Oh to be young and dumb again. I remember a night with a few bumps that ended with a competition to see who could break more beer bottles over their head, and then me (totally fucked) driving a bleeding friend to the hospital for stitches. Many questions and nurses shaking their heads that night 👀🫨🤣

The folly of youth eh. Thankfully, we're all still here🙏🏻. I sense a lack of drug fuelled excess from nostr:nprofile1qqsqlk6vykkxt8j7lpqa446p0ea900yqn8200rpugxjqjn2tnjye8dqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsp42zmr here🧐. Just teasing😜.
Thankfully some people aren't quite as off the deep end as I was.
Maybe I don't miss those times that much actually 😅
I'm MUCH more sensible these days, but do still occasionally dabble. It's in my psyche to do so. I just can't be "Straight".
I'm pretty calm these days. A powerful espresso is my strongest drug 😂
I just can't help myself sometimes. I have no wife/partner. My son has moved out, I dont need to work, so every few months I think, right, I'm going to get completely fucked tonight, or for the next 48hrs😳😂. So I do🤷🏻♂️😂.
Good self control. My issue is stopping at the 48h mark 🤷♂️
*3 months later*
That sounds ouchy!
Yeah I'm a year off booze after a year long bender. 10 years sober prior to that. Addiction is a hell of a thing.
I made it through Christmas this year smiling & clean though, so I got that going for me 😁
I remember you saying Ryan. Good luck man🙏🏻. Addiction is strange. And oft, misused. I'm a binge drinker, not an addict. I can go for weeks without drinking but when I do, I'll often just carry on. It's unhealthy. But hey, you only live once🤷🏻♂️.
I'm glad I got it partially under control way back, or I would have only lived ½ 😅
Good man. Mine is under control too, though it does waver.
This is gonna sound grim but try and look up a documentary called "Raining in my heart". Fuck me and and wow!! That really reigned in my drinking😳😳.
I'll check it. The title is intriguing.
In reality the drinking isn't the real problem, for me anyways. It's what your covering up with it. Being comfortably numb feels like a blessing, but it's not.
I'm kinda the same. Once the wheels are in motion, there are no brakes!!
