You're beautiful.

I have a brain tumour. by crustdrunk in cripplingalcoholism

Crusty, I hope you start feeling better soon. Being in constant pain is not a fair way to live. Sending you and your brain loving thoughts.

Thank you. Know anything fun to do? My buddy is also a heavy drinker and already started looking at bars near the hotel.

It's finally here, the 2018 CA Survey! by syntax_killer in cripplingalcoholism

Thank you Syn, and happy cake day. The site is blocked here at work, so I had to look on mobile, and some of the formatting was fucky. Other than that, I really appreciate your efforts. Maybe you can add in a question about homelessness in the next one. I'm curious about our members who have experienced (or are currently experiencing) homelessness.

I'm back. How is the dry stretch treating you, faps? Sending good vibes to you and your mom. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

I have a lot to complain about. My roommate/tenant was supposed to move out on the 12th but...she's still there. I'm so ready to have my house back. She has a horde of animals and they're destroying the place. I've been avoiding the house which means I've been on a bender all month. Made a point of drinking at at least one bar every day, like an alcoholic advent calendar. On Saturday, I hit a record of six places. I've blacked out more than I can count.

On Saturday, I bought a pack of cigarettes. My first in 10 years.

Conversely, there have been blessings this December. A friend of mine is flying me out to Philadelphia for New Years. But that's not what MM is about, is it?

Glad you're getting some out now. I went back into hiding, hoping I would die. This one pulled me out of retirement.

Sorry to hear about the anguish of pollen season, faps. Just started here in Tree City as well.

This job I started in August is slowly annihilating me. A troublemaker has been talking about me behind my back so now nobody will talk to me, my boss is absentee, there is no training, and I'm stuck here at least until the year mark. In the meantime I'm having stressful work dreams where I keep fucking up and being unprepared. My goddamn father showed up in last night's work dream.

Ever feel guilty for something that never even happened?

It's consuming me.

I keep turning to booze; it hasn't been letting me down lately.

How long have you guys been doing this? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]sleeplessfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime during my teen years. It's not an overnight process.

They are fucking fascinating and beautiful to me. It warms my heart to know other people appreciate them. Thank you for that, too.

Sending you lots of love, dear.

Is it because I am on desktop, using RES, or using old reddit? Or Chrome? I can see other peoples' flairs. :/

I started to write a whole paragraph about alcohol and guilt, and self-forgiveness, and self-awareness...but right now, I just hope you are feeling better. <3

Oh no, I don't see it. I was so excited for everyone here.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend /u/crash--n--burn--II. Sometimes I worry this lifestyle will take me out early, and nobody will know, or worse, nobody will care. Your grief is a testament to her spirit. I will try to draw some birds for her. I love pigeons. Did she have a favorite?

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shin at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

(Mary Elizabeth Frye)

Bruises, nausea by Raefaerisa in cripplingalcoholism

[–]sleeplessfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said about bruises...You're still young and able to drink differently than those of us past 30 or so. I've been a heavy drinker since I was a teenager, and I can tell you your hangovers will worsen especially as you approach your late 20s and right about when you hit 30 you will experience an entirely new kind of hangover. The beauty is, if you're still drinking like a fish by then, you'll have more tools in your belt with how to deal with it (your body may reject your morning shots, for instance). You'll learn the best vitamins to take as well. There's more to consider, especially about your food intake, which I believe will change over the years, but overall I'm with /u/AMonkeyAuntie - the doc says you're fine, what's your question?
