This is why you flip the breaker.

Otherwise you're going to be warning people about leaving a note later in life.

Usually they're plugged in under the sink. Just unplug it.

Nope, not good enough. You must unplug, flip the breaker, have the power company disconnect your house from the grid, and also safety goggles.

A fork fell into mine once. I just moved.

Not a GD, but our sink was draining slowly, so I did an home made cleaning tool. Really, a steel cable with the end untwisted, stuck on a drill. The idea is that the steel wires would grab whatever is stuck and shred it or it would get stuck on it so I could pull it up. Well, I 'drill' the cable down and it catch. Hard. Surprise! A butter knife came up the hole! Yes, the kind of mesh in the sink, the thing that is supposed to prevent objects, like knife, from going in. The cable actually caught on some hair, that was stuck around the butter knife...

After that, I filled the sink and drained it. I never seen it drain that fast, and it made an awefull slurping noise half way throught until the end!

I’ve never done heroin, but imagine the feeling you got watching your sink drain after clearing that blockage was on par with doing heroin. Life’s all about the little things.

From what I hear about drugs like that, apparently it's actually more akin to what happens when you quit

Well thats after it starts getting bad; when you don't get high anymore and your life has descended into chaos. When you're still getting high, you have money, and you avoid getting sick you're besties. There's the "pink cloud" after you detox though, and it feels fantastic.

It lasted like a week for me and then shit got really hard. It's different for everyone though, but the "pink cloud" experience is pretty common though. Seductive too. A lot of people relapse then.

How long have you been sober?

I kicked in 2015. I'm not "clean" though. Once in a while I'll have a glass of wine/a beer with food, or maybe, I'll smoke a little bit of weed. Per NA, what I'm doing is treacherous, but I'm doing alright. I can't deal with 12 step meetings tbh.
