Sobering drunkenness

She wasn't sure why she started to drink. She wasn't sure why she kept doing it

She didn't care

Cracked au

CW: Alcoholism/Alcohol abuse

Luisa wasn't sure when it started. Probably in her early twenties. Her workload was getting simultaneously big, and she kept doing everything to hold on the board. But the more she forced herself to work, the harder it became. She felt drained out of any energy and strength, and then, without giving herself time to restore it properly, her own productivity kept dropping down, forcing Luisa to work even more. There was constant pain in her body that wouldn't go away; her motivation for work was getting less, and Luisa didn't know how to stop it. She wanted to suck it up and keep working like she always did. But it just kept getting worse with each passing day.

When she accidentally found a bottle of wine at Casita, probably something from Tía's collection, Luisa didn't actually plan to drink it. She just wanted to put it back on the top shelf. Why did she go to the kitchel to grab a wineglass? She just had been too tired lately. People say that alcohol is a good distraction, right? And Luisa wanted to stop worrying about her workload, get some rest, and maybe stop feeling so tired.

It didn't help. But she drank it anyway, wincing at the bitter taste as her throat was getting warmer. Alcohol was spreading through her body, tiring her mind. Luisa didn't remember how she fell asleep.

In the morning, her head was tearing apart from pain even more than usual, and her body twitched over the alcohol that Luisa consumed on an empty stomach. There was a broken glass near her, implying that Luisa fell asleep while she was drinking yesterday. Or maybe she didn't; she couldn't remember that night very well. And she promised that she would never drink again. There was nothing good in this; it didn't make her feel better. Why did people actually drink? She just felt like staying in her room for the whole day, but this wasn't an option. She thought she was going to stay sober; the taste and pain were too awful. But, apparently, she did drink again the next evening.

Even back then, Luisa wasn't sure why she drank. It didn't help her; if anything, working with hangover had been the worst thing she ever did. She didn't particularly like the taste; she really wasn't used to actually drinking before, only taking one glass at some celebrations. She just... did it. At least, a headache would distract her from this chronic pain in her muscles because of exhaustion that never seemed to go away.

Maybe when Abuela passed away, it got worse. Luisa might be over meter ninety, she might have enough muscles to intimidate anyone even without her strength, but it didn't mean she wasn't scared of her Abuela in some way, always seeking for her approval. So she didn't drink that much. But it wasn't the same with Isabela. Don't get it wrong, Luisa loved her big sister, but she... she didn't really care about her opinion. Frankly, two of them barely spoke to each other since they were like, what, early teens, maybe? So Luisa wasn't worried about disappointing Isabela. And the older out of the two couldn't really do anything to stop Luisa. The vines weren't an option against someone who could lift buildings like pillows. The only thing she would do at Isabela's demand to stop was to just roll her eyes in annoyance. Becides, it wasn't that bad. Just a little way to relax.

She kept forgetting things; her memories were blurry, dizzied with liquid running down her throat. Hovewer, Luisa didn't really care. She kept drinking. And the more she drank, the more she needed to drink to feel any effect.

Some rational part of her knew that it was wrong. She had to stop this; the alcohol didn't do anything to help her except a moment of relief, for which she would have to pay greatly the next day. But she just couldn't help it; her arms were reaching for another bottle at the shop without her realizing it. Her brain craved for another glass every evening; she needed alcohol to function normally. Somewhere deep inside, Luisa really wanted to stop, but she just couldn't.

She wasn't addicted (and even if she was, it wasn't that matter, she would just drink another bottle to forget about this fact), she just needed some distraction from her worklife that kept getting worse with each year. Because she already had too much work to do in time, and with hangovers being her new constant companion, Luisa couldn't really work in time to do even half of what she used to do before. So she worked more, and the more she worked, the more she drank. It was an endless circle where Luisa kept drowning herself deeper and deeper in this warming drink.

Her hands didn't shake anymore, grip was tight and steady. From wine she'd gotten to the stronger beverages. Sometimes it was a good aguardiente, sometimes a few shots of rum. And Luisa kept drinking, despite how her body felt like it was about to pass out at any moment. She swallowed the lump in her throat, ignoring how much she wanted to throw up.

