This might be outta left field (far left, of course lol) but I’m hurting real bad right now and need some fine fellows to lend moral support. I lost my fiance four years ago and still struggling with the damn bottle(and really don’t want to anymore). What is the most positive, uplifting thing you can say to someone struggling on getting back to equilibrium? I need some solidarity right now <3

      Okay, while at the dentist, they had the a(us)bc 24 hour news channel on, and I saw a PFLP flag front and centre of some footage from palestine

      I also wanted to add, detox has some real stigma, and can be undeniably bad, but cutting your drinking will undeniably do you good, and I’m proud of you for taking that step

      a place a friend was at had an intense black mould problem, i think they mostly passed the time drawing and reading, I visited them almost every day for the two weeks, and called them when I couldnt, if you dont have anyone who can come bring you supplies, I’d probably do a lot of writing and listening to audiobooks amd podcasts

      it’s pretty easy to find audiobooks free online, and pdfs and epubs are even easier, i use Read Era for pdfs on android (google play), and PageTurner for epubs (fdroid), I use antennapod for podcasts (cant recall where i downloaded that, i just remember podcast addict was draining my phone battery intensely)

      be kind to yourself, read lenin, marx and engels
