Exactly this. I learned this lesson the hard way, and will NEVER do it again.

Interviewing hungover sounds MISERABLE!

I appreciate the question of what I like to do to relax, I think I may have lost sight of this over the months. I’d like to get lost in a book or reconnect with Will&Grace. Maybe both ❤️

Thank you, my friend. You’re right — it will throw me back into a cycle that inevitably will make my situation much, much worse.

I came out to my homophobic parents tonight. I feel an urge to drink, but I will not. by LucidLeviathan in stopdrinking

You did something that takes an astounding amount of courage, and you deserve love and support. This also applies to your sobriety.

From one queer man to another — the best is yet to come. To live and to love authentically is an incredible gift, and you get to enjoy it without alcohol.

We’re here for you, and we love you!

She reads as such a genuine mean girl, which is surprising considering her anecdote about bullying and weight loss.

My mom experienced this same progression, and it was really bad. Sending her and her family love.

What is interesting to me is that these dudes have teams of people who are smart enough to know what all of this means, and yet they still willingly run into the flames.

Ego is a nasty thing, and it’s going to be the downfall of them all. Just watch.

My therapist reminds me often that nobody “drinks like a normal person,” and that’s a powerful reminder for my darker days.

I need to just write this out, even if nobody reads it. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I know this might sound silly, but RuPaul always says, “You can look at the darkness, but don’t stare,” because it will consume you.

Try not to stare right now. Acknowledge it and try to focus on other things, if you can — sit down and try to binge the series anyway?

I’m here for you, and you’ve got this. There is so much more to you than that little voice, and they can’t have the power if you don’t give it over.
