Had the most productive day in over two weeks today and feel tons better about myself. Boring friday night talking to other alcoholics about our struggles at finding our higher powers and how powerless we are to control our substance use. A lot cheaper than going out and better company than the miserable mostly jerks I was wasting my life with on party chat rooms.

Pretty disappointed the two queer AA groups I reached out to haven't responded. I'm about done with the "queer" scene honestly. Was great to go and protest the cookers yesterday and I won't stop fighting for my own community but it feels like the greater queer community shut me out all the time and always have. Someone reckoned st kilda wasn't queer enough. Fucks sake, just let people live. Who cares? Why live in a bubble and ghetto anyway? As always you must be the first two letters of the rainbow or people are just dismissive. We'll always be there with you, thanks, yeah you asked my pronouns. That'll help next time I'm in an ambulance and get misgendered and given the wrong amount of drugs. end rant

You are one of the strongest persons I know, you can do this. 🤗 ( have you thought of a medical info bracelet? )

Thanks heaps, I'm know I'm capable and strong but honest with myself enough now to know when I need help. Medical bracelet telling someone I'm biologically female is a good idea though. My body is pretty different now. Another reason to seek help to be healthier.
