No I’m not catastrophising.

The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.

Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.

I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.

I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.

Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.

*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.

On line AA meetings. 24/7. The only requirement to go to AA is a desire to stay stopped. If you think your depression is going to make you drink, come talk about it.

SMART Recovery is a non-Christian substance abuse support group. Though it can be difficult to find an in-person meeting because AA is so prevalent.

I'm in NA meetings on discord. There's also a big God involved but just try to look besides that. They're open ans very welcome to anyone that wants to stop

AA is a Christian support group, if you don't believe in their God they won't help you.

If you look at the site I provided, you'll see that they have plenty of atheist/agnostic meetings [labelled 'secular.']

They also have a lot of LGBTQ+ meetings, as well as men only and women only options.

AA suggests people try to find a Higher Power of their own understanding.

These are religious meetings for addicts and alcoholics. The atheist and agnostic meetings are well-meaning but they talk about gods even more than at the non-secular meetings.

I am however delighted it works for you.
