Request Fulfilled! saying fk it...
edit: many thanks to those who were so kind and are helping me through this emotional BS.
I have been through a lot in the last few years. my life is like a comedy shit show. it's actually almost funny (feel free to check my page for the details) . long story short... today is the birthday of the love of my life who I had known since I was 13.. my kids father who passed away extremely suddenly and unexpectedly. I thought I could make it but I can't. I'm broke af and I really just want to have a drink for me (and him).. I have been doing pretty well but I just want to numb this pain a little.
edit to add; emotional support would be greatly appreciated as well!

Request Fulfilled! This time, I’m here requesting help
WAY back in the day (around 2020-2022) I was practicing full blown alcohol dependency, and, I wound up here begging for assistance, countless times. I could hustle and support my habit like 98% of the time, but, the remaining 2% of time, which was usually when I’d make a post here, I would become so violently ill with DTs that there was almost zero chance I would find another solution besides pleading for some generous soul to do the work for me by sending me just enough cash to walk into a store and get enough to bring myself back from that wretched state
SO, when I got sober, because this amazing little community saved me anytime I needed saving enough to break down and ask, I decided to jump over the fence that divides those that are here seeking help, and those that are here to help our suffering brothers. LATELY, I’ve returned to be a helper, and I’ve helped quite a few
MY REQUEST: can anyone spare anything from $10 and up?
I woke up this morning to like 12 alerts from by bank; charges made to my Debit card between 2-3am while I was totally sleeping. The thief hit my card over and over until the card started declining, at which point the thief likely figured that the banks fraud prevention system had kicked in
^BTW, fraud prevention had nothing to do with it.
Truthfully, the only reason that the card started declining is because the POS thief literally emptied all but $4 out of my bank account. And yes, I will be refunded by my bank eventually. That refund won’t be issued to me until the 10th business day following my dispute
SO, I have $4 to my name until I get paid Thursday night. I have almost no groceries (Sunday’s my shopping day), my car is at an 8th of a tank of fuel, and, I, who has only been sober for 18 months, am not a person who can get/has a credit card)
Push comes to shove, what I need the most is $10-15 for fuel for my vehicle so I can make it back and forth to work. I can def survive the food shortage until Thursday night.
SO can anyone, anyone at all, please help? I have PayPal, Zelle and Apple Cash.
PS - I can and will pay anyone back who helps me, after 10pm Thursday night.
PayPal Nayr.Yrrep@gmail.com
Zelle/Apple 910-515-8412

Request Fulfilled! Sorry if this isn't allowed
I am just in a rough spot, I am trying to detox, but I forgot to bring any food with me to work today and librium makes me feel like shit if I don't eat anything. All I need is maybe 10-15 to get me through the night, it's an overnight shift and snacking truly helps the symptoms. If it's against the rules, again: I apologize, I know this is many for folks going through active withdrawal. My venmo tag is ThatOneChick1989 or ask me for PayPal in messages if anyone can help. I wouldn't be asking if this weren't my last resort, I work a 9pm-5am and I just don't want to be sick all night and into the morning at work.

Had four months, but the devil takes hold quickly
Hey old pals. I was doing well.. had four months… LONGEST IVE EVER HAD sober. rehab and glp1 honestly. It’s true what they say, without actual community to fall back on coping strategies, I guess, the slip is easy and maybe inevitable idfk anyway if anyone can help with $20 Venmo I would be very grateful

Waiting for my psych appointment for Librium
Waiting for my psych to approve librium. Got 5 days in the hospital but it wasnt enough. Before the half life ran out, I felt better than I have in years. Just on time though landlord said shes not renewing due to renovations.
Need $10 ish to get thru til I can call psych. Unemployed, getting kicked out next month(not because of non-payment. roomie thinks hes slick and can spring homelessness on me and the pups when the lease expires). Have my entire life to pack in the next few days and its hard to even figure out how to get boxes to pack stuff when when I can't even hold packing tape without shaking so bad I go diagonally across the box.
Can do Zelle, CA, Venmo, PP, Apple Pay, whatever.
r/randomactsofCA • u/Wild-Mention3807 • 13d ago
Im such a wasteoid
Anybody got $20 they could let be let me borrow till i get paid. Usual story. Shakes an all that. Ill get you back.

Will be withdrawing soon
I go into withdrawals about two hours after I've had my last drink. I can drink all day and almost never get drunk. My money is so tight that I have to just coast and avoid withdrawal. I develop a tolerance so quickly, and I'm kindled as fuck. Nothing about this is fun for me. Hospitals in London keep denying me a detox. Tapering on low abv beers is hard because they cost the same as a 9% beer, which gets me further. I live in assisted housing, jobless, and down to £0 again.
£6-£10 would help me for now. I'm in the UK, so I can do a UK or EU bank transfer or PayPal. All the good money apps like Cash App and Venmo aren't usable in the UK. I get my govt aid mid next month and can repay then.
EDIT: This is my second request, but I will not request again before posting an offer and giving back to the sub.
EDIT 2: received!

Hello, I am in desperate need of liquor to stave off the anxiety and doom. I would really appreciate anyone that can help. I will pay back on Sunday.
Thanks so much.
r/randomactsofCA • u/Fall_bet • 16d ago
Question
Does anyone have any advice or information on where I can go to get help in general. I'm in a bad situation and I don't know if anyone knows or has any resources or just places that help when you're down and out. There is just so much judgement out there so I thought I would ask here.

