Glad you're doing better!

…. and then you bought a big bag of shitcoins 😂

🤝

Now we cry at the milk aisle because of inflation. Good to hear you figured it out.

Respect the self awareness 🤙

Glad to hear that you crawled out and triumphed

Glad you are better now 🫡

Did the same in 2019. Wave of pain and emotion hit hard the first year I was sober. Then everything got better

Thank you for sharing, AH. It can be hard to determine why we break down crying in the grocery store. Is it inflation or the 20 beers I drink every Friday night?

Been trying to limit alcohol this year and can confirm the raw and intense emotions that come out of nowhere. I used to have a couple of drinks every day after work just to cope. It's been tough trying to quit. Happy to hear your experience with it and glad you're better off!

I haven’t stopped drinking entirely - but it’s only 1-2 beers or a glass or two of scotch once a month. I’ve made it reward and reserve it only for special occasions.

I’ve had many trips with LSD, Ketamine, Psilocybin and Canabis. Also ripe for abuse but I use them with intention to change my point of view.

I was an ER Trauma and Forensic Nurse for several years and alcohol is by far the worst kind of poison we can put in our bodies.

Good on you HODL. Keep it up brother!

Some people never have this realization. Props for being able to see it. 🤝🏽💪🏽

When you face your demons you realize they’re not that scary.

4 year sober now with very few exceptions, 1 good Cocktail or 1 good Rum on special occasions.

Everytime I join drunk people I get a very strange and bad feeling as I see how they change with each drink.

I just wanna leave this atmosphere after 20mins.

Thanks for sharing. I think many can relate. It's easy to pretend. Much harder to face your demons.

5 years sober since 30th Dec 2019..

12-20 drinks is a decent amount.. definitely up there with the best of them..

1. Money saved

2. Real friends realized (went from around 10 to 0)

3. Time - got so much time back

4. Studied BTC every waking minute

5. Trained a lot more with no hangovers

6. Less social interaction due to stupidity of people when they drink

All in all - being sober is very much frowned upon but us BTC people are use to it!

#bitcoin #sober #lonelyroad #freedom

it's amazing how fucked drinking is.

i didn't have a 'problem' either

i just fell in to stopping and life got better

i found god

which is fucking weird in itself. not something i was seeking, and about as cliche as you can get with not drinking, god squad etc. but my point is.

drinking destroys your connection to the universe and your higher self 🌌

I’m new to Primal and am already sick of shallow GM posts from crypto influencers 🤮 and other complete nonsense. I especially enjoyed your post about wanting to live in a society based upon Christianity but not being able to believe the supernatural stuff. I def feel that too.

I came to the realization that I’m better off not drinking. Feel better physically, mentally, family has a long history of alcohol problems. I just need to cut it out of my life.

sobriety is the way

do u think u can have a healthy relationship with booze moving forward?

or are you done?

Thanks for sharing. I got almost 6 years without. Love waking up clean and clear!

God speed.

I used to drink way too much also - red wine too many nights per week. Kind of decided to go cold turkey last month when I finally realised it was becoming a problem (post a shock) and not looking back.

Work was fine.

Things at home were fine.

Exercise was fine.

So was convincing myself, there was no issue. Functioning semi-alco on a path to full blown.

One incident brought it to a head.

Game on now every day.

Can’t say it’s been a stroll but everyday makes it longer since last drink and I hate breaking a streak.

I’m grateful that you’re so open and honest on nostr, nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgu5gy2r

I love reading your reflections that you’re broadcasting on the open protocol of information.

Thanks!

therapy hodl isn’t as cool as WARTIME HODL but I’m here for it. Thanks for being transparent, it genuinely helps 🤙

Where I from 12-20 drinks in one evening is normal. 😂

sarcastic hodl response 😜: “cheers to you”

In short...

I’m the same sadly, drink maybe once or twice a month but it’s full send. Same scenario, bring a 12 case and crush it plus some shots. Usually have a good time and no negative vibes, not running away from anything, but just trying to send it.

I don’t get physically hungover, but I swear I’ve got the worst anxiety for the following 4 days, and motivation is shot for at least a week, no matter how much I drink.

I too deal with the repressed emotion thing. I think a lot of dudes do. I’m not sure if that’s the cause for me but I do need to nip the habit, it’s just not worth the mental effects once you have responsibilities.

> 2 years without drinking now. Not going back.

"MAN UP" IS PEAK HUMAN COGNITIVE LEVEL

Good post. It's not easy being human, but we must be present or we miss the best parts.

Having kids was my handbrake.
