurting anyone, and last I checked, it seems a stupid waste of time to go boo-hooing around the internet about people who don't have the same relationship with love and sex as you do. I can guarantee that there are plenty of people who aren't aromantic or asexual and also have an irregular relationship with one or both of those things.

Get the fuck over yourself and go do something that makes you happy instead of being a cyberbully and a bigot.

And let me sip my tea in fuckin peace.

What do you think of Pluto oppose moon in synastry.

pluto opposite moon in synastry

° moon person feels restricted and underappreciated

° pluto person feels misunderstood
