This is probably the best, most striking visual to show what someone feels like when they are in their active addiction. If you think you need help, there are resources in your area. AA, NA, CA, all sorts of programs. There are people out there, just like you, who want to lift you out of that pit. Chances are, you've tried to do it on your own. Repeatedly. What have you got to lose if you try just one more thing?
Next person who makes me laugh is going to get kicked in the personals.
Fortunately, not right away because it's going to take me some time to work up to that.
@CarolynHen55369 That is funny, but thankfully, I did not LOL. I had surgery yesterday, and anything that "engages my core" is excruciating. I'm being a big baby today.
@vbspurs@Rothmus I think one clear difference between conservatives (and, increasingly, Republicans) is we are far more likely to be not scared and to mock those progressives / Democrats who spend their energy on being offended or performatively scared.
Normalize being an adult.
@FearTheBeard001 I appreciate you, brother. All is good so far. I've got some ibuprofen and a couch, so I'm pretty well set. I won't be doing any crunches for a while, though, that's for sure.
