Question by emily:3: I have no idea what to do, plz help” 10points to best answer?
basically im a 17 year old girl. my parents are alcoholics and abusive so obviously im trying to get out of the household asap. im at a breaking point due to the fact that i feel completely helpless. i have no work experience other than a job as a food prepper at a baseball stadium that i quit after my first day (they were so desperate for workers in the last week of the season they hired a 17yrold with no experience. i literally just stood there all day, had NO IDEA what to do, pissed everybody off, and never came back.) four months later i got hired at a subway sandwich shop and once again, after making subs i had no idea what to do in the back of the store and would just stand around until more customers came in. i asked the same questions constantly for about a week but i assumed everybody asks questions when they first get hired somewhere. i could tell i was disliked strongly there and was fired after two months with the only explanation given to me by my boss in an email was “we r letting you go, ive gotten many reports about u and witnessed firsthand its just not a good fit” my self esteem was like smashed after that, i know i have horrible social anxiety and i can’t do another job like that. i don’t know what to do because it literally took me two years to find the subway job and i couldn’t even hold that down. im seriously doubtful now that i can do ANY job, and now that i got fired at subway i can’t use them as a reference which will make it impossible to find another job (EVERYBODY wants experience) i don’t know what to do im desperate for money i need to go to college. i dropped out of high school and got my GED and i seriously need to go to college and i can’t do that without a job. i have no transportation which means i can ONLY get jobs on the busline which narrows job options so much… im thinking about just trying to babysit full time? i need advice!!! please has anyone else ever been in this situation, i am desperate!!!

Question by blacy45: what is wet brain due to alcoholism?

Best answer:

Answer by Maggie Mae
“Alcohol also affects the brain. Killing large amounts of brain cells the more and more the person consumes. This leads to short-term memory loss and eventually what people call “wet brain”. This is when the alcoholic’s brain no longer functions properly. This is a pre-vegetable state. The alcoholic can no longer put coherent sentences together or even function their bowels or bladder correctly.”
http://www.spencerrecovery.com/alcoholism-effects.html

“Alcohol has a special affinity for nervous tissue, and as a result chiefly of its direct contact, but partly from its effects on the blood current, the working cells of the brain shrink, the supporting structure hardens, the cerebrospinal fluid, which should act as a protective water-jacket, increases in quantity and exerts injurious pressure. giving the familiar picture of “wet brain” so common in the autopsy room of hospitals caring for large numbers of habitual drunkards. Existing in a less degree, these brain changes are objectively shown in the impaired mental power, the muscular trembling, the shambling gait, and the lack of moral sense of the chronic drinker.”
