Had to get a tooth removed. Really upset tbh. I’ve spent about $17k to get them somewhat fixed and I feel like I’m in a losing battle.
This time I pretty much can’t eat properly or smile until I get my denture in 6 weeks.
This is the price of absolute stupidity.

You’ve come a long way, friend!
Sometimes the scars of our journey are invisible, and sometimes they’re not, but it says a lot about you that you’ve overcome such hardship and are now in a position to look after your health!
We don’t always come out the other side unscathed, but you are doing fantastic! I’m proud of you!
Besides, you have a great smile! 💜
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You care way more about this than anyone around you cares about this. Legit no ones looking at your teeth. If you wanna get it fixed for you then thats great, but dont let it harm your confidence.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
It happens to the best of us. It could have just as easily happened anyway through genetic reasons or lack of ability to afford care.
What matters is you’re taking care of yourself now
SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Life happens. Lots of people have a missing tooth for various reasons, either from accidents, decay/weak teeth, lack of fluoride as kids etc. You wouldn’t know it though, because modern dentistry can make the replacement look so natural. I know someone with a false tooth due to lost it as a teen from a bad bike fall. Even if your reasons are different, it doesn’t matter. It’s natural to be upset, but also remember you’re doing so well now and looking after yourself! Hope you feel better soon!

You’re a lovely man even when you’re not smiling, and you’ve come SO far since the “stupidity” you’re now paying for.

This has been a stressful week but I’m feeling grateful. Grateful for you lot, grateful for my work team who didn’t blink when I had a minor panic attack today and thought nothing of my spending the meeting sitting on the floor cuddling the office dog so I could stay grounded and regulated and still participate. And having access to an office dog is 👌 There are still good peeps out there.

Today in the junior class I was observing, the teacher handed out connector pens. Some kids started using them as guns and point them at others. Wouldn’t care but they were distracting each other. So I went around the room and collected the pens, and of course offender numero uno said,
“Whyyyyyyy?! That’s so rude of you!”
These kids just sit there talking or fidgeting the entire time and then when it comes to doing work, they’re clueless. The teacher didn’t do an awful lot of behaviour management because she didn’t want to take time out of the learning for the kids who actually wanted to be there. She also said having a seating plan makes them antagonise you more sometimes.
Ring leader of the disruptive kids was pulled out of class by the teacher. Turns out he forgot to take his ADHD meds today. This is the moment I realised why ADHD was most commonly looked at in boys. Girls tend to be less disruptive.

It’s amazing how quickly a place ceases to be a home, without all the furniture and belongings the old place just looks like empty rooms. Or maybe I just wasn’t attached to it.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
There’s only been one place that I’ve cried rivers moving out of, the rest I’ve just been “thanks, byeee”.
Is the new place feeling like home?

I decided to do a bit of tidying up of my computer files in preparation for moving off OneDrive onto Proton cloud storage. Somehow the entire day has disappeared.
it’s amazing how much of a mess my photos are - automatic backups and synchronisation across multiple apps and devices has led to a mess of duplicated files and albums. I’m going to leave all the automatic backups off and focus on organising the photos better as I go along.
My files are in a bit of a mess too. I’m intending to use the change to set up the file system from scratch in a more organised way instead of just copying the lot over. When the OneDrive plan runs out I can still access everything on there so there’s no rush to deal with all that.

Overseas visitors requested a place with Nice Coffee and Croissants… I didn’t do too well on the coffee front BC too many options and just went for very average Seven Seeds. However, we did swing past Monforte in Carlton North and DAMN that was a really good discovery. Worth the $$$. I pretty much died after eating them and am typing this comment from heaven

Well that was interesting. Just got woken up to the loud sound of “pop… pop pop; … pop”. Followed by multiple police car sirens.
I hope it was fireworks and someone just having a late night and that everyone is ok.
The police were heading towards North Fitzroy based on the sound.

Fellow night wakers, I have a question. Sometimes if I wake up in the night and cant go straight back to sleep, I’ll grab my phone and do mindless things on it until I feel drowsy again. I’ve always thought this is a bad habit, but is it really? Distracts me and I go back to sleep eventually. I have it in dark mode so minimal bright light. So should I kick the habit? What an alternative?

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Well guys, I finally did it. I went and bought nicotine patches.
spoiler
Reasons for quitting: *I want to start jogging - can’t do that on the gaspers. *We’re going to Japan this year - can’t do that on the gaspers. *I know once I’ve quitting my man will follow - I want to be the good influencer for once instead of the other way around. *I love a competition - He is now in a competition he doesn’t know about yet. All very valid reasons. Plan of attack: *This weekend will be my last hurrah. I may drunk post tomorrow. Probably. Most likely. * Starting Monday I will be patching up. *I will do my best to not be a cunt through this process. No guarantees. I’m gonna cry but I’m good. I’m gonna be such a cunt.

