The Place to Go for Emotional Support

It's alright about what you said a few weeks ago,  I was pretty obnoxious there for a little bit, not really sure what got into me for those couple of days or however long it was, and my response was pretty bad too.

Also, for what it's worth, I've decided to try cutting out alcohol and increasing marijuana to compensate, which I know is not ideal or the best solution but it has it's advantages to the situation I'm in now, which follows:

*Well this one's pretty obvious, but I'll list it anyway, marijuana is MUCH less harmful to the body that alcohol.  Like extremely.  Drink alcohol the way I've been for years and you'll have a shot liver.  Smoke marijuana the way I have been for years and you'll have a raspy voice.  (also, lung cancer from pot is far less likely than what most people commonly believe.)

*Being under the influence of pot is ALOT easier to conceal and less "impairing" than alcohol.

*Increasing the pot after cutting out the alcohol will make the cutting out of the alcohol itself easier and reduce withdrawals.

*Won't cause stomach problems like the alcohol is and will help with nausea.

*Plus (and this is a big one) quitting alcohol is pretty hard, and not only does pot make it easier, but once I'm used to being off the alcohol, if I decide to quit the pot as well going off pot is waaay easier than going off alcohol, from what I'm given to understand anyway.


I haven't drank any today (it's 3:45 PM where I live) but I've smoked more weed than on a normal day, and actually I feel pretty great.  It's nice to not have a headache, not feel like I have the flu, and not have an upset stomach.

Do you have the BD25 versions of Q2's prequel trilogy?  The newsgroup ones are corrupted it seems, and (to my knowledge) they have never been available in file lockers, which would in my opinion make them much easier to obtain.

Do chickens have personalities?  If so, should we be eating them?

Is not personality synonymous with flavor? 

 Not necessarily.  Everybody always wants the fattest cows, pigs, and chickens for their food, and being more fat would probably make them sluggish, therefor decreasing personality but increasing taste, so by this train of thought personality is inversely proportional to flavor.

Ouch, TK.  I'm sorry to hear that.  My situation is not that heartbreaking, my condolences. 

I will put answers to the questions in the post.

Though words are hollow comforts, they are all I can offer. Please understand that though I do not claim to have lived your life I have some true understanding of the type of pain and struggles you are experiencing.

I have some questions in case you would like to expand on your post. Answer the ones with which you are comfortable. You can PM if you'd prefer or ignore me completely; I am not here to burden you further.

How long ago did you begin drinking and at what age? About 7 years ago at age 15.

What is your drug of choice? When did you start taking it? Marijuana also at age 15, which is why I said it depends on who you ask because some would not call that being a drug addict.  It's not the drug that I'm concerned with, I know it isn't going to overdose or kill me, it's just the addiction, and how I must have it to be able to relax or go out or do anything really.

When did you last see your mother? Why were you separated? I'm not sure when I last saw her, and as far as I can tell we were separated because she had some sort of mental breakdown.  She up and left my dad and me and her whole family.  She just disappeared from everybody.  She gave my dad no explanation other than he hadn't done anything wrong, she won't talk to her own parents (which are the ones that are dying by the way), or her brothers and sisters, and she's simply mortified at the thought of ever seeing my dad again, which is another symptom of a mental breakdown seeing as, once again and by her own admittance, he did nothing wrong and didn't deserve this.

Do you live with or near your father? I live near him in a rented house by myself.  I should really try to get some roommates or something so that I spend less time alone. 

I am sorry that your grandparents are dying, but am very glad your father is a part of your life. It is so important to those of us with suicide as a constant, nagging, reminder of the easy way out that we remember the importance of our relationships and the devastation that our deaths can bring (just as you are unfortunately experiencing with your grandparents). We are all in this together and sometimes need to shift our burdens slightly in order to be able to persevere.

We are never really quite aware of how we influence the people around us. I hope it is of some comfort to you that your post has given me the impetus to live through yet one more day knowing that I have another companion on this road.

Regards,

Praetorian
