I'm surprised this isn't talked abt much, and I know by supernatural standards it takes a lot to get drunk, but tbh? Crowley is kind of an alcoholic.
What's the first thing he reaches for whenever he encounters something that evokes great emotion? A bottle. He always goes for a bottle. He doesn't do it always w every situation but when he does he copes with a bottle. Satan's attempt to kill the children of Job. The 7 year old boy's death. The belief of it being his last night on earth thanks to Furfur's evidence. Trying to convince Aziraphale to help him raise the Antichrist. Actually losing the Antichrist. Losing Aziraphale. Nina's talk.
#good omens#Crowley#Go#Go 2#Good omens 2#Good omens meta#Not severe alcoholic but the guy does use alcohol as part of a crutch#Maybe this has been discussed before and I just haven't seen it but yea#Even in most fanarts Crowley is most associated w drinking. Aziraphale drinks too but when we think abt wine we think abt Crowley#It goes pretty unsaid but Crowley is obv nursing an ages old hurt w the devil's drink since its been invented and he discovered it existed#Aaand the way he copes w things are all Avoidant types#Sleeping himself to a coma. Drinking himself to a coma. Driving fast#Or maybe I'm just reaching Idk

not to be a freak but i hate how purity-mindedness esp around substance use will have people acting like it's insane freak behavior to practice any harm mitigation strategies other than total abstinence
#as someone with a family history of alcoholism i have a bunch of rules around drinking to make sure i don't#drink too much or do it as a psychological crutch#and people seem to weirdly find this 100% more pathological for me to do than any of the binge drinking behaviors that#are heavily normalized amongst americans in their twenties#it's truly so strange#personal nonsense#alcohol mention

stayed MOSTLY sober throughout the holiday weekend and somehow that feels monumental
#i did have some edibles last night and get a little scary high but honestly that only lasted a couple hours#and then i had one sip of a beer and one sip of a mixed drink my sister made#no other alcohol#and hey it was pretty nice to be sober and alert during the festivities#barring when me and my brother and mom were high on the sofa last night talking about star wars lmao#BUT THE POINT IS i didnt have any blackout moments and i didnt have to like crutch on my little vodka drinks to manage my emotions#so thats nice#no i dont want to have any more edibles for a long long time bc i forgot that me and weed dont really mesh#oh well! there are other substances

these past two, three years i have been trying to break the curse of being the "going-out friend" that only gets invited when drinks are involved. i'd love to tag along in book shops, at cafés, at museums and trips. i'd love to cook dinner with someone, with anyone. i've made some progress actually, which is cool. i just need to get past the part of feeling like i'm a parasite in other people's lives unless i'm there as a drunken jester
#used to be the opposite. in my teens none of my friends would invite me out haha#having two at once is surprisingly hard#a part of it is that i've been using alcohol as a crutch in social situations since the pandemic#i helped create this role for myself#very stupid#mine#it's like i tried so hard for so long to prove that i was a person that could 'hang' and drink and party and be young and dumb#and then suddenly that's all i was known for#(mostly trying to prove it to myself. that i wasn't still an uncool kid)#and i kind of stopped making nerdy friends because i hung out with a crowd that partied#and now the parties are winding down and the activities are calmer#but i don't have many hobbies in common with anyone i know anymore#i'd love to bind fanfiction and draw comics with others and all that#but suddenly those people are hard to find irl?#/rant

we turn the page to a new chapter | mutuals meet yoshiaki ♡
" aw, c'mon! " arm slung around their shoulders and a contagious smile stretching across his face, yoshi leans on his friend like a kid hanging onto his parent. he manages to throw them both off balance, stumbling a little down the sidewalk and barely missing a few passersby. his cheeks and nose are rosy, though more from the drinking than from the cold. " it's still a bit early to call it quits, don'tcha think? i'll be bored if i go home now. can't we hang out at your place or somethin'? "
#i won't lie yoshi isn't doing well if he's drinking and protesting when you suggest going home#to be clear he doesn't have an alcohol problem per se? he's not addicted but he doesn't like that he only ever drinks#when he doesn't want to be alone with his thoughts -- it's definitely a crutch vs. something to casually enjoy with friends#still i'm gonna tag this juuuust in case#and your muse would know that it's weird that he's drinking not bc he's open about why he doesn't like it#but bc he does typically avoid drinking#okay that's enough outta me asdfg pls take this silly lad <3#interactions | yoshiaki#btw i linked his temporary bio for anyone who didn't see me ramble about him a ton before :' )#tw alcoholism

It probably wouldn't work in Fallout 4 because the world is just so big, and unless you put a doctor's chair in every settlement, doctors are too few, but imagine if stimpaks healed damage, but not injuries. They can heal your cuts and bruises, but being able to mend broken bones and extreme concussions is too big of an ask. Only by going to a doctor can you fix all injuries.
#fallout 4#fallout#i like most of the doctors in fallout but they don't exactly get much use in normal mode#unless you want to change your appearance but that's a different chair#it'd probably get really frustrating if you broke your leg#but at that point it'd be great if they added in functional crutches/doctors bags#doctors bags could be a consumable like alcohol where you can temporarily ignore injuries

