@AlexanderKingsbury @gimulnautti I grew up in #Narcissistic #Alcoholic #EvangelicalSqualor #Homeless at times living in the back of my dads #FordPickup under a canvas tarp in the bad times and squatting in #AbandonedRanchHouses in the good times. #Education was my escape. Many in my family went the #Prison #AryanNation #MethLab route or the #DisabilityQueenJesusFreak route like my little sister. I fuckin HATED my family and life. I left. #IvyLeague taught Science and Math in #Kenya #Africa

This administration will require a marathon, not a sprint. Everything is alarming, but not every single thing is a 5-alarm-fire.

Last time I went through this admin I became an #alcoholic from a combination of genetics and groundlessless and daily heartbreak. I spent the Biden era getting my shit together.

Dooming feels like realism right now. But having destroyed my mind and body doing that before, it's not an option in #sobriety for me if I want to stay that way. Watch your habits!

How you know #Hegseth is an #alcoholic: when asked what his favorite beer is, he answered Corona and Coors.

Now, those are perfectly serviceable swilling beers. They're fine if price is more important to you than taste, quality, etc. But if you're making "on air personality" money and those are your favorites? That means you don't care about quality, just getting drunk.

Further, he states that he's most switched from beer to gin because beer now upsets his stomach ...something that happens if you drink so much so regularly – particularly of swill alcohols – that you've destroyed your alimentary canal. Gin ain't easier on your stomach, but it is easier to hide (even easier is vodka, so I'm wondering why he's become a gin fan instead of a vodka fan, but his brain's so pickled that's probably beyond him).

Continued thread

During testimony in the United States Senate on Tuesday, Pete Hegseth, former Fox News personality turned president-elect Donald Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Defense, refused to answer a question regarding whether he’d follow an order from Trump to shoot at demonstrators.

FYI if you require an app to abstain from #Alcohol for a single month, you're an #Alcoholic and the first step isn't going to be downloading an app, but acknowledging your problem (do know that you aren't alone and it's also not your fault.) After acceptance it is time to start working towards change and if an app works best for you, then download away!
