I’d be in heaven if I had the temps down to 55 since I’m always hot but every girl I mess with gotta have the temp at 75 or higher

I sleep better alone honestly.

So many sleepless nights when I had a girl in the bed. Usually find myself giving her the blanket/cover

The real tech is separate covers. Otherwise you'll both just be yanking the cover to eachother's side back and forth.

I don’t know the difference between peaches and nectarines. I eat both but if I were to look at them they look the same to me.

you can easily convince me it’s the wrong fruit to have me looking stupid

Peaches are free and there are millions of them.
Not true for nectarines.

 

[lovehateself]

Peaches have light fuzz, thus the term “peach fuzz”

Nectarines are smooth to the touch

I have recently cut off a friend struggling with addiction, it's been long over due, I think the biggest realization is how I have taken a lof of stress due to this. I already feel relief, tbh I was probably drinking and going out more than I should to cope with this ****, for years, I may have lost a good girl in the end because of all this nonsense.

I am on a pathway now to healing and just want to let folks know that the only loyalty one has in this world is to ones self, make sure your oxygen mask is on.

As an addict myself, I can sympathize. Been a high-functioning opioid addict for for roughly 10 years now.
Up until a few years ago I didn't personally know any fellow addicts so I just kept it hidden from everyone. Only mom doctors and mom knew.
Even when volunteering for a mental health non-profit, I met a woman who had it even worse than me and we quickly got along very well. Her being so open about her cocaine/stimulants and bipolar syndrome issues in turn made me open up for once. Since then, everyone in my circle knows.

For me, dealing with her or myself is rather easy and stress-free because I have an undescribed "empathy disorder" that helps me stay calm and collected in any given situation.
Having virtually no emotional empathy can produce its own kind of problems but for someone in my position with plenty of medical issues on my own, in addition to a very troubled close friend, it might as well be a gift.

For other people though, dealing with addicts is horrible. Especially when there's compounding issues like bipolar syndrome, depression, ...
I can function well on my own, retain an IT job etc, but a lot of people with more crippling addictions don't have that luxury.

At the end of the day, us addicts can't expect everyone stick with us in forever when we don't reciprocate. Of course that's much easier said than done depending on which addiction has infected your mind. In my case, no one really noticed I was an addict forthe majority of those years before I told anyone.
First of all, not everyone is cut out for a supporting role to an addict. Some people are more prone to emotions and stress, and some of the discussions can get very dark.
The addict needs to be aware of this. Obviously they should have someone to talk to but they should not involve a person who simply isn't cut out for it.
That's not much of an issue with me but my close friend has often lost people close to her. A big part of why she views me as her closest confidant is my ability to fully calm and not gain stress when the topic of suicidal ideation is brought up. It goes without saying that I care but such interactions don't translate into visible emotions or stress.

While the addicts have a responsibility to assess who they want to vent to, or share intimate details with, the same also goes for the sober supporter.
You're not responsible for anything. No one is asking you to carry to weigh of the world on your shoulders. When the fire gets too hot, stand back. If possibly, maybe refer them to someone capable of dealing with said issue.

I do think it is important to at least discuss those topics with addicts if you're truly friends. Don't just ghost them, give them the courtesy of knowing why.
Addicts are quite aware of this and tend to expect people around them to leave. What they don't really expect is for people to actually be honest and straightforward about it.

Thanks for sharing your struggle, don't want to dive too deep into it, but my boy was aware enough to manipulate and I just couldn't handle the late night calls talking about nonsense anymore. I also drew several lines so it's not like I was really that involved anymore anyway.

I am pulling for him and will always cherish how he contributed to the man I am today, but I was holding on to someone who just didn't exist anymore. I just can't have him in my life anymore. He needs professional help, not a friend.
