My alcohol addiction
Especially in our current timeline. My alcoholic tendencies are at an all time high. Sigh.
But damn it feels better than being sober and seeing the idiotic timeline come to pass.
I felt this one in my bones.
well with my tendencies, i’ve found that alcohol doesn’t help anymore with the current timeline….
there’s just too much awful shit and being drunk is just frustrating because then i’m dumb and still in this stupid timeline….
i used to be able to make problems disappear (for a minute), but now they’re still right there, alcohol just makes me feel more stuck
It makes your personal timeline worse, unfortunately. I know it's hard to believe, but sobriety can make life significantly more tolerable. The problems are still very much there, but most of the underlying anxiety is caused by the alcohol, not treated by it.
It's like cigarettes - it only feels so good because first it made you feel worse. It's not even just withdrawal, it's craving. When you believe you have a "make everything better" button, it is really hard not to push it.
If you're drinking you're spending time and money that could be used for better purposes.
DM me if you want help.
This stupid timeline doesn't deserve the benefit of sobriety.
No, you deserve the benefits of sobriety.
don't listen to this guy, dm me your drinking money, that'll take care of it.
promise to uh steward that resource ahem responsibly hic
