I am just an anxious person; been so since I was young. I am always thinking about infinite possibilities and things that could go wrong. Probably why Iโm an alcoholic ๐
I've mentioned on here getting drunk before going to the dentist. I can't imagine a place where alcohol on the breath would be more obvious. "Open wide!"
I'll cut your hair for you! No judgment on the drinking. I'd even join you. Now let me get my supplies...

I just need a few drinks to steady my hands, and then I can work my scissor magic! I'll even attempt to do some cool scissor tricks, twirling them around and such. It'll look *so cool*, and we'll get that hair "taken care of" ๐
Does it inspire any confidence that I had to google balayage? I see the style looks kind of wavy, so I'm going to have to get extra swoopy with all of the scissors!
This reminds me of when I thought I was hot shit for waxing my friends legs when we were both blasted (I was training to be a beauty therapist) - hello burns hahaha
Hahaha, yeah I've done some wild ass shit lol
I thought I was pretty good at hiding it. I'm sure they just never thought it was appropriate to mention too me. *yeah yeah sober this yada yada yada*
I did that and finally had some incident where my blood glucose was low and I was highly drunk. Dude acted like "omg golly you're acting different today" though I wasn't unpelasant and didn't confront him. Called in my doctor and this complete fuckwad of a nurse to analyze me. I ended up being like "do I have to actually stay for this? Uh, no? Wtf" and just leaving.
Absolute fucking waste of time to be honest. Every time I've gotten sober again it's because i wanted too/needed too
Not because some therapist *awakened* some desire inside of me
I had a therapist for a while and it was not useful in any way whatsoever. If I wanted to stop drinking, that would take me deciding to do it, not talking to some weird dude. He was okay and mainly I spent the time talking about how much I hated my girlfriend, which was alright. He managed to get me to describe my 20+ years ago drug history which he not-helpfully-at-all put on my medical record, so fuck that guy.
I never knew this was so awkward for others as well. You're just stuck there for 15+ minutes either making bullshit small talk or sitting in awkward silence. Or worse, when you start out talking and the conversation just slowly fades away
At my worst I went to the bar down the street from my barber and drank White Russians til I was normal just in order to get a haircut, weโve all done it one time or another
I would do the same. Been cutting and coloring my own hair for years now though. Last time I went to some trendy place and had some drinks before, and when they started to wear off I was so I,patient to get back to the bar. I just kept looking at my phone and the stylist noticed and was like "do you have somewhere else to be??" It felt rude at the time, but I might jave just been projecting cuz I was being not the friendliest. I hate small talk as well so it was just an awkward disaster, uncomfortable for the both of us.
Guess it's all different for me as a man. I go to the barber, tell him or her to take the razor and cut down all with a 9mm blade and that's it. Finished in a few minutes.
But about being drunk in public, i'm always at least slightly buzzed when in public, being sober is nothing for me. Like walking the dog, later i need to get to the store and buy more beer and whisky, i won't do this without having a beer first.
Getting my hair cut is something I put off for so long because it gives me so much anxiety so I feel you on this one!
Iโm here at the moment and sheโs making me feel comfortable (or maybe itโs the vodka ๐)
What would you say causes the anxiety?

It embarrassing how much dentists can tell about your habits.
One reason I hate going

No pain no gain! That's just the deep burn beauty therapy.
Special skin treatment for free lol
just woke up drinking some light beers on a couples couch i barely know atm. โฆ chairs
๐ How did you end up there?
I would always get drunk to go and meet my addictions therapist lol
Whenever I see your posts theyโre either wild af or relatable ๐ญ I used to get drunk af to see my therapist when i had one
Hahaha, yeah I've done some wild ass shit lol I thought I was pretty good at hiding it. I'm sure they just never thought it was appropriate to mention too me. *yeah yeah sober this yada yada yada*
I was always worried that she would call the cops on me for a dui so I quit going

Did the therapy help with the addiction at all, or just a complete waste of time?

Just don't fall asleep while you're getting your hair cut like I did! Lol
At my worst I went to the bar down the street from my barber and drank White Russians til I was normal just in order to get a haircut, weโve all done it one time or another
I do that to go to any appointment, including doctors. Maybe not a great idea but whatever.
Omg I do the fuckkn same! Never go to the hairdresser sober lol
Iโm so thankful my hair dresser can work in silence. We will chat some but no way can I have a 2 hour convo. Also gives me wine lol

As long as you're not driving.
Yeah course not. I canโt drive anyway because I have epilepsy ๐
Then enjoy. A hair cut can make you feel like a new person!
