How do you deal with relapses?

Jump

  • I guess I’m at rock bottom

    Oh, child, an alcoholic can always find a way to dig a little deeper. I don't think you've seen the bottom yet.

    I can’t afford therapy, I can’t afford to do anything other than buy random shit at the thrift store

    But you can afford booze?

  • Sugar may help, but no, alcohol is not a type of sugar.

  • One thing's for sure: no matter how bad the bad thing is, alcohol will certainly make it worse. If that's okay with you then go right ahead, but I assume you would not have made this post if that was really the case.

    Some will tell you that "relapse is part of recovery." That's bullshit. That statement is just giving yourself permission to relapse. Relapse is the *opposite *of recovery.

    • Any drug (medical over the counter or street drug) that can help relief constant stress?

  • Heroin, until you run out.

    • Smart move

  • Okay. 🤷‍♂️

    • Putin still demands entire Donbas, Trump tells Zelenskyy and Europeans – Bloomberg

  • Ukraine has never been our ally.

  • Ukraine doesn't really like us. They are an incredibly corrupt country who lies to the world. They didn't deserve to be invaded, but I'm tired of that being the world's problem.

    • Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?

  • What's important is how much you can buy, not how much money you have.

  • That's just complete bullshit. The sun's activity doesn't have anything to do with what the position of the earth is at any given time.

  • It's just not true.

    North America & Europe (temperate/cold climates) Heating dominates. In the U.S., for example, space heating accounts for roughly 2–3× more total energy than cooling on an annual basis, especially in northern and central states. In Europe, cooling demand is tiny in comparison — many countries use almost no air conditioning outside southern regions.

    Why heating dominates overall:

    • Large parts of North America and Europe have long winters.
    • Heating often uses high-energy fuels (natural gas, oil, electricity), so the energy content is higher even if cooling is more frequent in some places.
    • Cooling is mostly electric and can be efficient with modern A/C systems, so it consumes less energy per degree of temperature change compared to heating.

    • Can't argue with that

  • Prove that any cat voted for any other opponent. I'll wait. Stupid cats.

  • In most of the populated areas of the world we use a lot more energy to heat our buildings than we use to cool them. More people die of cold exposure than of heat. Warming up is good for us.
