Retired on 12/31, so I’m at 79 days. Over the 25 years I was in active drinking service, I probably averaged 3+ beers about 3 times a week. So, it wasn’t totally debilitating but certainly I did some regretful things and generally wasted a ton of time.

A few years ago I noticed I would get drunker quicker than expected, so I had to start monitoring a little more. This eventually just became the moderation game we hear about - 1 beer wasn’t satisfying but eventually even 2 beers were enough to fuck up my sleep.

I just finally figured I’m done feeling like crap. Well, I still feel like crap but at least I’m not making it 10 times harder on myself by drinking.

Each day I think about it a little less. Really hoping I get to the other sober thing I hear about - feeling genuine joy again! I do find myself thinking and exploring hobbies I dropped in high school when booze took over. It’s fun to get to know myself again. IWNDWYT ❤️

They stay in the green by selling carbon credits.

You could pay $6/month to get rid of ads, which I did for a while.

Season 3 so far is subpar compared to the first two seasons. The characters just aren’t very engaging. The Ratliffs are supposed to be southern but Jason Isaacs somehow sounds Australian. Hopefully the new arc with Rick makes the ride worth it.

Can’t stop the signal.

Well the IRS is about the same at $7 revenue per $1 spent, but yeah.

Aggrievement is the central tenet of these people. They imagine it everywhere and never accept reality.
