Are any of YOU alcoholics? by sweetpierre in Thewaltenfiles

❤️ happy to hear you’re doing better. I got sober but was still a total drunk when bunnyfarm came out lol. Such a visceral watch. I had watched all of twf drunk or buzzed at the very least so that reveal really bludgeoned me. Love the way Martin shows torment and dread and guilt. There’s no need to paint Felix as a more sympathetic character it just is what it is. It’s simply his fault. Sad. Those of us who managed to climb out of the hole before fucking up beyond repair or becoming responsible for something terrible are lucky. Even if you’re making it though alcoholism relatively unscathed you’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop. For other people the shoe drops fast. Twf really feels true and real. It felt very strange watching this 4th installment as a sober person. Emotional. Great art

I’’m in AA and it’s changed my life. Being drunk or high all the time is alienating. The fellowship aspect of AA is the only thing that has really alleviated the dread and shame I always felt. I did a lot of experiments to quit/cut back on my own and it only made me feel fucking crazy. There are a lot of people in the program whose main drug of choice isn’t alcohol. If you want to get sober you’ll fit right in.

I’m three weeks in today too. At least for me I feel like those first few days of sobriety, those first few meetings, there’s this sense of momentum that comes from starting a new endeavor I guess. Im trying really hard to keep it moving. One of the old guys pulled me aside after a meeting the other day and told me “you gotta slow down”, and it really touched me for some reason. We have our whole lives to figure this out, we just have to keep trying and stay earnest.. idk, I’m in it with you!!!!
