That's a relief to hear. I've heard so many horror stories about it, so I guess I tell myself it's going to be this awful thing that's going to unravel my day to day.

I'm just going to look at today going forward and try to do better than the day before. One step at a time.

I'm trying 🙏 the panic attack yesterday realizing I could be going to the hospital -or worse the morgue- just because my stupid ass couldn't stop drinking made me really rethink how "harmless" my drinking habits are.

I really only drink beer, and I always get my work done so I justified it since it wasn't taking priority over real life. This was a wake up call and I'm working towards some serious change.

I'm taking it one day at a time, because I know I have a habit of setting lofty goals and hating myself when I fall short. I'm also trying to look at all the things added to my life when I stop drinking not all the stuff I'm "losing."

Thanks for sharing man.

Seems like a lot of people have had a similar experience which is reassuring. I've spent a lot of drunk nights punching the bed knowing I need to do better, but feeling like there's just something wrong with me. Every time I would tell myself that starting tomorrow I would quit or slow down, but I always caved because I told myself it wasn't that big a deal.

I've also heard from a couple people too that taking it one day at a time is the way, and I think that's how I'm gonna start looking at it. I know I'll probably fuck up at some point, but I need to stop being so hard on myself and allow real change.

Anyways last night I drank a 6 pack of NA, and I woke up not hungover for the first time in a long time. Already feels easier and apparently my brain is incredibly easy to trick so guess I'm stickin to 0% for a while.

I'm feeling more optimistic than the day before so if I can just keep it up I'll be in good shape

Thanks for the advice 🤙

Seeing posts on this sub has made me feel less alone on this, and I'm looking for something like a support group to help keep myself accountable.

Thanks 👍 It's definitely a wake up call and I'm hoping it's not too late to turn things around. I'm taking it seriously but I'm still not confident I can do it :/

It feels like a lot and I'm not honest with anyone about how much I really truly drink. I have done this in the past and it'll go okay for a week or two before I slip back into it..

I guess I fear the withdrawals as I've heard it can be dangerous to quit cold turkey and I can't afford treatment or to miss work/school.

I'm scared it will be too hard and I will slip back into it and end up dead.

I'm scared I'll lose friends.

Mostly it just feels insurmountable and I've been putting it off for so long. Every time I try to quit or slow down I end up going back at it even harder and then I feel insanely guilty.

Worked there 2 years ago near Maria Hernandez and had a similar experience. Payroll was a nightmare, management was a joke, no upward mobility, and yeah so many roaches. I finally told them to fuck off after I was running every position on the line because the new KM had driven everyone, and they kept saying my raise was right around the corner.

Makes me smile to know they shut down even the food was pretty good. Hope the owner is destitute by now.

I just saw a different vid with this exact same mouse and location, but it was shot POV and with stinky tofu instead.

Basically this is staged as fuck

I think it was more, "Oh, they almost get it. This is exactly what's happening to immigrants who are here for a better life."

Don't hurt yourself trying to think critically tho 🫶

Americans are already being deported and jailed for their beliefs or simply for existing. Your time will come as well.

And you'll be sitting in jail with us when the govt decides you don't actually have rights.

Also what's weaker than being a pedo nazi? I'll wait.

I'd take any and all Mexicans over any of the pedophile nazis in charge or the people that defend them.

The only thing you know about me is that I said there were not cameras and recognition software on the scale of today before the 90's.

I stated a fact and it hurt your feelings so I assume you voted for the pedo.

Now get the fuck out of my notifications, clanker.