She wasn't sure if there was an actual way to stop drinking anymore. It was her stimulation to do anything. The idea of spending even a week without another bottle felt like something unbearable. Becides, was it really that important? She could live with this. After so many years, Luisa was used to this feeling of headache or this strange fog in her brain that made her forget things in the evening. Being tipsy was her normal condition, so it didn't matter how much she drank now.

So, Luisa took another sip. It didn't matter. She wouldn't remember it in the morning anyway.

 

Somebody, please, help her

Rights of Use Dream Cast

I got asked this morning about fan casting for Rights of Use, and I wanted to share.

Sarah Anderson, Maggie Rockefeller, Lauren - pick new actors. Give someone a break.

Speaker Andrew Rockefeller - Anson Mount (Pike on Strange New Worlds. Yes, I know it's lazy casting, but he'll do great. Right fatherly protective vibes.)

Senator Charles Stokley - Bernie Sanders but less frail -- Brent Spiner or Michael Dorn? I pictured someone wrinklier... Maybe Carmen Argenziano (while we're dreaming. See note on Cliff Simon.)

Colonel Renee Marshall - Amanda Tapping would be cool, though not at all who I had in mind.

Major Jo Patrick - (Aside from someone on the Cleveland Cocoction staff who would be perfect) Rebecca Romijin (Una on Strange New Worlds) (Tawny Newsome as back up choice, mostly because I'm having trouble giving her an Irish last name.)

Lt. Kyle Fairfeld - Anton Yelchin (Checkov in Star Trek 2009 - Dreaming here. See note on Cliff Simon.)

General Marshall/Kitchell - Richard Dean Anderson

Katorin/Setira - Mary Wiseman (Tilly on Discovery. Sure, she's way too young, so digitally age her up. It's fine. She's got the right energy. She's perfect.)

Cube Head - Jack Quaid (Boimler on Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds)

Benny-J - Eric Bana (Nero in Star Trek 2009)

Green Flame - Cliff Simon (Ba'al on Stargate SG-1--Look, none of this is happening, so there's no harm in picking amazing actors who died too young.)

Neith - younger Tilda Swinton, Emma Corrin (Cassandra in Deadpool and Wolverine)

Doppelganger and Serket - I'm really tempted to say Delia Rose Gooding, because she was such a fantastically menacing character in one of the altered-personality episodes of SNW, but this book is so white on the good guy side, I am not comfortable with POC actors for the bad guys who die in the end.

Amazing actors this book doesn't have roles for, but I'll keep in mind for future fan casts:

Tawny Newsome (Beckett Mariner on Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds)

Melissa Navia (Ortegas on Strange New Worlds)

Bodhrancomedy

Bonnie Gorton (computer in Prodigy/filk singer)

Noel Wells (Tendi on Lower Decks)(Actually, she might make a nice Sarah, though I didn't show Sarah quite this excitable.)

Delia Rose Gooding (Uhura on Strange New Worlds - what a phenomenal actor!)

Jordan Ifueko (Okay, this is the author of the amazing fantasy book Raybearer, and I've seen her reels as her characters. You can't tell me she wouldn't be an incredible actress...if she had the time for it.)

Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham on Discovery)

Babs Olusanmokun (Dr. M'Benga on Strange New Worlds)

Carol Kane (Pelia on Strange New Worlds) (Yes, I'm just going down the cast list and picking actors/characters I didn't get enough of.

Gia Sandhu (T'Pring on Strange New Worlds)

Gary Jones (Walter Harriman in SG-1)

Claudia Black (Vala Mal Doran in SG-1. Look, I've got a lot of women to staff in this series.)

SHARING

by Karen Kitchel

It’s that wonderful time of year when our thoughts turn to others. While giving presents can be fun, sharing our time may be the best gift of all for some folks.

A few of the lines from the poem “Sharing” by Maude Preston might speak to you.

“There isn’t much that I can do, but I can sit an hour with you, And sometimes share a sorrow, too – as on our way we go. There isn’t much that I can do, but I can share my hopes with you, And sometimes come and laugh with you – as on our way we go. There isn’t much that I can do, but I can share my life with you, And oftentimes a prayer with you – as on our way we go.”

Karen Kitchel is the Kindness Coordinator volunteer with BTSYA. She purchased the book, No Barnyard Bullies, as a gift for every kindergarten student where she is a volunteer teacher. www.scatteringkindness.com .

Deck the halls, merry, merry, and jingle those bells. We appreciate you! 

Wishing you a blessed and festive season.

Happiest of holidays!

With gratitude,

Cynthia Brian

Charlie Hall: An All-Rounder Pioneering Customer-Focused Construction Firm at Princeton Construction

From office spaces built to welcome people and stimulate positivity to the healthcare industry designed to meet functionality and efficient work environments, and from industrial buildings that require the right construction materials to residential buildings designed to house happy and satisfied families – the architecture of buildings has a direct impact on people’s lives, happiness, and comfort. 

Who wouldn’t like to work in clean, bright, and green surroundings rather than dark, gloomy, negative-filled spaces? Well, Not me! 

The way a building is constructed is foreplanned to meet the needs and requirements of its purpose and functionality. Like an office that has tables, chairs, cabins, reception, lounge, meeting rooms, cafeteria, washrooms, etcetera. Likewise, a home that houses bedrooms, washrooms, baths, verandah, dining room, etcetera. We can see that functionality is vital in the construction of any building and its architecture enhances its design, purpose, identity, style, and aesthetics. 

When owners, tenants, or families need help either regarding the construction of their commercial or residential spaces from the ground up or be it a remodeling or interior designing service, the clients approach and seek help from construction companies that are experts in the general contracting service business.

In the year 2011, Charlie Hall founded and established Princeton Construction, LLC in Phoenix, Arizona as a boutique general contracting construction service provider, for all commercial and residential projects.

His expertise in the field has allowed him to efficiently complete high-quality standard projects that meet and satisfy all of the needs, expectations, opinions, and requirements of his clients.

 MIRACLE MOMENT®

“Forget everything else and remember your humanity.” Albert Einstein

A MESSAGE from Founder/Executive Director, CYNTHIA BRIAN

November 13-19 is World Kindness Week and if there ever was a time that we all need to consider kindness as an essential human emotion, it is now. Life is complicated, chaotic, and constantly challenging. When we pause long enough to consider the feelings of others and be kind, we can connect in a meaningful way. Kindness breeds kindness. With kindness as our guiding light, cooperation and community evolve and multiply. Our Kindness Coordinator, Karen Kitchel, offers ways for you to act with kindness. At Be the Star You Are!®, we encourage kindness in all of our daily activities and spearhead outreach programs that are kind and inclusive. We donate uplifting books to those in need. We produce and host radio broadcasts that empower and inspire. We organize and participate in events that create and foster community while making a difference. Kindness is king!

My parents taught me to treat others as I want to be treated. Most of us practice this lesson as a basic need of every human is to love and be loved, to appreciate and be appreciated, to be effective and make a difference.

How can you be kinder? First, be kind to yourself. Treat others with respect.   Offer compliments and speak in a positive manner. Find the good in someone and let them know you appreciate them. Compliment often and criticize less. Donate your time and resources to a charity or cause you believe in. Help someone in need of support. Open your heart.

Practice being kind and you’ll feel a big boost of the love hormone, oxytocin. You’ll be less stressed and discover joy in the little things. Kindness is contagious. Pass it around!

Smile with kindness and remember you humanity.

A WEEK OF KINDNESS

by Karen Kitchel

This week  promotes the importance of being kind. The purpose of the week, celebrated in November each year, is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together.

What to do?

Interrupt the ordinary

Think about the people who help you get life done (trash collector, mail delivery person, etc.) Interrupt them with a bottle of sparkling water or candy bar and a “Thanks for what you do.”

Ice cream scattering

While at the grocery store, pick up a box of  ice cream bars and drop them off at a local shelter. All you have to say is “Enjoy!”

A line to say to make someone’s day

“You are really good at what you do!”

Magazines for the homeless

If you enjoy reading, gather your used magazines and take them to a homeless shelter.

Kindness cards

Make up a few note cards to keep in your car or purse to randomly give to those wonderful folks who keep restrooms clean or the person who fills your water glass. Cards can simply say: “You are appreciated."

Treat Someone

Going out for lunch or a cup of coffee? Choose a random person and tell the server you will pick up their tab.

Karen Kitchel is the Kindness Coordinator volunteer with BTSYA. She purchased the book, No Barnyard Bullies, as a gift for every kindergarten student where she is a volunteer teacher. www.scatteringkindness.com
