Re: Hate Thread
I Hate Alcoholics. I could give 1001 reasons having had to deal with this in my family my entire life. But the primary one is simple. I hate how Their problem, their addiction, Fuck it, THEIR GOD DAMNED REFUSAL TO ACCEPT REALITY WHEN THEY'RE SOBER! Bleeds into everyone else's life and fucking De-rails it. And that's just the basic problems. It doesn't even extend into the toxic relationships, the manipulation, but worst of all is the Mother Fucking Excuses!
Now I'm not talking about the guy who enjoys a light buzz now and again, or the guy who gets absolutely BOMBED once a month, or the people who suddenly hit a really hard day, memory, or moment in their life and tap the bottle for a few weeks. Hell I've been there. But the people who truly cannot put the shit down for more then an hour without suddenly launching into some kind of misdirected rage at something simple, or who have to stay so drunk you know full well that they'd have better luck telling you how many drinks they've had in the last 10 years, then remembering the last time they were Sober.
I used to be sympathetic, I used to try and understand it's an addiction or a disease or a problem, but after 20 fucking years I'm Done. After two decades of watching the same stupid shit and dealing with someone elses fucking problems that they've either caused because they were drunk (WHEN AREN'T THEY?!) Or wound up in because the only fucking people they'll hang around with are ALSO Alcoholics or enablers, I'm done. After Hearing for the millionth time how hard their life is, how sad, how painful, how terrible, the only answer I could muster was "Everyone is miserable. You don't see the rest of us cowering and drunk and drowning in self pity every day" I'd love to be drunk, or high, every waking moment, but damnit! People have shit to do, responsibilities to handle, and a paycheck to make.
this doesn't even cover the lives actually Destroyed by alcoholics. Doesn't touch on the children without real parents, or abusive ones, doesn't hit on those killed by drunk drivers, or F.A.S. nope, not even going there! All of my Nope. No.
