    I never do. You just got to build up a tolerance. Some people keep telling me it’s an addiction but they’re just pussies who can’t handle their alcohol.

      Since I’ve largely quit drinking I miss being able to get drunk and full at the same time. Such efficiency

        It really is a time saver until the whole… You know, liver thing…

        Good on you, I’m currently cutting down myself but it’s been difficult. Recently moved across the country and my wife and daughter are staying back until the house sells so I’ve been alone and bored for over a month now. Praying it sells soon before I fuck my body up lol

          I didn’t mean to preach, it’s a new thing for me and was sort of forced on me medically. Boredom is so hard, it’s my biggest issue. I just cope with cannabis instead of alcohol

            Not at all! You weren’t preachy. I used to not drink at all and only use cannabis but after a very very bad experience on mushrooms every time I smoke or use weed I have severe panic attacks and alcohol is the only thing I can use anymore to calm my nerves and stop my stupid head from doing its thing. I’m not an alcoholic by any means but ask me again in a couple months and that might change if I don’t.

            The move across the country was for a work promotion so now I’m the boss and opening a new branch in a new state so I’m trying to keep up and setup everything while taking direction over the phone and it is driving me nuts!!

            But I don’t mean to complain really, it’s just new and stressful and being alone is literally the worst thing for me. I’ve never been away from my family more than 2 days before and over estimated my ability to cope. I’m happy here and know I did the right thing but it’s tough.

            Good luck to you and hope your medical things go well. If you read all that, thank you, I needed to get that out lol.
