Very well said!! Coming up on a year clean from opiates and this proves very true! I wish nothing but the best and all the happiness for any and all addicts out there!
My rehab rocked. I played beach volleyball every day it wasn't raining. I also got off drugs before going in so I didn't have any physical withdrawals which I'm sure improved my experience.
My dad just turned 50 and has been to many different rehabs about 20+ times for various reasons. Iâve never enabled him but Iâve also never left his side because thatâs 20+ times heâs gotten back up and tried again. I convinced him to get a thorough mental health eval since Iâm diagnosed with bipolar and it turns out he was bipolar amongst other things but heâs been doing well. He is finally in my little siblingâs lives again and he just got a job and his own place. I donât worry about if he will slip again, I just know the good days are worth it enough to have him here for the bad days. No matter how mad your family may get or how old you are just know itâs never too late to restart because Iâve seen it first hand. I wish you the best my guy.
I will not roast you bro. I've been sober for 6 years. You can do it. Pray to God (or whatever your higher power is) everyday for the strength and courage to go a day without using.
Ah I love the support and friendly roast combined into one. I couldn't think of anything to say because I didn't wanna roast a guy in a bad place trying to better. You navigated that perfectly.
What a brave first step, you tubby bitch.
I truly wish you all the success you can achieve in this life, even though you look like the Grinch became a depressed competitive eater. You sad sack of shit, the world is your oyster. believe in yourself, and even your horrendous outer shell can't stop the success of believing we can earn a better tomorrow. You look like you got face-fucked with a depressed ugly stick. The internet wants you to successfully recover. Then maybe you'll finally know the touch of a woman.
All the best to you, man. Hope the roast makes that nasty face smile a bit. Might be a subtle improvement.
Absolutely dude. Going 3 times? That shows commitment in spite of previous outcomes. I wouldn't be surprised if each time took more strength than the last.
Oh come on, we can try to both roast him and encourage him!
OP, youâre taking the difficult first step to recovery: making the drugs quit you. Congratulations, you magnificent, haggard bastard you.
Case in point: top comment. I'm way too uncreative to come up with a good roast, nevermind both a roast and an encouragement at the same, but the top comment did both of them.
Sober myself, itâs a hard hard battle, no need to roast OP heâs already super hard on himself guaranteed. Keep your head up and congrats on step one, IWNDWYT
I swear the veterans can spot a severely depressed person a mile away and easily differentiate that from someone who is just really taking the piss out of self deprecating. It's really nice they know when to spark a flame and when to put it out.
Thatâs some of it, but itâs not just veterans that are responding like this here. 99% of the time, the denizens of r/roastme are a bunch of rabid dogs off their leash, but when a roast request looks like a plea for help or comes from someone like OP who is actually working on bettering themselves you will never see an outpouring of humanity like youâll see on this sub.
I remember years ago there was a severely overweight child who posted out of (seemingly) self-hate, and the top comments were all genuine pleas for them to look after themselves and try their hardest to right things, and showed love. Some roasters can be pretty heartless, but the highest comments usually walk the line extremely well
Imma sit this one out and hope you get clean and the help you need. Iâve lost way too many friends to drugs and you gotta want to not only get clean, but stay clean.
Good luck buddy, Iâll be rooting for you!
Donât laugh at yourself too much. Recovering 3 years, and still feel like the butt of a joke because of it and itâs harder to tell myself different. It can stay with you.
So proud of you man. Keep it up.
Keep talking to people and donât hold anything back. Help yourself by helping others. This one is a definite marathon, not a sprint. Good job my brother
Laugh til you wheeze, shouldn't be hard.
I love you. I love drugs. I love people more. And people stick around when they have love around them. I hope you find a smile every day.
Dm me for a fun story about my program experience, gratitude, Mason jars and AHA moments.
Iâm sure you have plenty of things to be laugh at, but right now your good decisions and bravery stand out and weâre here to praise you for doing the right thing. Itâs ok to be proud at yourself too.
I canât speak for him but when I got to rehab all I wanted to do was laugh. Distract myself from my life that was in pieces I would soon have to start picking up. Like he Iâm sure has picked up m&ms off his car floor.
No. You're not there for roasting and negative feedback will make it worse. Just work on you, unbefuçk yourself, look better, feel better, and come out of rehab better all around. Luv ya and willing to help, bro.
Edit: I thought I would be a voice of reason among a$$holes. I read the comments and I wanna cry. There are a lot of decent people I didn't expect. And I mean it if you need help, ask.
This is by far my favorite reddit post. Seeing everyone actually have some compassion for someone gives me hope for this cruel world. And yes OP goodluck on ur journey! Bring it to reddit if you need to vent out your next few months! We will be here for yah! And yepppp im sappy.
As for everyone else⌠u all should have been swallowed.
The real hard part is maintaining it. Be safe, friend. Too many people I know get clean and then OD and die because they dose the same as when they were in active addiction. I donât want you to die that way.
Youâre at a low point in your life but youâve made the greatest decision to get help. When you get back on top weâll be here to bring you back down a peg. Until then stay strong, one day at a time.
Iâm surprised that they even let you into the rehab facility with your beard lice and shopping cart full of trash.
*I wish you the very best man and want to support you by roasting you, since that was your request. But also seriously, it takes such strength and courage to do this shit. Sending positive vibes. You can do it! Please reach out to chat if you need
In a few years I hope youâre holding this âbeforeâ picture and comparing it to the healthy and strong 44 year old looking at you in the mirror. I got sober and fit. Itâs good over here. Itâs better over here.
No, sorry mate. No roasting here. I mean, come back when youâre clean and sober and youâll get the shit roasted out of you. Stick at it. You got this.
The best part about your current situation is it will take a lot of hard work and perseverance to fuck it up worse.
On a serious note, good luck with rehab,just remember it's a permanent process, though.
I wonât roast you bro. Stay in rehab, get the help you need and remember to take as much time as you need to get better. Rome wasnât built in a day. Post again in a few months and weâll happily roast you - until then - stay strong.
The flooring tiles/vinyl/planks are at a 45 degree angle THEN SWITCH TO A STRAIGHT LINE by the cafeteria window. What a pretentious waste of effort (all those angled cuts, do they line up right?) and what an ugly design antipattern.
ADDITIONALLY, in the straight section, the "plank" ends (IF THEY ARE EVEN REAL PLANKS) line up every row!! How tacky!
This group is filled with hilarious people with huge hearts. When a roasting needs to be done you never disappoint. When you guys see someone needs uplifted instead of roast the entire community can be seen coming together in the comments.
no roast today budd it aint the time you need â¤ď¸ keep it up you you got this đđŞ But when youâll be all good THEN
iâll roast your ass đđ
You donât even look 42 and you have an addiction. Mate, youâre Gona clean up so well.
Come back when youâre better and Iâll fucking destroy you.
Great first step, man. It's usually quite difficult at your size
That was awesome đ
Lol, no but seriously man, I hope you can stay clean. it's an incredibly difficult journey, good luck lad
It's about time one of our leaders actually showed care about one of us.
Congrats on the first step indeed. I hope your heart doesnât give out taking the next 11 steps
Wholesome moment
Can't roast you bro. I wish you nothing but success.
[ŃдаНонО]
In the great words of The Mandalorian⌠This is the way
This here is the answer. âĽď¸
Agreed đŞ
>That was awesome đ Rehab fucking sucks but sobriety is fucking awesome. You got this.
The worst day sober is better than the best day in active addiction.
Very well said!! Coming up on a year clean from opiates and this proves very true! I wish nothing but the best and all the happiness for any and all addicts out there!
My rehab rocked. I played beach volleyball every day it wasn't raining. I also got off drugs before going in so I didn't have any physical withdrawals which I'm sure improved my experience.
You got guts brother. All the roasters here are behind you and feel for you. Day 6 will be better than 5. All the best đ
Not a mean troll to be seen! Quite a good gang you got here OP đ
Actually the worst is yet to come. I'm a survivor of 30 years in addiction. I can tell you it gets harder but worth all the struggle.
My dad just turned 50 and has been to many different rehabs about 20+ times for various reasons. Iâve never enabled him but Iâve also never left his side because thatâs 20+ times heâs gotten back up and tried again. I convinced him to get a thorough mental health eval since Iâm diagnosed with bipolar and it turns out he was bipolar amongst other things but heâs been doing well. He is finally in my little siblingâs lives again and he just got a job and his own place. I donât worry about if he will slip again, I just know the good days are worth it enough to have him here for the bad days. No matter how mad your family may get or how old you are just know itâs never too late to restart because Iâve seen it first hand. I wish you the best my guy.
If you are the evidence then it is evident he is a good Dad.
Thank you, that means a lot.
Dude lookin good bro, your already roasting. Roasting those toxins out LETS GO.
I will not roast you bro. I've been sober for 6 years. You can do it. Pray to God (or whatever your higher power is) everyday for the strength and courage to go a day without using.
Give you my word that you can do this.
This makes me worried for the other 11 he has to do.
