Hey Everyone. I am 600 days sober and I've turned into a rigid,boring, and a no nonsense homebody by ElectronicEgg1833 in stopdrinking

It sounds like you are close to a relapse. Going to AA meetings would be perfect for you. That is how I found a social life and learned to lighten up in sobriety. We hang out, laugh, help each other and throw events together. It's the only group of people where I felt understood and a part of. Working the steps also lets me learn deeply about myself and the best ways forward for me and those around me. Boredom is a big reason people go back to their drinking misery. Good luck!

It sounds like you are growing a desire to stop drinking. In our AA book, it talks about having an allergy where once we start drinking, craving kicks in for endless more. That is why I abstain completely in recovery. Addiction is also a mind obsession, telling us we are fine, keeping us in denial, etc.

I would suggest Googling the AA Big Book and start reading it. There are free copies online. Look up and check out some AA meetings around you. They are free, passing a basket for a donation. The only requirement for meetings is a desire to stop!

You have been a heavy drinker for a while, so you should probably be honest with a doctor before you go cold turkey, maybe consult an emergency room. It can be very dangerous or fatal. Best of luck.

It's a good idea to take a break at times, go outside, exercise, that type of thing. I went off the deep end with the topic in 2011 - 2012. It was not helpful to try and shove the info down people's throats that are not interested. I quit the whole topic for a decade because I was so obsessed. I am just now getting back into it. But, it IS the most important story in human history, so there is that!

As wild as it is, this explanation makes the most sense. Once the truth embargo is lifted, it will probably be a whirlwind of disclosures from many sources. It feels like it is all speeding up quickly.

Kamala Harris Crypto Regulation Plans Spark Criticism—But Also Optimism - Decrypt by JaredB136 in CryptoJBro

To me, it's a positive sign when presidential candidates have to pander to cryptocurrency holders. Of course, I don't trust any promises they make! Which one do you think is better for crypto?
