I'm 4 months sober today!

I guess what gets me about fatphobia is seeing someone literally recovering from addiction and gaining weight being framed as a bad thing because a substance use problem that is eating you from the inside out is preferable so long as you are twenty pounds lighter.

It has never been about people's health.

*gritting his teeth* i am actively not thinking about ANYONE right now

But 148 lives, I owe at least that much. And then I can go. | I should have died in that fire that night. Or one of the many nights after, trying to correct that mistake. But I'm still here.

Running the restaurant has become a little harder for Gulshan now Temperance can't help as much because there are two infants who need to be cared for as well. Gulshan feels like all the effort he is putting in his restaurant to get it back on track is not really working and he is still losing sleep over trying to get his restaurant star back. On top of that he is also dealing with everything that comes with being a new dad, daily chores that have to be done in and around the house, and his increasing need to have a drink or cigarette to get through the day.

Whumpee who recently got off of some addiction (drugs, caffeine, something like that), but during captivity, Whumper forces them to take the addiction back.

(Was thinking of that one story @kabie-whump wrote with Ventis. 👀)

Ok so i see imagines abt f/os supporting you through addictions but,, consider: vice versa

Talking to them about it, making sure they know you’re there to help

Taking their mind off things when withdrawals/similar get bad, or even just staying with them to comfort them if they can’t be distracted

Being so, so proud of them for every day they stay sober, and if they relapse, being the first one to remind them that recovery isn’t a straight line and they can get right back up on the horse

Celebrating milestones however it’d be best for them- whether it’s a little gift, taking them out for dinner, or even just something small like making them breakfast in bed

If you’ve had an addiction as well, sharing your experiences to make them feel less alone and using what you’ve learned to help them better

Just… being there for your f/os at their best and their worst <3 im so weak for it… I have actually quite a few f/os who have struggled with this and thought I’d share some soft with the group :]

(For any kind of f/o!)

Hello, how do you think the batfam will react to a reader with bad habits? And the reader is underage. Like at one time the reader got into not the best company or just wanted to seem cool, and now she smokes, maybe reader abuses alcohol. I'm just wondering how the batfamcan handle this.

And I apologize for the English, I am writing with a translator

no but seriously he’s have you detoxing the minute he finds out about it. Having a nice drink at dinner with the family is fine but only if he’s able to supervise what you are drinking and how much. He’s be damned if he has to deal with another bruce

Bruce Wayne

doesn’t panic, even if his brain is screaming at him to trap you away forever and keep you from everything that could hurt you.

Calls in Dinah to talk to you about what is and isn’t safe for you because he will fuck it up and if he fucks you up after all of this progress that you guys have been making, duke will be the cause of his murder

Dick Grayson

oldest daughter exhaustion because he does NOT want to deal with another jason-smoking-to-fuck-with-bruce-and-becoming-addicted situation.

Tells you that if you don’t knock it off he will make you and is smiling while promising that you will not enjoy his methods

Jason Todd

panics his ass off

He yells at you for being stupid because he’s trying to quit and how did you get into that and why did you ever think it’s a smart idea and just panics in general

Cassandra Cain

thinks that it’s easily solvable, most reasonable

She starts you excerising with her every single time you get the urge so that you literally can’t move your arms anymore. Duke often joins in and eventually it becomes a form of bonding for the three of you

Duke Thomas

he gets you patches or helps wean you off of it because they’re a good sibling like that.

honestly to themself, takes the time to think about whether they want to keep you addicted and act like the good sibling by keeping you supplied increasing your dependence on them but then realizes that his brain is getting a little too demony for their taste and stops

Tim Drake

makes you listen as he lists every side effect of every substance that you are taking

threatens the crowd that you were with if you don’t start quitting immediately. Feels a cold quit is good punishment for being on substances in the first place

Damian Wayne

thinks it’s stupid and yells at you, considers violence but is restrained by duke and dick

Tw drugs, tw addiction

The other day I decided to completely destroy all my weed/delta 8 products! It was so hard, we also are a system and we kept switching and walking away and fighting myself. In the end, I no longer have drugs. Today is day 3 of being sober! The only wake-up call was my boss telling me I seem stressed and behind at work. I love my job. I hate myself but I love this job so much. I can’t lose the only place I feel like myself to a stupid habit. My coworkers are my team, my friends. I can’t lose the most supportive place in my life. I have to be better for them. Even if I hate myself they need me to be strong. I just wanted to share my experience because I’m so proud of my actions but no one in my life knows about my addiction. I refuse to tell.

Wow that's such a big step! I still remember how scary it was to delete all my own contacts and commit to sobriety. Now I'm 4 months sober, but only like 3 people know I was ever an addict, so it's a whole big chapter of my recent history that I just can't mention, which is a really weird feeling. But I see you and I'm proud of you!

"Treatment" for addiction that requires you to lock up, confine, coerce, or otherwise strip addicts of their autonomy, it isn't treatment. It is a revenge fantasy that prioritizes your desire for subjugation over the actual betterment of addicts.

“Can we talk?”

“No,” Sirius said, slumping further into his seat, stretching his legs. “Or yeah. I don’t know. We can talk about something, besides this.”

