Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I feel like I'm about to tumble. We are part of the group that had their second stimulus payment directed to TurboTax & now are told we won't see any money until claimed as a "tax credit." Ladies & gentlemen, may I present: The Shaft. Here it is! Come get some!
Ask yourself: have you been treading water lost in the ocean & finally spotted a lifeboat floating your way? Has that lifeboat then turned back with each wave, widening the gap of a bullshit tease and perhaps real salvation?
I am always getting shafted, and not the fun way. Goddamn it!!!
So NOW we wait for our W2s, don't get a tax credit we would most years as such a percentage is considered "unearned" and doesn't qualify for EIC. I need to pay a tax bill to access a relief check. Thanks.
This relief is now frozen and wouldn't you know it, our reliable car we count on, while parking this other broken money pit that waits on $1000s in repairs, has suddenly developed a serious engine problem. Both our cars are screwed.
Turns out, ignoring a clogged catalytic converter will come around to get ya eventually. I had a heater that hasn't blown for 2 winters and lets my windshield frost when it is most dangerous time. I had front end work that was about to collapse, plus more flat tires than non-cursed people would ever understand can happen to one fucking person.
I can't take this shit. I am gearing up now to say fuck it all & i am checking out. I didn't pay two bills as i counted on this money landing smoothly. We are in utter limbo with singles left.
I am thawing the reserve. I am maxing my emergency card to buy this part used on Amazon. Is it smart to buy used car parts of the exhaust nature? Probably not. We are incapable of making adult decisions..
My head is pushing real hard on my apathy buttons. How can we dig out of this pit? I don't honestly know if i will make it thru today. I am sorry.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
I hope you can ride this out and get back on your feet.
Ps watched Down by Law.... I enjoyed the slow speed. Look on the bright side, you could be a fugitive lost in a swamp and can’t swim.
Hope things get better, but booze will fix everything for a few hours then what
With one stroke of the judges pen, all my bills and loans and doctors bills were immediately wiped away! Pesto! It was a huge load lifted off my shoulders and I no longer felt a need to work two jobs anymore! I was so happy.
Two months after we signed the papers, I was able to get credit again, only this time, I was able to pay their card off completely every month before I got the bill and I have been doing that for the past 15 years! So if you got financial problems, there is no shame in getting a fresh start. That's what that law is for. Then you can afford to buy a decent car that doesn't have all those problems.
That's what I did and that's what helped me through my own recovery. Every situation is different but I am confident I did the right thing.
Good Luck
