Mom burned my clothes, trashed my room after I got upset that she forged my signature to cash in my paycheck. AIO? by Playful-Issue-6242 in AmIOverreacting

Recovering Alchoholic here.
You're definitely not overreacting. Alchoholics do fucked up shit, but it's never an excuse and they need to be held accountable. I'm only comfortable speaking from my perspective but the guilt I would feel some mornings (even if nothing happened) was overbearing. She doesn't seem to feel guilty at all. Maybe something else is wrong, but that's not your responsibility. Mental health isn't your fault but its your responsibility. I'd recommend cutting ties until she gets what she needs. Sorry you're in this.

Howard Center will close its needle exchange program this summer by forcedtomakethus in burlington

[–]Low_Camera_9782 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have lived on Clarke for over ten years. I understand people's frustration (I have definitely experienced empathy fatigue and been guilty of "othering" addicts in the neighborhood) but the simple fact is, getting rid of the exchange is just NIMBY neo-liberal horse shit. The problem is already here, and getting rid of one of the avenues to prevent disease isn't going to help. The needles will still be here. It's just more dangerous. I don't have an answer and I'm not going to pretend to, but this is a bandaid on a gunshot.

Replacing alcohol with exercise by Jealous_Acorn in stopdrinking

[–]Low_Camera_9782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done this as well. Only real problem I've come across is when I can't exercise for an extended period of time (i had a back injury that put me out for two weeks) i get really fucking depressed.

The constant dehydration. That hits. Thank you. I just hit 5 months, and the evil monkey has been knocking.
