and here’s the thing for college students: unlike with AA, it’s okay if your goal is moderation and not abstinence. no one is going to make you feel like a bad guy for being young and just wanting help getting healthier, but perhaps not wanting to commit to being totally abstinent. google SMART Recovery, guys. they’re awesome. :)

“She’s a street dog from Malta.  A rescue agency dumped her on a friend then stopped answering the phone.  I volunteered to babysit for a couple days, even though I’m not big on small dogs.  And for some reason she really took a liking to me.  She kept trying to climb up on me.  I was like: ‘What is this thing?’  Her eyes were bugging out of her head.  She was peeing everywhere.  Her nails were two inches long.  And her teeth were falling out so she looked like a vampire.  When I took her to the vet, we found out her heart was enlarged.  Her lungs were filled with fluid.  And she needed all her teeth pulled out.  On the way home I stopped by a store.  I wanted to get a small bag to carry her in, just while she recovered.  But deep down I knew.  If I’m buying a bag for a dog, there’s always going to be a dog in the bag.” (Berlin, Germany)

“I haven’t spoken to my Mom in two years.  I don’t even remember what started it.  It was on Christmas.  We were arguing about something stupid and it just escalated.  Then we started fighting about the past.  She’s at this age where she isn’t making many new memories, so she just lives in the past and glorifies the old ones.  Which isn’t a bad thing, I guess.  But she refuses to remember the hard times.  And it’s extremely frustrating.  Both my parents were always so stuck in their own stories.  Their own problems.  It was never about me.  I know that sounds selfish, but children are selfish.  You have to be selfish to survive.  I was never acknowledged.  Never encouraged.  Never had the feeling they were proud.  They didn’t even show up to my graduation.  It took me so long to get over that shit.  It took me so long to feel worthy.  And now, all these years later, my mother’s story is this:  ‘I did everything for you, I sacrificed everything, and your childhood was beautiful.’  She says it in a way that implies I should be thankful.  And grateful.  And what’s most triggering, she says it in a way that implies I should pay her back.” (Berlin, Germany)

I’m really happy for you Mr. Peanutbutter.“