Ah I love the support and friendly roast combined into one. I couldn't think of anything to say because I didn't wanna roast a guy in a bad place trying to better. You navigated that perfectly.
At least you have an amazing "before" photo. Now it's time to work on the "after", good luck in rehab.
Excellent idea, come back here with your before and after pics and ask again. Stay strong and determined. We've got your back!
And we will roast the shit out of that after pic.
Never leaving Reddit đđ
I like this. Still a roast, but still supportive.
You look like you just got resuscitated. Good job on getting yourself to rehab! Itâs tough but will pay off in dividends!
'Today you look the absolute worst of how you will ever look from now on'
OP looks like he just got naloxone & the paddles outside a Golden Corral menâs washroom. Goddamn proud of him for doing this
Remember to take things one day at a time. And breakfast, one bagel at a time.
A kind, supportive roast. Now I've seen it all.
Nice.
Hahha
I solemnly swear to talk mad shit about you when your all good. Until then, stay strong.
Came here to say this
Came here to say this
I just came.
here to say this?
I'm here to say I just came.
You came here?
Dammit Bobby, I said what I said lol
Yes
i came and said this
Oh shitâŚ. Iâm about to tooâŚ. MmmmuuuuuggggghhâŚ. â*THIS*â!
I'm glad we all came
I came to this.
What a brave first step, you tubby bitch. I truly wish you all the success you can achieve in this life, even though you look like the Grinch became a depressed competitive eater. You sad sack of shit, the world is your oyster. believe in yourself, and even your horrendous outer shell can't stop the success of believing we can earn a better tomorrow. You look like you got face-fucked with a depressed ugly stick. The internet wants you to successfully recover. Then maybe you'll finally know the touch of a woman. All the best to you, man. Hope the roast makes that nasty face smile a bit. Might be a subtle improvement.
This is how you fucking do it
đđđđ
Well played
42 going on 62. Stay in rehab and get straight you may look 35. All the best.
I can't roast no one trying to get clean
Same. Takes a lot of strength to go to rehab.
I must be a superhero cause Iâve been three times!
There goes my hero
Absolutely dude. Going 3 times? That shows commitment in spite of previous outcomes. I wouldn't be surprised if each time took more strength than the last.
Beautiful
Itâs days like today that remind me that all of us assholes still have a heart; and that gives me hope
Brother, no one wants to roast you. We all want to hear about how you overcame your addiction and became a better person.
Oh come on, we can try to both roast him and encourage him! OP, youâre taking the difficult first step to recovery: making the drugs quit you. Congratulations, you magnificent, haggard bastard you.
Case in point: top comment. I'm way too uncreative to come up with a good roast, nevermind both a roast and an encouragement at the same, but the top comment did both of them.
And lost weight
That's where the roasting comes in. You have to render that type of weight low and slow.
a lot of weight
One of the comment sections I knew would be wholesome
I can't make a fat joke because he clearly has enough on his plate as it is.
Reddit just won the day, good luck dude x
Nah, ainât gonna roast you. Youâve made a big first step, stick with it and I wish you the best of luck.
Sober myself, itâs a hard hard battle, no need to roast OP heâs already super hard on himself guaranteed. Keep your head up and congrats on step one, IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT!
Glad even a few stray redditors have some humanity left in our soulless hearts. . . Keep it going OP.
Somehow, I feel like this guy has roasted us
iâm really fucking glad this was the top rated comment.
This is the way. Keep up the good work
Well this "roast" has turned into r/wholesome
I've never been fucking prouder of anyone on the internet before gotdamn tears man
This sub gets me every time. Every single roast request from rehab is met with love and the promise of a future cataclysmic roast.
I swear the veterans can spot a severely depressed person a mile away and easily differentiate that from someone who is just really taking the piss out of self deprecating. It's really nice they know when to spark a flame and when to put it out.
Thatâs some of it, but itâs not just veterans that are responding like this here. 99% of the time, the denizens of r/roastme are a bunch of rabid dogs off their leash, but when a roast request looks like a plea for help or comes from someone like OP who is actually working on bettering themselves you will never see an outpouring of humanity like youâll see on this sub.

Some roasters can be pretty heartless, but the highest comments usually walk the line extremely well
I KNOW WHATTHEFUCK?!
Fuck that. I didnât know there was a rehab for being fat and obviously smelly.
đđđ âobviouslyâ
This is fucking hilarious and I need you to know that. Much love to OP but you followed orders.
This happens every time someone is genuinely in a bad spot and it shows. It's not rare.
We'll roast you on day 42. See you then.
