Great job! A year is big news. I get you on the ups and downs of self-esteem. Sometimes life just throws you curveball after curveball and it gets tough not to get down on yourself. Keep swinging for the fences, all we can do. I pray your job earch bears plentiful fruit soon <3

Drinking alcohol before/after work and thinking that life is not worth living in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I feel you. It's soul-draining to work as a pleb grinding away and under the geara of capitalism. My advice is to find your passion, what makes you tick. For me it was returning back to nature, reading and getting creative. Alcohol has a tendecy to get in the way of those pursuits, at least it did for me.

I would try and change up your routine (it's not easy) to find something that really makes you happy. It wont necessarily happen overnight but when you find a genuine love than it'll be worth the effort you put in in spades. I wish you the best and feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk to someone. We're here for you comrade <3

Thank you. Absolutely. It is a scourge akin to the scourge of Capitalism, in fact exacerbated by the chains of the system and the despair it incurs to our fellow working class men and women. I'm blessed to have made it out, I can only hope to help our other brothers and sisters as well.

Rules & Guidelines:

Keep things respectful and civil, recognize everyone is on a different stage of their recovery.
Solidarity is key! Respond with kindness and empathy to your fellow comrades in their struggle.
There's room for venting frustrations, but try and keep things focused on the positive, meaningful changes we can make to impact our lives and others.
No glorifying drug and alcohol usage and no 'war stories' (addiction escapades), unless warranted by the context of the topic at hand.
All addictions are welcome, this is a safe space for comrades trying to sober up from ANY substance.

For sure. It's been a great past two weeks though. I'm definitetly feeling more like myself again.

Sweet! I just created it. It's called sobriety, I wanted a space where everyone could go to stay sober, not just alcoholics or a particular drug. Here's the link:
