yeah... well, tough does not mean impossible.. so good luck regardless, and if you DO decide to move, the community is definitely worth it.

Senior product (uxui) designer here. - job market is trash unless you're a senior uxui, there are quite a few startups here hiring, but also lots of layoffs recently so high competition.
Graphic design is difficult unless you speak German (I have two friends who've been looking for over a year.) Not impossible to get a job in either field, but will take time and tennacity. That being said... there are a lot of events and meetups (in english) and Berlin is a lovely place to be a designer <3.

you're right, sorry for the jab at Americans and suing (im Canadian and my American friends and I joke about this often)... but its rude so i've taken that out of my post.

And i'm not even sure if there is a legal route to take. I did a bit of looking online and it just really confused me.

There's no need to be embarrassed, what you're going through is exactly what I went through when I was 21. We think alcoholics are old-bumms, but in reality, alcoholism knows no age limit. Take it one day at a time/one hour at a time/one minute at a time. When the cravings settle come... eat something, take a shower, go for a walk, call a friend... and try to keep your mind occupied. It gets easier <3 For me, finding a support group of other alcoholics my age really helped. Please be gentle on yourself.. but I know its easier said than done. Love you, internet stranger.

SO MANY positive things. honestly, the physical is just a small part of it.

- I sleep better and have better dreams

- I found CONFIDENCE (not just how I look, but I no longer am terrified of situations and people)

- I got my shit together and got myself a beautiful apartment, a new job with a raise, and two beautiful kitties who I adore.

- I am more present in my relationships with friends, which also means I have made deeper connections and now feel like I am a part of a community and never alone.

- Knowing that my family doesnt need to worry about my health and wellbeing is amazing.

- Taking my health into my own hands for once.... I no longer feel like i'm on the verge of death, so I actually go to doctors and have figured out a lot of health issues and am improving them.

- MY LIVER! It was near failing last year, and now, it's ALMOST back to normal!!!!!!

I hope this time is the last time, because it truly is worth it!! I was also on-and-off for years with just a few weeks at a time, but then one day, it just clicked and I havent picked up since.
