This PoTD sucks.
Whats your favorite part of this year?
And my choices are:

Getting time off. (Nope, Im a RN, people dont stop getting sick for the holidays, so no time off)

Presents. (Presents are fun but arent a necessity. And I certainly dont feel inclined to ask for them. Most my family is as broke as I am lol)

Spending time with family. (Dont get me wrong I love my family. And I see them all the time anyway. Those people that you only see and talk to once a year arent family, if they dont want to make an effort/ accept my attempts to be in each others life all year round, I dont want them in it at all)

The Weather. (for me this one is the most laughable. I live in the pacific north west, and here we have two seasons: Cold & Wet, and More Cold less Wet)

And the final option:
Nothing. I cant stand the holidays. (I am not a Scrooge. I have nothing against the holidays. In fact I quite enjoy them. Just not for the reasons above)

I like this time of year, for the Food!!!! My family always has big dinners on holidays, and it doesnt break the bank because everyone brings a dish that fits the theme, and a different household hosts each holiday so its not too much hassle for anyone.
And this time of year has the most holidays!

We have Thanksgiving!
Then Christmas!
Then New Years!
All with big dinners.

And smaller, but equally fun dinner parties for Xmas eve, and New Years Eve.

Thats 5 dinner parties total and 3 of them big, in the time span of a month and a half.
Its amazing

There are definitely worse jobs

And sometimes butts need to be wiped

Wipping butts for $15+ an hour aint that bad.

Addiction isn't really a disease people bring onto themselves because no one knows they'll be an addict until they start doing a drug or drinking alcohol. Some people can try a drug and not like it and stop. Or drink alcohol and have an adverse reaction and not want to keep drinking it. Addicts don't do that. The adverse reactions don't dissuade them from wanting to continue because they've unlocked the addiction disease in their brain.

Normal people will get hangovers and not drink for a while because they don't like it. Or they'll drink a couple drinks and stop because they know they don't want to get drunk or they have commitments tomorrow. Addicts can't stop because if they stop at two they'll literally have a physical pain in their body and mental compulsion to continue until they get drunk or black out.

But you won't know you're an addict until you take the first drink or drug. So how is that bringing it onto yourself? Once you unlock that part of you it's extremely difficult to just shut it off. It's not a switch you can just flip and you're cured.

People think that it's just so easy to stop drinking or doing drugs but it isn't.

This 100% mirrors my thoughts on the subject.
Most people can just try something and stop. Addicts cant, its the way the chemicals in their brains are wired. Its not 100% their fault.

@TC prayers dont save people. Actions do.

I honestly don't care about her any more than anyone else that does heroin.

Thats pretty short sighted. A person makes a mistake and develops a mental illness (addiction) and so you dont care about them? Theyre still human and deserve to be treated just as much as any sick perosn.
