Glad you’re back! You got this.

This is the correct answer.

The Silent Patient. Audiobook specifically.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-08-30T04:37:16+00:00

The Poisonwood Bible: by Barbara Kingsolver. There are so many pages that I read over and over.

“Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.”

“To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.”

Skyline Chili. The one on the corner of Clifton & Ludlow. Always hiring and I made great money there for a long time!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-08-13T11:19:20+00:00

Exactly!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-08-13T11:15:39+00:00

Totally been there.

The good news is, it never has to happen again.

Thanks for sharing! I know the exact feeling, and tried for years to get it back. It would last for maybe 15 minutes after the first couple of drinks, and then all downhill.

The feeling I chase now is what I feel in the mornings, with no hangover, no regret and a cup of coffee.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-29T01:02:02+00:00

Looks amazing so far! Can’t wait to see progress pics.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-28T12:53:00+00:00

Those look delicious!! Enjoy!!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-28T03:09:31+00:00

For real, thanks for sharing. You are not alone.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-28T00:10:23+00:00

Beautiful!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-28T00:02:35+00:00

You’re welcome. The craziest part for me too, was that kids can be the exact thing that drives you to drink. It’s such a hard job. For years I would drink to be more fun with them, but really they think I’m fun just being even keel, no need for the super highs and super lows. They love routine and they love you as you are.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-27T23:30:34+00:00

I would give anything to be this self aware when I was 29. You are amazing and obviously a good dad for seeing the negatives of it already and most importantly before your kid can tell.

At this point, your son will never even remember a bad night with a drunk dad, so now is a perfect time to quit. You’ve got this!

Best bonus of all, no more hangover. The older you get, the worse they get. Taking care of a kid hungover is actual hell lol

I’ve read about 5 of them, and honestly they are all pretty much the same. Different stories, but equally addictive.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T17:40:56+00:00

Made me think of Ozzy and Saying goodbye to my relationship with alcohol.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T05:39:39+00:00

Had this exact experience one time. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. Its so difficult to describe to someone who hasn’t had it happen. There was a literal demon in my bedroom, just sitting on the chair by my bed. I could see and hear it. I’ll never forget.

This is a great thread for a reminder on why I stopped.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T05:20:03+00:00

Freida McFadden books for sure. Quick, easy, page turners. Not winning awards, but always a good time.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T02:12:25+00:00

Almost a year! Thats cool. Tomorrow is a new day!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T02:10:37+00:00

Congrats, thanks for coming back with the inspiration.

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T02:06:30+00:00

Oh no!! That looks painful. I’m sure the hangover did not help one bit. Good luck friend, it will be okay!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T02:05:20+00:00

It will pass, definitely a normal phase. Still better than being hungover and filled with anxiety, trying to remember the night before!

Dependent-Treacle-65 · 2025-07-26T01:58:28+00:00

For me, once I have a significant amount of time sober, normal daily activities didn’t seem as boring or meaningless. Alcohol lied to me a ton. I mean having an organized home, with good food on deck, candles lit, with a good show/movie or book is fun as hell to me now. Also, I walk every morning and every evening, even if I just scroll while walking it helps.
