🥰 Certified OG 🥰 House Keeping - Please Give This a Gander Before Posting!

30 Upvotes

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!

98 Upvotes

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.

​

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Each post should include how much money would make a difference to you.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!

Just need something to eat

Went on a bender after a major mental health episode this past week.... Exhausted all my resources and now have no money for food for myself. If anyone can help me out I'd be so grateful. Mods, I go by another username on here usually and have helped out others a few times. Message for my cashapp or venmo and I promise to pay it forward when I'm doing better ♥️

It is the day

2 Upvotes

My mom's birthday is today, may she rest in peace. I was trying to figure out why I've been acting like an asshole more than usual lately. This day sucks tbh. I went to an interview yesterday and the recruiter told me right away she wouldn't hire me. Eh. Whatevers. I'm still searching, in the meantime, I have no money for booze and this is going to be a difficult day. All I'm asking for is 10. These days I only drink cheap beers, anyways. I have venmo and cashapp. Venmo: ThatOneChick1989 and message me for my cashapp because it lowks reveals my government name. I appreciate y'all, even if you can't help, this sub has gotten me out of multiple binds.

My phone charger broke, stupid me moved money from regular paypal until paypal savings. I have no way to buy anything. My uncle is going to my grandmas shortly and i'm giving him my phone because shes the only one around whos phone uses the same type of charger as me and will charge it for me. I cannot go with him. I have no idea when he'll be back and i'm already really starting to withdrawl. Heart rate is insane and i threw up a huge amount of bile..

Been helped before and want to do my part as well! Is there anyone who’d benefit from $10? I know it’s not much, but it’s also been a blessing when people gave it out to me and I needed it! Want to help the community out. Got Zelle/cashapp/venmo!

I'm going through withdrawal like hell. I really have to taper, but got not enough money, I've tried panhandling and apparently I suck at it. I got enough money for like 4 liters of wine which I have to spread out. I only have PayPal and Revolut.

Much love to yall.

Family death

5 Upvotes

Someone who I shared my horrible cardiophobia with in the family has passed away and I’m distraught, I know drinking to forget and offset anxiety is probably the worst thing I can do but it’s all I really know. I get paid on Monday, I’d really appreciate a £20 to tide me over the next couple days. Will happily pay it back on Monday. Sorry to ask. :(


r/randomactsofCA • • Sep 11 '26

Request Fulfilled! Celebrating losing my job!

11 Upvotes

Good evening, fellow degenerates!

I recently lost my job and ran out of things to sell/pawn or friends/family to borrow off to keep up with my drinking, but managed to hustle some cash to grab a bottle last night and now am looking towards to generosity of other folks who have been through a similar situation.

I am actually happy losing my job, and taking this as an opportunity to celebrate and find something less soul crushing and hopefully more fulfilling.

Long time CA and now just lurk, but deleted my CA posts off the subreddit out of sober embarrassment, but would be happy to share some pics of me in the hospital or something as proof since my profiles empty lmao.

I'm just looking for $25 and I am located in Canada so the standard e-transfer is all I can do at the moment. I get my last paycheque on Friday as well, so I can repay then or pay it forward.

Chairs

I've been helped by u/dazzit14 ! Thanks again!


r/randomactsofCA • • Sep 05 '26

40 is a lot. I know.

I'm 19 bucks overdrafted, it's gonna take 6 to 8 bucks to get a Lyft to the store. And then 10 for the booze.

I've helped out a few times recently and I hope that puts me in good standing. My cashapp is wellzev

Offer Closed Hello my friends

10 Upvotes

I recently asked for help here, but it couldn’t be provided. Which is understandable, the economy is in the shitter.

Anyways, I’m good now. I want to contribute what I can. I have $10 that I can provide to someone through Venmo. So any qualified CA hit me up.


r/randomactsofCA • • Sep 01 '26

Request Fulfilled! Got $1 in my venmo, could use some help...

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, it's been quite awhile since I asked for help and I won't go through a sob story. I'm legit and have helped people on here before and have received help. Just trying to get like $10-20 so I can get right. I have venmo and PayPal.

Won't be able to go back to work for 2 weeks so I'm definitely in a tight spot. Thanks to anyone who bothers reading this!


r/randomactsofCA • • Aug 29 '26

Going to detox in the next day. Need a bottle before. Can pay back with interest.

Thank you ahead of time. I'm going into detox in the next day. I need a bottle to pass the time until then. $20 door dash credit is the only thing I can do because my bank account is overdrawn and I can pay you back $25 in the next week. Chairs.
