That’s appropriate, given that it makes me want to vomit.

I hope she and all the other women in that garbage cult are able to get out safely.

Is the same mental gymnastics people do when they say they’re not racist because they aren’t donning KKK hoods and burning crosses, they just judge based on skin color, use the n-word, etc. etc.

Ugh, that’s an incredibly valid point I hadn’t even thought of. Too many people don’t seek treatment as is due to stigma or lack of resources/information, we don’t need to see that increase.

I went to college with a douche who exhibited exactly that. The chauvinist asshat had the gall to tell myself and a group of other feminists that if we actually cared about feminism, we’d be opposed to Islam because of how it oppresses women.

This this THIS. They can’t trot out the mental health excuse and then willfully continue to do nothing to better mental healthcare in our country.

FUCKING THIS.

Twelve-step programs are not for me personally, for a variety of reasons, but I’ve found other resources that I mentioned in my original comment which have been just as and more helpful for my own sobriety that I intend to keep using.

Hey, thanks for projecting due to a simple difference in use of words, but I’m quite secure in my sobriety and have no intention of drinking for the rest of my life. :)

Saaame, my skin loves anything at all with vitamin C in it. Which probably means I should also just add more to my diet.

Yeah, learning to be social again after I got sober was kinda rough. I’d previously used booze to help deal with social anxiety, and then add on how many adult hangouts offer nothing but alcohol, or free booze at events and not even water, and woof. It’s gotten much easier to deal with as time has gone on, especially…

Ole Henriksen’s Truth Serum is a goddamn GODSEND. I’m pretty sure it’s the only product I’ve ever used where I’ve noticed a visible difference in my skin, and overnight at that!

MmmmHM. A large part of my own recovery from alcohol abuse was to learn as much as I could about it as possible, because understanding it helped me to understand myself and my behaviors so much better. I found some great, scientifically-driven resources and was seriously floored to learn just how detrimental it can be…

Calling somebody out for being an alcoholic isn’t criminal its compassionate.

Recovered alcoholic here (almost at 1 year, 9 months, woo!) to say that everything the good Doctor said is right on the money. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want or think they need help, and she clearly doesn’t. It sucks so much to watch someone you love get lost in the monster of addiction, when it seems like…

Strongly, strongly agreed. Working in customer service honestly gives you so much more empathy for folks working in those jobs, and in general (y’know, unless you’re a monster).

THE WAIT STAFF HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR FOOD, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS WITH THE CHEF ON YOUR POOR WAITER/WAITRESS.

I don’t really care for Kim one way or another (I mean, the general cultural appropriation the whole family does is obviously not a good look, ugh), but I am a fan of the blonde on her.

Okay, I was previously only attracted to his A+ bone structure, but HELLOOOOOOO.

Yeah, I appreciate that he was willing to admit that he’d fucked up in the past. I know several self-identified male feminists who will swear up and down they’ve never exhibited sexist behavior in their lives, contrary to things I’ve witnessed with my own eyes. I’ll take a dude admitting his shitty behavior and…
