Sobriety 2023

I’ve worked down to drinking 0% beer for satisfaction lol. Tricking my body with FILTH.
it’s been a nice journey reaching the close of the year. I genuinely forgot who was basically lol. i think I’m less Vulgar for sure sober. You’ll notice in Alice and Borderland ep 4 or 5. I forgot which. I compliment Usagi and Director wanted me to express it like the way he does and i was uncomfortable speaking that way lol. So I’m like “oh yeah…i was a gentleman ..i forgot…well I’m back lol”.
but yeah. I think I’m a bit less animated but i have a greater understanding of life around me in my current state.
Im also SIGNIFICANTLY more sensitive lol. Y’all hurt my feelings last week. I gotta learn to manage that again hahagaha.
Tomorrow is new years and I’ve managed to reserve the times i drink to a few nights with just my wife and I in moderation.
os…i gotta vacuum
Congrats my man

I respect this so much. I am a light social drinker and the pressure to drink from people is can be frustrating. I didn't realize how ingrained it is in our culture until I slowed down.

Good shit man, love to hear it.
And idk if this helps, but I've heard that sparkling water is a good substitute for when you want a beer.

Congrats, keep that going next year too =). At some point you will feel more normal not drinking when enough time has passed again.

Congrats Lee I'm glad. Yeah it's good to drink in moderation. I do the same thing like with holidays, just every now and then something light or alcohol free.
About your feelings getting hurt - sorry that happened to you. Was it the Bleach upload ep 365 and the comments on that post? Regardless just know the positive comments will outweigh the negative. Plus you're human and I know that. The positive energy is here, and we support you. Thanks for acknowledging us and I know you'll continue to do so.
Said this before but I'm glad that you always share different things with us about your life other than just posting reactions. We get to know you more. Cheers to a great 2023 🥂, continuing to better myself and elevate myself. Hope everyone else does as well 👑

Keep on keeping on, Lee. I turned 30 this year, which was the two year mark of me making a similar decision (departure from alcohol, save for special events in moderation). It helped a lot with getting focused; recently, I finally hunkered down and dove back into my Japanese study, couldn't let a year plus go to waste! I've felt the sensitivity increase too lol, take it as just another facet of yourself to appreciate! Here's to 2023, to you and everyone else, we all gon' be alright!

my mentor at work had a severe drinking problem 4 years ago and just recently had his 2 year no drinking anniversary so ive seen first hand how difficult it is to leave drinking behind. you have my utmost respect man.

My father drank a lot before. He even went to the hospital a few times cause of it. This year he told me he hasn’t drank at all and i was proud. Glad to see you also limiting yourself of alcohol. Congratulations on the journey lee. I know it wasn’t easy. Keep it up. Entering a new chapter of your life

I feel it, one of my uncles passed from lung cancer and smoking has left me with an almost permanent cough. I got a 6 year old that I want to see graduate and the cough has been concerning.

I saw a high school friend passed away from cancer around the time and my liver was bothering me. Mortality was creeping on my body and thoughts. I particularly was afraid of being successful and than just dying. That would suck 😭😭😭. All this grinding and not able to enjoy “retirement” lol. I got my kid. I gotta last long enough for grand kids. Lol

Congrats on the progress you're making, as someone who just started trying to quit smoking (tobacco) I know that shit can be tough at times

For non-alc beer I recommend the Athletic Brewing co. Their Golden Ale taste pretty much like the real thing

Good on you man. While things might seem bleak or you feel less "cool" and "fun" sober, you're working past an addiction that could've been devastating to your life, and your family, in the long run