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Thanks mate ❤️
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You can do it! I believe in you!!!
I’m still an addict pissing money away myself (cptsd and depression do not make for good mental state when quitting, almost had to go to the ER when I tried to quit earlier this year, psych has told me to wait until I’m further in therapy 🤷🏼♀️) - what others have said about patches is good advice!
Also, find something to do with your hands! Lozenges should help with the ‘mouth feel’ but you may need to do something with your hands as well when you have an urge - it’s a mental thing. You might get all fidgety, so maybe take up drawing/doodling or knitting, reading may help, or a free mobile game or something!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Since I’ve taken off my wedding ring I started fidgeting with a pen (click click click) but I should find the fidget cube that’s somewhere in this house. It has all these different fidget fuckers on it. If I can’t find it I’ll buy another one because I’m a master fidgeter.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I haven’t smoked regularly for maybe 4 years now, I successfully quit using lozenges. Downside is, I’m now hopelessly addicted to the lozenges. Oh well, less weevils and all that
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
😂
calhoon2005@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Right on. Sincerely hope you manage to quit, but keep in mind, those fuckers are real addictive and really hard to quit so don’t beat yourself up too much of it doesn’t go as straight forward as you hope. I smoked heavily for 14 years. Took me about 5 tries to be successful in quitting. 14 years ago in February just gone… Having said that, I hope your smash it. Look into Parkrun for jogging. It’s the bomb.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve been smoking now for nearly 30 years apart from the one year I had my daughter, which was easy to give up, so I know it’s gonna be the second most toughest thing I’ve had to do in my life.
I’m a realist. I’m expecting failure at first but I’ve got tenacity on my side. 💪

Fucking onions.
Eagle@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You got this. I’m 12 years free next month. I used patches too, and the man followed me 6 months later but he too champix. Its tough, and I used the quit app at the time, it had games and info which helped. Treating each craving as it comes and then celebrating that success later worked for me. Because they’re just cravings, and life has thrown worse shit that I’ve survived, you know?! Anyway, best wishes on your journey, and find something for your hands!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Thank you ❤️
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I found having an emergency spray thingie in my handbag was very helpful when I was starting on patches. Cos patches take time to work and the spray is immediate and tides you over until the patches kick in. I didn’t like using the gum.
I also found that the patches sometimes left a sore red mark on my skin when removed. Usually when that bit of me got overheated or sweaty. Chemist also warned me NOT to put the patch anywhere near where I was going to spray perfume or deodorant - apparently these kick the patch glue into overdrive and can burn the skin chemically. I usually ended up putting the patch on my upper leg. Hope this helps a bit.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
I’ve tried the gum once before and didn’t like it because I don’t chew gum anyway. I’ve tried the spray and it wasn’t bad but this time I’ve gone with the lozenges. I don’t mind sucking on a lolly.
I was thinking about sticking the patch on my leg so this does help. Thank you ❤️
dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
You can cut the strong patches up to make weaker ones, no need to pay the same price for a seven pack of half strength ones.
I’ve got a bit of hair pretty much everywhere, I’d put some sports tape over the patch to hold it on.
Sticking stuff to your body, tape or patches, after a while the sticking gum stuff will cause a bit of irritation. After removal, cleaning the site with alcohol swabs or an essential oil on a cotton bud will remove the leftover gum in a way that soap won’t.
My mate got onto the nic vapes via a prescription he got online.
Patches gave me weird sleep, I took them off in the evening.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This is all very useful information. Thank you. Luckily I’m like a hairless cat thanks to genetics.
I don’t want to go down the vape route but if in the future I have to I will.
I’m expecting failure but I know me well enough to know if I fall I will pick myself up and keep going and each time it will get easier and easier. I just have to start.
indisin@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Sorry for the double reply but just re-read your spoiler. Be warned about Japan. Not smoking is extremely hard despite you not being allowed to smoke in public. 20%+ of the population smoke.
The cigarettes are $6 for 20 Marlboro Red and you can smoke indoors whilst eating food in some places. The novelty of it means you will almost certainly smoke. I did as I couldn’t resist. Excessively. Last year. And I quit about 6 years ago. If you’ve recently quit it will be even harder for you. You will almost certainly smoke there. Even my non smoking partner smoked.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
Interesting. It’s more the flight over I’m worried about. 😂
indisin@aussie.zone 3 weeks ago
This is probably a bit left of field as a tip that I personally found helpful (note that I do vape, but with almost no nicotine simply for the hand to mouth habit which I can’t break):
So I always carry a box of cigarettes with me wherever I go, having them on me means that I never have that “oh no, I’m out of ciggies. Need buy cigarettes immediately at any cost” feeling and it reminds me not to smoke.
Also know that having a single cigarette isn’t game over. You got this!
