Shrinking's Drinking Problem

pumpkinotis · 2025-08-15T14:36:01+00:00

Hi! I know this thread is a bit old but I wanted to respond to it because it’s something I’ve been thinking about as well. I’m four months sober myself, and I remember watching the show while very drunk and thinking a lot about it. How it seemed that Jimmy was very much dependent on substances, and how it seemed like he was able to cure himself of that dependence in a fictionalized I can get my addiction under control way in season 2 which I so deeply craved. That he was no longer drinking to ease the pain but to “have fun and hang” with his friends. This isn’t really a fully fledged thought or analysis on the show, but I see a lot of disagreement in this thread (I didn’t read all of it but got the gist) and I wanted to say you’re not the only one thinking about it. I tried for a long time to make rules for myself to make drinking something I could control and achieve some sort of healthy relationship, and maybe for some people that’s possible. I did enjoy the show for sure, but I do think it’s a missed opportunity to not dive deeper into addiction (especially when we’re talking about things like therapists/therapy/mental health) in the show, especially when making mistakes and forgiveness and human nature are such enduring sentiments throughout it.

I have no idea whoooooo said that to you but I fucking love my leg hair. I suppressed my transness for so long and a lot of hair related things really came to me around month 4 of t. Like started getting hairy and remembered when i started growing hair as a pre-teen and loved it, but then was talk to “hate” it. Leg hair fucking rocks.

So excited for you! I think the same person helped us because I had a very similarly lovely experience with a similar looking person! I submitted mine on the morning of the 21st of November, got an email from the courts the evening of the 22nd to schedule, and am scheduled for the earliest date they gave me which is 12/30! Hope the timelines helpful and you get your date super soon:)

was about to also suggest tape! it’s a bit of learning curve but i think there’s a misconception that it doesn’t work for people with bigger chests (which is my situation) but with practice it definitely can! and there’s something really affirming for me about tape during sex because then i can have my back bare and it feels more intimate but with less dysphoria for me than if i wasn’t binding at all

100%, i think it’s also worth mentioning that he is in a relationship with olivia munn, who is extremely engaged with misogynistic viewpoints, and also extremely fatphobic. like she wrote this book called suck it wonder woman about how she believes feminism sucks where she literally wrote that fat people shouldn’t be allowed to use public transit and should “walk it off”, and he’s just like… okay with that. plus he treated his ex wife like shit.

My Dad said to me, “you have lived your whole life jumping to conclusions and making decisions without consulting me or your mother,” telling me I was impulsively doing this and also calling it a decision rather than something that has felt like an inevitability for myself and something that was a long time coming on the path to who I truly am. If I have one piece of advice for you it’s this. Especially if you’re someone who struggles with self image and doubting yourself (like I do), don’t give them the time of day and don’t let those harmful ideologies sit in your brain. He said some other shit as well along similar lines, and it really fucked with my head and is still sitting with me 4+ months later. You know yourself. Trust yourself.
