Easy, grow the gently caress up and deal with your problems instead of hiding in a bottle

Pennywise the Frown posted:I passionately hate AA for a few reasons but I'm aware it can help some people. It's not only the god thing, which is literally the Christian god but they just tack on at the end that "whatever you think god is". But no really it's the Christian god. Just look at the AA prayer books. Also the completely berating idea that I'm worthless and only some supernatural thing (whatever I want it to be) can help. Been there. Keep your chin up and take your meds. Keep trying to interact with the world, it really does get better with time. Or not. Whatever. I just hit 4 years of sobriety and your post literally sounded like the first year of it. Like, VA flight deck and all.

I wouldn't go that far, it's probably just that I've had more time. I think the biggest step was just realizing that everything I felt after the army and Iraq was not actually unique, special or even unexpected. I eventually took solace in understanding that plenty had gone down this road and made it. A lot of old friends did and more than a few ended it how they saw fit. Ultimately it's just life and people probably understand more about what you're going through than you want to believe right now. Whatever happens, you're not alone in what you've done and what you're going through.

I did the inpatient thing a few times as well. Getting sober was the single most important thing I did. It was hell and for what it's worth I'm in your neck of the woods. Did white city myself. The VA ultimately wasn't what got through to me. Jail, losing my family and a pair of very lucky suicide attempts finally did. That and a lot of psychotropics. As I'm sure you've dealt with, going on field trips to grocery stores was about when I started realizing I really wasn't in touch with reality anymore. Edit:come to think of it, all the mushrooms and lsd weren't helping either! Bruce Boxlicker fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Feb 21, 2017 |

Pennywise the Frown posted:I don't know. After hiding all of this stuff for for 10 years everything kind of blew up and I wasn't as ashamed and then I think I started oversharing everything. I try not to in person anymore but it's difficult for some reason. UR GAY. See? That wasn't so bad. Seriously, the biggest thing I think might help you is to internalize that a lot of people go through what you're going through. Noone is going to fault you for admitting your problems and seeking support and help. Wallowing in your own self pity is a whole different issue that will get you mocked. I don't think you are having a pity party.

dad gay. so what posted:better men than you have tried and failed by relying on their self-will. you cant fix a hosed up brain with a hosed up brain, dipshit Your post rate is sitting at 4.20 posts a day. I don't think you're allowed to post about sobriety. edit: How can that not be intentional? Is this how you limit your shitposting? Frankly I find this fascinating, please explain.

Did you ever consider perhaps just replacing "god" with "yourself"? You really seem to be getting hung up on semantics.

/\/\/\/\/\/\ All hail vendagoat Pennywise the Frown posted:This is true. I guess it's the principle of the thing. Yeah, I can say these magic words and change them to whatever I want, but then what's the point at all. edit: On second thought, you've got it all figured out. Proceed.
