it's no wonder
got yourself to blame
don't dish it out
if you can't stomach the pain
that's what i'm here for
i'm asking for it
that's what you're here for
don't you forget it
you don't wanna think about it
but you do all the time
i don't wanna make you sad
but i'm gonna make you cry
you don't wanna fucking know
all the words that i wrote
i don't wanna think about it
but i do all the time
i don't wanna make you sad
but i'm gonna make you cry
you don't wanna fucking know
you don't wanna fucking know

Addiction Treatment: Humanistic Models of Harm Reduction and Healing with Dr. Stephanie S. Covington PhD

I present to you this sector of groups and clusters of organization tactics to breaking barriers and easing temptation. Based on lived experience, perception, theory and psychological aspects of timeline clustering:



A timeline for success pertaining to the pathway to cleansing purification and detoxification.



This timeline it's not a schedule or a plan it is a thorough guidance to recover and contribute to my stability in the creation of people's unorthodox flaws aiding in the depletion and the suppressors dependency depleting without I've seen exposure for rambunctious responses which expose my self-improvement and illustrates exposure of my adequate organization of self-control and willpower.



This timeline is to serve a purpose to retract from a system of gaming to override a perception in self-esteem forced upon me by those in contingency and reliance that is forceful upon resignation. Therefore, I live in reality and not delusion of the dependent many generations beneath the 3% elite the vast majority who are the persuaders and manipulators my temptation from the devil is to resist. When I am resisting the devil, I am to resist myself from following through with the sinister's intension to stalk my mind, body, soul and spirit in every aspect of my life manifesting their viruses of Cockaluma virus within the illuminati of informants. The timeline is for the harm-reduction of the person not the people for the people is not affected by themselves even those who follow the majority will be retreated by this powerful timeline.

This timeline is to be repeated reiterate it and refreshed in a sequence which is unlimited organize and clustered root together leaving no room for others to stalk my tree of light in life.



The timeline represents 21 days consisting of 3 days to ease temptation the 21 days which is 3 weeks to break a habit or to create opposition for a categorize sector of delusion.

Clustering timelines without a time schedule has been very beneficial in contributing to me climbing the ladder to success in a flexible yet frequent way without various setbacks. I like to say as the Bible says, "It is a sin to make future plans which leaves room for error and failure. When use clustering to organize my thoughts and behaviors I find myself less stressed due to the flexibility and allowance of the window period. And options within the clustered groups where I can organize my thoughts best without referring to a documented schedule. I prefer to refer to my mental note remembering what needs to be done as opposed to what time it needs to be done without being hypocritical.



Clustering timelines is like organizing your day into cozy, intuitive "vibes" instead of stiff, hour-by-hour appointments. Think of it as grouping similar activities--like creative work, movement, or rest into flexible time blocks that match your energy, not the clock. It’s how urban creatives, wellness warriors, and mindful professionals escape the chaos of ticking timers and ride the natural rhythms of their body and brain. No more stressing over missed minutes just flowing from a focused morning zone into a nourishing lunch block, then easing into chill, low-stress evenings. It’s smart, soulful time management with groove and grace. Listen for more--

Episode 117: Sean Kathman of Start Today on harm reduction

Eris Nyx, one of the founding members of the Drug User Liberation Front (DULF), spoke about drug user rights, harm reduction, and the criminalization of care on Thursday June 26th 2025 at 5pm in the SSMU Ballroom at McGill University in Montreal. The talk was organized as a fundraiser for the DULF founders' legal defence fund, and also included a discussion by a panel currently working in harm reduction in Montreal.

DULF is a grassroots harm reduction organization based out of Vancouver BC's Downtown Eastside that pioneered a radical compassion club model to intervene in the toxic drug supply crisis, which has killed tens of thousands of poor and unhoused drug users across the country. In a fairly dramatic turn of political tides, the organizers of the compassion club, which had been tacitly permitted by the city and local police, were arrested and are now facing severe criminal charges, including the possibility of life in prison. You can read more about their evidence-based intervention and the campaign to support their legal plight on their website (https://dulf.ca/published-academic-research/). 

Find out more about DULF and donate to the legal faund at dulf.ca

The event is being co-presented by the Indigenous Support Workers Project and CKUT 90.3, and the space was secured with the generous assistance of Reform and Resettle.
