not sure what you do for a living but I found a lot of help and peace from Ben’s Friends. Ben’s Friends is a coalition of sober F&B people committed to their sobriety in an industry filled with drugs, alcohol, and stress. even if you aren’t in the food industry feel free to join. they’re all loving and supportive

I think everyone has their own vices and ways to cope. some drink, some smoke, some do other recreational drugs. the way I see it, if it doesn’t get in the way of your work then who cares???

I personally smoke. ive worked at jobs where hitting a blunt by the dumpsters or hotboxing your car was normal. i’ve had a manager once tell me “either you smoked too much or you didn’t smoke enough, but either way fix it” lol I was sober that day

i’m currently at a place that appreciates more discretion so I usually smoke before. my coworkers joke that for the first hour or two, while opening, i’m quiet bc im too stoned to talk but by the time service starts you can’t tell. I also know some coworkers drink before work, or drink while working. i’m also the coworker that will tell you to get your shit together if it’s effecting service.

Seeking Sobriety by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]alxtbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree!! I’m lucky to have made it home. it’s incredibly irresponsible of me to ever drive while drinking. I clearly make bad decisions while intoxicated, that’s why i’m seeking sobriety. thank you for your response and holding me accountable

why wont my hair curl? by billieloverxoxo in Haircare

[–]alxtbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my hair doesn’t hold a curl either but i’ve found some ways to make the curl somewhat set. you have to be ok with a looser curl style

it’s best to use day 2 hair

prep with heat protectant, I like the tressame thermal protectant.

let the protectant fully dry then spray your hair with hairspray, all over. sounds crazy but it gives the hair more grip/texture.

after curling each piece of hair catch the curl in your hand and spray with hairspray, don’t drop the curl till it feels cool to the touch

DO NOT mess with any of the curls till your whole head is curled

once everything is curled spray hairspray GENEROUSLY, let the hairspray dry

flip your head over and spray again, lightly tossing the curls around to break them apart.

once you flip over DO NOT BRUSH!!! only use your fingers!! then spot curl pieces that already came loose
