Real life pic thread 2: Electric Boogaloo

Oh my insomnia has me fucked up real bad. I can drink myself to sleep and wake up 4-5 hours later. My normal night's sleep sober is 3-4 hours, so adds an average hour tops, lol.

and no, December was just a huge month for drinking tbh. I had people come visit from virginia and stay for 4 days. Had a couple birthdays, had an anime con (we always do the hotel parties there). My uncle came home from Kuwait after being there for 6 months (for 2 weeks and now he's back in kuwait) and new year's.

December was stacked in terms of events. Now it's con drought season (my next one isn't until Sakuracon in April), and have 3-4 birthdays between now and then. Semester has started up again as well and half the people in my group are in Pharmacy school, so I'll be seeing a lot less of them, etc.

In all honesty, I can personally advise getting out of drinking while you still can. I was not a big drinker until my late 20s. I had a friend that would come over with a handle of Maker's Mark and declare that we were drinking that night. It was all good at first, until the nights kept becoming more and more frequent. Eventually I hit a point around age 30 that I just started drinking whiskey every night. Then it slowly became day drinking on days off. Then it turned into waking up and having a drink if I felt like it was far enough off from my next scheduled shift that the smell of alcohol would have faded in time. Now, I'm 36 years old and deal with severe alcoholic para neurapathy, increasing loss of appetite, and when I'm sober for too long, potential vomiting and DT symptoms that increase the longer that this goes on. I plan on quitting as soon as I get a few days off to check myself into the hospital to be monitored, because going cold turkey would honestly likely kill me at this point. I've been slowly weaning myself from it, but the risks of quitting completely seem too severe, so I pour a couple glasses every night with a grimace on my face, because I need the trembling to stop and to wake up tomorrow. I'm honestly crying as I post this, but the only way that my hands would be steady enough to do so is after a couple drinks. Binge drinking, no matter their frequency, lead to alcoholism eventually.

Putting aside CS for a second. Good fucking luck man. This is terrible, and I hope you get the help you need.

Agreed. I'm really rooting for you. Beating an addiction is horrible, but there's a sense of real pride and strength when you come out the other side, which you will. Keep us posted on your progress.

What the fuck is an empowerment suite

Is young people working just a meme now

[Zetanio]

Yes.

[Kuya]

I don't actually know what the term is supposed to mean since i don't work there. I do know empowerment refers to a group based intervention program. To be serious just for a moment: empowerment programs are programs designed to create a sense of empowerment in lgbt youth with the idea that this helps lower STD transmissions. Essentially places that incorporate empowerment programs tend to be lgbt centers for socializing.

I was basically volunteering to register people that day.
