I’m starting the day with a double Bloody Mary. The only thing I have on my schedule is replacing a toilet and my back is trash and I’m just not sure I can do it today and I’m scared to start. Been out of work for 5 months and between applications and interviews it’s about the only thing that keeps me from thinking about my world burning down around me. My only solo hobbies are video games and woodworking (badly), and there are no games I want to play right now and standing on cement working with my tools will wreck my back further.
But the worst thing is besides my wife and teens, I don’t have anyone to hang out with or talk to. If I did I would probably not be drinking. I don’t actually enjoy being drunk all that much. I don’t have a problem yet, but if this keeps up I probably will.
Anyway, enough of that shit. If it helps, share what’s going on. I’ll listen. Beats thinking about what a shit show my own life is.
If you just want to commiserate:
