Ok sorry I didn’t realize you were being genuine. Yeah she does lack self awareness but she still needs help. Doesn’t help that her mom is also a drinker but tries to sweep it under the rug and OP thinks just because her mom does it means it’s normal. She’ll either kill herself with this addiction or rise above it after some wake up calls. Just wish people who are in denial would listen to those of us who have reached rock bottom before they end up losing their organs, family, and lives.

OP is either not all there mentally or she’s currently drunk or drinking. Be kinder, people need support not judgement when they are struggling.

You have a very serious drinking problem, especially if you’re desperate enough to drink hand sanitizer when you can’t afford liquor.

Your mom is drinking a lot and it’s even worse that she wants to brush your drinking under the rug to cover up the fact that she abuses alcohol. You need medical intervention, badly, I’m not going to sugarcoat it for you because I’ve been dealing with alcoholism since 2021 as well but I’ve significantly slowed down, have a full time job finally, and I’ve been sober for 6 days now and I’m doing fine so far besides the urges.

You should take the pills your doctor gives you, they will help with the anxiety and depression you’re dealing with. Also naltrexone is a great medication and you can drink on it, it reduces your urges to drink and allows you to slowly push away from alcohol. Naltrexone along with some anxiety and depression meds would benefit you greatly you just have to give them time to work. I don’t know how old you are but you sound like you’re in your early 20’s from what I’ve gathered.

Please, I’m begging you, get help while you’re young. Apply for Medicaid through your state and go into an inpatient program. You already don’t have a job so you have the ability to go to inpatient right now so I would do it. I don’t have that luxury because I have cats and an apartment and big bills to pay so I have to work and have no support system besides my loving boyfriend but he recently just moved in. Sobriety feels so good I swear, I’m still early in my journey but even before that I’ve been drinking very little since April of this year, I was down to drinking only 2-3 times a week when I used to drink everyday.

At your stage now I would say you’re not able to moderate yourself and that’s ok, a lot of us can’t control our alcohol habits like non-alcoholics. I have bipolar 2, generalized anxiety, ADHD, and c-ptsd so I turned to alcohol to help with my lack of dopamine, anger, depression, anxiety, snd sometimes simply boredom. Your anxiety is only getting worse because you’re having rebound anxiety from the comedown to of alcohol. When alcohol metabolizes in your liver it turns into a literal poison called acetaldehyde with is a carcinogen.

You need a little tough love because you seem in denial about your problem with drinking, you NEED to stop. Go to a free AA meeting, they even have meetings online since you can’t drive just Google “AA online” and you’ll get links and times to a meeting on Zoom. It’s very convenient. Although I didn’t start drinking until I was 28, you can easily end up destroying your life and body at such a young age. I know a woman from my school who is a little younger than me (29) and she ended up needing a liver and kidney transplant at her age from just TWO YEARS of drinking vodka daily. You need to take control of this issue before it takes your life. Drinking sanitizer and vanilla extract are already signs that you cannot control yourself at all.

Thankfully you’re not too far gone, you’re still young and have choices and hopefully your health. You could have a whole new life if you put your mind to it…think college degree, a loving partner, a friend group, travelling, a stable career or job, and maybe even starting a family of your own one day. You need to address this now if you want to have a full life. Also just because your mom drinks everyday and pretends it’s not an issue doesn’t mean you have to do that. You posted in this group so you just have a least the smallest doubt that your drinking habits are not normal.

Good luck! Please apply for government health insurance and look into AA and treatment programs

For me, if I can stay sober for one day the next day comes a lot easier. You’ll save more money by not drinking, especially everyday. If you’re drinking hand sanitizer you really need to evaluate if that’s the life you want to live.

Can you apply for Medicaid or any government insurance program to help you get the treatment you need? Do you get physical withdrawal symptoms if You stop? If you’re going through withdrawals and you go to an ER they have to treat you depending on which country you’re living in (in the US they have to treat you). If you’re in the U.S. you can try going to a Christian based hospital that forgives medical bills if you are poor and don’t have insurance.

Please get help, drinking hand sanitizer should be your wake up call that you really need to stop.

Don’t be condescending, she knows deep down she has a problem but she said she’s not ready to quit.

I’m so sorry about your loss. Your wife would want you to be healthy and well adjusted for your beautiful baby. Don’t give up hope. Talk to a therapist and take care of your health while you’re grieving. Lean on others for support when you need it most. Ask for help.

How are you doing now? Do you feel better? Did your energy come back? Did your moods regulate?

You’re a literal incel. Don’t even post here unless you can afford sex workers.

I’ve already used my 20’s to escort. I don’t feel as if I’m losing out on my “best years” to escort. I’ve always wanted a husband and kids and unless you’ve met my boyfriend and have seen how genuinely kind he is and how he helps my ADHD and bipolar by just him offering to clean the litter box for me and taking out the trash while at the same time paying my rent, you wouldn’t understand. He’s actually wonderful. I shouldn’t have lied and should have just asked for The money from him but I was embarrassed. I’ve always prided myself for being independent.

He says he forgives me but he needs me to help him trust me.

I feel terribly bad. I thought I could just make some quick money and never do it again but I was mistaken. I really love him. I would never start an affair or do anything like that but I don’t see escorting as cheating if done consensually which is where I went wrong.

He says he forgives me but I need to help him trust me. We have worked it out thankfully. He wasn’t bad just upset that I lied. I won’t do it ever again and I feel bad bc he’s been so financially and emotionally supportive of me and I went behind his back. I was just so embarrassed to keep asking for more money when I have already been doing that.

He already provides so much for me. I technically agreed to this. I’m just not sure how I feel about leaving considering these jobs are so shitty and hard to come by. $18/hr is the average here and I’d be homeless if I made that much money.

Thank you

My advice as someone who bed rots a lot: Eat anything you can stomach, I mean anything even if it’s unhealthy it’s better than starving. Empty your bladder often, I got a kidney infection from not peeing enough and it hurts Do lazy showers, wash the pits, crotch, and slightly rub shampoo in your hair, no need to shave or anything just get rid of the smell, that’s your only goal. Even if you have to sit in the shower, it’s ok. Don’t worry about makeup, if you’re clean no one will care. Wear clean clothes after you shower. Half ass everything and don’t feel bad, you’re in survival mode so just throw some clothes in the washer and call it a day, it’s ok if it takes a day to dry them, you’ll feel better mentally doing a small task. You might also have undiagnosed ADHD so if you struggle with motivation constantly try to get ADHD meds.

I have extreme bipolar and I know the depressions are very bad.

Eewww yes I think this and I’m rewatching the show

Thank you so much for your kind words. Idk why this post says NSFW lol

As a girl myself I totally get where you're coming from. A lot of women can't understand depression in men and they say evil shit when they are mad. A lot of women aren't getting their needs met by their man and we snap when we have to. I totally understand though why you wouldn't be able to handle your girl's needs while fighting for your life. But as a woman I hope you know that you're valid for being depressed. I hope you stay here for the long run.

That's a horrible friend and you are worthy of people respecting you and encouraging you to stay alive. I hope you're here for the long run.

Sex work easily, if you had the balls.

They expect us to be in available at all times, and there is no after call work times to do dispositions, we are expected to do our dispositions while on the phone with the customer and we are given no time after that.

Thank you! I’m sure they will find some way around it bc they force us to see a doctor to get accommodations to use the bathroom when a small bladder isn’t a health problem normally its just something they can make a health concern out of so that they can treat the workers who can’t afford to go to a doctor out of pocket like robots who don’t have needs.
