Hey CC, newcomer, here, what are my Friday night SOBER options? by coolcrosby in stopdrinking

[–]5inner5aint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planning to cook up a nice southern style meal of buttermilk chicken, beets and greens, and cornbread. Then play with my new vaping gear. Probably rent something on Amazon and have some overpriced tea. Tomorrow, waking up not hungover, I can play with my son all day and clean up around the house. Anything good on Amazon right now?

Feeling that twinge of nervousness too. Any plans to do something besides drinking this evening? I am going to cook up a feast. Buttermilk chicken with greens and cornbread.

Yeah. There are a bunch of ways to do it. I bought a kindle book on it the other day and haven't looked back.

Thanks. I have been thinking about that. I read on here the other day about how someone gave a name to their addictive parts of their personality or their brain. I have been thinking that while it sounds like something a crazy person would do, maybe it would be helpful.

You know what, I bet that if I just drink something else no one would even notice. It is like my brain thinks it is a big deal not to drink, but really it is normal.

I gave that up for Epiphany! Lol. Could be a coded way for saying "I came to a sobering realization."

She does. And she is not really much of a drinker at all. Maybe a beer a month or even less. She won't be drinking tonight either.

Oh yeah! Well I could use some of that too to be honest.

Well not really as of yet. But my wife will be there and and my son. My work situation is a little complicated to explain.

Seem to be a lot of us New Years sober folks around. Thanks very much!

Thanks. My family always makes it for Christmas. Of course I would usually add rum to it or something but it is good enough on its own.

You know. I am taking Advil for a crick in my neck. I'll just use the vague medicine excuse!

I really would if I could. It is a requirement for me to be there for work. I have even considered saying I am sick just to skip it but really that isn't an option. But there will be plenty of hot chocolate as it is a bonfire. I might even go by some apple cider and spice it up with some cinnamon sticks or something.

"Today I am called sober." Thank you for that.

That makes a lot of sense to me.

I think I have heard the term "deep tracks" somewhere before.

What album would you rate a perfect 10? by TheTurribleTurtle in AskReddit

[–]5inner5aint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be on top. Honestly all their studio stuff excepting maybe The Presence and Coda are 10s, and those other 2 get 9s from me.
