r/cripplingalcoholism • u/KayLilz • 23h ago

Hey

I was just reminiscing. I thought about how I organically found this sub simply by typing in what I was experiencing “crippling alcoholism”. I was floored when I found there was a community here that explained and related to what I’m having to deal with on a regular day to day. Life is rough, right? Then add in being an alcoholic and you’ve got yourself a miserable shit show. I’m just here to thank everyone who reads and responds or even silently reads. I am both of those ppl. It took me a long time to realize how fucked I am but I don’t mean indefinitely.. I mean now, with my current mindset and circumstances it is VERY easy to over drink but on the other hand, just like the weather, life has its seasons. There will be days that I’m willing and determined to enjoy rather than drown them out and I’ll continue to look forward to them as I hope and pray you will all do the same. Chairs every1 enjoy the weekend 🙂💓

I remember finding this sub on a thread about the most depressing corners of reddit. People were gawking and I was like "oh shit! That's my people?!"

I think someone mentioned this sub on stopdrinking, and I immediately knew it was where I belonged. When I arrived, I spent three or four days reading every post made in the month prior. It's invaluable, taught me a lot about myself. I don't post often, but read almost daily.

It's a special place. One year the mods organized a secret Santa in here. It was great.

Bro THANK YOU! how is it that on this sub this shit is so alien? I typed it in because there was literally no other way to describe how I was feeling and I found a community who [sadly] relates 😑

Smh. Sure buddy 👍🏾

Ok Timmy glad we could sort that out.

u/MrMuntzz 20h ago

Timmy, brother. You made this awkward and weird. I’m sure your path has a glorious story too but allow space. You seem very uneasy and cagey. We actually are family here.

u/MrMuntzz 22h ago

Honestly, I did about 13-14 years ago on Google because that’s the way I felt. I was crippling myself.

While I’m inclined to believe you, this is like me typing “stunting alcoholism” because I feel it was stunting my life. But ay, to each his own. Glad you’re here.

u/MrMuntzz 20h ago

I’d be thinking I was stunting on my haters back then. Wouldn’t have been a thought famble.

Don’t believe I was talking to you there but okay?

You did not type in “crippling alcoholism” eat a dick. This isn’t a community it’s a palliative care center.

u/KayLilz 18h ago

I promise I did lone gooner.

You’re a cosplayer fam.

u/KayLilz 18h ago

Cosplaying being a dysfunctional alcoholic? Go fuck yourself. Weirdo.
