Pro-tip: get that shit under control now. The longer bad dining happens the harder bad drinking is to stop. I'm not kidding.

The worst part is the side effects that don't even start till later. Anxiety in particular is the effing worst. One day I went from drinking to help anxiety to drinking causing anxiety and I had no coping skills developed. It's... Not great.

As someone who has been around urns before, I would say they are not periodically checked to ensure old blackie didn't sneak out. I think you're good.

No worries on the spelling and some use of words. You did great. To aid in your english language skills, when you use a broom, we use the term "sweep" or while you are actively using the broom in the present tense, its "sweeping". When used in past tense, its "swept".

If Blackie is the dogs actual name, i would change it...that girl you mentioned might be a redditor and the amount of time spent on the phone could oust you if and when she finds this post. Change the name of the dog to "her most beloved dog" as most of us would understand that thats what the ashes are from...the dog.

Good luck OP. Enjoy your holidays and that birthday party. Dont say anything and dont act strange....act like you belong. If you act strange, people will figure something is going on.

You didn't fuck up. You're supposed to be open with a therapist ESPECIALLY enderby your mental health is a life it death issue OP. I wish you all the best. Plan your exit, get therapy or find a support group. This trauma has lasting effects on your health. Look up ACES. Adverse childhood experiences. Childhood abuse and adversity literally shortens lives and negatively affects health and disease. You deserve love and good care and I'm sorry that your caregivers did the opposite. X

Whatever works for you. Best of luck!

Your mother and her boyfriend should have had CPS called. They weren’t doing the bare minimum, and when your older you’ll understand that it’s not a mistake.

I promise you it won't last for them and the niceness will fade overtime. This is your chance to do something about it before it gets worse for you or others

oh yeah I'm not gonna touch alcohol in a long while, if ever again at all. waking up handcuffed in a jail cell, covered in vomit and severely dehydrated is not something I wanna do again haha. I'll probably just stick to weed. alcohol is a pain in the ass

I'm trying this during tax season

Lol, I felt absolutely awful...

You've had a nasty wake up call as well, but it sounds like it could have a been a lot worse. Take your licks and take it to heart. If you dont want to be back in this situation again, you'll likely need to be a little more self aware when you're drinking.

Holy shit that sounds like hell. luckily I wasnt necessarily violent, just really loud.

and yeah I hope I don't get too big of a fine for that. the cops were saying since it was my first offense and I wasn't driving or in public then I should be fine.

yeah definitely not my smartest move. I knew it wouldn't kill me of course, but I didn't realize it would make me freak the hell out. had a rough day and decided to hit the bottle. not something I'll ever do again lol

Red/green color deficient is a thing and blue/purple is also a thing. I am both and it is awkward. My wife's favorite color is purple and she makes fun of me because she gets a lot of blue gifts.

You're what we call a "2 pint screamer" here in the UK.

You're far from the first college student to drink too much. I had to have my stomach pumped back in the day. The cops thought I was on PCP because I was so violent while blackout drunk. Broke 2 teeth face planting on ice. Woke up handcuffed to a hospital bed...

Take it seriously when you go to court, and it shouldn't be too bad.

I've learned to change the way I drink as I've gotten older and this is no longer a problem for me.

So you're on a medication that you shouldn't mix with alcohol but decided to try it anyway? That's your first fuck up.

I may have drank more than I thought, but I only remember having like 3 beers and 4-5 shots of Evan Williams.

To he clear, this church had more than a few Aryan bibles floating around between members.

That's grim. In one of the churches in my area there's even a chandelier that's shaped like a star of David.

not much tbh. ambulance showed up and told me it might be because of my zoloft.

It could just as easily have been a fire, though. My mom went outside to look for her cat one night at 3am and saw that her neighbor's garage was on fire. She woke them up, they all got out and called the fire department. There was only minor damage to the garage. They treat my mom like she's their favorite person in the whole world now

How much did you drink?!?!?

As long as the sand you brought in from the beach doesn't start smelling in that there pot, you'll be fine probably.

No running water in a house with a ten year old is also grounds for reporting them. Your sibling doesn't deserve that. Even if they're treated like royalty. A kid deserves to be able to take a shower and have their clothes washed.

LOL
