Everytime I visit this thread. It makes me feel so much better that there’s a global community at everybody’s fingertips that will do all they can to help and pass no judgement. Felt like a dick when I first started the thread but my mind wasn’t in such a good place and talking (typing) actually helped.

@gordongecko the one that dives straight in to everything too. 75% of the time it’s a wrong move mate :rofl:

of the various therapies and therapists i’ve experienced, the one really meaningful & helpful one was a group therapy when i sent myself to rehab for alcohol & weed at age 22. i was lucky to have golden health insurance & they were paying like 800$/day for me to attend 9-5/M-F. :astonished:

it was a very diverse group, and i think that was crucial to it’s value.

there were Napa housewives who over-indulged on wine & xanax… and crack-whores… and court-ordered violent SEALs dischargee(live piercings at break time).

some real exposure to the idea that suffering doesn’t discriminate.

in the end, i left prematurely & stayed tee-totaler-sober for a year & a half.
:wink: (i had a BMW 2002 to work on when they wanted to have me cutting out paper christmas tree ornaments, and i was 22, c’mon…)

so Overgrow is group therapy plus free cannabis advice & resources. :thumbsup:

I had the same experience in the 70s at about the same age @cannabissequoia. The diversity of the patients was what I enjoyed also. Spent 90 days. Sober…90 days!

I would love to have about 4 different pints with a good meal like I used to then but now 1 bottle feels like a six-pack because of my bladder/nerve problem. Caffeine out the window too. Nobody likes pissing every 5 minutes, especially me. :rainbow:

hang in there man, I hear you, every surgery or drug they give you takes a little more of your health away, that is my experience too.

One of my uncles went in for a checkup at age 86 and when the nurse asked what medications he was on he said “none”. they came out and got his wife because they thought he must be delusional! He was healthy, most of my older relatives were healthly and lived to their 90’s. The sooner your start taking Pharma meds the sooner you go downhill, but they have us by the balls now, so many chronic conditions you’re forced to take their treatment sometimes.

I’ve had thyroid cancer and I just read a study that said annual dental xrays - medically unecessary - could be responible for thyroid cancer doubling and tripling since before WWII. that’s what you get when health care is ruled by greed

I try to use only natural remedies myself to any ailment. Sounds like you had a right bastard of a time. But you’re still here and fighting so you’re obviously a strong person.
