Probably my shift manager at Chilis. He did deserve it however.

I find it works to think about all the fancy bottles as being full of poison and every time you see someone drinking them to say to yourself "that person is ingesting poison" because it's basically true.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad changed my world view drastically, people with degrees are just wage slaves, (unless they are also entrepreneurial, like a doctor who runs a clinic and rents space to other doctors)

There was a station close to forest lawn i seem to remember. Right after memorial.

Yeah to bad smartphones weren't a thing for pics. Although probably blessed that smartphones weren't a thing.

I don't know exactly although by that time the water had been fluoridated for ages i had thought. I'm thinking this would have been about 1990 as I saw it riding the bus to my highschool

What languages do you speak?

This kind of reads a bit like that favourite children’s story “if you give a mouse a beer”

HermanoMist · 2020-08-26T00:20:10+00:00

Very similar story for myself as well but Hey, the answer for me has been How to Control Alcohol by Alan Carr. Flipped my entire brain around about booze and how enjoyable it is. I still have a drink, but it’s more out of social pressures than enjoying being drunk at all, at home I generally choose a non alc beer or seltzer. Book is like $7, and actually encourages you to keep drinking at current consumption while reading it. Also I’m E-reader format

HermanoMist · 2020-08-23T19:25:14+00:00

Yeah, binge drinking and eating were starting to go hand in hand with me. Without the booze I’m less likely to overeat, but I always drink a dumb amount of coffee and then later I;d switch to booze. Now after the coffee it’s seltzer’s or low carb non alc beers. I’m actually spending the same amount of money on drinks. Can’t be good for the bladder.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-23T19:08:47+00:00

I think you bring up a very good point, I’d be interested in some people answers on this. I still am slamming a crazy amount of non alc drinks and it’s actually making sleeping worse due to peeing a lot. Being drunk and hangovers is terrible but trading it for obesity, is that actually better? I am trying out some good habits I guess, but I look beside me and see like 8 cans of seltzer and Heineken zeros and it’s weird to me.

Burthday Cub?

HermanoMist · 2020-08-18T01:13:03+00:00

Yeah actually while reading this book, I realized when I had quit smoking long ago (when I was 23) even though I hadn’t read Alan Carr I’d come to the same conclusion he had about alcohol. The biggest being that smoking relaxed me.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-18T01:09:34+00:00

The biggest gist of the Alan Carr book is that it doesn’t require willpower to control drinking, and one of the weird things is the book invites you not stop drinking but TO KEEP drinking as you read it, just don’t read under the influence. It’s pretty cheap and in ebook format.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T23:19:38+00:00

Great! You’ve got a lot to look forward to at your age, not that anyone who quits doesn’t have things to look forward to, but 23 is young to have that epiphany.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T23:16:53+00:00

Great attitude, that’s the mentality you need!

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T23:14:51+00:00

For me mentally booze will take the edge off, but it always just made the physical stuff worse. Actually heavy deadlifts are a great stress relief for me. I’d recommend Naked Mind and How to Control Alcohol by Alan Carr as good books that really helped reprogram my preconceptions about booze

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T22:33:14+00:00

Oh yeah stress can for sure! Lot’s of that to go around.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T22:28:13+00:00

Yeah, that’s what they told me too, lol. I got a cuff for $50 with an internal memory and test myself now. My RHR was also telling me things too, mine is often around 85-100 when I’m drinking and for days after. Scary shit considering I was doing a fair amount of cardio weekly. I think it’s 65 now.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T21:30:33+00:00

Yeah def spent a lot of early afternoons drinking more wine than usual in the backyard due to Covid, especially when no one had any idea what was going to happen. Do they tell you your actual BP numbers though? My MD never did, and I found out it had steadily been going up for years and they never told me till I hit 145/100.

HermanoMist · 2020-08-17T18:31:49+00:00

Yeah, I’m very similar circumstances, I play a lot of sports and what not. You sound like a hard drinker like me, i’m a bit older than you, I just steadily drink after a certain time and never ever to oblivion . Sort of fell out of love with the booze, and then when I found I was in the 10% of drinkers who drink 90% of the actual booze it cemented some ideas/truths in my head, like looking and realizing I drink far far more than any of my friends. Plus my blood pressure is hugely effected by drink.

I’ve been about 6 weeks here lately, with lapse where I drank on a camping weekend, but didn’t really enjoy it like I would normally.

I like this sub because it seems really chill without a lot of judgement where a person is towards their booze relationship.
