    As a 28 year old lazy scraping by alchohlic I hope my brains not too fucked up. It’s only when I see posts like this that I (generally temporarily) reflect on it.

    I guess scraping by isn’t the right word. I have money and a good income. I just am checked out. Hate my job, drunk most of the time, have no idea what I want to do with my life. No real social contact.

    If I wanted to “get it together” I’d have to start over. I work in IT and I hate it. I want nothing to do with it ever again for the rest of my life. Ever.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve permadamaged it at this point though. Bleh.

      I’ve struggled with substance abuse. Get sober and give it 6 months. The human brain is amazing, it will snap back. Just gotta give it a chance to adjust.

      No time like now to take a step towards what you want to do. Do you have anything you’re interested in doing? Just taking the first steps can lighten the load and help see the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe a class or planning for your new career might take some time out of your busy drinking schedule.