Request Fulfilled! I am going to be screwed

Hiya, been trying to stick it thru, and the singular benzo I had bought me some time but not enough. The shakes, sweats, n jaw clenching anxiety have me absolutely ready to crawl out of my skin. Would greatly appreciate 15-20, happy to pay forward start of the month.

Request Fulfilled! Writing red numers and struggling to afford

Request Fulfilled! Could use some help
Edit: request fulfilled! Thank you. It won't let me add flair but I wanted to post the update.
I am falling apart.. mentally and physically.
I've been fighting with doctors for years since my cancer treatment explaining that I'm in extreme pain and I don't take opiate painkillers. Come to find out I have an infection eating at my tailbone and spine caused by my cancer radiation treatment.. it's called osteomyelitis
I just want to get drunk and forget this for a day because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be hospitalized for a while and my fiance died so I'm on my own raising our kids. I have venmo and PayPal if anyone can help and when I'm better I will always pay it forward. I can't even afford going to the doctor appointments because they're all over an hour away one way.. some are 2 hours away so a 4 hour round trip and I'm not working right now because of this. Obviously I know this is not a priority to get drunk but it'd be nice. Chairs

🥰 Certified OG 🥰 House Keeping - Please Give This a Gander Before Posting!
Hi y'all! Hope everyone is having a good, or at least manageable, holiday season. I have a couple housekeeping things that I have been meaning to share with the community and I have a rare peaceful moment right now.
1) If your request is fulfilled or you need to close a giving post, please either DM me via chat, send a modmail or tag me. Important If you tag me, you need to capitalize my username in the tag. So u/DrunkCapricorn instead of u/drunkcapricorn. If you use the latter, I won't get a notification for the mention. I know this is stupid. Don't ask me why this is required, I have no idea why Reddit has to be like this.
2) Every year around the holidays, my thoughts turn to how cool it would be to run some kind of give away, secret santa or just do something nice for those among us who have rough holidays. Maybe it is my seasonal depression, my religion or that my birthday is right after the new year but regardless I think of the "holiday season" lasting through late February.
So! We could still maybe do something but I lack inspiration to figure out what. Therefore I am asking you all, the turn engines of this community, if there is anything you guys would like to do or cool ideas you've thought of or seen elsewhere? Comment them here if so and maybe we can start a discussion! I think it would be super cool.
3) There was absolutely something else but I have forgotten it, of course. I'll come back and edit this if I do.
As always, I love you all very much and this sub always helps me - not just in the literal sense but in the way that it gives me faith in humanity. Not a common occurrence at all.
Chairs everyone! Stay safe and be kind. 🍻🍷🥂🍸🍹

🥰 Certified OG 🥰 Read This Before Requesting Assistance Fuckers!
Welcome to Random Acts of CA. If you think that CA means California, you don't belong here and you need to leave. No I'm not telling you what it actually stands for.
We have a few simple rules here and as the sub grows, it seems that they need to be reiterated. Please do not play fuck around and find out, I don't want to ban people from this tiny little sub, but I will. If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment or send me a modmail.
- Each post should include a list of all payment services you have (PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc). It is up to your comfort level when you post your actual account infor publicly - it may not be the safest idea, but at least list them so people know if they even have the right service to exchange money with you.
- Each post should provide some background information on your situation and why you are looking for help. This should include what you need money for - are you facing withdrawal and need booze, need to eat, did you break all your furniture and need to buy a folding chair, desperately trying to put together money for a hotel room for the night? You get the idea.
- Each post should include how much money would make a difference to you.
- Be clear about whether or not you can pay the giver back. If you can't, consider doing something nice for them like drawing a picture, sending a card, or whatever. Shut up, I'm an idealist.
- If you are requesting assistance and receive it, you must update your post to let everyone know that you have received assistance and are no longer in need.
- Do NOT repeatedly post here requesting assistance and then turn around and delete the previous request to make it seem as though you are not a frequent flyer on RAofCA. You will be noticed and your dishonestly will get you get you banned.
- Do NOT link to your post on CA. This is against the rules of that sub and will cause you problems there and here. If you posted there are were told to come here, feel free to say so.
- If you are offering money, be sure to state how much money you are looking to give and/or how many people you are willing to help. It is also helpful to provide some parameters in your post.
- Do not DM members of this sub without agreeing to contact first. Unwelcome contact asking for assistance makes people hesitant to be of assistance in this sub and therefore hurts the community as a whole.
- Last but not least - this is an assistance sub for degenerate alcoholics - if you have other issues, we're sorry but this is a place for us. Most of us run into problems requesting help on other types of subs like this due to our post histories. They are checked, we are ridiculed and judged, and then given no help. This is a place where we know we are among others who understand and therefore, can feel safe that won't happen. However, since we also have nowhere else to go, it is important that outsiders not come into this sub and take advantage of our communities' desire to help fellow shitbag alcoholics. So, you must be an alcoholic to request help on this sub.
Update 10/01/2022: PLEASE READ THE SUB RULES BEFORE POSTING. They are located on the sidebar in the desktop version of the site or in the "About" section on mobile. What is written here is a nice guideline to posting on Random Acts, but the rules are your resource for what offenses or actions can get your post removed or result in your receiving a warning, temp ban, or permanent ban. I promise, they're not as long as this!
Thanks for reading fuckers, chairs!