Personally I think taking Taylor’s lyrics and using them to claim she is/was an alcoholic is a pretty massive leap and we should probably not do that
#just read a whole thread of people talking about how this is me trying is all about alcoholism….#desperate for people to realize that getting drunk and turning to alcohol as a crutch does not automatically equate to alcoholism#this is me trying is absolutely about the first and there is no proof at all that it is about the second#ts

Dude what’s your problem with pot
Me: please don’t smoke weed in my house. I don’t like it.
Some yahoo on the internet: how dare you demand that people respect the rules of your home
#ask#anonymous#for the record I don’t like weed. much like i don’t like alcohol#i think a lot of people use it as a crutch and underestimate what can happen when you fuck with your brain chemistry#i hate weed like i hate TikTok#in the sense that I can’t stand people who overdo it#i can’t stand it when someone I’m hanging out with can’t go a few hours without getting high#i can’t stand the smell#i hate that I have relatives who smoke so much that I can’t visit my loved ones without having to deal with the smell and the high people#i don’t like dealing with high people just like I don’t like dealing with drunk people#and yet I’m the fucking bad guy

had an alcoholism nightmare. btw
#it wasn't alcohol induced it was just among many things about me being an alcohol fueled zombie#like not literally i just remember drinking and drinking and some friends were there and they drank too but not as much#and they didn't have the empty stare i felt myself having. i just didn't want to live i think#the feeling of utter helplessness.. completely giving up. there are people around me but no one can really help#and they don't try#i lived in this little village but i wasn't part of the community‚ no one truly cared for each other‚ the only thing i had was booze#copious amounts of it‚ i'd buy at the corner store and still feel emptier than ever. didn't even feel like a person#i have felt something similar before and i have drunk knowing it won't help and that's the worst part‚ there's nothing in life you can use#as a crutch‚ there is nothing#if you don't have your people‚ you don't have anything. i'm terrified of being alone like that#especially while not being isolated physically#also i'm terrified of being left to my own devices‚ which is going to happen one day#hard to imagine i'll ever be independent#i don't even have anything going for me. i don't think the world needs someone like me. for anything at all#i should drink to that#kata.txt

If its not something traumatic happening to me its something happening to someone else i care about and you literally cannot catch a break lmao
#anyway. went to pick my sister and her friend up from a club#found out that my sister got a whole ass machete pulled on her over someone trying to steal her friends crutches#while said friend got dragged into an alleyway and roughed up for trying to get them back#theyre both fine! and home safe! and pretty much uninjured!#but christ thats not going to be fun for either of them once they wake up#and the alcohol and adreneline wears off#anyway#some people can and should go rot.#who tf steals CRUTCHES and then pulls out a machete over them???#like bro!! theyre literally nhs standard! THEYRE FREE??

#boy update is that I did get over my anxieties and hang out with him at his place#after he promised ‘no implication or expectation I just like hosting people’ blah blah blah#but he really did respect my boundaries#yet I fear I was so painfully boring without the crutch of alcohol#I should talk to someone about that.#anyway still thinking of the way he hugged me#and how I will probably never see him again

Post series/post divorce beard opting to get completely sober… yeah
#he’s in therapy twice a week.#going to NA and AA meetings occasionally but trying to get out of richmond to do so#trying to quit drinking especially since he uses it as a crutch way too much#and he’s a father now. and his father was an alcoholic and he wants to get better#i def think beard is an alcoholic. he doesn’t think he is for the longest time because he refuses to consider it but. yeah#he wants to get better. he wants to Be better. and he’s trying so hard to heal and to quit drinking and using drugs#bc he has this little baby who relies on him especially if he gets full custody …

so i've been Not Drinking since december 12th (i will admit i've had a shower beer here and there) but tonight i had a hashtag Real Drink for the first time in four months and let me tell you. it's not even fun to drink anymore. am i maturing? maybe i just like to be sober and miserable instead of drunk and miserable
#not to be a fucking bozo loser friendless idiot but#i'm thinking about the persona 3 ending again. WHAT A GAME.#nooooooooo im getting sentimental while drunk. oh god i fucking hate drinking actually.#i was teetering on the edge of alcoholism for a long time and now i hate drinking lmaooooo#what does it all mean. i used to crutch on alcohol as a way to experience joy and now i'm finding that it............. isn't even fun.#anyway i cast memories of you dot mp3 upon ye#i'm fucking GOING TO BED. lest i lay down on my bedroom floor and cry. i hate this shit. i hate being alive lol#THIS IS WHY I DON'T DRINK ANYMORE.

I want to argue about this, but ST fandom Reddit users have rocks for brains, so I’d rather have tumblr people be salty with me instead 😂
#alisha babbles#strangerthoughts#anti Steve people are mad that he *checks notes* was upset she couldn’t help him with his college essay#because they had an awkward dinner with the Hollands instead#‘Steve expects her to help him with his stuff’ you mean homework??? something Steve helped Nancy with in S1???#sorry but Nancy using Steve as an emotional crutch for a year is way worse than him#encouraging her to have fun at a party. trying to get her to slow down on her alcohol intake. and leaving her in the bathroom#after she drunkenly berated him#if the roles were reversed here Steve would have been ripped apart for it#I said it in my previous comment on Reddit but no one should have to stick around when their partner is being drunk and mean#also ‘the cinematography would have implied he stayed’#lmao this show can’t imply two characters like each other without a third party needing to spell it out for the audience#the duffers aren’t that great of writers and they were more focused on j.ncy than anything else
