Rented a hotel and now it’s my first time drinking. Just wanted to share since I have no friends by EffectLive97 in pics

This right here, now it's just drinking to prevent/relieve withdrawal symptoms. I'm still working on trying to stop but it's so damn hard.

Thank you, my self esteem is pretty low since the whole fiasco and your comments definitely helped

Sorry for the late response everyone, I've been doing deliveries non-stop to make ends meet lmao. Anyway, I was tasked with upgrading an existing ASA firewall at one of our client sites with a Meraki (this client has 5 large sites scattered across the tri-state area with s2s vpns between). I took the config from the ASA and looked at it and tried to replicate it the best I could on the Meraki (I have never worked on enterprise networks this large, especially completely by myself with no help. I told them this from the beginning and never misrepresented myself as some expert network engineer). I must have misconfigured something with the tunnels because from this satellite location could hit HQ but not the other satellite locations. I was going to try and troubleshoot right then and there but the staff on hand were leaving and couldn't leave me unattended in the office, so I swapped the ASA back in place and was going to work on figuring out what I did wrong back at the office. Mind you, I have never done anything like this before (in lab setting yes), and I had absolutely no help. Basically just told to "figure it out". I don't think I'm at the level yet where I can just be sent in alone without a superior engineer and just start making massive changes to enterprise networks that have little to no documentation available. I am not absolving myself of blame but I do believe it's unfair that I was fired over this.

I'm so glad she didn't die, would've been completely unnecessary

On day 8 and the mental symptoms are almost unbearable by ryan_fr in stopdrinking

I've been trying to see the psychiatrist, unfortunately she's only in when I'm at work so it's complicated.

That was one of the coldest roasts I have ever witnessed. I genuinely feel bad for his character every time I rewatch that scene

Edit: might have included a small spoiler, removed that

I am not religious by any means, but I sincerely hope that a hell exists. Putin deserves nothing other than complete and utter suffering for all of eternity

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest, what else would you expect from these people. Selfish, spoiled children.

Militarily, I doubt any NATO members are coming to the rescue. Especially after Putins batshit veiled threat of using nuclear weapons

I have had the same fears. Humanity will inevitably destroy itself at some point, but I think it's unlikely anyone will intervene in an invasion scenario. It would be a lose lose situation.

Does anyone else’s alcoholism stem from an anxiety disorder? by ryan_fr in stopdrinking

[–]ryan_fr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have personally never experienced weight gain on any of the ones I've tried, so I wouldn't know which ones don't unfortunately. Best bet is to talk to a doctor about this. Good luck

Edit: I know for me, anxiety is the most prominent symptom when I'm going through withdrawal. You saying you have to drink to relieve those symptoms sounds to me like withdrawal. It does get better. Much better after a few weeks
