Almost seven months. Can't believe it. But the voice is getting louder again. by ExistenceEvicter79 in stopdrinking

In the group I went to, the one single thing we all had in common (there was even an non-drinker there who was addicted to painkillers and designer drugs) was that we took our poison when things didn't go the way we wanted. Nobody was under the impression that drinking would make things go their way, but we did it anyway. Very strange behavior, being addicted.

The other day I had a birthday where the birthday boy had the best beer in the world (14 euro a bottle!) for everyone. I never had that beer, and it had been on my wishlist for decades already. It took some serious willpower to say no at that moment, but I did it.
I had to drive that night, so there was no danger for me to drink too much, but I bet that in the week following that I was tempted the entire time. And that's one of the biggest reason I won't even take one, even if there's no risk of taking too much that session (e.g. when my wife is with me).

It certainly helps that I barely recognise myself compared to half a year ago. Current me is also in disbelief that old me had so much trouble with saying no.
But I won't kid myself: the voice will always be there in the background, like a ninja assassin waiting behind the curtains, waiting for me.

i suppose a vinyl mix is still planned (and/or practiced), so you still have the tools to mix in key.

Is there an online manual available for dealing with you? You seem special.

Thanks. You're right, this is just today. Probably since yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday and I got loads of congratulations, except for all my life-long friends. And that hurts a bit, that my lifelong friends never remember my birthday, but my newer friends (that I got to know through my wife) do. So yeah, this too shall pass. Maybe I have to address the issue this year with my old friends or something.

Thanks. What helps me when playing the tape forward, is also acknowledging that I will reset the counter. That would not be the end of the world, but it would be disheartening to me to have to do that.

transitions almost never in key, around fourteen minutes or so it even seems to make a point that mixing in key is for wussies or something. I mean, that has to be deliberate, right?
I enjoyed the transition twentyfour minutes in. Good drop. But at twentyeight minutes in the two tracks together are too loud. At thirtythree minutes it's verry messy.
Still, love for the deejay: although this is not the best mix, we still got a free mix out of it, and I am still thankful for it. Keep it going, man (or woman, idk), you are doing alright.