“Can I just say something?” Fleamont asked, taking a turn to the left. “So we can close off this chapter and go on about something else?”

The younger man shrugged.

“You can do rehab as many times as you need, in order for things to work out. Doing it once or thrice or a thousand times can be enough or not, whether you try to put in the work or not. We want to help you, in any way you need us to. You just need to be open to talk to us.”

“I don’t know why you’re trying so hard, it’s not gonna work either way.” Sirius pushed his hair out of his face, looking at him tiredly. “Why bother?”

“Because you matter to us. We’ll be there by your side, either way. And it will work, Sirius, because you’re strong-willed, I’d say almost stubborn sometimes.” Fleamont chuckled, which earned him an unimpressed, but amused snort from Sirius. “We have faith in you, you just have to have faith in yourself.”

He shrugged. “Maybe. Dunno.”

“We have chicken alfredo pasta for dinner,” Fleamont added, chuckling. “Mia made it, knowing you like them.”

Sirius grinned. “Yeah, that’s true. James home yet?”

“Of course. He’s been missing you like crazy. Knowing you’d be home today, he went all out.”

“Classic,” He tsked, letting his head fall against the headrest with a thump. “Can I tell you something?”

“Sure, kid,” Fleamont said, taking a turn. “Anything you want.”

“I’m bisexual.”

“Well, know that we love you and always will—nothing about this changes that. It takes courage to share something so personal, and I’m proud of you for trusting me. You’ll always have our full support, no matter what.”

Sirius smiled, turning up the radio. “Thanks.”

“So,” Fleamont started, whistling alone to the tune, “found someone, then?”

Sirius scoffed. “No. But I appreciate the thought behind my relationships. No, though. Probably gonna lie low for a while; that’s what I was recommended, at least.”

“You know best,” He answered, pulling into the driveway. “There we are. Welcome back home, Sirius.”

I may have been late to this fandom, I wasn't here when the band were together. But I remember watching Liam audition for TXF the first time around, I remember watching 1D get put into a band, I remember my sister's unbearable love for (what I thought at the time were) a stupid boyband. I remember her spotting Liam at our local shopping centre and her and her friends following him around, too scared to actually say hello. And then I got into this fandom, and I loved those boys so wholeheartedly. I was so proud of their accomplishments, I was so happy when Liam was telling us of his struggle and that he was sober. And I was so worried for him when he clearly wasn't doing so well. He wasn't a perfect person, and he had done things wrong. He was a victim too, a victim of the industry since he was 14 years old. He deserved a chance to be better.

I hope that he can finally be at peace.

My thoughts are with the Payne family, his son, and the boys tonight ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Tell me something I didn't know already...

[handweavers]

my dad likes to do this thing to "prove" that he's not addicted to alcohol by being like (apropos of nothing) "by the way i haven't had vodka in nearly 2 months and i've only been having 4 beers every night which is a normal thing that everyone does" and after everything that's ever happened in my whole life with him i can't fight anymore i'm just like uh-huh. ok

[dionysianfreak]

do you have any tips for how to worship dionysus while staying sober? i quit drinking a year ago but before that i had felt the strongest connection to dionysus, and i still do, i just feel a bit cautious now that ive given up the main thing that so many people suggest as an offering/way to connect to him

hello lovely. I'm very glad you asked this of me because I have also struggled with addiction before and during my worship of Dionysos. I empathize with your situation a lot so i hope you find my input helpful for you :)

first thing I will say is that Dionysos is far from simply the God of alcohol or intoxication. He is a God of wilderness, vegetation and agriculture, theater, the arts, mental health, dance, ancient mysteries, celebration, and much more. I would suggest looking into His other domains and seeing how you relate to them. He is often portrayed as "fun party wine God" in pop culture and various circles, but He has a lot of complexity and is a very very ancient Deity. there's bound to be a non-intoxicating aspect of Him that you can incorporate into your worship.

furthermore, Dionysos is a God of sobriety. a feature of the Theoi is duality within Their domains, especially with Gods like Dionysos who encompass duality. I have seen His epithets Sôtêrios (Savior, Recovery) and Lysios (Releaser, of release) used as Epithets of recovery from madness and addiction.

finally, my biggest piece of advice would be to completely reapproach your worship. this is to help psychologically combat any association your mind may have formed between Dionysos and your addiction. it's known that being in places or situations where your vice was previously indulged makes cravings reappear or feel stronger. if you felt very close to Dionysos during active addiction, you may have an unconscious association between drinking and the sight of His shrine/His presence.

i used to share my vices with Dionysos as an offering or devotion. when i began sobriety, I got rid of a lot of His shrine items, I rearranged the shrine in a completely new place, and i began to worship Him in a new context. approaching Him in a completely new space helped me a lot in breaking the association I had formed between His space and my vice.

overall, sober worship of Dionysos is common even if it is less spoken of. many of us (including me) are recovering addicts who turn to Him for relief and guidance. i connect most with His nature-based and primordial aspects nowadays. I can't think of much else to say so i hope this advice helps you. also, I'm very proud of you for your sobriety and congratulations on one year !

this post is definitely open to any other sober Dionysos worshippers or former addict polytheists. I'd love to hear your story and/or input on the matter :)
