We had a big party at one of my old share houses, so there were a few dogs. We'd buried a dead possum a week before but I can't remember it's fate. Probably road kill knowing that place. We had a giant backyard as our place backed onto council land and a creek. Dogs dug it and fought with it for a while well before anyone noticed. It was in a lot of places by that time and of course, the dogs stank. I may have been on halucinogens too, so it was yucky but fucking hilarious.
Have you seen come dine with me UK? It's camp and bitchy and the food is ok. Watching soccer was worth connecting the aerial for, sbs food is worth keeping it connected imo.
Had one of those I wasn't even supposed to be here today kind of mornings. I don't normally work Mondays. One colleague told me they were running late, but were actually at a different workplace. Poor other colleague was late because he got bailed up for money by some junkies in the city. I'm not sure if he was hurt as he has only been in Australia a couple of months so there's a language barrier, but he was shaken up pretty bad. I'll meet him at his city landing point next time we work together to see where he's walking, he may very easily be able to avoid the scummy parts of the city like I do. But yeah, standing around in one of our windy laneways for 45 minutes with an almost dead phone gave me a case of the Mondays.
Yeah the women in the program are generally better behaved . There's just not many specific women's groups and some of them are very not welcoming of trans women. I'm supposed to feel empowered and closer to my higher power after meetings, but mostly I'm just fucking annoyed now lmao. Oh well, I've stopped drinking, stopped smoking weed and stopped vaping. But I was told not to stop vaping and I stopped smoking weed ages ago, but I needed something to replace drinking with other pissheads on the internet and it has done that.
Yeah the whole being powerless forever is fine for some. Some people really do bottom out and let alcohol cause major problems in their lives. They can't be better and really need a solution.
I haven't done that, nor do I have the shitty character flaws you're supposed to ask your higher power to remove or harbour a lot of resentments. The ones I have, I've been told by members to seek professional help for, well duh. People drink because they're traumatised. No amount of saying the serenity prayer is going to make me get over some things. I don't need to make amends either, I've never fucked anyone over or slept around. Sure I missed a couple of things cos I was hungover, and my family and friends were concerned about my health, but they were pretty easy for the people to move on from after an apology and my usual lovely behaviour, plus not being hungover and or drunk.
I guess for me it's been a cheap rehab, which I needed. I was in despair and drinking myself to death, but I've recovered. The book is way too old and while being somewhat still contemporary it's just not been revised to accommodate things like adhd, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and the extra pressures of the modern world.
All the cultists just keep saying, keep coming back, what the fuck for? To be called a drag queen or creeped out and told my whole life has been a failure?
Oh is this adhd? I just thought all my friends had deserted me. I think I better call that shrink. Was meant to get a better referral from my gp last week, but it was his last day and he fucked nearly everything up, aside from all the scripts I asked him to write. I called him a drug dealer. Maybe that wasn't cool.
Misanthropy brews. Sorry if I've seemed pissed off lately, but I have been. I hope it's just the nicotine withdrawal.
I keep getting reminded in AA that many of the people there are super ill. Both by members and the ill people with their awful behaviour. A lot of misgendering and ridicule or creepy comments about my appearance. It's been mostly good for me, as it's developing a routine and meeting other sober people, but I'm having doubts about staying long term like some of the cultists as I call them. The whole idea of getting people to sponsor each other is quite problematic, as they have zero training and there is no training or place to complain about someone being really bad at it except to other members, and then you're kinda breaking the anonymity. Nothing's perfect and it definitely works for a lot of people, but there's also a pretty low retention rate in the program. I won't throw in the towel yet, but I've definitely narrowed my scope and actual places I can feel safe without getting resentful or angry with someone else in the room, which is exactly what we're told to avoid. We're supposed to turn the other cheek and try and help that person, but they're a creep, they're obviously going to take it the wrong way.
end rant.
has anyone else had any experience with these anonymous groups?
Something something flu season. My 83 yo mother and my son both just didn't bother wearing masks on the plane recently. Despite mum nearly dying from covid and me having it for six months. Jesus... and then were a bit put out when I've been a bit aloof these last two weeks. I've just started a new fucking job ffs. I'm not on permanent yet. Everyone sucks but me, and the people on this forum, you're all alright <3
I gave a guy $20 recently. Went to coles and got it out. He looked like he needed it. He was sitting outside the shops with a sign. He saw me about a month later on a tram and told me it really helped him out. Why are we supposed to be able to laugh at the homeless and or broke? I think it's kinda pathetic.
Yeah, allies are doing their ummm best? At least things are slowly changing. but fucken ell some of the crap we hear from people over time is everything from funny to completely insensitive.
I found it all quite hilarious. How to be a better ally: Don't use dead names when you're chugging.

Not disappointed, I'm a cat lover and this brought back a hilarious memory I shared below.
