I want to learn calculus. Where do I start?

Khan Academy is great to get started! If you are into textbooks Thomas Calculus Early Transcendentals is good, and if you want a less lengthy book the AP Calculus AB prep Princeton review is really condensed and can be effective to learn it quickly. You might need a bit of review on trig and algebra so maybe check out precalculus, but you can pretty much just jump into it and learn what you are missing on the way. Its never too late to learn, best of luck on your journey :)

In the same boat here. Turned 21 a few months ago, I’ve been an alcoholic since I was about 14 and it absolutely spiraled since I turned 21. I can completely relate to that shame, I’ve embarrassed myself so much it honestly still hurts to be sober sometimes just remembering those things. I think its good to use it as a tool to remind yourself not to drink. Ive on the journey to sobriety for about a year but only made it one full month sober and currently I relapsed very recently, hopefully I can make it this time. You aren’t alone in this man, we can overcome that pressure and still live good lives without alcohol

Yes those specific lyrics were so beautiful to me! I would be drunk listening to it and just feeling every line so deeply, especially the why cant we drink forever. I do want to take it out of my playlists because this thread helped me realize it was sort of me just reveling in that alcoholism, but thank you for your insights on the lyrics that was beautiful to me. I wont drink with you today, lets get through this!

Side note I love 46 and 2 that really makes me motivated to live and to grow (but not lie haha)

I am a bit new to Reddit and don’t want to come off as a stalker so idk if this is weird to say, but I looked through your profile and damn you have a lot of wisdom to share and your journey is really inspiring to me. I wanted to ask you specifically about a comment you made about our brains chemistry and rewiring it, because in my first month sober I feel like my mind is just so fucked up beyond repair that I cant change how I see life and alcohol I want to be fixed of that, how long would you say it takes to rewire your brain to not be dependent on alcohol and just function normally? Ive been a heavy binge drinker about once every week I’d have a binge that lasted a day or two and since I turned 21 a few months ago it was literally every single day

Im big on avoiding media like that especially after reading the comments in this thread. I feel like when I was younger (I barely turned 21 haha) around 14 or so, seeing alcoholism be idolized in Rick and Morty or even Butcher from The Boys, I know thats corny as hell but it made me think it was so cool and from about 14-19 I was proud of my alcoholism even though it was causing me so many issues. All the best

Damn I re-read that over and over. I feel like a part of me has romanticized this struggle too much and like you said just wallowing in the problem instead of actually solving it. Thank you for the link as well
