Real tired of media using someone pouring liquor away as shorthand for recovering from alcoholism.
Hope that person doesn't experience any alcohol seizures! That'd be unfortunate! 😐
#kai rambles#tw alcoholism mention#its just like#if youre not gonna put the work in to show the person recovering#can you at least find a shorthand that isn't something that could kill the addict in real life?#use an AA token#or show them looking at a flyer or leaflet or whatever for addiction recovery services#or them at a rehab centre checking in#just something that is actually reflective of recovery as a process#because just pouring all your liquor away is very unlikely to help you recover#and quitting cold turkey is fucking dangerous#i remember the times my brother tried quitting cold turkey#and i remember that because i memorised a symptom list for alcohol seizures and what i should do in case of one#i had it written down in countless notepads and in the notes app on my phone#i was *terrified* it would kill him#and i just think that in media that it's trying to responsibly portray addiction (which not all media has to) you shouldn't be using#coding and symbols that endanger the person's life as some Good™ Symbols#It's Good That They're Pouring Their Liquor Away#NO IT'S NOT THIS IS HOW YOU GET ALCOHOL SEIZURES#if you're going to try and responsibly portray addiction you need to meaningfully engage with addiction#rather than this surface level bs
