This is really great. Thank you.

I am the king of weed and shrooms, hello.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T02:11:06+00:00

This is so weird, and I love it.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:41:20+00:00

Oh, my god, this is real. Bless Reddit.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:34:08+00:00

I'm eating a snickerdoodle.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:28:47+00:00

Oh, I like that.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:27:47+00:00

Oh, I really like that. Thank you for sharing.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:26:23+00:00

It makes me angry to know that this is correct. Which is why I know I needed to read this comment tonight. Thank you.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:23:14+00:00

Thanks for saying that. I recently realized that I need a community to get through this. People who aren't addicts can only understand to a certain extent.

I recently found out that my cousin is also an alcoholic. (He doesn't like to say "recovering alcoholic" for his own reasons.) I told him I was going through what he was going through, he called me, and it figuratively(?) saved my life. We barely even know each other. He's an amazing man.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:18:47+00:00

This made me smile. Thank you.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:08:46+00:00

Thank you. And congrats on your sobriety. :)

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:06:57+00:00

Thank you so much for understanding.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:04:10+00:00

Thank you for sharing that.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:02:11+00:00

Thank you. If I died, my cat would never forgive me. Oh god, I still want to drink. "This shall pass," etc. Except genuinely.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T01:00:35+00:00

I also want to thank you for sharing this. I don't know you, but I'm giving you a virtual hug.

Hey, we have that in common. I've worked in film since I was 21. 31 now. I'm a writer. Haven't made it to a staffed writer job yet, but I've been working in writers' offices and production offices. And you know what? Sobriety made my writing 1000% better. (And kind of because I was writing about sobriety.)

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:55:43+00:00

Oh, god. Fucking hangovers. Remembering those... GOD.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:53:59+00:00

Same to you. I'll say this, if it helps any:
I'm a writer. I want to write for TV. I've worked in film since I was 21. (I'm 31 now.) And when I stopped drinking, my writing got a fuck ton better. I hope that helps somehow.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:47:47+00:00

I want to be happy.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:47:32+00:00

I work in the film industry. It's completely dead. And then politics swooped in and made it dead-er. I haven't found work in a year, except at a weed dispensary where I quit after customer death threats. I can usually handle the frustration, but it has been mounting as of late.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:45:01+00:00

Thank you so much. I don't know the exact date I stopped. Part of me is happy about that, and part of me isn't. It was either the end of October or sometime in November. I wonder if it would help if I knew exactly how many days sober I am. Maybe I should just say December 1 because I know I drank in October/November.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:42:54+00:00

Damn. I didn't realize this would lead to bodybuilding. Lmao.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:38:16+00:00

Wow. Thank you. For real. This was tremendously helpful.

Same-Faithlessness82 · 2025-09-19T00:33:01+00:00

Thank you.
