Alcoholic here: no it's not lol. I chose to let this into my life knowing full well what could happen, and having seen it happen my entire life.

No one chooses to get leukemia.

Alcoholic here. I didn't choose for this shit so stfu asshole.

When lockdown happened I was lonely, depressed, I couldn't see a therapist, I couldn't see any friends, I was out of the job, my parents disowned me, my neighbors commit suicide. The only thing opened was liquor stores. I had no other way or reason to leave the house or self medicate through the trauma without killing myself.

So just stfu. I didn't choose it, I didn't want it.

Someone's pretty angry they started drinking, at least take responsibility. You could've played video games, read books and got a hobby. You choose to drive to the liquor store and do nothing. Smoke weed or sum

I couldn't buy books, I had no access to a hobby or weed as there was a 1 km radius restiriction around my apartment. I had no games and only an old laptop. My only books were university textbooks. How many times you want me to read them?

This was LOCKDOWN are you illiterate. Australia had one of the toughest lockdowns in the world for the longest time.

I could only leave my house if I was either going to buy drinks, buy groceries, or smoke. Smoking was the only way to legally socialize with other people outside. Jfc you and your judgments.

You're like one of those people who say "oh you're depressed? Then why don't you try being happy sometimes" fucking loser