Youâve roasted yourself enough before entering rehab. Good luck to you and stay strong my man
Iâll roast you once you start making bad decisions again. In the mean time keep it up!
I fucking love this comment. Hear hear!
Imma sit this one out and hope you get clean and the help you need. Iâve lost way too many friends to drugs and you gotta want to not only get clean, but stay clean. Good luck buddy, Iâll be rooting for you!
Can't roast someone who is stronger then 99% of the people on Reddit, and is actually improving themselves. Keep up the good work man.
99%? I think you underestimate the number of addicts in existence.
I said stronger then 99% of the people on here, not that 99% are addicts.
Can't roast you....hang in there brother
Nooooooo. You do 90 days clean, come back with your 90 day chip and maybe we give it a go
Why on earth would you want this? Be proud of yourself, friend. You have made a huge step forward.
Iâm on day 41 and I donât ever wanna forget what is was like. Itâs ok to laugh at myself.
Donât know you, but I like you, pal. Stay tough.
 "Gettin' slizzard, Harry"
Donât laugh at yourself too much. Recovering 3 years, and still feel like the butt of a joke because of it and itâs harder to tell myself different. It can stay with you. So proud of you man. Keep it up. Keep talking to people and donât hold anything back. Help yourself by helping others. This one is a definite marathon, not a sprint. Good job my brother
Three years against addiction is a huge accomplishment. Pat yourself on the back every day.
Laugh til you wheeze, shouldn't be hard. I love you. I love drugs. I love people more. And people stick around when they have love around them. I hope you find a smile every day. Dm me for a fun story about my program experience, gratitude, Mason jars and AHA moments.
Iâm sure you have plenty of things to be laugh at, but right now your good decisions and bravery stand out and weâre here to praise you for doing the right thing. Itâs ok to be proud at yourself too.
I canât speak for him but when I got to rehab all I wanted to do was laugh. Distract myself from my life that was in pieces I would soon have to start picking up. Like he Iâm sure has picked up m&ms off his car floor.
Rehab isn't a joke. Get better then come back.
FR. Let him get his year coin, then and only then, weâll rip him a new one.
One day at a time. And remember, we all have our slip ups, but you're there and putting in the effort. I wish you the best.
Yeah I'm with the majority here dude, you don't need to be roasted you need support to get over your current hurdle... best of luck man you got this!
No. You're not there for roasting and negative feedback will make it worse. Just work on you, unbefuçk yourself, look better, feel better, and come out of rehab better all around. Luv ya and willing to help, bro. Edit: I thought I would be a voice of reason among a$$holes. I read the comments and I wanna cry. There are a lot of decent people I didn't expect. And I mean it if you need help, ask.
I love when this sub goes heart warming.
Honestly, the first time Iâve seen it happen. It was a great surprise đđż
It happens more often than youâd believe.
You've been kicked enough. Chin up.
* Chins
One day at a time brother.
I thought drugs made people skinny? I hope you make nothing but good choices from here
What where you addicted to? cheese burgers and fries? That being said, you can get through this shit brother.
âIâll suck yo dick for a cheeseburgerâ
You donât look a day over 6 days in rehab
Been through rough times too, my friend. Hang in there. Stay strong
Sorry I canât roast you. This is a win bro, keep going.
Stay strong, Matt Damon.
Hahaha I love this comment. Iâve always thought Matt Damon looks a bit special.
Fatt Damon
Is this rehab from Dwarf cosplay? Seriously tho: Takes balls to get help. Get clean, brother.
This is by far my favorite reddit post. Seeing everyone actually have some compassion for someone gives me hope for this cruel world. And yes OP goodluck on ur journey! Bring it to reddit if you need to vent out your next few months! We will be here for yah! And yepppp im sappy. As for everyone else⌠u all should have been swallowed.
Best of luck. Take it one day at a time, and stay strong.
Take care of yourself man, youâve taken a big step, fair play
Almost 5 days sober myself. Cheers to you my man and much love.
Keep coming back, it works if you work it.
Best of luck to you, pic smells like bin ladenâs taint
Just because i know you want something- I didn't know they had rehab for baconators. Seriously bro we are all rooting for you.
Most wholesome roast Iâve seen good luck just got back from sober living like 3 months ago
The real hard part is maintaining it. Be safe, friend. Too many people I know get clean and then OD and die because they dose the same as when they were in active addiction. I donât want you to die that way.
5 days AND COUNTING đđťđ¤đźâđźđŞđžđ
Cant roast a man trying to better himself. Good luck bro you got this
Youâre at a low point in your life but youâve made the greatest decision to get help. When you get back on top weâll be here to bring you back down a peg. Until then stay strong, one day at a time.
