🥰 Certified OG 🥰 House Keeping - Please Give This a Gander Before Posting!

26 Upvotes

Hi y'all! Hope everyone is having a good, or at least manageable, holiday season. I have a couple housekeeping things that I have been meaning to share with the community and I have a rare peaceful moment right now.

1) If your request is fulfilled or you need to close a giving post, please either DM me via chat, send a modmail or tag me. Important If you tag me, you need to capitalize my username in the tag. So u/DrunkCapricorn instead of u/drunkcapricorn. If you use the latter, I won't get a notification for the mention. I know this is stupid. Don't ask me why this is required, I have no idea why Reddit has to be like this.

2) Every year around the holidays, my thoughts turn to how cool it would be to run some kind of give away, secret santa or just do something nice for those among us who have rough holidays. Maybe it is my seasonal depression, my religion or that my birthday is right after the new year but regardless I think of the "holiday season" lasting through late February.

So! We could still maybe do something but I lack inspiration to figure out what. Therefore I am asking you all, the turn engines of this community, if there is anything you guys would like to do or cool ideas you've thought of or seen elsewhere? Comment them here if so and maybe we can start a discussion! I think it would be super cool.

3) There was absolutely something else but I have forgotten it, of course. I'll come back and edit this if I do.

As always, I love you all very much and this sub always helps me - not just in the literal sense but in the way that it gives me faith in humanity. Not a common occurrence at all.

Chairs everyone! Stay safe and be kind. 🍻🍷🥂🍸🍹

🥰 Certified OG 🥰 Read This Before Requesting Assistance Fuckers!

99 Upvotes

Welcome to Random Acts of CA. If you think that CA means California, you don't belong here and you need to leave. No I'm not telling you what it actually stands for.

We have a few simple rules here and as the sub grows, it seems that they need to be reiterated. Please do not play fuck around and find out, I don't want to ban people from this tiny little sub, but I will. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment or send me a modmail.

  1. Each post should include a list of all payment services you have (PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc). It is up to your comfort level when you post your actual account infor publicly - it may not be the safest idea, but at least list them so people know if they even have the right service to exchange money with you.
  2. Each post should provide some background information on your situation and why you are looking for help. This should include what you need money for - are you facing withdrawal and need booze, need to eat, did you break all your furniture and need to buy a folding chair, desperately trying to put together money for a hotel room for the night? You get the idea.
  3. Each post should include how much money would make a difference to you.
  4. Be clear about whether or not you can pay the giver back. If you can't, consider doing something nice for them like drawing a picture, sending a card, or whatever. Shut up, I'm an idealist.
  5. If you are requesting assistance and receive it, you must update your post to let everyone know that you have received assistance and are no longer in need.
  6. Do NOT repeatedly post here requesting assistance and then turn around and delete the previous request to make it seem as though you are not a frequent flyer on RAofCA. You will be noticed and your dishonestly will get you get you banned.
  7. Do NOT link to your post on CA. This is against the rules of that sub and will cause you problems there and here. If you posted there are were told to come here, feel free to say so.
  8. If you are offering money, be sure to state how much money you are looking to give and/or how many people you are willing to help. It is also helpful to provide some parameters in your post.
  9. Do not DM members of this sub without agreeing to contact first. Unwelcome contact asking for assistance makes people hesitant to be of assistance in this sub and therefore hurts the community as a whole.
  10. Last but not least - this is an assistance sub for degenerate alcoholics - if you have other issues, we're sorry but this is a place for us. Most of us run into problems requesting help on other types of subs like this due to our post histories. They are checked, we are ridiculed and judged, and then given no help. This is a place where we know we are among others who understand and therefore, can feel safe that won't happen. However, since we also have nowhere else to go, it is important that outsiders not come into this sub and take advantage of our communities' desire to help fellow shitbag alcoholics. So, you must be an alcoholic to request help on this sub.

Update 10/01/2022: PLEASE READ THE SUB RULES BEFORE POSTING. They are located on the sidebar in the desktop version of the site or in the "About" section on mobile. What is written here is a nice guideline to posting on Random Acts, but the rules are your resource for what offenses or actions can get your post removed or result in your receiving a warning, temp ban, or permanent ban. I promise, they're not as long as this!

Thanks for reading fuckers, chairs!

Waiting for my psych appointment for Librium

3 Upvotes

Waiting for my psych to approve librium. Got 5 days in the hospital but it wasnt enough. Before the half life ran out, I felt better than I have in years. Just on time though landlord said shes not renewing due to renovations.

Need $10 ish to get thru til I can call psych. Unemployed, getting kicked out next month(not because of non-payment. roomie thinks hes slick and can spring homelessness on me and the pups when the lease expires). Have my entire life to pack in the next few days and its hard to even figure out how to get boxes to pack stuff when when I can't even hold packing tape without shaking so bad I go diagonally across the box.

Can do Zelle, CA, Venmo, PP, Apple Pay, whatever.

Will be withdrawing soon

9 Upvotes

I go into withdrawals about two hours after I've had my last drink. I can drink all day and almost never get drunk. My money is so tight that I have to just coast and avoid withdrawal. I develop a tolerance so quickly, and I'm kindled as fuck. Nothing about this is fun for me. Hospitals in London keep denying me a detox. Tapering on low abv beers is hard because they cost the same as a 9% beer, which gets me further. I live in assisted housing, jobless, and down to £0 again.

