Quantum Entanglement
Serious noob question here, but wtf is a quantum superposition? I've googled and it's all chinese to me...my best guess is an object/person being in multiple places at once or am I way off?

Losing a love
There comes a point where dating and trying to make something of a romantic life just becomes a wasteful effort. If you have enough negative experiences and they outweigh the good ones by an astonishing amount it's past due to change your approach. I'm in the same position myself but I'm the one moving around late spring/early summer and really have a really great girl but know it's just going to end up me being unhappy...probably her as well. It seems like you're making a valiant effort to get over her by not engaging her and deleting the number and so on. I'm the last person on here you should be getting romantic advice from but if it were me I would just let the idea of being with her go. Talk to her sure, be friends even hang out when she's in town or whatever but I would just leave it at that unless of course you plan on relocating clear to DC but that's a whole other topic in itself.

love is really fucked up
If your relationships are anywhere near this level of fucked up then just opt out of them all together....I don't have much else to say.

bundy and alcohol
I used to do this combo a lot of 4 or so years ago. Eat 10-16 CC's and sit at the bar drinking beer. The weird thing about it for me was I would kill a beer in like 4 minutes but time seemed so slow it would seem more like 20 minutes. It wasn't bothersome like time dreadfully dragged on painfully it was more like I had absolutely no concept of time relative to what I was doing so...I guess if you want to get drunk fast it's good for that too.
The nearest Whole Foods is over 2 hours away...same with Starbucks. I love rural 'Murica. Just put them on Raise...I buy egift cards on there all the time at that price they will sell like crazy.

Freewill
No I can't alter the past or change the laws of physics but neither can any other human before or after me. What I can dictate though is how things go from here on out. I can control the most important things that can be altered though. You get to decide whether you end up in prison or rich as fuck living the good life I would argue there is a vast difference in those two alternate realities. There is no "no matter what you do, you end up at X place or with X person or with X amount of friends or any other factor you could consider an important aspect of your life.
There are such circumstances that good/bad things are already very probable from the day you are born. There are literally billions of scenarios and they are all possible it's just the probability of each one are different. Ultimately it's up to you how things go though.
Nah he had whores on tap, Brah.

"I'm an alcoholic"
Well sure there's no question on whether or not it causes relationship/legal/financial/health issues etc... I just don't think it's accurate to call alcoholism an "incurable disease" that's mostly AA propaganda anyways not sure if they coined it or not but they sure love to really push that definition at the meetings. An incurable disease is something that cannot be possibly stopped by any means whatsoever. It's not THAT hard to stop drinking, it's entirely possible and within means of reality. There's a reason why drug and alcohol counselors don't walk into hospices and go "Just quit dying, faggots!".

"teen" angst
There's a point in your life where you're basically like "shit happens". Not be mistaken for indifference or acceptance but there will always be completely unnecessary horrors in life and things that aren't fair. Maybe I have some left over angst too because there are things that legitimately aren't fair or even the least bit rational/logical that happens and when I point it out everyone is all like "ha, life ain't fair, kiddo!" which I guess is their cliche way of saying it's not their problem(IDGAF). It's good that you have at least some type of passion left to care about things but you need to actively do something about it and don't let your voice get drowned out with all the complainers but be heard by taking action.
The woods/back country. More specifically mountain/rugged terrain in Appalachia. It's probably because I'm so used to it but I would honestly live in a shack on a dirt road than a mansion in a meadow/suburb though suburbs can be pretty pleasant too depending on where. I think the people(or lack thereof) tend to make or break the atmosphere of most places.
I'm 27 years old. Currently in "drug court" until April of next year. I own my own business so money/career isn't a problem but I'm just going to jump through the hoops until I "graduate" the program. After that I'll just be getting nice outside so I plan to build a farmhouse so far away from civilization that even helicopters can't get to it and just sit back and collect money. I've been driven to being a hermit at this point.
Trump wins the election he loses Iowa but wins the remainder and it's not a landslide. The Carolina Panthers win Super Bowl 50. The Cardinals win Superbowl 51. By the summer of 2016 the second great depression will begin to take affect. The stock market will be worthless so dump your shares before then. By this time in 2017 America's military forces will have grown to over 15 million, more people than the entire state of Ohio. Gas is outrageous in America. A fill up will be in the triple digits for normal sedans. The only three places in the world that will remain livable and civilized are Australia, New Zealand and Argentina I'd suggest you save as much as possible and move to one of those countries. No it isn't the Apocalypse or Armageddon but this will all be caused by forces sent that are beyond salvation "teh Jesus" isn't coming either. Southern Florida is basically wiped out by a hurricane and Miami becomes a wasteland. That's all I can remember at the moment, will add more if I think of it.
I went to my first AA meeting about two weeks ago on a Thursday at noon. When I pulled into the church no one was there but as I approach the church there is an elderly man in his late sixties sitting by the entrance smoking a cigarette. He asks me if I'm here for court to which I confirm his suspicions. After the casual cit chat and exchanging names we go down a spiraling staircase into the basement. Soon after this tall black guy of a comparable age and about 80 pounds overweight joins us. The elderly man reads some shit about "being powerless" and I'm asked to read something about improving our lives and being powerless again and God being the only answer blah blah blah. He passes this wooden basket around for collection and about this time yet another old man comes in. He's horrifically ugly with disfigured eye sockets and nose wearing a Sturgis tee. Automatically I just don't like this guy. He starts talking about how many people go through these meetings court ordered and only want their papers signed and they don't care about the program. He isn't aware that's why and the only reason I'm there. He goes on to tell us about his parents being alcoholics and how as a baby he would sip his parents left over beer. He flaps on for what seems like an eternity and eventually I just have to tune him out also figuring I wouldn't get much of a response even if I did have something to say. The black guy then talks about having a dream about being at his favorite bar with all his friends and ordering a tall beer mug of straight Jack Daniel's black and not being able to lift it so in a last resort he just sticks his face into it and sucks it up like that.
The "chair person" who I had met first tells us how his life has been such a struggle and how much this program has helped him stay sober. The remainder of the meeting is spent by the three senior citizens demonizing alcohol and how none of us can get through addiction without the Holy Jesus and AA meetings. After the meeting is over I'm ecstatic that it's ended and GTFO as fast as humanly possible. I have 8 of these instances so far, and 16 more to go starting around Christmas. If you want to know more I'll try to write it all out but until then I suppose do it if it works for you but personally I can't fucking stand any of it.

My cousin died this morning
My cousin shot himself a decade ago. Not really like a overdose(which I'm guessing this was) but there was something about him doing pills and being upset over some girl I really don't know the whole story. Like you I hadn't seen or spoken to him in several years before that and I was personally pretty indifferent to the whole thing. Funerals are horrific to me and I swore I'd never attend another one again but there's really nothing you need to know if you're going to attend just dress nice.
How old was he?

Can't sleep without alcohol
Could be you're sleeping too much. After I had to involuntarily quit alcohol I thought the same thing about not being able to sleep anymore. What do you physically do during the day and what kind of job do you have? This is just speculation but I've noticed I don't need more than 5 or 6 hours a night and I'm fine throughout the day. I don't need 8 hours because I do jack shit physically.
90 percent of the time I'm either driving a car or in a comfy chair when not sleeping in bed..leads me to believe 8 hours or even more would be pretty overkill. 8-9 hours would probably be sufficient and needed for someone who stacked lumber for a job or lifted weights 2 hours a day but that's definitely not the norm for most people. So most people are sleeping 8 hours when they really only needed 5 and there's no wonder why they can't get to sleep at night.