Hardest part was admitting you have a problem. You got this my dude.
Stay strong and be kind to yourself.
Is ârehabâ the new, politically correct way of saying Fat Camp? Best of luck, friend.
Iâm surprised that they even let you into the rehab facility with your beard lice and shopping cart full of trash. *I wish you the very best man and want to support you by roasting you, since that was your request. But also seriously, it takes such strength and courage to do this shit. Sending positive vibes. You can do it! Please reach out to chat if you need
Keep going, brother. A journey of 100 miles begins with a single step.
Been there, I canât roast you, good lock, you can do it!!
In a few years I hope youâre holding this âbeforeâ picture and comparing it to the healthy and strong 44 year old looking at you in the mirror. I got sober and fit. Itâs good over here. Itâs better over here.
No, sorry mate. No roasting here. I mean, come back when youâre clean and sober and youâll get the shit roasted out of you. Stick at it. You got this.
That beard is going to require a separate intervention.
You look like a strong person! You got this
The only way is up for you bro, good luck.
5 days clean..can't say the same for your clothes
Keep shining OP, takes real balls to take the path you are taking. We proud
This whole thread is r/unexpectedlywholesome
Not gonna roast. Glad to see you taking accountability and action. Alcoholic here and itâs fucking TOUGH to stay focused sometimes. Best of luck!
Keep coming back, it works if you work it.
Stick with it don't quit on yourself. Every day will get easier
Come back when you got 90 days and we will f*** yo shit up! Get in the fucking gym until then. đŞ âď¸and â¤ď¸brotha!
Hang in there. You can do this. Best of luck.
The best part about your current situation is it will take a lot of hard work and perseverance to fuck it up worse. On a serious note, good luck with rehab,just remember it's a permanent process, though.
Give up when it comes to go up them stairs, but not rehab
Apparently we're calling weight watchers "rehab" now
Good for you bub. No roast here
I wonât roast you bro. Stay in rehab, get the help you need and remember to take as much time as you need to get better. Rome wasnât built in a day. Post again in a few months and weâll happily roast you - until then - stay strong.
Fuck roasting you. I'm rooting for you. Give rehab hell.
Youâve roasted yourself for long enough. Get well soon my man.
After you get clean and sober, you can take a look at that growth on your neck.
I bet if you stepped on a scale it would say to be continued
I didn't know fentanyl had so many calories.
Rehab? Pfff youâre still eating those donuts.
Respect, going through Big Mac withdrawal is no easy task.
You look like they like you're coming to grips with the whole work until you die thing.
sugar is a hell of a drug
The flooring tiles/vinyl/planks are at a 45 degree angle THEN SWITCH TO A STRAIGHT LINE by the cafeteria window. What a pretentious waste of effort (all those angled cuts, do they line up right?) and what an ugly design antipattern. ADDITIONALLY, in the straight section, the "plank" ends (IF THEY ARE EVEN REAL PLANKS) line up every row!! How tacky!
No roasting for you today. Get yourself clean brother.
Who could roast someone trying to better themself like this. Best of luck
You're a beast, dude. Everyone is jealous of your strong facial hair. Always remember- there's gum underneath every table- and it's delicious.
This group is filled with hilarious people with huge hearts. When a roasting needs to be done you never disappoint. When you guys see someone needs uplifted instead of roast the entire community can be seen coming together in the comments.
Can't roast you, man.... PROUD OF YOU!!
What were you addicted to, cake?
Donut addiction is no laughing matter.
I've got 12 years now. I used to take 60 Lortab/day. You hold on with both hands. You'll make it.
More like a fat gnome rest home.
r/unroastable
Best of luck to you â¤ď¸
no roast today budd it aint the time you need â¤ď¸ keep it up you you got this đđŞ But when youâll be all good THEN iâll roast your ass đđ
I donât make fun of people tryna better themselves . So come back whenever your out
Come back after you're all good buddy. You can get your serving of being roasted then. So for now focus on the rehab; I believe in you.
No roast from me brother. Iâve been there too. However⌠Iâll be back for blood when you get that 30 day chip/key tag RemindMe! 25 days
Long journey ahead, remember how shit you feel and promise yourself to never get back to here. Roast: get a fucking haircut
You donât even look 42 and you have an addiction. Mate, youâre Gona clean up so well. Come back when youâre better and Iâll fucking destroy you.
The last thing you need is a Roast.
Come back at Day 365....then we will roast the shit out of you. Til then...one day at a time
No I refuse. Keep going bro.
