What do you do on Friday Saturday nights?
I know my Friday and Saturday night is waiting until I can get to the gym the next morning, and thats depressing AF
Play guitar, drink beer, eat pizza
Work, if not working, I lift around 3 a.m.-ish, reload ammo, window shop via Internet, torment my wife as much as possible, etc.
Staying sober for myself is def harder than it sounds
Boredom & accessibility is such a bitch
I found it easier to change my sleep habits. Now I get up at 0400 (4 AM) so I go to bed early.

You sure do have an interesting life.Quote:

I get home from work about 4-5pm friday evenings. I’ll eat something and just decompress until around 7, then hit the gym for maybe 2 hours. By the time im back home and showered its 10pm and i dont mind knocking out in bed.
Saturdays are a little harder to resist from beer when im off work haha. Especially on a nice sunny day
What's good about beer? I stopped drinking altogether many years ago cause all I used to get from alcohol is drowsiness and numbness.
It's a tad dif when working for yourself and being able to run your own schedule
For the first 2 years I stayed hammered damn near 24x7 - work, drink, a little time off - get to the gym. . . This was a 24x7 cycle for well over 2 years
Ive known guys who ran their own little company out of a van (construction, plumbing, whatever) and would have the helper drive around all day because the boss was drunk the entire time. I mean, atleast they are being a little responsible lol. I love beer but not that much!Quote:

This year has been my "most sober" year since my early 20's. . . . . Soooooo
But, yes drinking by itself was never my issue up until these recent ER visits for terrible GI issues
So, yeah - sober, yay - who hoo
LoL
I don't usually drink but tonight i have some whiskey on hand, this chick fucked me up.. my fault
probably the gear fucking with my aggression and anger..
I can't drink anymore if I wish to grow or even maintain. What i do is this. Post and think.
Usually in that order too!
I can moderate my drinking fairly well
Most of the time now, I'll have 2 Corona lights & I'm done
Thats what the edit button is for though! I think a lot of us would be in trouble if that edit button didnt exist.Quote:

Im on my first cycle now, everyone around me drinks so its been hard to abstain. I may have a beer or two if its a special occassion but definitely dont let it get out of hand. Ive read you can have a couple from time to time on cycle but man is it tough
Thats funny as hell. Conscientiousness (hard working) has many facets some are orderly others industrious, better to be more industrious but when youre living in a van and need a helper to drive youve gone too far lolQuote:

We then signed him up for food stamps. Our next step is to see a lawyer that specializes in disability. He has moderate autism and ADD imo - has lived outside like a dog for 15 years. I know a lot about addiction and mental illness. I knew I didnt want to bother with an addict so honestly I just felt the call to help this dude.
Once you stop drinking or using you start to notice its like a second job keeping busy. Too much of life seems like family/friends and work.
Good manQuote:

Alcohol can be a slippery slope, drinking in moderation is a problem for me haha my party days were a bit overwhelming and going hard was always the name of the game unfortunately.
Any suggestions for video games? Overwatch is getting old for me and I never got into battle royals (and those seem to be all anyone is playing)Quote:

If it wasn't for the damn Ketel 1and/or Tito's I would be alright.... Sorry to HiJack, Samson, how are the GI issue's going, did it resolve from lack of alcohol.
I drink very little anymore just for the fact that my free time is very valuable and I hate to waste it feeling like crap after a rough night.
I do enjoy waking up and not having to ask my wife who I had offended the night before. My filter never worked very well when I was into the whiskey.
Hate that feeling.Quote:

My friends like to party a lot, I enjoy going out but not the after effects or hearing about shit that I did while drunk, not to mention cost as well... my go to now is to offer up being the designated driver for the night.

So, back to drinking I went - fvcking lame, I drink like a fvcking fish. I pay attention to it close now, but I put em down - trying to slow down seems to b more difficult than stopping ____. I always drink when I eat, shit - half the time I start drinking with lunch, and sometimes after breakfast depending on the time of day. . . . . I hardly ever get hammered, I just find myself continuously drinking throughout the day.
Oh well, I am working on it - but, my boozing seems to just slime it's way back in
How do u say no to 5 dollar top shelf happy hour - LoL
I got bored of Fortnite pretty quick. If you like MMOs check out final fantasy 14 . I played wow for a while and just hoping into ff14 and they have a free trial going on which is nice.Quote:
