  8. CW: spoilers: The Trip To Echo Spring

    Up to page 5.

    Well written, fulfilling to read. Which has more than made up for the distress of reading about the destruction wrought by alcoholism on the characters introduced.

    Let's have a poll about sensory perception and how we experience smells, aromas & scents.

    " ... and the smell of wood smoke is articulate in the air." O. Liang

  10. CW: Alcoholism, USPol

    As I feel transperency aids in my condition, I am going to be honest. Due to increasing stress at work and watching my homeland where I grew up fall to pieces, my alcoholism has been challenging me in ways I am struggling to deal with on my own. Generally my cravings last maybe at max a day, I just resist and it flows on by.

    This last set lasted three entire months before it lessened. I ended up crying on my boss. And now I am going to do something I never could in the USA for reasons of prohibitive expense--I am pursuing therapy. I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and my first interview with a Psychologist Friday.

    I'm 5 years dry post relapse and I'd like to keep it that way.

  11. On Noise Pollution and a Skipped Bike Ride

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I know, without a doubt that if I ride with one group, especially if there are only 25 people, that it will be hard. It's because of how hard I know the ride will be that I am not keen to join that group. despite this I still considered going for a bike ride this morning, until noisy neighbours made it impossible for me to have an early night.

    There is a bad habit among alcoholics that they need to make noise at night without considering that others may want to sleep. I use the label noot because the people are alcoholics but rather because, in my experience people who behave in a toxic, selfish manner, are usually fuelled by alcohol. They only made noise until midnight but that still scuppered any chance of me going for that ride.

    The Morning Fitness Tracker Visible Consequence

    Both my Garmin Watch and Suunto watch told me that I was at a medium level of fitness this morning. If I had been able to go to sleep when I had planned to I could have been bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning, rather than fatigued.

    Cold and Grey

    Another factor for my motivation to cycle being low is that it's cold and grey, and that it's a Saturday. When it's cold and grey the roads are still wet and we can feel the cold during the bike ride. I don't need to ride in the morning. I can wait until the afternoon has warmed things up again.

    I also have the freedom to ride tomorrow, rather than today. I can wait for the nice weather. On thursday the weather was the best it has been in weeks so I ran. If it had stayed good then I would have been tempted to ride.

    Bad weather encourages me to run and walk, rather than cycle.

    Tires inflated, Lights Charged and Kit Ready

    Last night I had prepared absolutely everything, so I really expected that I would go for a bike ride today. If I had had a good night of sleep, and if I had been well rested then I am almost certain that I would have gone for my bike ride.

    Silver Lining

    Despite skipping the bike ride I behaved as if I intended to go on the bike ride. I believe that if I had been able to sleep, as desired. I would have gone on the group ride. Since I did not, I am fresh to go for a solo Sunday ride tomorrow, when I feel that roads are safer.

  12. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall has married an asshole she thinks she can “fix”. It will not go well.

    I can see why this one isn’t as popular as her sister’s works. But so far it’s my favorite. It shows a real grasp of people and while society has changed in the last two centuries, the core traits of people she describes has not.

    I particularly appreciated the story of the alcoholic whose friends won’t let him go sober.

  13. We are witnessing the rise of a "fourth wave" of psychiatry, characterized by the use of psychedelics: compounds that do not merely suppress symptoms but appear to catalyze profound, rapid, and durable healing through mechanisms of #neuroplasticity and network reorganization.

  14. Wasted Food

    Living with an alcoholic is a horrible experience. I recommend if anyone you want to date drinks heavily, to NOT date them. Cut them off immediately. Delete their number. Do not persue them or you'll regret it like I'm doing right now. Doing random things like leaving food out in random places is a thing they do. I made liver and onions for dinner the other night, only to find it just randomly placed on top of the bins. One thing I hate is wasted food. Now you might be thinking, it was just […]

  15. CW: Alcoholism, Sobriety, USpol

    One of the first things you learn in Culinary School here in Germany, like first day, is that some outrageous number of cooks are going to develop an addiction. It's around 75%, I don't know the exact number. High stress, limited ( if existant ) breaks, ridiculous hours, work weeks illegal in most industries, inhospitable environments, low pay, burns, cuts, bruises and a lack of human decency and respect, leads to cooks seeking an out. I was an alcoholic in under two years and this is how it started.

    It was 2017, I had been working at this job as a dishhand to make it through college, then my wife sued for divorce, so I needed something full time. I pushed with my chef and was promoted to a very low tier cook.

    This was also the year that I came out, and the first year of Trump's first presidency. The discrimination was immediate and intense.

    We had a vibrant diverse work team with a great boss. Then everything went to shit. At no real fault to the restaurant 5-7 cooks quit. That left me and my boss ( not head chef, general manager ) as the only people that could care for the kitchen. I was 1 year dish. 1 year a cook. Let's say this is not enough time to develop the skills to become head chef.

    The work hours were insane. The obligations equally so. Even if I had the experience to be a head chef like I do now 9-10 years in, this would have been unmaneagable. I was drinking coffee mixed with protein powder as a meal as it was all I had time for. All with intense, increasing discrimination, and an ex devoted to ruining my life.

    The stress was unavoidable. I could not run from the stress. I could not quit else be homeless. But the alcohol was free. Around the month of October 2017 I was an alcoholic. Driving Drunk. Working drunk. Lying to my friends and family. A few years later I got rouffied. Then I drove home drunk one more time and decided to quit cold turkey. The following weeks are a black point in my mind. I cannot remember what happened.

    I was sober for about a year, then relapsed in a sous chef position under a shitty head chef. I sobered up again and now I have been dry for about 4 years. The issue is that once an Alcoholic, always an alcoholic. It's not that sobriety is impossible, it's that it always comes back. Up until Sunday last week I was shaking like I had parkinsons, the desire to drink was that high. I recently had a chef quit, which in such conditions in my industry right now left me with my boss and I alone, once again in October. So my brain said "ALCOHOL, worked before, may as well try again?!".

    I stayed dry. But it required honesty with my boss and my now wifish and a great deal of self control. I tell you this because I find transparency is important and more than once the riff raff in my life has seen itself out when they learned my history of drugs and alcohol. I have a great deal of compassion and experience with addicts and addiction and a great deal of even leftists do not like this. Prosperity doctrine runs very deep in Western society.

    Judge me if you will, I could not give less of a shit. I just think if this can help one person feel less alone, or less ashamed, then I have done a good thing.

  16. Just celebrated my one year sobriety birthday. I'm grateful every day for sobriety, family, community, hobbies, work, shelter, food, medicine and so much more. One day at a time. Thank you to the addiction recovery community.

  17. "The truth is that drinking always and inevitably leads to one state: drunkenness. It admittedly provides considerable pleasure, sometimes almost sexual, but it remains a relatively immediate sensation which does not elevate the spirit. It is in no way an art. Nor is it a philosophy. It does not open other doors to understanding the world. It just makes you drunk. Full stop."
