    I didn’t peep, you just said you had too much to drink.

    And yes, hope is what you really need right now. You can get sober and you can be happy again, you just have to connect with a support group that understands what you are going through.

    My ex rejected AA for the longest time because we are both atheists, but he found the comraderie and support there he needed to finally sober up.

      i miss short-term memory.

      i’m addressing it (again). been to a billion aa’s, been through a month of rehab detox. the people from concurrent disorders said there’s nothing more they can do, and i swear that zoom groups are specifically designed to make you want to drink even more.

      all that said - and yes it’s a problem - but i’m kind of afraid of what i’d become if i quit drinking. it keeps me stuck to my chair. with all that i know and the way the world is going, i’d probably end up bombing a taco bell.

        Try to get back into things that used to make you happy when you were young.

        Listen to music you used to be crazy about, get back into drawing and making art.

        And if you must bomb something, please go for the fascists in power, not the working class.

          trust me, it would definitely not be the working class.

          i appreciate your advice, and i think we’re done talking about it now.
