Well, a colleague sent a dick pic to his new gf with the same name as his teenage daughter... Turned out he sent the wrong one and called her up immediately, yelling "you are not allowed to touch your phone until I get back in 13 minutes"

Good thing she was obedient but I'm guessing she knew what it was when he freaked that hard

You have nothing to be sorry about. I can see why my post would strike a nerve with you and bring up such a painful part of your life. And the way I received your reply was more of genuine concern because of your personal experience which is valid.

Before adding in the mmj I was on 100mcg/hr fentanyl patch(the strongest you can get outside of a hospital or being prescribed 2 patches to wear at a time) and oxycodone for break thru pain. I asked my dr if I could lower the fentanyl dose and add in mmj to compensate and he was all for it. So over 6 months we tapered me down to the 50mcg/hr patch and half the break thru oxy and I was able to get the same, if not better relief of my pain. I mainly use RSO as my mmj with the occasional joint that last me 3-4days taking just a few tips here n there.

Yes I am in severe chronic pain that will never be cured or fixed. I was in a motor vehicle accident as a young child and I was not in the proper child restraint seat for my size and age. As a result of that my gut was crushed by the lap belt that caused my intestines to rupture. Then as a teen I had a bowel obstruction that required surgery to remove the dead tissue and everything went tits up. That left me with a scar from sternum to my pelvis that's as wide as my hand and is widening constantly due to losing 40% of my abdominal muscles. So as it widens it also thins and now it's only a few millimeters thin separating my insides from out. You dont realize just how much you need your abs for walking, sitting, ect. So without the pain medication I literally cannot walk more than a few steps without collapsing.

How important are the opinions of people who would judge you for harmlessly being yourself? Sometimes they matter—an important work client, someone in a position to get you a good job or contract or spot in a program. But this lady? Other people who knew you when you were little but not who you are as an adult? Their prejudices and unkind opinions are none of your business. Keep being you!!

Dude, the thoughts racing in your head about your past mistakes, keeping you up at night- I know that Reddit says "therapy" for pretty much everything, but that's because a lot of Redditors have social anxiety. Are you ok bud? Do you have someone you're working on for this?

In terms of mistakes, what helps me sometimes, is 1) acknowledging that boy I royally fucked up in the past, and 2) the past is what makes me a better person today. It's a learning experience to use as a stepping stone to become who I want to be, who I'm trying to be, with a lot of help and support from those around me who love me. There's a degree of self-love in there; I recognize that I'm valuable and that my past mistakes, while super cringe, are not changeable, but my present and future are. There's a degree of reflection there too; who did you really hurt in that scenario? So you gave your interviewers a laugh. Did any of them get hurt by it? No. Even if you hurt someone, you can't fix the fact that you hurt them, but you can make amends, and make sure not to do it again in the future.

I did that once, except it was left over steak and some sides from a really good 4* restaurant. I had it all wrapped up, paid the bill and took it outside to the valet area (which is inside another building). We drive away and 5 mins realized what happened, so I turned around and went back thinking it would still on the bench where I left it. The valet guy who was helping me went on break and my delicious steak was gone (presumably in Mr Valet’s belly). That was fine by me… hopefully he enjoyed it as much as I did!

Right on! I appreciate that you heard my opinion.

I guess I just... I rushed to faces of her and other people just out their minds.

I can see mmj as being great in pain relieving and harm reduction. I have no issues inherently with opioid either other than the addiction properties. And I read your post and I was like oh no.... this poor freaking person and I got legitimately terrified. And no doubt bc I've been ruminating on my sister so it felt more close to home.

It sounds like I jumped to a conclusion. I can definitely remember panic attacks I've had on pot and they've always been wild. So I now see this was more a one off than a , well call it medicating to the point of certain termination.

So I do apologize , sincerely. Also, if you're on opioids now at all you've got to have some high level chronic pain and I'm so sorry that you're going through that