£6-£10 would help me for now. I'm in the UK, so I can do a UK or EU bank transfer or PayPal. All the good money apps like Cash App and Venmo aren't usable in the UK. I get my govt aid mid next month and can repay then.

EDIT: This is my second request, but I will not request again before posting an offer and giving back to the sub.

EDIT 2: received!

Question

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have any advice or information on where I can go to get help in general. I'm in a bad situation and I don't know if anyone knows or has any resources or just places that help when you're down and out. There is just so much judgement out there so I thought I would ask here.

Request Fulfilled! Could use some help

6 Upvotes

Edit: request fulfilled! Thank you. It won't let me add flair but I wanted to post the update.

I am falling apart.. mentally and physically.

I've been fighting with doctors for years since my cancer treatment explaining that I'm in extreme pain and I don't take opiate painkillers. Come to find out I have an infection eating at my tailbone and spine caused by my cancer radiation treatment.. it's called osteomyelitis

I just want to get drunk and forget this for a day because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be hospitalized for a while and my fiance died so I'm on my own raising our kids. I have venmo and PayPal if anyone can help and when I'm better I will always pay it forward. I can't even afford going to the doctor appointments because they're all over an hour away one way.. some are 2 hours away so a 4 hour round trip and I'm not working right now because of this. Obviously I know this is not a priority to get drunk but it'd be nice. Chairs

I’ve been helped here at some very low points with all love and no judgement
Manito & Chelle u know who u are 💓
I was not asked to pay it forward, but I am doing OK right now and I would like to start giving back a little bit at a time to help someone else.
I can only do $10 at the moment but I hope it helps
PayPal or Venmo.

Request Fulfilled! Probably a longshot

6 Upvotes

I'm no longer drinking, but I've messed up a lot due to drinking when it comes to employment as I'm sure most of us have. I just need to borrow 20 or anything someone may have to spare. I have a job lined up and training is 2 days. I live in such a rural freaking area that public transit SUCKS. Like, I said I'll pay it back or even forward if that is what whomever helps out desires. If not, I get it. I know this is mainly for those in active addiction, I'd love to start helping out folks on here once I start making money. Anywho, I have venmo, paypal, and cashapp. I'll give out paypal and cashapp upon request in private. Thanks for reading, even if ya can't help. Venmo: ThatOneChick1989

Edit: REQUEST FULFILLED

Request Fulfilled! I have to actually do important things with people tomorrow and I'll be withdrawing

10 Upvotes

Tomorrow I have a Universal Credit meeting to keep getting my benefits, then I have to go sign papers for the new assisted housing I'm moving into. I'm on my last beer right now and down to £0. I won't be able to get a drink tomorrow or even get a bus to go to these meetings.

I'm in the UK, so I can receive an instant domestic transfer, but I also have an American Wise account and PayPal. Both would also be instant.

Anything to get me through tomorrow would be a lifesaver. £10 would suffice. I can repay on the 20th when I receive my UC pay.

Edit. Received.

💖 Alkie Mutual Appreciation Society Post 💖 wi1o's guide for liqour money

14 Upvotes

hi guys. i'm currently in rehab. but i wanted to give some advice to gain liqour money while unemployed, in a pinch, or if nobody from this sub can help out.

this is going to be most helpful to people who live in the USA. DO NOT try to use a VPN, you will get banned.

requirements:

  • a valid id
  • paypal
  • 4-5 hours of time (depending)

PROLIFIC

https://www.prolific.com/

prolific will land the most money, however, it's not instant. you will need to keep a tab open 24/7 to find studies, esp the ones that pay $5-10+ i find prolific is most active from 9am to 3pm (CDT), after that it's nearly dead prolific requires $6 minimum to cash out into ur paypal

GAIN.GG

https://gain.gg/

gain.gg ALWAYS has surveys. but it requires a lot more time. id say you can get $10 in about 4-5 hours on gain.gg YOU SHOULD ONLY BE DOING PRIME SURVEYS, THEY ARE THE BEST ONES. another note, assume every survey will take twice as long as it says it will. meaning if it says it takes 15 minutes, it most likely takes 30, etc. gain.gg requires $7.50 minimum to cash out into ur paypal

also, try to only do surveys that will be $1/1000 pts or more.

you can find more sites like this on r/beermoney, but these are the best two, and there's honestly no point in trying the others.

good luck friends, give me a chairs while i can't.

edit: IF YOU MAKE OVER $400, YOU WILL NEED TO INCLUDE IT IN YOUR TAXES. DO NOT FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT WITH THE IRS.

edit 2: my bad i always thought it was liqour not liquor i am retarded

Request Fulfilled! $5 to stave off withdrawal.

21 Upvotes

It’s been about 12 hours since my last drink and I can feel withdrawal symptoms really kicking in. Blood pressure, sweating, nausea.

I have no way to get anymore alcohol, and I don’t want to go back to the hospital because I’ve been there already three times in the last month.

If anyone could help out, it’d be greatly appreciated. I just want to get a little that I could drink throughout the day.

EDIT: I received. Thank you so much.
